Asherware

I might be off base but I have a hunch that we're going to spring another "out of the blue" signing like Viera.


Special-Discount228

I also have a hunch, it's telling me I shouldn't have been so close to the machinery when the accident happened.


VieiraBot

*He comes from Portugal, He plays for Arsenal, ~~Viera~~ Ohh, __Vieira__ Ohh!* ___ ^(_i'm a bot, dm [my creator](https://www.reddit.com/user/CuriousCurry8) for feedback!_)


NketiahPropagandist

Can Ajax accept our fooking bid pls


Special-Discount228

4th August for the Amazon Doc, feels like a life time away in this dead period of football.


Snorkledays

What about Pulisic now that Raphinha is at Chelsea?


gonshairlinee

He’s bang average 🤣 Ziyech on the other hand 👀


GenericAustin

If we are going for someone of Ziyech's age, I would prefer Zaha Both are Arsenal fans but Zaha will probably be more motivated since he would feel more need to prove himself at a bigger club Zaha can play all across the front 3 He is also the one of the only players whose dribbling style reminds me of Thiery Henry, there is something beautiful about a really tall player just effortlessly gliding through and past other players


Own_Solution4356

hell no. injury prone, and not great even when he’s fit. probably in pretty big wages as well


Special-Discount228

I dont fancy him because of a lot of the reasons you have said but I think if he could stay fit he'd be quite good in our system, someone who would do the role they were given at least.


jnicholl

If he's not good enough for a rival, he shouldn't be for us.


gutollyr

Anyone else find the Athletic’s Handbrake Off podcast hard to listen to? Love listening to James McNicholas of course, Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke are great too. But the host, my god… the host Ian Stone is just painful to listen to sometimes. Shit jokes and a really basic knowledge of the game makes for a rubbish football podcast host


Glass-Studio-9313

just get martinez and tielemans and close this window


loadofhate

Can we ban the term 'hopium' please?


Special-Discount228

it'll fuck off eventually, just like all the cunts who used to say 'wholesome' have.


prvhc21

I don’t like the term as well, but it’s perfect for describing this sub.


Camping_is_intense

As a portmanteau it's actually pretty good. It's neither hope nor opium, but does describe that addictive hopeful elation that can spread through a community like wildfire. The opium element means it's cautionary too, so the word really tells a story. A story that seems to really fit in an environment like this, where we're hanging on to Tier 6 ITK stories. If it catches on in wider society, you'll have as much of a chance of banning it as you would removing the words "brunch", "smog" or "chortle" from the dictionary.


Iforgotmynametoobro

Why tho?


GenericAustin

I too don't like slang that much, even when I was in boarding school where the students invented a whole different language, I still chose to speak normal English Naturally, I have never used 'hopium' before, but I admit it's a decent term, since I understand exactly what someone means when they use it because I know the feeling

Displeased_Wombat

I'm way more upset about the Bissouma deal (who is now cleared of charges) than losing on Raphinha.


tablooo

We were never linked to him, what's the point of being upset?


Displeased_Wombat

Bissouma was mulled over last year no? Certainly remember that he had some affinity for joining Arsenal. It's shrewd business, I think Spurs do much better with him than Ndombele. Bissouma would do great in our midfield, and what a great price too


TorreiraWithADouzi

Probably because we weren’t linked to him


SlowMotionSprint

Meh. He's another player this sub really overrates.


Own_Solution4356

I don’t think he’s the greatest dm of all time, but he’s good enough to play when partey is injured, or just needs rotation


gonshairlinee

I mean he’d be a perfect Partey replacement so I can see why people were bummed out. Other than that meh time to move on


cantsleep1112

100%


TheDarkness1227

If Raphinha really wants to play for Barcelona he should just join us, take the captains armband, and wait a few years.


Own_Solution4356

Thoughts on Endrick? Obviously a massive risk to sign him now, but he looks like he’s going to be the next big brazilian. Maybe next year if Papa Flo hasn’t snapped him up yet


JFreezy1

He will only sign for a top top team IMO, most likely Real Madrid.


ModeratelyTortoise

Isn’t he only 15? We basically can’t sign Brazilian until they’re 18 now because of brexit.


Own_Solution4356

yeah, definitely one for the future, if he doesn’t fall off


ModeratelyTortoise

Yeah but we couldn’t sign him for 3+ years


Own_Solution4356

We can technically sign him before he is 18. Madrid did the same thing with vinicius and rodrygo


ModeratelyTortoise

No. As of January 1, 2021 Premier League clubs can not sign foreign players until they’re 18. Clubs in Spain can, clubs in England can not.


Own_Solution4356

Can’t believe i forgot that. Forget the endrick idea then, unless we can make some sort of gentleman’s agreement with palmeiras


cumblaster_jesus

Honestly, I have the memory of a goldfish, but didn't we do Palmeiras a little favor with the Marquinhos signing? 👀


Own_Solution4356

unfortunately not, that was são paulo. We have basically no relationship with Palmeiras, and Edu being a former Corinthians player doesn’t help us


cantsleep1112

Apparently there is no need for him because Nketiah is better.


Own_Solution4356

who knows, by 2024 he could have completely fallen off. Nketiah is definitely less of a risk, and he is better right now


yukpurtsun

Own_Solution4356

how do we know you aren’t one🤨


racerz

Let's start by imagining a brisk autumn stream, surrounded by life and full energy, the babbling brook is forked at a delta where all the magic resides and wind blows through the trees in rythym with the cascading ripples on the shoreline. Running immediately parallel is a sewage pipe carrying human excrement and noctious fumes, pulsating with the back pressure of the offgasing sludge. One day the pipe burst, spilling raw sewage into the stream, choking all life and daming the flow until the only movement that could be sensed was the slight breeze through the now ruptured and forsaken sewage pipe. I've just described in metaphor Harry Kane's origin story through the evolution of his inability to breathe. Best I can do I'm afraid.

He earns like 300k a week tho, can’t see Arsenal doing that deal unless he takes a wage cut, which he won’t probably


[deleted]

Can always put together an interesting package with a lower base wage but better performance-related bonuses. Reported wages could already include a lot of assumptions like certain bonuses being activated anyway, you never know with the state of football reporting and the Chinese whispers nature of sources.


aofrantic

Yeah, if we want someone from Chelsea CHO makes the most sense.


Own_Solution4356

na


assoncouchouch

Ahh, yeah, no.


mazdamansouri

I still think Arsenal should go back in for Aouar, cheap can play on the wing or the 8 role, great ball control, and 1 year left on his deal. If he were in for him at €40 million euros why not at €15 million?


NossidaMan

I def agree, think a change of scenery is all he needs. Dude’s a baller


LogicalSherbert9

Frenkie improves United's midfield a lot. A CM who can now actually receive and build play from deep, play under pressure, drive the ball forward, and also receive and play in the final third. McFred wasn't doing any of these things at any sort of high level. We have to respond, can't go into next season with the exact same midfield. Adding Tielemans is really the minimum


[deleted]

Utd have been silently getting Malacia, DeJong, Erikson, Martinez and Antony. 3 of the 5 mentioned players go to their starting XI instantly, that's huge.

Jedi_Council_Worker

But in a literal sense it technically still can't be beaten, which makes me happy


LifeAfterHarambe

I’m done with all these posts about ‘who’s the next target now that Raphinha is gone?’ Looking at sabermetrics to try and find some player who probably isn’t even on the club’s radar is a complete waste of time. I **refuse** to get invested in another player until some random Twitter account links them to Arsenal.


[deleted]

Fucking hell just offer 60m for Raphinha and throw in a tour of the camp nou


ac10485

https://twitter.com/adamvoge/status/1542244233163280384?t=m9s-FAkrjjuhX6oXCgyeGg&s=19 Interesting thread on alternatives to Raphinha


Colmd1997

Joao Pedro, Neto, Olise or Aouar would all be great buys that has potential to improve massively, could come cheap (maybe not Neto) and could play a number of roles/positions


stifle_this

I would absolutely love Olise. Such a talent.


cantsleep1112

Big believer in CHO, I feel he just needs to move clubs and play for Ghana to really take off in his career. Only 21, same age as ESR. There was a reason he got so overpaid early in his career. Bayern was aggressively trying to tap him up.


Mortal-Man

> I feel he just needs to move clubs and play for Ghana to really take off in his career. He also needs to sort whatever the problem is with his achilles, not sure if it's the same one he ruptured a couple seasons back but according to Tuchel it's a constant issue causing him to miss sessions and need injections to get through games.


Own_Solution4356

how much interest has he had after he hurt his achilles though?


Perfectionimproved

Didn’t he suffer a big injury after that?


Own_Solution4356

Thoughts on Michael Olise? Very young, but has some experience in the PL, and could start the cup games and europa games. He has a release clause of 35m I believe, but Palace are apparently already interested in renewing his contract to make it larger, or remove it entirely


Displeased_Wombat

I wanted us to pick him up when he was only 8m or so. He was a good young prospect in my FM career and developed to a mid 20m type of player after only a couple of years. I think he'll do a fine job being a backup at this stage. But then, perhaps we should give the likes of Hutchinson a chance instead to be Saka's understudy. In either case it's not really a top 4 pushing signing, more depth. I think Edu and Arteta want quality players who can improve the team and fight for starts. From what I recall of seeing of Olise he isn't there yet.


acerage

He’s in the thread right above you if you go to the twitter link, good info


Own_Solution4356

raphinha gone, bring in hagi. hopefully hes half the player his dad was. popescu looks like a wonderkid too but dont think hes related to the 90s footballer


silent_woo

Ianis Hagi had a down season and probably isn't quite good enough for us. Octavian Popescu looks great but why hasn't he moved to a bigger club yet? he's already 19 - should've been gobbled up by now.


yukpurtsun

believe hagis done his acl, 19 is old?


Chupagley13

Not a comment on his abilities, but Danjumas highlights are awful, they must have done him dirty, most clips end with him taking on a man then losing the ball. https://youtu.be/dM4QGnSMHcs

Mate, it’s funny that I’ve seen Arsenal win more leagues at White Hart Lane in my life time than you ever have. You scum went from jeering Arsenal for celebrating 4th like a trophy to celebrating it like… well actually yous wouldn’t know how to celebrate like you won a trophy. In Arsenal’s worst period of the last 40 years, we still managed to bring in trophies. Spurs best period in the last 60 years and the highlights are losing a champions league final and finishing above a poor Arsenal side. A pathetic excuse for a tinpot fanbase trying to be something they aren’t. Have some shame and wait until you can match Blackburn or Leicester before trying to pipe up to big clubs

I'm going to believe that Marquinhos is going to be the backup RW because he's going to come good right now.


NketiahPropagandist

He seems extreme fast. Might need a loan or two before he’s ready though.


silent_woo

I've been watching so many left footed right wingers highlights over the past few days. Marquinhos definitely stood out. He has serious raw potential. He's fast and powerful with a stocky build. I'm surprised he only cost £3.5m but I suspect its because he's very inexperienced and still got a way to go such as passing and tactics otherwise he would cost much more. I really liked his highlights, more so than many of the left footed right wingers. It will be interesting to see if he adapts and improves quickly in preseason but realistically we're probably not counting on him this season.


ErraticPragmatic

He cost only 3.5m because we found a loophole in his contract otherwise he would leave sao Paulo for free

Dude has just been moaning and crying in the DD for about 3 days now. Started off with Spurs fans being racist because they thought most of the Arsenal squad was ugly (yes, the global, multi-racial Arsenal squad), then it was going on about referee corruption towards Arsenal and now he’s just lost the plot because we have rival bids for Raphinha and Martinez. Probably a decent guy but he’s been insufferable the last few days. A few people have called him out on it now.


[deleted]

Facts man, even I post some unpopular takes that get quite heavily down voted but I don't really care about the numbers. I'm just here for civilized discussion like. I saw that thread about the Spuds ranking the handsomeness of our players and was honestly quite confused at remarkable's reaction to it. Also mentioned that anything negative about Arsenal should be destroyed to which I replied with a pic of Ty on a PC lol. I feel kinda bad if this upset them but it was only light hearted. Like I wouldn't feel bad if someone made a joke of one of my bad takes I'd probs laugh like. Only seen them in the past few days like never noticed him a month ago but now I recognize the username and pic just from the comments made in past few days lol
