Looks like Julian Alvarez could be on the move. Wish we could have signed him. He'd definitely hit the ground running and would be an excellent addition to the squad.
1.) 24 Jan 2026 08:18:38
He'd certainly make an excellent addition to our current squad, Sharpe, if he were to be interested of course.
2.) 24 Jan 2026 11:37:15
Lads lots of talk we are negotiating for him.
3.) 24 Jan 2026 14:33:06
Ornstein said we were interested in the summer.
25 Aug 2025 13:48:24
From David Ornstein:
Arsenal working to sign Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen - subject to player exits. 23yo defender told #Bayer04 of wish to leave + prioritising #AFC above others. Efforts ongoing to make fee more realistic than €60m clause
Not sure why we need another defender. Romano saying Toots are in for him.
1.) 25 Aug 2025 17:04:50
Guess he’s a replacement for Kiwior and once Kiwior and Zinchenko are sold we have 7 defenders- Hincapie makes 8 and can cover LB and CB. No idea if he’s any good - seen him mentioned across the sites but if he’s an upgrade then ? . Maybe Saka not missing many games hopefully maybe waiting for Jesus to cover come October time. Just hope Victor stays fit - seems risky - one Hincapie=1 Watkins but need two defenders in each position I guess COYG.
2.) 25 Aug 2025 17:23:21
?? some on the pool page wondering why with ( once Kiwior and Zion go ) seven defenders we need another defender while they have NINE and looking to buy Guehi! Why let the facts get in the way of a good post COYG Ed01 seems to rate him too, good enough for me.
3.) 25 Aug 2025 20:53:49
It's probably a replacement for Kiwior as you say, mate. An expensive replacement for someone we'll only likely get 20-25 million for.
4.) 29 Aug 2025 05:58:36
Context is important Sussex. You're counting defenders as a whole whereas we're looking at CBs. We have four at for two positions with one looking to leave whereas you all already have 6 CBs and are looking to add one more. Maybe it is Arteta's ultimate game plan to fill his entire starting 11 with them eh? He's already more than halfway there ;)
5.) 29 Aug 2025 10:20:42
Who are these 6 CBs we have Dracered? Talk about intentionally taking things out of context!
6.) 30 Aug 2025 10:39:18
White, Mosquera, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori, Timber. That's six right there.
And before you say that White, Calafiori, and Timber aren't CBs since they play as RBs/ LBs for you, I would just like to add that they were primarily playing as CBs in the previous clubs before they moved to Arsenal. Similar to how Hincapie is playing as a CB now for Leverkusen.
7.) 01 Sep 2025 01:48:25
So by your own admission three of them have formerly played at CB, thus your chat is abysmal. Saka is a LB coming next?
22 Aug 2025 17:40:03
Anyone know if there's any truth to the rumour that Arsenal are looking to bring in Malick Fofana?
1.) 22 Aug 2025 18:17:07
I can comfirm mate I've never heard of him
How are you buddy?
20 Aug 2025 21:37:36
From Fabrizio Romano:
Crystal Palace accept tonight £60m package from Arsenal for Eberechi Eze, agreement club to club done.
Arsenal finalising contract terms with Eze with player keen on joining #AFC project.
1.) 21 Aug 2025 07:25:17
I can't wait to see him. play for us I'm. a big eze fan.
24 May 2025 11:06:54
Talk going around that Nwaneri isn't signing a new contract. That will be a huge disappointment because the kid showed a lot of promise.
1.) 24 May 2025 14:43:20
That will be a very bad situation, us mates were discussing if we get another winger and Martinelli and Trossard stay, then it will greatly limit Nwaneri’s game time so should he be sent on loan? He should be developed as Odegard’s successor and rotate with him if he doesn’t go on loan.
{Ed014's Note - Max Dowman is waiting in the wings.
2.) 25 May 2025 07:21:09
14, you reckon Dowman is a better prospect than Nwaneri? I've never seen him play so don't know much about him.
{Ed014's Note - to be honest he looks like he is but at only 15 it’s difficult to know and I’m not a fan of putting undue pressure on youngsters.
It’s not that I don’t think Nwaneri will be class, he really needs a good run and I wouldn’t want to lose him for sure.
3.) 25 May 2025 22:51:25
I'm surprised to hear we're extending Trossards contract, two back up LWs? .
Nwanieri has bags of potential and he'll know he's good enough to play but rightly doesn't fancy his chances of taking Ode or Saka's positions. You'd very much hope we'd send on loan or at the very least include a buy back, but this PSR nonsense has really been financially motivating teams to sell off all their academy talent.
I hope he stays.
4.) 26 May 2025 02:51:36
Are there genuine rumours or is it all coming from Ben White saying that it's unfortunate Nwaneri has Saka and Odegaard ahead of him? He's still a kid and he'll get a lot of games. Saka needs a rest from time to time and Odegaard has not been untouchable this season.
Agree that Dowman looks unbelievable though. Long term surely we want to be starting both if they progress like they have been?
5.) 26 May 2025 17:41:40
Have a look at Dowmans reels on Youtube, kid is a phenom.
6.) 26 May 2025 20:45:28
Scored a beauty for England under 17s against Czechia.
{Ed014's Note - he’s a gem mate, got to hold on to him!
7.) 26 May 2025 20:50:35
Think that's why Arteta is pulling him into the squad at such a young age mate and deffo.
{Ed014's Note - fingers crossed mate, hopefully get some minutes next season in the cup games.

I can read a room so I won't rub my new #NoEnglandLet'sParty hashtag in just yet. I feel it may be too soon.
Hope everyone is having a most excellent summer - even those that enjoy a summer all year round (Ed001) .
I've been looking at highlights of Manu Kone of Roma. Lad looks very skilled. Wouldn't mind seeing him in an Arsenal shirt. Thoughts fellow Gooners?
{Ed001's Note - cheers Sharpie! I am just looking forward to proper footie returning.}
1.) 16 Jul 2026 08:34:26
It's been a poor WC. Just haven't felt it this time around to be honest. Hope you're well, mate.
{Ed001's Note - I have only watched a couple of games.}
2.) 16 Jul 2026 09:01:57
Very poor game management from us yesterday, Someday the boys will turn into men! Like Arsenal, England's time will come.
Sharpie, there were talks about Kone, but I thought he was totally dominated by Rodri and Ruiz in the midfield, not sure he can cope in the PL.
3.) 16 Jul 2026 17:15:37
I reckon Tuchel panicked Bill. I've never seen so many squeezed into the box with nowhere to go so early in a game. I wonder if he has lost the dressing room with that decision?
4.) 16 Jul 2026 21:24:14
You could be right there, Sally.
Anthony Gordon's face when he was being substituted told a story.
6 defenders on the pitch, 4 of them centre halves, and Eze and Saka, players who can actually keep the ball, sitting on the bench.
?♂️ ?♂️ ?♂️ ?♂️

That was definitely not the best second half of football for us. Getting dominated at home like that by what is, this season, a poor Liverpool side, is shocking. I'm not sure why we've played two games against them this season in similar fashion. Toothless.
{Ed025's Note - it was bloody awful to watch Sharpey, Liverpool were actually the better side mate, if they made a film about that match it would be called...ARSENAL SHAT THEIR PANTS, it bored me to tears..
1.) 08 Jan 2026 23:21:23
I think we were definitely the better side in the first half. We absolutely didn't turn up for the second half. Extremely disappointed with the result. Some fans will want to look on the bright side and be happy with the point taken from this game. I'm not one of those fans.
2.) 08 Jan 2026 23:59:14
Bruce Willis wants to play Arteta in his next film - Draw Hard
Managed to make a crap Liverpool team look half decent while we were time wasting for the last 45 minutes showing zero ambition in a toothless bottle job of a game. Another terrible point against a top 6 team. Like most bullies we lacked balls, heart and ambition. Hang your head in shame Arteta and our cowardly captain Ode who could not play more cowardly passes if he tried. Looks like Viktor has zero clue or desire to score.
Onwards and upwards - still top and still not hit any form yet. That’s a positive if we start to perform. Need to grow a set ready for a few away games as we will need that gap when the pressure really is on ?
On another positive - Great first half from Saka and especially Rice. Rice was everywhere - My captain.
Viktor was goddam awful.
3.) 09 Jan 2026 09:31:39
Victor is a championship striker people have to wake up and stop defending him!
05 Jan 2026 10:31:20
Well, that sacking didn't take long. Brought it on himself though, I feel.
Is this what managers are doing now to get sacked and still pickup their wage? This feels oddly similar to how Maresca got sacked.
Ed001, any thoughts on this?
{Ed001's Note - 100% a resignation letter in public by both. Maresca had been looking for the exit door for a while.}
27 Dec 2025 15:55:07
Ed001, Ed007, Ed033, Ed025, and 14. Hope you lot had a great Christmas. Ed025, hope yours was lemony.
To all posters, hope everyone had a brilliant Christmas.
{Ed025's Note - cheers Sharpey same to you my friend, after watching us against Burnley today it was very Lemony mate, we have Beto and Barry who are absolutely prize lemons, as its Christmas i wont mention the king of Lemons out of respect.. :)
1.) 27 Dec 2025 20:31:06
I do feel a couple of other teams have landed more lemony lemons in the last transfer than our lemon. Our lemon is the least lemony lemon by a country mile, mate.
{Ed025's Note - things can change very quickly in Lemonville Sharpey, your one may not be the yellowest of citrus fruits in the end but at the moment he is right up there mate..
2.) 27 Dec 2025 21:35:28
All I can say is, he's not the Wirst. There's also a Slovenian lemon doing the rounds.
06 Dec 2025 17:28:12
Didn't deserve anything from that game, we were that poor. Villa were well worth the 3 points.
1.) 07 Dec 2025 19:06:17
You know what mate, I was expecting that result for some reason and I'm not too sure why. Fair play to villa they wanted more then us. But the revenge just at the end of this month hopefully.
20 Jul 2026 06:07:38
I can confirm. He's as dodgy as he sounds.
{Ed001's Note - you have to wonder how he managed to convince Everton that he was a professional footballer. It is up there with Ali Dia as a con this one.}
05 Jan 2026 10:41:26
Is your sauce good?
25 Aug 2025 20:53:49
It's probably a replacement for Kiwior as you say, mate. An expensive replacement for someone we'll only likely get 20-25 million for.
17 Jun 2025 18:42:05
Mal, you've definitely been drowning in the black stuff.
16 Jun 2025 08:44:22
SY, I wasn't here when it happened, but I heard he went more boy racist than boy racer, and he got the boot.
24 Jul 2026 19:13:04
Who is this Stoner chap? Mal? Do we even know him?
Honestly though, not sure we were in for Rogers, and I haven't seen enough of Barcola to comment. I will, however, say that I'm hoping for some magic from Berti. Don't even mean that he should go out and sign established stars for gazillions, but an unknown, or two, that are going to set the Prem alight would be nice.
We do have a few positions to fill, so hopefully we get some decent business done this season.
16 Jul 2026 08:31:13
There are players from other teams in the squad, Ed025. Just thought you might need a gentle reminder. ?
{Ed025's Note - i know that Sharpey and a lot of them have also felt my wrath mate, as i said i think the Arsenal lads were burnt out and that goes for the ones representing other countries as well..
16 Jul 2026 08:34:26
It's been a poor WC. Just haven't felt it this time around to be honest. Hope you're well, mate.

14 would pay 5 McDonald burgers for him, and still feel ripped off.
30 May 2026 07:26:24
I knew this reminded me of something, and Football Manager it is!
