      He’s passionate and English… hard for some to let a guy who obviously loves being the arsenal keeper to not start. Unfortunately we have to be ruthless as other big clubs are as it’s not a charity… as disappointed as he may be, he must surely understand his position isn’t cemented

          It’s inevitably both. I think having an emotional connection to the club without having an emotional connection to the players is inhuman.

            I get that, but it’s a problem if you prefer a player even if it’s to the detriment of our clubs success, then it’s a big problem.

                If you don’t want Arsenal to win trophies that’s fine. But that means you’re no Arsenal fan and you have no business in this sub. Please feel free to leave.

                  lol what? What are you talking about? Are you a moron?

                  Liking Arsenal players makes you not an arsenal fan now?

                  How many games have you been to in your life? What makes you an arsenal fan?

            We can hit even closer to home. I like Ben White as well, but if he’s replaced by Timber next season I won’t start bitching and crying like a fucking baby like some of you lol. And you can take that to the bank.

            Do I support Gnabry over Arsenal? Do you see me crying he’s no longer at Arsenal?

            Obviously you don’t understand so i’ll make it easier for you, I like Gnabry but I support Arsenal.

      Agreed that Bayern is a good shout.

      Brighton, West Ham are also options. Hell perhaps Brentford or Palace would be willing to deal as well.

        I think he’s good enough to go to another big club, I can’t really see him taking too big a step down you know? Maybe Brighton/Brentford but they’re more of buy low sell high type of clubs. Its a strange one

      no way he’s been going on about havertz for three weeks straight, that’s approaching grounds for a restraining order.

      If that’s true there’s a fair few on this sub should have had one months ago!

    We will actually kill chelsea, with midweek games and overworked players, most have had 2 weeks off due to the international break, that mid table team isn’t ready for our fresh players

      And we’re about to take him to Stamford Bridge to put on a show.

      Arteta’s Arsenal could only exist in the best of all possible worlds.

      Nah it’s fake. Especially it being last seasons away kit. Just go to dhgate and buy a fake instead. Can hardly tell the difference.

      If Arteta’s feeling bullish, we could stroll up to the Bridge with a midfield of pure Chelsea disrespect: two players they sold to us and one they had lined up for years but failed to sign.

      I think they’re maybe a little too strong for that, but it would be hilarious.

        Yeah I want to go strong in midfield to counter Caceido, Enzo but would be very funny to have all the three of those players feature at some point int he game.

      Don’t think the quality of their press warrants it. Also, if Saka is fit, him and Jesus are decent options for going long despite their height.

    Neymar’s recent injury record is a warning to the team and pl refs what will happen if they continue to let Saka get kicked and hurt week in and week out without repercussions.

      I think it says more about Neymars professionalism and lifestyle.

      He was very much like Ronaldinho off the pitch.

      Of course being kicked around plays a part too but not the main imo.

        Nah come on man. Neymar had played 225 games for Santos before he was 21. That’s like 5/6 full seasons. Then allhe accomplished playing in Europe. I don’t think the lifestyle is the main reason here.

      Lol. Neymar and Saka are playing in the least ankle breaking period of football…. Watch any game from 15yr ago+ and compare.

      A few bruises on the ankle is nothing in comparison.

      It is also a potential warning regarding playing time. Neymar played over 10,000 minutes for Santos before he was 21 - Saka played over 13,000 minutes before the same age. Messi played 6,462 minutes before he turned 21, and Ronaldo played 8,125.

      Every player is different, and I don’t mean to imply causation or anything. It is striking to see the difference though.
