low IQ club
missed my gunners very disappointed at what looks like no left winger or striker coming in though things can change but it looks unlikely at this point. club strategy seems to be going in hard on Martinelli and Jesus return to form and fitness. Big gamble, maybe 1/2 departures could change things. Also there weren't many 'breakout' players from this euros. Yamal and Guler already at the biggest clubs. Williams might go to Barcelona. Dani Olmo raised his profile. No standout forwards or midfielders from across Europe.
Califiori status fellas?
>Olympique Marseille have made progress on Eddie Nketiah in recent days.
>>142804895fused with kale, it seems
>its that time of the year when Marsielle shopping for Arsenal forwardskool. im going to cry if death rowe stays at the club and STILL doesnt get any mintues
Arsenal :D!
Ben White would have pocketed Williams
If you let this one die out you shant be allowed to post in Eternal anymore.Also, are english flags back?
Are we back?The rewards scheme for the red membership just keeps getting worse, remember how much stuff they used to give us 10 years ago? Now I just put all my points on a raffle to win away tickets for the Villa game.
we back big time,Arteta’s last season too.
LautaroLisandroOyarzabalNicoAll requested by Arteta. None delivered Edu needs to go
>>142809529Oyarzabal isn't good.
I don’t feel so good kiwiorbros….
>>142809759None of those four is good:-Lautardo is called that for a reason, one good copa america does not change that (messi is still doing most of the job for argentina).Lisandro is a red card magnet with anger issues, hes bad at united and is constantly injuried.Oyarzabal is mediocre but probably the best of the bunch if was brought for a decent price.Nico i think is hot or cold type of player, id prefer him over martinelli personally but his wage demands are not a good sign, he definetly can stink up the locker room.
Also who are we even targeting as a midfielder? Seems like we’ve stopped chasing bruno
kek what a kwab
>>142801452>playing united in preseasonWe need to forfeit this, they always play for injuries against us. Remember last year?
>>142809865It'd be cool if we actually had elite talent in those positions which might give us the luxury to rag on players who've just won a major international trophy, but look at what we got instead -BenchenkoJesus (did not redeem)Little George Mystery Winger We literally went after those players and came back with these scraps instead. You'd rather have these three players still? Nobody is saying the guys we didn't get are all legends of the game. It's only that at one point of time we were close to bringing them in but edu failed us and all their replacements are now deadwood, while our original targets are doing okay, to say the least
Ben White won?
Le spray tanned Guy Fawkes Reddit man won

Eternal Loser Thread
>>142811766wew, easy there Jorge.
>>142801215You told me Saka would win it for England
What are some signing?
>>142809873The only regular link i’m seeing is Mikel Merino. But Barca/Atleti might move for him after euros win. I think Fabian Ruiz, Dani Olmo are both for sale but they will be expensive (50m+). Neither had great club seasons, their teams happy to cash in. I think Adam Wharton is a player we shouldn’t miss out on.
Thoughts on Merino? Anyone seen a reasonable sample of his work at Sociedad? Spain produces some great technical midfielders and this guy isn't one of their usual manlets.
>>142811876TBF, he was probably England's most consistently good player and dragged them through against Xhaka. (Also: Shizuru a shit)
>>142810306>Mystery Wenger
(pre) season starting soonas always time for feelshttps://vimeo.com/69360936
>>142816055I fucking swear it was Hungarybro who first posted that video, surely more than a decade ago. How many times have you watched it?
>Arsenal will pay €400,000 (£336,000) plus bonuses to Ajax for Tommy Setford, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.How does that rate against the memorable Runnar Runnarsson, pic rel.Then again, other sources claim it to be around TWICE as much... Do the journos know anything?>Gyokeres still at €100mABORT!
>>142816321at least twice every year to set the mood for the following season/end of the season.
>brentford now begging for 60 millThey should have cashed in for him with us for 70We would still be overpaying, but now thery’re goong to be stuck with the bag
>>142815201Haven't seen him play apart from Spain cameos. He seems like a gamble considering his age and how his spells outside of Spain (Dortmund, Newcastle) went. Can any la liga bros comment on how good he is? Would he a good fit for our left #8 so we can drop Rice back?
Merino is a smokescreen for Kimmich.Trust the plan.
>>142816973Arsenal never tried to buy Toney. Not for 30m, 50m or 70m.There are other top clubs out there who need a striker and none of them have pushed for Toney (yet) either.
>>142810306Buying players whom are slightly less shite than our own is not a good strategy.
>>142818716Toney is a gamble.
>>142818716We were interested, but they wanted more than 80 fucking million. Don’t even try to memoryhole this, I hope united buy him
>>142816612>Gyökeres for €100mthis is what I call a portuguese scam.
>>142816055I guess you can’t end a video with the bad feels but man it’s not a fun start. But some of those moments really gets you right in the feels.
>>142801215>goatee
im over here giggling like a schoolgirl reading these posts bros... we are truly back
>>142821391>backto what, exactly?
Momentum building on ESR to Fulham stories, at 40-45m. Love the guy but Arsenal have to cash in. If he gets back to his 2021/22 form that will be a worthy signing for Fulham even at the price. But he can't return to that level with Odegaard as captain and playmaker. >>142819494>Don’t even try to memoryhole thisI lost track of a couple stories in 22/23 season but I honestly have no recollection of solid Toney to Arsenal links. Everything I heard was Arteta doesn't like him (maybe they had a meeting and he didn't like him there? possible idk).
funny to see Aouar already going to die in saudi football at 26yoI remember some idiots here wanting him in the midfield instead of Guimarães back when both were playing for Lyon
>>142816612I reckon he's coming to warm the bench as a homegrown player more than anything. He turns out good, it'll be an unexpected bonus.>>142822956The guy was just one of those FM inspired flavours of the month.
>>142822956The french Draxler
handsome lad FC
saved
>>142822698It was all contact and rumours, but brentford came out asking for 80+/not looking to sell, since they probably thought we might actually cash in. It was outrageous
we gonna have an intersting match vs bayer leverkusen lads.....you think we beat em?i know its pre season and all but still its a good overall indicator
>>142829314>gabriel injury>xhaka red
>>142829314hope so, only wins and no injuries is what I want.
>>142818881Jordan we have literal permacrocks and ol' man jorgi. Mystery Winger doesn't even exist! In what way is that only SLIGHTLY worse than people who are scoring in Euro and Copa finals and defending like prime Maldini???C'mon Jordan.
WHERE ARE THE SIGNINGS EDUUUUU
>West Ham in for Reiss NelsonGod please
>>142830593>ESR, Reiss, Lokonga, Tavares all out for about 60ish millionFingers crossed man. If Eddie leaves too then that's an early Christmas. That would mean 3 fewer home grown players on the squad though.
>>142830942Seems like we also might actually get 30 mill for nkettiahWe might be eating very good this window
>>142831534Last I heard >we were asking for 50m for him but I do think if a solid 35+ offer comes in, >we'd be happy to sell. Sold Balogun for about the same and he was having a fairly good season.
>>142830435getting kinda worried here
>>142831716I thought marseille came in with 20 and arsenal rejected since they were expectinh around 30? I mean 50 seems outragoues for him
>>142831783It's the Liverpool tactic of saying a player is worth 40 million and accepting 20 for him, rather than admitting he's a 20 million player and being haggled down to 10 million for him.>>142830942Home grown is definitely something we need to think about. Hopefully Nwaneri is in the mix this season. The kid looks to have real talent. If he was Nwanerio the media would be sucking him off nearly as hard as Yamal.
>>142832053tbf he's an english player so he is already at the top of the glazing pyramid.
>>142831783There were a few reports at the end of June saying that Arsenal set Eddie's price tag as 50m pounds so I'm going off of that>>142832053In fairness Yamal is already at the big stage. That's why he's getting praised. Nwaneri was played to take the piss out of Brentford by being the youngest player ever to play in the PL or whatever the fuck it was. And then he wasn't played again other than for like 1 other game I think? And not even in that same season? We also have to temper our expectations a fucking TON with these youth players. They may look incredible but you have to remember, so did players like Eddie.
>>142832379Nah, I get it. Yamal got that goal at the Euros. But man, the exaggerated reaction pissed me off. One good goal and they're creaming themselves and crowning him the new Messi. If he has a season like 17 year old Fabregas next season, then I'll accept it.
>>142832379>We also have to temper our expectations a fucking TON with these youth players. They may look incredible but you have to remember, so did players like Eddie.yeah, there is no doubt that these players are going to need actual loans to even consider fitting in the first team.the expectations for the team are higher than ever and the team cannot afford to hand out minutes out of pity.
it's so glaring that >we need a starter left-back that it's utter incompetence that >we haven't identified and bought one yet.
>>142832429You're being disingenuous anon. Yamal was being praised before the Euros. He was already one of the players to keep an eye one when he arrived there. Because he already had a full season under his belt for Barcelona. That's why he's being praised. He's got like 40 appearances for the first team. About 5 goals and 5 assists, nothing to go crazy about, but he's only 16 and performing well. That's why he was being praised. I'm not going to pretend like the media and Barcelona fans don't overhype the ever loving shit out of their players, especially newer youth players, but it's silly to say Yamal is only being hyped because of that Euros goal. That goal is what was expected of him. People were waiting for that goal because he was so hyped beforehand. >>142832435Not to mention that I really don't know if Arteta is the type to nurture young talent like Emery could and did.
>>142832505Calafiori will be the left back. Left-sided version of Benny Blanco. Edu is currently haggling with Bolognese over a few million euros.
>>142832505We’re getting califiori
>>142832683>>142832688Is he really going to be the starter LB? Kiwior had to wait like a whole season before he started getting any minutes.
>>142832749Yeah I assume so. Timber will probably be a rotation/back up player anywhere really in the back four until he proves he deserved in. Cali will start LB, and kiwior is unfortunanetly probably leaving. I doubt ukraine leaves if that happens, and tomi stays too. Don’t know what the tierney situation is
>>142832683>>142832688It's embarassing that he's haggling over a few million for so long when he should close the deal as soon as possible seeing how many clubs are after him. I see this turning into another Suarez saga. Also pretty sure he played center back in the euros so I don't know it's the profile >we are after on the left
>>142833277He’s played most of his time playing as a LBI’m actually not worried, personal terms are agreed and the player doesn’t want to go anywhere else. The clubs are discussing minor details and both just wants to get this done. I think it will be alright, not really many other clubs that have been vocal about him as far as i know
