Comrie Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) David Ruiz back from Jay McEveley's training camp. Looks like it's paid off well. Edited June 17, 2020 by Comrie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Simao Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Coppa Italia about to go to pens if anyone cares. Napoli somehow didn't score from that goal mouth scramble at the end there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 We've got the Arsenal physio who doesn't know how to wear a face mask next to the police investigating the Salisbury poisonings out there. Utterly bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly bizarre. Only one bizarre thing amongst a veritable avalanche of bizarre shite now going on. There’s clearly boxes to be ticked, and as long as they’re ticked, the game can take place - doesn’t matter if the people told to wear facemasks wear them over their genitals. They have a facemask - tick box. Game on. Edited June 17, 2020 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Arsenal look very much a mid table side and I don’t think they have the required finance to change that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why the need in the first place? No wonder there is total confusion at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s the three Sky pundits all standing on the touchline, exactly 2m apart, then there’s Hancock in the House of Commons today backslapping colleagues and crossing over the tape markings on the floor to closely greet another MP. No ballboys and balls wiped with disenfectant while cnuts pile in to George Square and protest about whatever they were protesting about.... fcuk the lot of it. Gone totally fcuking insane. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I get it’s the Pep/Man City way, but I just cannot take to a goalkeeper fizzing daisy cutters out of the box like Ederson!

Tartan Dave Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 You’d be absolutely raging with Luiz if you were one of his team mates. First mistake is forgivable, second is just sheer not bothering his lazy arse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz cost Chelsea a lot of goals by not chasing back or not closing down opponents. He often doesn't seem to care or bother. His contract is up at the end of the season and Arteta would be crazy to extend it. ETA - Taxi for Ozil and Torreira who couldn't get in that 20 man squad!

SweeperDee Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Timo Werner has joined Chelsea. Some signing for a Chelsea tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, especially if it partly funded by selling Alonso to Newcastle for £26 million! Atalanta are apparently willing to pay £13.5 million for Pasalic who has been there on loan. They would bring £40 million of Werner's £47.5 million fee! Chelsea have a lot of fringe or unwanted players that they can unload to raise funds to bring in more quality players. Bakayoko, Batshuayi, Zappacosta, Miazga, Rahman, Moses, Drinkwater and Kennedy are not in Lampard's plans. Some will attract decent fees, others will just free up wages. It's amazing how much dross has been signed and punted out on loan in recent seasons. Then there's talk of Kante and Jorginho being sold too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Ozil will be away but Torreira was just coming back from a bad ankle injury which might explain his absence. I'm not sure that other clubs will want to match Ozil's wages at Arsenal. A loan deal is a possibility. Torreira is not listed as injured at the moment so he may be lacking match fitness. There have been reports that he wants to leave. ETA - Transfermkt says he's injured. Arteta will need time to rebuild a poor squad. There's no money so he'll have to sell, swap, loan or sign free agents.

senorsoupe Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Ridding themselves of Luiz's wage would be a good start but this is the consequence many years of poor transfer dealings coming to the forefront for Arsenal. They have needed better centre backs and a proper defensive midfielder for probably close to a decade now and keep spending money on flair players. Don't get me wrong I think Aubameyang, Lacazette et al are good players but that money would have been better spent on centre backs Edit: forgot about the fact that they spend 80 million euros on Nicolas Pepe who has been pretty mediocre Edited June 18, 2020 by senorsoupe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante has been linked to be a target for PSG. He was born and raised in Paris so it's a logical rumour. It could, of course, just be a ruse by his agent to get him a new deal. I hoping that the excellent Gilmour will get regular starts this and next season. His performances before the lockdown deservedly got rave reviews from the pundits. He'd add real quality to the Scotland team too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea were smart they would place a ridiculous price tag (say 150 million) on Kante just to try to fleece PSG out of extra cash. It's the way Liverpool does business with Bournemouth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
