I figured they announce it today. Friday, good vibes for the weekend. But i guess they may wait in case we lose to chelsea then announce it.

And im sinking further into Granit Xhaka will be starting Aug 13th.

I would be so fricking annoyed if we keep Xhaka.

Likewise, I understand not letting him walk for peanuts but at the same time a midfield partner for Partey was our biggest need this summer.

This window has been an overall bummer for me. Offloaded hardly enough dead weight, and keeping some cancerous players. Pretty deflated with the Xhaka news.

You don't want to be yellow/red card leaders in the PL this season?

I think 17 million pounds is more than enough for Xhaka. Just move on.

The only way I am happy to keep Xhaka is if Azeez can break into the edge of the 1st team this season. I wouldn't mind not buying anyone if Arteta rates Azeez highly enough to count on him for 5 to 10 games this season.

That kid as well as Petino are fricking monsters in the academy. We have produced some damn gems the past 5ish years. Azeez and Petino making it big at Arsenal would be huge.

That said, Azeez is still young and Petino is a year away at the earliest.

50m is a good price for White. Especially considering how insanely overvalued young English players are in England.

We bid up to 35m last summer but they wouldn’t come down. Ended up getting Koch and Llorente for a combined 33m

I think Arsenal fans take issue because we shelled out 28m for a cb that has yet to play a single game for us.

I personally believe Ben White will be great for us, but that wasnt a perceived position of need because we have holding and saliba. And Chambers can play on the rt side as well.

Great day for Arsenal. We have two 23 year olds as our CB’s for the foreseeable future.

Arteta also told White he was not the last “significant” signing this summer.

Those signings better be another 10, backup Goalie, and a striker is all I’m saying.

I didn't watch, but seems like Andre Mariner was a giant piece of shite today.

Partey injured his ankle, getting a scan.


quote:

Arteta on Partey. "I just had a talk with the doc. He'll have a scan tomorrow. At the moment it's not looking good."






quote:

Mikel Arteta says Granit Xhaka will stay at Arsenal this season after his proposed transfer to AS Roma fell through.


And at this point we will need him. Probably still need another midfielder even with xhaka.

I watched most of it. The Partey injury is really bad news, fingers crossed it’s on the less serious side. We need to sign a midfielder ASAP. If it’s Xhaka-El Neny starting the first game I’ll be livid.
Good notes; Willock “scored” again (no goal line technology) and looked very good. Eddie Nketiah who I’ve never been a fan of has been our best forward this preseason by far. Lokanga looks like he belongs at this level.

Bellerin with an assist today, granted it was for the other team

i’ve been ready for him to love on for years…should have sold him to barcelona years ago when he had high value

It was a good goal from Willock too. Hate to see the Partey injury.

Yeah, i guess the refs are so used to goal line tech they don't get their fat asses down the line anymore.

You can clearly see its in from the stands.

If Xhaka plays like he did in the EUROS he will be one of the best players on the roster...I know, big if, but I think it is worth the chance. He was playing much better the last third of last season.

Him, Pepe, Saka and Tierney were the best players in the last bit of the season.

ETA: Smith Rowe as well.
