Didn't see Jesus to Barcelona coming. Looks to be happening for £10m!
1.) 30 Aug 2026 15:54:35
Think it may actually be EUR10m, Sally. At that paltry sum, Berta is clearly in "offer me anything just to get his wages off the books" mode.
Fabio Vieira to Hamburg for EUR5m incoming.
2.) 30 Aug 2026 15:57:57
Possibly leaving the path clear for Rashford to Arsenal Sally. ?
Just putting 7 and 8 together and probably coming up with 0. ???
3.) 30 Aug 2026 16:00:40
Makes sense, really, dk. Jesus's services are hardly in high demand.
4.) 30 Aug 2026 16:58:07
I think he will do ok in Spain. He's still a good footballer.
Although it's not a good amount, I believe it's best for both parties.
The next couple of days will be interesting. lol
{Ed014's Note - I’m not bothered about the fee, just get these last few moved on and wages saved to make better signings.
We’re not short of a bob or two Sally.
5.) 30 Aug 2026 17:07:34
I get the feeling that there will be no more incomings. Just my opinion. If there was a surprise acquisition, I think we would have got wind of it by now.
{Ed014's Note - agreed Bill, would be a major surprise if we brought anyone else in.
I’m not bothered either way.
6.) 30 Aug 2026 17:51:10
We are the masters of secret negotiations, Bill, and very often our signings only make the tabloids once they are done and dusted.
I'm good if we make more additions, and equally good if we don't. We are hardly struggling as we are. ?
7.) 30 Aug 2026 18:05:40
Ni John, mate. Will be quite happy to go with what we got.
8.) 31 Aug 2026 12:25:44
We can't lose Martinelli & Trossard without replacement, if nothing else, just to stand still.
19 Aug 2026 15:03:34
Looks like we've got Konsa, well according to Here We Go.
1.) 19 Aug 2026 20:16:41
Absolutely brilliant signing Sally imo.
Covering all the bases.
04 Aug 2026 19:26:45
Just seen Nwaneri might be leaving. He seems to need a challenge but I've read reports from the manager of his loan club publicly stating he needed to do more. Hope it works out for him though.
.
Anyway, if true, it seems we couke insert a buy back clause, that seems like a pretty good idea!
1.) 05 Aug 2026 09:05:05
I think so too, Sally. My feeling is that Nwaneri has coasted a little since he broke through, and a permanent deal would be good for him. Buyback clause seems like the best of both worlds, as it puts the pressure on him to excel, and I think he may need that pressure to develop.
2.) 05 Aug 2026 09:25:00
He hasn't pushed on, but there is a player there. Perhaps a prem loan, say Everton or Palace, would be better than the south of France. COYG.
3.) 05 Aug 2026 09:29:02
*Still very young.
24 Jul 2026 09:49:17
As it seems we are serious about Alvarez, would a loan with an option to buy work for him? It would give his family a chance to live in London for a while as I understand Manchester wasn't appealing to them.
1.) 24 Jul 2026 13:45:24
I've never liked these arrangements, and I don't think they work for the player either. It never leaves them settled unless it's clear the intent - like with Raya and Hincapie, it was clear. Players like Sancho and Barkley get horse-traded around, and it never works for anyone. imo, if we get Alvarez, it should be a straight purchase.
2.) 24 Jul 2026 22:49:33
Why would Atletico loan a player (that they don't want to sell) and wait a year to get the over EUR150m? How are they gonna replace him if they don't get the money up front?
3.) 25 Jul 2026 08:50:48
Naively, I was only looking at it from the player's perspective. Thanks for the comments, guys. ?
4.) 27 Jul 2026 23:14:33
Unfortunately they are trading cards, Sally - bought, sold, dropped and discarded when it suits. Players also treat clubs poorly, with agents hungry for fees.
Stay lovely. ?
08 Jul 2026 12:21:00
Looks like we are about to sign Meslier from Leeds as backup for Raya. That cane from nowhere lol.
1.) 08 Jul 2026 22:32:23
Hi Sally, most of our signings do seem to come out of nowhere. ?
2.) 09 Jul 2026 07:45:25
They do indeed, g62. I think it shows the Arsenal run a tight ship, and you can usually ignore the media b*******, as speculation or drumming up interest by agents.
{Ed001's Note - it has been all over the Leeds site for weeks.}
3.) 10 Jul 2026 00:45:14
Pretty sure I've seen it in the rags for a week or two.

Looks like we have Arteta for a while, hope everyone is happy?
? ⚽️.
1.) 07 Oct 2026 16:46:12
I'm. Over the moon sslly
Now let's give Leeds a smashing.
2.) 07 Oct 2026 20:08:38
Excellent news Sally, a well earned and much deserved new contract ?.
3.) 07 Oct 2026 20:16:26
Excellent news! Think how toxic it was on here latter Wenger and Emery tenure and how engaged we are now. And how very average that FA Cup winning squad were (Auba and Saka aside) .He's also got Sy on his case making sure he keeps on it. Top signing COYG.
4.) 07 Oct 2026 21:09:28
The squad strength hasn't been this good for 20 years Cornwall, and neither has the work rate, commitment, passion while the atmosphere in the stadium is at a level never known before.
Arteta has done an amazing job on and off the pitch mate.
29 Sep 2026 17:25:27
Just reading the FA statement on the City debacle and it intimates that the books were fiddled by 900million!
I have no words. (well apart from those written above lol)
1.) 29 Sep 2026 17:57:05
Hello Sally, my son in law sent it to me earlier and it's unf -gbelievable.
The arrogance is of the scale.
Hope everything and everyone is good for you Sally.
2.) 29 Sep 2026 18:03:15
All good thanks Bill, hope the same with you and yours ?.
3.) 29 Sep 2026 19:12:46
Yet we will wait another 8 years for justice.
4.) 29 Sep 2026 20:30:08
Will ex captains of clubs be formerly presented with the trophies city are stripped of, and will ex managers and players be invited to ride on open topped buses in retrospective victory parades.
Lots to ponder on ????.
5.) 29 Sep 2026 21:13:17
Sorry that should been formally presented with not formerly presented with, although ?.
6.) 29 Sep 2026 21:25:06
I liked what Rooney said and that's how it should be, giving the title to team who finished second doesn't feel right. I think trophies should be taken from the club but put a void in the winner's name for that season, players can keep their medals as they worked their socks off on the field and assumption is that they didn't know what was happening above them.
Reading through various articles today, relegation is not off the table, will get very interesting by Christmas!
7.) 29 Sep 2026 21:57:31
That all sounds very sensible to me Highbury mate.
I believe the offences span over a 10 year period so perhaps the punishment should span the same period. Maybe a 20 point deduction at the start of each season for the next 10 years regardless of whatever league city may find themselves in during each of those 10 seasons.
The reality no one can go back and stop the past from taking place so any retrospective punishment is purely symbolic or vengeful, and only punishment that affects the future would serve any meaningful purpose.
8.) 29 Sep 2026 23:40:56
Question - if an Olympic gold medal winner fails a drug test. What happens??
Medal removed
Silver gets Gold medal
Why is football different? Seriously - those teams were cheated a medal and their moment. Footballers live for medals - why cheat them if their moment & medal
Relegate City and strip them of their history they don't deserve - it's not the players fault BUT players were there who shouldn't have been there & did some get paid by "other" companies?
Why should football be different to athletics.
9.) 30 Sep 2026 00:11:02
Relegate then - future sorted
Strip titles - make the teams that missed out whole
It's not vengeful it's levelling the field and giving those who were cheated their medal
62 - surely you see that?
10.) 30 Sep 2026 00:33:14
You also have 2018 to currrnt day as I'm sure more years will be the same .
11.) 30 Sep 2026 01:02:52
More than a relegation, I want imprisonment for fraud.
12.) 30 Sep 2026 10:34:48
SY mate, I think there's a difference between olympics and this case. At Olympics, the he individuals enhance their performance and gain advantage over other athletes, here the players aren't guilty of anything. Yes, the club cheated and enhanced their chances of winning by buying players they shouldn't have been able to so the club should be punished.
In all this, I am baffled as to how it went unnoticed over so many years when we have all sorts of internal and external auditors and governing bodies.
13.) 30 Sep 2026 11:29:22
But without the money, some wouldn't be there & the team would have been weaker. Why not look at the players who did nothing wrong & wrongly came 2nd. What if in the 4 by 4 one person tests positive?? They all return the medals. The club won while on financial steroids. Why aren't we more fussed about law abiding clubs.
14.) 30 Sep 2026 14:02:57
It's very murky and depends on individual perspective and that's what will also play in what punishment is given out. We can only wait and watch.
15.) 30 Sep 2026 18:29:56
The prime minister seems to think it would be a shame if city's owners were to sell up. Imagine being rich enough that money laundering and fraud won't even get you a slap on the wrist.
16.) 30 Sep 2026 19:46:30
Its not at all uncommon for very rich and very powerful people and organisations to think of themselves as being untouchable SW.
Celebrities, business people, politicians, political parties, football clubs, football players and members of the Royal family have all made headlines in very recent years for their atrocious behaviour which they didn't believe would ever be exposed. If we going to expose and bring to justice all people guilty of abuse of power and privilege, then tto borrow from the Jaws movie
" we're going to need bigger prisons, and lots of them ".
17.) 30 Sep 2026 19:43:08
It's Labour for you.
25 Sep 2026 15:46:31
Ornstein - City guilty on all charges!
1.) 25 Sep 2026 15:53:40
Now we wait another 10 years while they appeal Sally.
2.) 25 Sep 2026 16:49:32
Spot on sadly Bill. Money talks ?.
3.) 25 Sep 2026 16:31:44
Exactly, it took this long to reach a verdict, who knows how long to dish out the punishment?
Still early developments but does any if the Eds know what could this mean to City and rest of the league?
{Ed001's Note - no mate, sorry.
4.) 25 Sep 2026 19:21:54
I think it will be a few points deduction and large financial penalty. City are too big to relegate them to third or lower tier.
I can finally see why we have a three week break from club football immediately after a long international tournament, people need time to absorb the shock ?.
5.) 25 Sep 2026 21:03:22
What would it to pacify those angered by City's rule breaking and also pacify City so as not to prevoke them into reigniting the whole European Super League debate as a means of survival of their current standing in the game.
Demotion to the championship at the end of this season might be enough to satisfy the majority of those wanting revenge on City and 1 year out might of the Premier League might be a pill City would be prepared to swallow without looking for revenge themselves.
Every action gets a reaction so its important to consider what the consequences might be of any action is taken. Extremely wealthy people are usually open to doing a deal but they don't usually take losing prestige and money very well at all.
6.) 26 Sep 2026 08:16:56
Weren't they found guilty by UEFA previously, but got off because of a time restraint?
{Ed001's Note - yes, their offences were time-barred under UEFA rules. They were not innocent of any of the UEFA charges.}
7.) 26 Sep 2026 11:34:00
Thanks Ed1, reading into it I think the owners have to go, same as Abramovich. God I really hate the people who are. prepared to sell their souls for glory and money grrrrrrrrrrr.
8.) 26 Sep 2026 13:40:03
Tis but the way of the world right now Sally, Fifa are a prime example of this.
Money brings power and where there is a huge amount of money there will always be a huge amount of corruption, few of us actually like it being this way but equally few of us want the entire house of card's to collapse, and I personally believe it would collapse if all skeletons in all cupboards were revealed.
Calm realistic heads are needed and if we want the benefits huge money brings to the game to continue then we are going to have to have to find a way to live with the inevitable corruption that will come with that money.
9.) 26 Sep 2026 23:58:31
If you have financial fair play rules & a club blatantly lies, hides and abuses these rules at the detriment to others to the extent $hitty did then they should have to give back titles, pay clubs compensation and be banished from epl. Sent down many leagues to be crushed & never returned. They are scum & stole so many of our players, inflated prices and were on financial steroids.
They didn't just over spend - they created false revenues, paid players from different companies and lived a lie. I hope they. Lose the club down.
I think of the team we had and they dismantled - what Wenger had to put up with City & Chelsea were scum of EPL. Zero history or trophies before the ill-gotten gains & no class since.
They single handedly made it almost impossible for Arsenal to compete.
14 Sep 2026 20:53:41
Watching Dominic Calvert-Lewin against Newcastle, I still think he would add to our team.
1.) 14 Sep 2026 21:12:07
Who would he replace, Sally?
{Ed025's Note - jokerez?..
2.) 14 Sep 2026 22:22:31
First it's Drossard then Martinever is it Viktor next falling for Ed025 and his nickname hex? COYG DCL no thanks.
{Ed025's Note - but im always right Sussex, i do know a lemon when i see one mate.. :)
3.) 14 Sep 2026 23:55:17
Ed025 - hope you are well. Yep, that would be for sure but I don't think he's good enough to replace Kai though. Arteta seems to be intent on not giving Vic much time this year. Hope we don't reduce his market value.
{Ed025's Note - i think him and Kai are at about the same level SY, Vic,s market value is around £12m imo mate..
4.) 17 Sep 2026 10:06:50
I feel he could slot in anywhere SY.
He seems to be the sort of player who plays for the love of the game. Good natured, physically strong and committed.
13 Sep 2026 20:06:05
Does anyone think the rules have become too complicated?
When there are 5 or 6 different scenarios to decide if a player is offside it just feels wrong to me.
1.) 13 Sep 2026 21:22:53
The acronym KIS comes to mind, Sally. Keep it simple. The more complicated we make anything, then obviously the more chaos and confusion there's going to be.
2.) 14 Sep 2026 03:04:51
Enzo is offside and impacts the goalkeeper. Apology incoming.
