@LeGrove@mike_mmcdonald I think you can make an argument a player with that much talent who started for Spain in the euros presents enough long term upside that the short term ‘punt’ is worth it
Signing a player in January has to be about NOW impact. We're still in 4 comps. Depleted. Looking for some magic.
Nico Williams - 2 goals - £300k p/w - £58m. Probably great in the long term, but now? Not so sure he'd be much more than a body this season. He'd also not add to our depth, he'd just leave one wide player buried (vs signing a forward).
Players scoring and delivering impact now:
Marmoush - 17 goals, 11 assists
Mbeumo -13 goals, 4 assists
Cunha - 10 goals, 4 assists
Sesko - 11 goals, 3 assist
Barcola - 10 goals, 2 assists
Even Sane (5 goals) and Coman (4 goals) are having more impact than Williams is right now and have the experience in title run-ins.
If you're not signing for now, generally speaking, you're paying a premium on something you could sign for 30% less in the summer.
Arsenal live in a world of finite cash, make a mistake you can't undo for 3 seasons, fans won't forgive and will forget they begged for the signing. Look at United fan reaction to signing Hojland, Casemiro and Zirkzee... elation, now toxic buyers remorse.

@Allsole_CS hi I have had multiple messages saying my order is delayed but with no information on when it will be sent. Please can you advise me when I will receive my order?
@clivepafc@arse2mouse@TB_Gooner There would have been no controversy if he hadn’t given the yellow after the match. Doubt it would have been any sort of talking point from anyone involved
@arse2mouse@TB_Gooner I ask myself a simple question there are many things to improve in football
But-
Did anyone say:
“I tell you what - sending off a player for a technicality by the corner flag to waste time for a team that’s won 18 out of 20 games in 2024.
We need that in football and NOW 😏
🎯 Spot on from @MicahRichards on the Declan Rice incident 👏🏻
This is the kind of reaction we need from the media if anything is going to change. Nobody wants a red card for this.
@YankeeGunner A certain German international “might” be on his way boss, if that helps.
Remember the last time I said that it nearly broke the Arsenal interweb. #Blimey 😂
I just learned that the men's and women's high jump world records have stood for 31 and 35 years, respectively. Can someone from the field community explain this to me?
Beginning to think one of two things RE: Partey:
- He hasn’t fully recovered, or
- the club has already decided to move on from him and he’ll just be a sub till the window opens
