first 11 they're + a striker and - a midfielder, so about the same there. in terms of squad they've not lost anyone of particular note but have brought in vieira with saliba back from his loans so slightly stronger there but then both those are young and unproven in this country, the american goalie is replacing leno which you'd have to assume is a downgrade. tbh whilst i keep an interest in what arsenal(and others) are doing, i honestly feel so confident in what we're doing right now that even if they were to bang out a couple of big names in the next few weeks it really wouldn't concern me at all. as it stands, i think things would have to go very wrong for us in order for them to overhaul us.

also, just on gabriel jesus. i do find it kind of interesting the rhetoric around him from the media. all i've seen is pretty much universal praise for what a great signing he is yet for the past two years the same media have been telling us that man city have been winning the league without a striker, i mean that's pretty damning for arsenal's new #9 isn't it? seems like a strong end to the season from him has basically made everyone forget that. i do actually think he's decent and will probably prove to be a good signing for them but the level of adulation he's gotten so far isn't really in line with what he's delivered on the pitch.

Also they've technically replaced Aubameyang and Lacazette with Jesus, so according to the stats last season they're actually no better off. And I vaguely remember Jesus getting a few goals in a single game too.
I'm convinced he'll bang in a couple to get the season up and running, but it'll no doubt fade and we'll all be laughing at those AFTV clowns by October

Lego head and GJ now the second coming of Ferguson and Henry respectively. I don’t know what meds Julian takes but it certainly should. be prescription only.
Why do I bother watching this ?

He's right though.

They could.

In the sense that I 'could' have a threesome with Keira Knightly and Scarlett Johansson. I mean, I could......I could......I......shut up all of you

Kante’s legs have gone hence why he’d be the perfect signing for them

So that's why they call him NoGoLo

Correct. He should be okay. They have had plenty of legless players in the past - Merson, Adams, Parlour, Charlie George……the list goes on.

I'm very curious to see how Jesus does next season. At times, particularly near the beginning, I thought he looked to have a lot of potential. But even when City had injuries they didn't seem to trust him to lead the line.

He is now their main man. Some players step up to this but he seems like a player who will shrink when the going gets tough. I see him as another player who'll look good when the going is good but disappear when they need players to step up.

Outside of that I haven't seen much evidence of them doing any business that could particularly improve them.

A boom or bust signing.

I'd love to know how much clubs use the website transfermarkt when valuing players.

I'm guessing somewhere between zero and none?

Well Spence is worth €8m on transfermarkt so maybe that is what Levy is trying to tell Gibson in the negotiations?

Yes! I think that is definitely how it is done! ?

Next week, LeGrove will write a weird essay about how Spurs are fudging the books because he managed to sign Richarlison for 12m on Football Manager.

It seems that we are just in a much stronger position in many areas and the signings we made have hopefully made the gulf between us and them greater.
When I think if next season and our competition I'm putting us up there with Liverpool and man City, and not these fuckers.

Are they after another attacker? Our 4th choice is better than their 1st choice! They must be.

You need to ignore LeGrove. Been following him on Twitter for years and he's only been getting relevant recently for his anti Tottenham takes. He's going to lean into this role of posting shit about Spurs if it gets him clicks. He is some sort of marketeer.

Won't lie. I love it. I even watch the dude's youtube videos. I love that him and his crew hate Spurs with such vitriol. This is a big part of fandom to me. I love Spurs, but hating on Arsenal...chefs ?.
I'm similar to him on twitter, in that most of my interactions are trolling Arsenal fans, difference being I do it with truth.

I’m not sure who I despise more, him or the Spurs fans responding to him biting at his obvious wind ups. Probably our fans for being so dense if anything.

Buggsy61 · Jul 11, 2022

Like a lot of people in this business Le Grove is looking for his big breakthrough by stirring things up a bit but he should be pitied rather than vilified. A quick glance at his you tube channel shows only 2k subscribers, which for someone who has been doing it for that long is quite frankly pathetic.
You will have you tubers teaching people to poach eggs in a microwave getting more subscribers than that!.

I read somewhere that Özil wants to become an E-Sport pro ?
