Now one of Madrid rags 🗞️ says Rodrygo will leave RM If he does want to play LW, think that’s big. Hes got literally 2 best LWers in 🌍 at RM - Mbappe + Vini Obv perfect fit for Arsenal. But it will drag. We’d have to close it. Berta know 🇪🇸 + he’s done Joao Felix. Didn’t work, but similar deal.

I know the online community isn’t reality, but it’d be nice if Arsenal briefed journos a bit more what’s going on, like this Fans are frustrated due to last season + the last 2 windows News has been VERY quiet despite (surely) lots going on behind the scenes, re: Berta Hope we get something soon

Why would Barcelona, owner of the best front 3 in the world, want Luis Diaz of all people, who’s already 28? For that kind of price… Hopefully Diaz just stays at LFC as the reporting suggests as opposed to getting Saudi money

They gave him the 9 shirt?! I’ll say it again. Delap will play less than 2,000 min for Chelsea this year and they’ll likely sell him next summer for a profit. They don’t actually want him. Pure market opportunity with a cheap release clause for an England U21 international w/ Prem experience.

The other thing on random Karetsas to Arsenal rumor - PSG + Madrid are currently fighting over River Plate kid - Chelsea already got Quenda + Estevao Need to look at 💰involved in those deals for ref Ethan/Guler look to Karetsas Yamal shouldn’t even be grouped w/ these guys for obvious reasons

Some veryyy spurious rumors just 🌱 on the other place Karetsas to Arsenal w/ a loan back to Genk Few things: - He seems more Ethan class > Nypan (hence 💰 diff) - Fabio Vieira vibes, that punt was €35M. Few yrs later + market inflation = €45M (?) Highly doubt this happens but finally, some JUICE

Yeah, it’s June 4 + the vibes are not good 😅 Surely it’s a few things - - Rivals making moves - New sporting director - 0 credible links - Agitation about Jan, last summer - Last season, 3x 🥈 Arsenal are doing “things” but not in the public eye I’m at Stage 4 too, despite trying to keep calm!

I know what City are doing but it’s still annoying In a normal summer, they’d have Florian Wirtz wrapped - bigger fee + higher wages than LFC But with the 115 case STILL dragging on, they continue their Tier 2 player buying spree from Jan Clearly gearing up for transfer ban That €90M Alvarez 💰…

I 100% don’t think it will happen (bet we sell him) But in lieu of attacking midfield seemingly not on the summer agenda for Arsenal, I’d probably keep Fabio Vieira around He can spell Ødegaard in cup games, last 20 min, etc. I still think Nwaneri will see plenty of mins at RW next yr > R8

This really doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence No real links for Arsenal with wingers. Sane is fine if it’s him +1 - but that won’t happen. Nico Williams, give up, see new Bilbao contract reports. + I just don’t see Rodrygo leaving. Club must know we need the 9 + some other real FW…

Ugh. This one hurts. Mbeumo. 1) Perfect for United’s system 2) Would’ve been great for us But also, glad he’s not going to Newcastle, since that would be a REAL problem If you, like me, think Nwaneri is RW > R8, then we’re set there obv w/ Saka + Ethan Need that LW juice…

Don’t like agreeing w/ Troy Deeney out of principle, but I think he has a point re: Delap I’d be willing to bet Liam Delap gets less than 2,000 mins in all comps for Chelsea At United, he’d be first choice But neither would be my first choice for him. Idk where even would. Brentford? Villa? FFC?

For the “Arsenal should have bought Doue last summer” crowd Agree - but he was only ever going to PSG Also, steep fee for 18 yr old 🥛Glass 1/2 full - Desire Doue pretty similar in profile to Ethan Nwaneri. Sure, Doue a bit more exp. But he didn’t 💥 until Jan. Ethan could be similar next season

Cunha perfect for United in several ways - - L10 in the Amorim system = tailor made - Questionable character He’ll follow Bruno’s lead of pouting + will tick up their toxicity But will also probably score 15 ⚽️

Still no credible word from our guys on Sesko On the other place, guys acting like this is already a done deal for the Arsenal 🙄 Let’s let it play out

Amazing news re: big Gabi My thinking on Sesko + this underpins it - - We know Fab a tap-in merchant for Arsenal news. Unless he’s Berta’s best mate (unlikely) - Fab got in on Gabriel news quick - 2 hrs later + Sami Mokbel, Orn, Charles Watts, James have said 0. So likely Fab doesn’t have much.

1) Transfer news is civilized over here (nonexistent basically) 2) We’ll wait until our Tier 1s confirm - but maybe Fab + Berta a thing? 3) I love Sesko/Gyokeres - either is fine but more upside w/ Sesko One thing is clear - Berta is not going to want to miss on his 1st marquee move at Arsenal

Mbeumo is going to be a great signing for someone, unlikely to be us If Man United get him, he + Cunha are perfect for the Amorim system. The PL proven method. If Chelsea or Newcastle do, also perfect fits The irony - he plays the one FW position Arsenal don’t need Surely we’re prioritizing LW

I’ve intentionally taken a break from much of the Arsenal discourse over the last week, given results Knew it’d be an ugly week after the PSG loss in UCL + the trip to Anfield 🎙️ But the basic lack of knowledge by pundits continues to drive me crazy. On NBC broadcast, Le Saux mentioned our RH pod.

Arsenal's last loss against others from "big 6" in Premier League, City - 730 days Utd - 964 days Lpool - 1136 days Sp*rs - 1079 days Chelski - 1342 days

That's twice Liverpool have failed to beat an injury riddled Arsenal. Makes you think.

Let’s not forget that Declan Rice wasn’t in the matchday squad. Nor Gabriel Magalhaes and Kai Havertz. No Takehiro Tomiyasu or Gabriel Jesus, either. Liverpool were only missing Joe Gomez. And they rested last week.

PSG's low xG shots went in and Arsenal's high xG's didn't and I think that explains where we are at.

Jorginho has spent the entire first half on the touchline. I think he's pretending to be warming up (a couple of calf stretches here, a few lunges there) but he's really just coaching his #AFC team-mates.

Liverpool will decide to turn up for our game inevitably. Not that our league form is up to much.

This streak is now over, after Bournemouth The most worrying thing was a lack of effort in 2nd half, something we’ve literally never seen from this Arsenal side 🗞️ Glad Art called out the “casual” attitude - spot on. Arteta has got to get this sorted for PSG or it’s going to get ugly. Unlikely.

Right, bring on Wednesday. Another season with something huge to play for in the middle of May - that felt lightyears away just a few years ago. Let's have it.

There are so many mitigating circumstances, but really there's no excuse for how this league season has collapsed.

I think we expended all of our mental energy for Madrid, and were somewhat surprised that it wasn't more difficult for us. Now we're just... empty. Mentally, physically, emotionally, all tanks are empty, and this is what it looks like.

2 shots on target, 2 goals Including one off the elbow that wouldn’t have counted for us But we absolutely caved last 35 min, no less than we deserve We’ll be lucky to finish top 4 now What an absolute shocker (again)

Arguably we lost our way since we played Madrid. We have been nothing less than shocking.

We’ve completely completely lost our way since like 60 min, the Saka chance Arsenal have forgotten how to score late ⚽️ since we’ve had literally 0 all season so don’t expect that to change here Credit to Bournemouth, but this is worst case scenario for PSG. Guys look shattered. Misplacing passes.

In light of this kind of chat this week, that ⚽️ from the Arsenal is fitting Ødegaard w/ a great ball for Rice to finish, gets 🅰️ Dec literally dragging us through this 1st half. Doing the Saka role, actually - being the protagonist for 1st ⚽️ Øde still out of form, but nice for him to get that

🎥 I saw a 3 min YouTube comp of Bilal El Khannouss this morning Me: 😂 But seriously, I can see it. Basically a PL “proven” version of Fabio Vieira. If we’re not getting Nypan, similar profile for Arsenal + with LCFC relegation, 100% guarantee it’ll be less than €30M

I’ll take literally any of them back for PSG But just imagine if Havertz shows up on the Arsenal substitutes bench on Wed Supremely unlikely but don’t put it past Mikel “dark arts” Arteta Always trying to fool the media 😏

This was so great to see the other night - Arsene Wenger in the 🏟️ Especially the clip when he saw Stu Thought it would be a good omen for the Arsenal but wasn’t to be Crazy it’s only his 3rd time. 1️⃣ was the publicized one, 2️⃣ was his statue reveal. Would love to see more. Club would too.

Said it a few times this year, will say it again We have exactly ZERO late winners this season, in any comp It’s such a shame bc it’s been such a hallmark of the Arsenal rise the last 3 yrs. I get that these things revert to mean over time, but it started to feel inevitable last season. A habit.

There are a lot of things wrong with the 🌍 But right up there is this abomination Man United + Sp*rs - owners of these absolutely dismal seasons - likely the worst in their history Will be playing for the Europa League 🏆 + be gifted a spot in the Champions League + the 💰 that comes with it…

My most controversial opinion is that Martin Ødegaard is a really good player who is having a down year

I see Fergie’s boys still doing excellent commentary Also, if you recall, both Chelsea and Arsenal were desperate to sign him that same window But Raphinha is 🇧🇷 + it’s Barcelona So, ya know, Barcelona > Leeds/London, makes sense…

Wow, wild match. Arteta would absolutely lose his mind with a 3-3 in literally any context. Imagine if that had happened yesterday! He + Arsenal much more comfortable with a narrow 1-0 and planning around that sort of comeback. I think a 3-3 would honestly break his brain.

I’d be absolutely beside myself if we went up 2-0 and gave it up before HT Sure, Inter a bit fortunate to get the ⚽️⚽️ but man, what a missed opportunity This “best defense in Europe” has been creaking for a few weeks. Barcelona will put a few more past. Inter’s form fallen off a cliff recently

If only the Merino ⚽️ was onside Or the Leo finish. Or the Gabi one. That’s the first Arsenal UCL home loss since like 2016 (unbeaten last year and this) Chalk up another to failing to score. We literally don’t lose when we score at least ONCE. Missed chances but still in the tie.

What chaps my ass is that with even just Havertz back, and none of Jesus, Calafiori, Gabriel, Tomi, we probably win that match.

Yeah, Mikel always says, the key in Europe is to take your chances We’ll rue both of them. Arsenal had the chances. Merino ⚽️ offsides sucks. Could have changed the whole 2nd half. Grew into the game. Thankfully kept it to 1 for PSG. We can absolutely do this next week, but missed opportunity.

Mikel is probably unhinged and losing his voice.

Myles that was superb 😭

Yes, it took us precisely that amount of time to settle in Arsenal grew into the half. The Saka “foul” criminal, Martinelli had a similar angle as he had in Madrid. V close. Unlucky on the incredible Joao Neves tackle on Merino. Chances are there. But we have to take one. PSG do terrify me…

The reaction from Saka to his yellow was the angriest (justifiably) I've ever seen him. Here's hoping that's rocket fuel for him in the second half.

🏟️ I’ve watched this video from the Madrid game at the Ems like 100x Brilliant from the Arsenal account. Just so, so good. Hope to see it again tonight v PSG 💪🏼 Bring your fucking dinner
