Haven't commented on the potential move for Raya to Arsenal, he's a good GK, maybe Arteta just wants some competition between him and Ramsdale. Weird move otherwise, Ramsdale has been transformative in the way Arteta likes to play these past 2 years.

Not sure I agree with the breakout player needing to be someone new to the league
By FortuneFaded Go To PostBullshit decisionFF’s having none of it, Willi.

Yeah just weird that's the place where he wants most competition. We need to sign someone an attacker imo, and a good one.
Looking at our potential 23 man squad the only real missing piece is a good striker, Jesus does well but Nketiah can be like playing with 10 men at tumes

Think Saka cover too
Casual Eddie really lucky to be at current Arsenal. He would be ok if our ambitions were still only getting european football but we're clearly aiming for big trophies now with our spending and so he shouldn't really be here

Think he's OK for carling cup, emergencies etc. Like third fourth choice.
Lauren James is very good.
Arsenal should prioritise Balogun as back up striker over Nketiah. He’ll get plenty of game time with a 60 game season and an inevitable Jesus injury (unless Havertz is the plan)

Laughable rumour but if somehow it happens, he'll be gone by the end of next season. Come to papa Klopp though.
Today is the day Mbappe gets his 60M€ loyalty bonus for still being a PSG player. What a wonderful job it must be.

By Scum Go To Postthat's barely news lad, just another Sunday in the best country in the world
[Loïc Tanzi] Paris Saint-Germain are expecting a concrete offer from Chelsea for Kylian Mbappe after a phone call between Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Todd Boehly!
Does.... does Todd think the conversation with Mbappe is going to go differently for him?
And does Todd know that Mbappe didn't exactly love his time under Poch the last time?
And does Todd know that Mbappe didn't exactly love his time under Poch the last time?
Yeah I mean it’s one thing to persuade that idiot Al-Khelaifi but a whole other to persuade Mbappe. I don’t know why he would want to play here.
Like I get the feeling Al-Khelaifi is doing this to build a case of tapping up against RM, rather than seriously thinking he can sell Mbappe.

By sohois Go To PostPersonally I think that the PSG lot really are simple enough to believe if they put out enough scary articles about how Mbappe is on the verge of going to the PL, Madrid will be forced to make a bid
I'd agree (and it is probably partially true by way of a last ditch gambit) but they also seem completely convinced he has an illegal pre-agreement with RM, which in fairness they are probably right.
By Laboured Go To PostHixx's boys going for Colin Dagba.
Would be surprised if this is true, we have two specialist young right backs (incl. Trai Hume who will play PL football eventually) and two more lads who can play there comfortably.

Season starts next weekend and West Ham have purchased 0 players.
Man, I reckon we're going to get a nice panic fee for Maguire and/or McTom.
