    So the rumours of Arsene holding a grudge are true. No Cesc or Robin at this lunch event even though both could easily make it to London.

      I mean, the grudge was obvious enough when Cesc couldn’t come back and went to Chelsea instead. RvP can go fuck right off, man went direct to Man U. I don’t blame Cesc cuz Barcelona was literally his dream and he’d been asked to go by all his childhood friends, but RvP…

        Well, Wenger could always argue that was for footballing reasons since he had so many playmaker already in his team.

    How much smoke does Barca have up their ass that they actually think they have a shot at Caicedo? They’re begging players to give up bonuses and they think they can spend 120m euros on one player?

    Got into an argument with a guy on Twitter who said we have the most outdated training ground in the league. I went back and forth and sent him a few videos showing that we basically have a training ground that’s better than most with the exception of clubs that went through significant rebuilds in the last five years or so. Then he blocked me. Lol.

    Oooh love the drawing!

    So had jury duty today, went in, gave us the whole speech about how we’re gonna be there until 5, collected all our juror ballots and questionnaires and allowed whoever has an excuse not to serve make their case, shows us the mandatory video…then the very funny court police comes out and says, guess what guys, so while we were entering your paperwork the judge’s office called…they aren’t going to be using a jury and you guys were all free to go! This was 10:20am.

    I am so glad not to go through selection and be done for 6 years.

      I’ve been called for jury duty twice. Once was literally the day before I moved out of state. The other I called the night before and they said they didn’t need me. I’m worried I don’t have the attention span to focus on a case.

    I find it funny that people on twatter were against getting a striker during the transfer window. Despite my reservations for AFTV folks, Troopz was correct that we need a striker. He specifically pointed out that Jesus is injury prone. Patrik Schick is my top candidate.

      We have Trossard and Nketiah, and unless we sell Balogun is also an option. Not to mention Havertz in a pinch. We’re fine. Unless you think we can get someone better than Nketiah who’s willing to be a backup lol

          He was injured at the World Cup and now he’s injured again. There is a pattern developing here. When he comes back, he needs to stay healthy for the rest of the season or we’re not going to cut it in the UCL with the likes of Nketiah and Balogun. A false 9 with Trossard or Havertz can only take you so far.

              What am I missing here? I never said it wasn’t the same injury. He’ll be back and playing in 3-6 weeks but it is still a sign that he could possibly aggravate his knee during common play. I don’t recollect him getting seriously tackled besides the nasty one from Araujo. It is definitely a risk and I don’t see Nketiah as a hedge.

            Literally only City have a better backup striker than Nketiah lol. (depends on how you rate Ansu Fati ig, but he’s so injury prone yet full of potential that it’s hard to judge)

              apparently inter just signed Thuram so that, but besides that looking based on Transfermarkt at least, the only clubs that have values quite at this level for strikers is City with Alvarez, Richarlison who’s about to not be a backup and is also terrible in terms of form, Nico Jackson cuz Lukaku is still on the books, and Moukoko being literally 18, therefore having an inflated (ish) transfer value. And Balogun is marked as worth more than Moukoko / Haller if he stays anyway.

              Obviously transfermarkt isn’t a good judge, but considering the only two clubs that have better pairs of strikers who are going to stay are Manchester City, who are literally the best team in the world and have been for the better part of the decade, and got lucky with Julian Alvarez and have infinite oil money to keep Haaland, and Inter Milan, who play 2 strikers, we’re doing pretty alright.

                I think long term having a better striker is probably at this point one of the few places for potential improvement, but I think that the kind of money you would need for one like that is simply not going to happen when we just spent 100m on Rice. You either do what City did by getting a super good young prospect from South America, or you spend levels of money we simply can’t afford right now. There are very few strikers that would fit our system and be better than Jesus anyway. (Or Nketiah, for that matter — there are certainly some out there, but for what cost?)

                That being said, a cheeky Campbell 2.0 if Bayern can’t seal the Kane deal? Absolutely would love that. But that would take another year cuz Levy would never sell to us lol.

      I don’t think we will because Brentford won’t want to set a precedent. But I don’t think it’ll be much more. I think maybe 25 rising to 30 or flat 30m.
