I’m choosing to be optimistic about this one. I watched him tear us a new one for RBL in the Champions League just before Covid, was so impressed and gutted when he went to Chelsea. Now that was 4 years ago but if Ange can get some of that out of him I don’t see a risk here.
A lot of good work done earlier in the window but the bottom line is we still have about 5 to many players, sold our greatest ever played and not even tried to replace him, have one striker in the squad and are a Romero / VDV injury away from an absolute disaster. Negligence, pure negligence!
So if they, or anyone else, buys a 25% share - presumably the initial investment just buys the shares from Levy and Co. Are we then reliant on the new partial owners wanging more money in, or on levy reinvesting the £1bn?
thanks in adancze.
Whatever you think of Conte and Levy, the current situation is unworkable. With six months on his contract he isn’t going to be fully backed with all the players he wants - I can kind of understand Levy’s reticence here (that’s not to excuse his many many previous failings).
Quite what we do...
100%. Spooky said something along the lines of had we waited and announced Richarlison and Bissouma today, as both have barely played, people would be thrilled with how the window has gone!
Still hopeful we might get one more though and going to assume the lockdown is for good reason and FP has...
I think as it stands now, we are a couple of players light but things were never all going to be fixed in one window.
Would be great to add another attacking option to the bench (on the basis Gil is going / isnt fully trusted yet) and in a dream world we'd add a Perisic'esque RWB as well...
yes of the course they do, I just think the reactions are being amplified by arsenals current false position. There is reason for concern and plenty of room for criticism but some of its just pathetic.
Would half the bed wetting that’s going on at the minute be as bad if it wasn’t arsenal who are top of the league? If we were 3rd behind city and Liverpool I think people would be much calmer. They’re elevated position is causing chaos in our fan base!
that’s not me saying we’re playing great...
Real game if two halves.
First half terrible, no intensity and have to say I expected a few changes just to shake things up - not sure anyone could moan about being hooked.
second half was much much better from the first whistle and we should have been out of sight really. Perisic, Kulu and...
I think this is a pretty low risk signing. We obviously wanted a big expensive LCB but they weren’t available so we’ll roll with Davies (who was outstanding last year) and Lenglet.
Lenglet was great at Sevilla and then lost his way in a disastrous Barca side, nothing to say he won’t recapture...
Lenglet delay must because we’re still working on something else in the background and we’re waiting to see if that comes off before pulling the trigger on him. Assuming it’s someone from Inter based on the latest info!
edit: great minds @SpursAU !
