senorsoupe Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Partey could end up being Arsenal's best signing in at least a decade, they have desperately needed a good defensive midfielder pretty much since Viera left 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fucked up, I'm telling you. Totally agree. Its grotesque and will become ever more so in a rapidly changing world. On a related note, I was just reading about Arsenal making 55 staff redundant, while the very same club signed a player last night for £45 million on about 250 grand a week. I'm not sure that sits very comfortably at all with me, and I think it should be illegal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence is iffy but not many aren't in that league, but so well balanced in midfield and attack. Guys who can hurt you in different ways and almost all of them can dominate physically as the midfield did last night Barkley is a tremendous signing for them, like the extra wee bit that will make everything else better and take so much pressure off Grealish. Assuming he is interested anyway, which I think he will be, could give him a new lease of life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was it on here that said that he'd be best at Barcelona? I didn't say best. I said Barca need a bit of what he has and he would be cheap as chips so worth picking up. He would be. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz keeps them ticking over, McGinn is all action and as you say Barkley gives defences a creator other than grealish to worry about. Watkins looks at least a handful even if he doesn't score a bucket load over the season. Trezeguet I'm not sure about but at least he seems to stick wide so again another thing to worry about. I like that in the positions they've improved they've (largely) let last season's reserves go and kept last season's starters as backups too so the squad as well as the team is stronger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Amazing shithousery at Arsenal. They say the pandemic has hit the club hard and pay off 55 people. They then pay £45m for one player. Their highest paid player who is being kept at arms length from the rest of the squad comes out and says he will pay the wages of the Mascot as long as he is an Arsenal player and how important he is to the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is that he's not willing to track back when the opposition have the ball. IIRC he also refused to take a wage cut in the summer. It appears that Ozil is willing to sit in the stands this season, bank his £350k a week and leave on a free next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, they paid off 55 people to save the club £2 million per year. Then deposited a cheque with La Liga for FORTY FIVE MILLION to activate Partey's release clause, and will be paying him around a quarter of a million a week. Its disgusting and it should be illegal. Football is going to have to change, the disconnect between fans and clubs is now ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGafraidh Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 At West Ham there could be legal proceedings about their lease at the Olympic Stadium organized by E20 and the LLDC. Here is a cutting from that article (link below) ” In December 2017, a damning report into the mismanagement of London Stadium was published by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. The report detailed what the London Assembly described as a “catalogue of errors” involving the transformation of the venue from an athletics facility into the home of West Ham. In the report, Khan’s predecessor, now Prime Minister Boris Johnson, was heavily criticised for the role he played in the transformation process. The report found that the taxpayer had been left to foot an annual loss of around £20m (€21.9m/$25.8m) due to the mistakes made by the previous regime.” https://www.thestadiumbusiness.com/2020/10/07/lldc-and-e20-commence-legal-action-over-london-stadium-lease-deal/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
