    You have got to be shitting me!

    🚨🔴⚪️ Bad news for Arsenal as Mikel Merino is injured.

    “He has a shoulder injury and it looks like he will be out for a few weeks”.

    “He landed on the floor and Gabi landed on top of him, it’s a fracture probably”, Arteta says

    Sterling to Arsenal boys, here we go

    He’s a decent option to have until next year

      I think the first time I flew to America last year, I was in San Fran and the immigration queue was about that

      Sorry man.

      Customs/immigration lines aren’t usually too bad for me at most American airports. Except at Denver airport. Holy shit was that a nightmare! Actually missed by connecting flight and got stuck in that hell hole for 7 hours because of the horrible layout and abject incompetence of the staff.

    Romano is saying we’re trying to get another goalkeeper in addition to Neto.

    Nygaard, Setford, Neto, and now one other? Kinda crazy.

      Makes sense tbh, do we really want an 18 year old third choice

      but also technically Raya came in this window too

    What an absolute shitfest this transfer window. Elite clubs in Europe in need of a striker and this bum leaves for the Saudi league.

      If this is about Osimhen I read somewhere that this is kinda a Oscar / Caicedo situation of “get money to get family out of poverty” situation, which I can’t blame them for. Saudis pay well.

        No he just chilling and going to country music concerts. I think only because Andersen left that he was able to make the bench.

        I’m actually surprised he hasn’t moved to the US and play because he is literally infatuated with American culture

    Apparently Al-Ahli are putting in a 50M release clause into their Osimhen offer. … Could we just buy him in January for that much?

        As a no obligation rotation option we could do worse…

        Mikel and Edu have proved me wrong about his intraleague signings, so we’ll see.

          We’ll get behind him, but I expected the club to do better. Has anyone ever won the league with a loanee before?

            Yes, according to google — Carlos fucking Tevez.

            Also some other people like Andy Goram.

    NGL, I feel like we’ve kind of screwed up this transfer window, and it’s going to hurt us as the season goes on (unless we get some players in over the winter, which isn’t that likely).

    Calafiori was a great addition. Merino will probably be good too. And Raya’s permanent deal was a good foregone conclusion.

    But we’ve now lost two of our right wing back-ups for Saka (Vieira and Nelson) and not replaced them. We have Jesus who can play there, but he’s injury-prone. Do we have some stunning, maybe academy grads ready to step up? I thought Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly are both central with a slight bias to the left.

    Meanwhile on the left wing we have brought in Sterling on a loan - more competition for Martinelli and Trossard.

    And we lost Eddie up front with no replacement.

      Sterling can play RW, he’ll probably be main back up for Saka. Nwaneri has played RW before iirc, but probably Sterling first. Has also played 9 according to transfermarkt but I have no memory of that. But RW he should be fine, I think.

      Still think we’re a bit light with Nelson also going but eh. Sterling is a very versatile player and I think less washed than people think, I’m quite in favour.
