    Sure others will disagree but we haven't had many divers at all during my time as a fan. I greatly enjoyed Xhaka's antics pissing off that cunt fanbase.

    So Auba gets 300k per week, Willian gets 3 years at more than 120k, and we get a ‘what’s to happen with Ozil’ article in the athletic.

    Insert Larry David gif

    guess silver lining is that Arteta wants Willian

    I thought about this before going to sleep last night and couldn’t think of any

    I’m not being hyperbolic when I say Arteta giving our scarecrow Xhaka his brain can be truly transformational to our midfield

    1. Lol if we best Napoli to another signing
    2. Gabriel/Saliba is a dream duo
    3. We reallllllly need to sell a CB. I’m guessing it’s Holding
    4. CB highlight videos suck

    God damn Gabriel is the best signing we could've made at CB, if this comes through.

    I saw him linked to United and Everton as well. that would be a huge signing.

    The Gunners have moved more towards agent-led recruitment strategies in recent seasons, a likely reason behind the restructuring of their senior scouting set up.

    This seems like an extremely volatile approach. It’s not like we’ll invest the money necessary to simply just handle the high value players that agents use to try to pilfer us.

    Really aggravating and confusing when financial self sufficiency is the stated goal but then we shift away from acquiring cost effective young players

    how could someone hear “agent-led recruitment strategy” and think it sounds like a good idea?

    Signing both to play LW made no sense.

    Going to be fascinating to see if Laca stays or goes this summer

    Good if it has to be one of them that it’s Willian

    I’d assume far less salary burden and far fewer expectations

    Coutinho is more the type of player this team needs imo.

    that’s assuming he actually wants to play.
