So, anyone want to spend 100mil on Alvarez now?

I?d rather take a punt on Mitoma. Great little player to interchange with Martinelli. Wouldn?t cost a fortune either

I don't really watch opponents, but he's one I've noticed. Like Easy was before he signed.

So long as it was in addition to a superstar / young player. Mitoma is 30... hardly going to make a big and/or long term difference to us.

He's a bit lightweight. Not sure I'd want him.

With all due respect to him, I think we need to aim higher. Imagine Gyok/Havertz between Saka and an equivalent. We need one very good left sided attacking player.

And a defender, with MLS a midfielder now.

With Rice playing DM Zubi is 2nd choice or he plays as a sort of 8. With Merino, MLS, Eze and Ode midfield is set unless Arteta decides to sell Ode or Eze, which would surprise me.

Fair enough. Let's whip PSG in the final and nick the Georgian lad

Dunno, P. Georgians are complete lunatics, homicidal maniacs to a man.

The only two Georgians anyone has ever heard of are Medea, who murdered her children and escaped in a chariot pulled by dragons, and Joseph Stalin, who murdered everyone else's children and stayed where he was. As the man said.

Fine people, nonetheless. I do worry about dressing room harmony though, with all that sort of thing going on.

[Pat Vegas]

This. Just this.

Kai to start vs the Hammers to give Vik a bit of a breather?

let Havertz have a rest. sub if needed.

Where is all this money coming from

There was Kinkladze. He didnt murder anybody, except maybe for pace

Was just watching the news and apparently we are now the richest club in the country. Even more so if we actually win something......

Winning the final and entering the fifa club world cup would make us around 130 million, apparently

We're doomed.

That's the trouble with so called sporting directors; just sit around drinking espresso all day and playing FIFA, think they know all about football. I was like that when my sons were small.

And that Berta fellow is precisely the sort to have every goalshy hundred-million pound superstar centre-forward in Europe on speed-dial

Berta had a right go at Simeone last night at the end. Good lad

But yes, he does strike you as the sort who likes a big signing. We dont want any of that nonsense at the Arsenal

Excellent. I saw that.

My question is, why is a sporting director on the touchline during a match; I don't know where they got it from and I don't like it. But if the answer is, to slap Simeone's face, then fair enough, imo. Well done, Andrea.

I guess he knows him better than anyone. If he felt he needed to be there, good on him. He can afford a red card
