Congrats!! @poorlydrawnarsenal
Met on a dating app during the pandemic. He really beat the odds, they were meant to be together. Congratulations @poorlydrawnarsenal!
@ironeaglebird @Astrealix completely missed this. Thanks all!
This talk of Mbappe to Arsenal doesn’t make sense to me.
I know he’s a “once in a generation” talent but I just don’t see how he’d fit in with what the Gunners are building. He’s the right age profile, but I don’t see him in this team.
What am I missing?
I’ll tell you what you are missing… delusion, and lots of it. I just can’t see us competing on a financial level with other teams.
Don’t get me wrong, I would love for us to be a in a position where we could sign a player of his caliber, but we aren’t quite there yet.
Yeah and on top of that, I think its pretty illogical to think that we would spend 105m on Rice and then spend that large again on another player. It would be cool to be proven wrong but that seems like the major signing of the summer.
You are right. Rice is our big spend signing, and Kai + Timber are quality signings that won’t break the bank. They all fit our recent signings to a tee (young, talented, good character).
We realistically should be looking to get rid of players at this point, not spend more. It would be nice to offload Balogun, Pepe, Cedric, Sambi for decent fees to help us recoup some of the 200m we will spend this year.
I’ll genuinely be surprised if we sign anyone else this summer, unless like Partey or Tierney gets a move — and even then in the latter case we might not move into the market.
I don’t see Partey leaving. No one will pay us the fee we will demand , except the Saudis and he shot that down. I’m still worried though as his legal troubles lurk in the darkness.
I haven’t heard much about Tierney lately, so I’m curious what’s going on there. I’d like him to stay so we can have Timber play the inverted role on the right while Tierney bombs up and down the left.
It sounds like both Partey and Tierney may stay now. Especially with Timber coming in now, Tierney could get more starts.
We’ve never been the club to throw enormous salaries at players. It’s like Wenger said, “We don’t buy superstars, we make them.”
Wasn’t this Mbappe to Arsenal rumour started by the Turkish youtuber? Either way he’s got too much baggage to not be a distraction here, I’m more than happy with what we have
If you go after a player like Mbappe, you make the team work with him in it by hook or by crook. Wouldn’t worry as it isn’t happening!
@Astrealix what did Bukayo do to EA Sports to deserve this?

@tgtads @Astrealix I just realized this is supposed to be Leah 😩
(edit) oops, just noticed images posted from mastodon don’t show up on lemmy. “Leah” appears to the right of Sam Kerr on the full image.
Seems lemmy.world was hacked. . Might want to do a password change just in case.
Turner is on fire but those were some of the most dogshit penalties I’ve ever seen lmao.
And oh so that’s where Phil Neville ended up after he got fired from Miami…Canada.
