Apparently holding out for 40m EUR from Inter for Xhaka :clap:
Don’t mess them around imo...30m EUR is fine by me.
...Kolasinac to Barcelona :hehe: :hehe:Quote:

You know most people don’t like the idea of a cull but these prices are far too tempting imo
Might be the best time for a clear out.
Guess the kicker is the money we’ll lose on Ozil but that’s fair enough...should balance out.
Can we do a double deal with vegan gains Bellend?
The start of #projectyouthAFC or some other hashtag - sales and Freddie coming up :cloud9:Quote:

They had a pretty good go at your list though. Good effort from Raul and co imo. Does feel like the squad has had a proper clear out and overhaul. Shame about the whole Mustafi/Luiz thing though. Neither of them should be here really.Quote:

I feel a bit for Areta...the side is so much more balanced now and some players are improving because of it ie Xhaka has another solid game.
But man...there’s some dog sh*t players still here.
It’s not perfect and he still has to tweak some positions and work with other players but he’s being held up but fkin morons at the back.
At what’s worse is they’re being rewarded with new contracts.
Kolasinac needs to leave - we got him for nothing and I’m for him to leave for nothing as well...
Luiz - why even give him a new contract...why?
Mustafi - playing better so time to cash in and get rid
It’s like he wants to punish himself or something.
He’s bringing on himself...the defence will let him down again next season and it will be all his fault for rewarding them.

I thank you...
The other week highlighted how badly they got this wrong.
No Right Back
Xhaka at left back
2 Chelsea rejects in Luiz and Willian
2 loans who won’t stay in Syllabus and Odegaard
And a guy still recovering from Malaria up front
Ffs
I’d sell Leno, but back Emi and get a couple players like Trippier and Dunk for experience as it will be mostly the kids next season.
Wouldn’t mind a 442 with both Martinelli and Balogun up front too.
I am actually more angry today than I was last night.Quote:

We need to stop this loan nonsense too.Quote:

Ceballos played 3 decent games in 2 seasons.
Odegaard. played well once and the fans had a orgasm
mostly injury prone too. might as well get Kim Kallstrom back
At a time when my affinity with the club and its owners and players is at an all time low...Quote:

I'd still get rid off one of Laca or Auba too. Two of our better players but they just can't play together, two similar in style. Laca has changed his game and become some what of a hold up man and is doing ok at it but it seems a waste to me. This was another one of Wenger's last big feck ups. Getting rid of Giroud who would have been perfect next to either and being stuck basically with two stickers who like to get in behind playing of a big man or creative forward.
Team Next year.

One of Salbia or Mavropanvos to be given the 4th choice cb position and hopefully pushing on to a starter. For a new manager to come in he has a easy job to do. Even without signing anybody this current squad should have been top 4. And it would have been but for dreadful management throughout the season. It all started to go to shiiiit when he needlessly bootied out Torriea/Guendouzi last year. Two of the best perfromers from the previous year.
I think it’s cool that even though opinions vary on the exact on / off field strategy to take the club forward we’re all in agreement that there’s a group of non playing and playing staff who need to F off and it’s unified the fans.
And a quick mention to Leno.
I fear he might be looked upon as a snake for jumping ship and tarnished like Nasri and Van Persie.
But it’s asking a lot for him to stay.
If a CL club comes in for him then I’m totally fine with him wanting to go. No hard feelings.
My take...
https://ibb.co/QvWY1zF
I'm not convinced he's much better than Ospina tbh. The main attribute he came here with was his so called elite level of playing it out from the back. Maybe he was a big shot at playing it out around Norwegian pig farmers in the German league but i've never been impressed with him doing it here. They'll be debating for some time about wether we should have sold Martiniez or him last summer. But one thing is for sure, Martiniez ability at playing it out from the back was light years ahead of him, they're not close ability wise.Quote:

Thinks all their boxes...
No10
Star player in their eyes but really completely washed up
Ex Chelsea
Real / Zidane would be satisfied with a loan....as long as he f offs.
Grim
Back to business…
Why isn’t Xhaka gone as yet and why is Bellend still here? Guendouzi went for peanuts…
Can see why they got Tavares, quite pleased if Ben White happens…don’t know anything about Sambi Lokonga :shrug:
Still gutted about Martinez but when you think about it…he’s the No1 for Argentina now so you’re losing him for every World Cup qualifier / international now. Can’t be good every international break flying all the way to South America and back.
Will take its toll on him and Villa.
Roll on Hibs tomorrow :nod:
