anyone have thoughts on the current recruitment strategy and seemingly running everything through to super-agents? I've been reading arseblog go on about it for a little bit now and they talked about it at length today. I know dealing with these agents is just a necessary evil at this point and it's better to have good relationships with them than none, but I do worry that Raul is letting them dictate players to us a bit rather than the club identifying the talent themselves.
Think it's fine to take on occasional shit if we hit with our big signings. Pepe just hasn't got going, Tierney is broken, and don't know what we have in Saliba yet. Cedric on moderate wages as a backup isn't going to move the needle either way.
Raul is a fraud and a coward and I hope he doesn’t set this team back too far during his time in charge. I also hope that I am 100% wrong in my assessment of Sanllehi.
Going to give it through next summer window and then some Glad we didn’t panic buy in winter window and mostly like long term deals we’ve done of late Assume league is long gone so maybe make a cup run to give this season some excitement
Raul a fraud seems extreme he’s caught between stingy Kroenke budget and dealing with these leech agents

has anyone ever returned anything to Arsenal Direct? my sister got me a hoodie but she got xl I guess as her way to tell me I’m fat, but it’s huge.
Got some snobby pajamas where the shirt is way too small but figure it's not even worth replacing Hate UK sizes, can never figure out what I am
Love him, but hell the fuck no. £400k/week for 20ish healthy games a season. Juve will have to subsidize 60% of his wages for anyone to show interest
I don’t get the interest in trying to relive the clubs past, however recent. Need to get more athletic and physical and too many injury problems as it is. Spoiler except for Santi, buy his ass right now
How weird was it when he was talking about how unique the Saliba deal was and he goes, “It wasn’t illegal or anything like that I don’t want the people to get the wrong impression.” I instantly thought we have an incoming transfer ban.
