Is it true we are close to signing the Greek attacker from Brugge Tzoris.
1.) 10 Jul 2026 10:25:34
Apparently.

Is there ant truth to us going for Anthony gordan.
1.) 16 Jan 2026 13:28:11
NOOOOOO *ahem* OOOOOOOO.

Sorry if this annoys any eds what st are arsenal looking at to sign in the summer if anyone has an idea.
{Ed002's Note - Ivan Toney will remain first choice at the moment.}
1.) 04 Apr 2024 05:50:08
Thanks ed.

Hi ed002, do you know whether we'll be looking to offload Eddie or jesus as a consequence?
{Ed002's Note - Eddie Nketiah (S) If Arsenal can add Toney EN will be allowed to leave. Crystal Palace offer an option. Brentford may be interested in a part exchange.}
10 Jan 2024 10:44:31
Any truth in us activating friimpong realise clause in the summer.
{Ed002's Note - Jeremie Frimpong (RB/RWB/RM/LB) Bayer Leverkusen would not be open to offers in January unless someone is offering close to €50M. Being versatile has made him attractive to Chelsea and Arsenal who will likely now have him as first choice after losing out on another. 10 years at Manchester City might be against a move to Manchester United, but they have looked. Agent is offering him around major European sides including Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Aston Villa may provide a wilcard option.}

Great win yesterday in a hard place to go. Thank you Raya, who won us the game. I'm happy with the performance of the team. Got 2 more tough away matches before the international break. Let's hope we can win them coyg.

It's a really exciting time to be a gooner, Stephen, mate ?. For the first time in many years I am actually excited about the League Cup games, as I genuinely think our squad players are so strong we could possibly win it, with them taking us all the way to the trophy itself.
I totally accept I may well be getting carried away here, and we could easily go out at Ipswich in midweek, but, with the quality we have running right through the squad this season, it's difficult not to be excited by them. ????

Good result today. I love Kai play upfront; great hold up play, great little touches around the box. Hopefully he can become like our Giroud again.
1.) 06 Sep 2026 21:57:23
Joe Cole slammed Chelsea for selling 'world-class' Kai Havertz to Arsenal after Xabi Alonso's side were beaten by the Premier League champions.
Posted that for you, Sussex.
2.) 06 Sep 2026 22:42:08
It's why social media is sheer madness. For the record in my opinion Kai is a gifted footballer who often flatters to deceive. Nowhere near world class but he tries his nuts off and gets his fair share of goals. Is he as good as Haaland and Isak? Course not, but he's ours loves the club which is why on a week to week basis I don't put him down. That said he's scored two in three which equates to 25 goals with no penalties :) Well done Kai.
By the way Romford Pele and Merse in our all time top 15 not having it! Especially as no Ashley Cole!
PS I'm sure there will be plenty of weeks to kick Kai but I do prefer the Macro not micro side of things and appreciate your post SY. We both totally support the Champions and I never forget that COYG

Yep - I was struggling with Romford Pele and Merse also, while finding it strange that RVP & especially Cole were overlooked. Cole was exceptional, & his departure was a catalyst for CFC taking off & for us deteriorating. Ramsay was pretty special too & scored some key goals that put silver on the shelf.
A few from 70s / 80s overlooked.

Loved watching Pat Jennings, Kenny Sansom, Charlie Nick (very frustrating though) , but then I'd be all over the place if I was friendly with Suzanne Dando - one for the teenagers! Stewart Robson was the next big thing, but groin and thigh injuries stopped that. The 70's and 80's was a great time to watch live football - rock up and buy a ticket, easy enough to get Spuds, Chelsea, Pool and United tickets, and about £2 for the North Bank.
There's so much money about, but is it better? Jumpers for goalposts and someone P**sing in your jacket pocket, pints in The Arsenal pub - heady days - loved them COYG.

Looked into Kai a bit more following this discussion and googled Raumdeuter or Space Interpreter. It explains what Kai and such players bring to a side. Muller of Bayern is the most widely known Raumdeuter.
I found it fascinating, to be fair. It really explains why we don't use an out and out striker for our system. COYG. Maybe all along we've had 15 goal strikers that allow others to score much more. ?♂️
6.) 08 Sep 2026 19:32:09
Hi Sussex, I kinda posted something "similar" but probably not as pro-Ksi as the above. If we replace Kai (my ideal) , it must be with a world class 30 plus goal striker like Henry. Otherwise, what you gain you lose, because of Kai's graft. Vic is not the plan A, B or C. So, we need a fast, clinical striker that's world class to alternate with Kai, or a really good striker to come off the bench to give us options (Watkins-type signing) .
So, for me - get Kroupi and a winger in & sell Vic. Rotate Kai. I do appreciate his value - I just want a star player that can turn a game in its head on his own. We don't have that, & we will need it in Europe & the league, without goals from corners, a tough Champ League run, or breaking down opponents.

Thanks eds for the work you done during the window.
{Ed001's Note - thank you very much Stephen.}
1.) 03 Sep 2026 10:42:23
Yes thank you ed1 and all our other eds, you are always appreciated ?
{Ed001's Note - thank you so much Sally.}

Thanks, Trish.
{Ed001's Note - always a pleasure mal.}

Not looking like anyone joining now does it.
30 Aug 2026 17:53:24
I don't think we will sign anybody now this window. Maybe just sell players for the last couple of days.

I understand that my friend is just worried about injuries, as our club gets them a lot lol.
01 Sep 2026 22:10:47
I'm not against Mikel Arteta at all, trust me, or the club. I just think selling 2 lw and only bringing one in was a mistake. If we get injuries, unless there is a youth player coming through the system, I've not seen one step up.
Even if we got a loan in on Rashford until next summer, it would have made me a little bit happier, that was all, as we had cover for injuries.
01 Sep 2026 20:55:43
If we get injuries, we are light on the lw that could be title over unless a last minute Rashford loan comes in.
01 Sep 2026 20:33:40
A lw for me needed.
20 Aug 2026 00:52:51
Selling, I meant.

I'm not being negative, Gunner 62. I'm just saying, in my opinion, he is not a player that suits how we play, and has no first touch. If we played with balls in behind, he would go good running onto them, but we don't.
11 Sep 2026 09:01:29
Viktor just does not suit how we play, and his first touch is awful in my opinion. Keep with King Kai.
07 Sep 2026 05:37:19
Vic has a really bad first touch, that's what lets him down. He runs in the channels well, but his first touch is terrible.
01 Sep 2026 17:53:58
We ain't getting no one, unless we do. It's been a bad window for me. Not got the players we needed at the start.
31 Aug 2026 23:42:24
I think we need a lw with pace in behind. We really lacked that tonight.
