£50m is far too much, but I do think ESR is a great player that deserves more playtime. He was explosive at the end of the 21/22 season, such a great super sub.
He’s playing football manager in real life, determined to build a world beating squad only using Englishmen
I know, still think Trippier Bruno and Isak are far more important this season than Gordon. You can have an off game for Gordon and still win, an off game for Bruno means a loss.
People have been calling for Bruno to be dropped up until the last couple of games. Trips is absolutely essential though, no doubt.
Isak is hugely talented, but it’s not like Wilson hasn’t been scoring.
Forgot he even existed tbh
I thought this would be a cut price deal if arsenal wanted rid. 50 mill really wouldn’t be value
Not sure he’s what we need.
sure but it’s not an immediate process, you build, you consolidate, you build again
No ones arguing that its just that there’s no value in the English market. All those players were extremely cheap bar gordon and while it’s fine having 4/5 English players in your squad but there’s no point limiting yourself by just having a one nationality team.
I’d prefer we looked elsewhere in regards to ESR because he simply doesn’t solve the issues we have (creativity).
Yes plenty of competent teams have struggled at SJP.
Aston Villa, Tottenham, Brighton, Manchester United, Man City, Arsenal have all been beaten at SJP since the takeover.
All of our best actually were from abroad.
Idk about that, he played in that role when he started to get regular starts for us and completely changed the balance of the team for the better. Finally had someone to link the attack up
The games against Chelsea, West Brom and Newcastle in the Cup were all top performances and they were before Ødegaard was signed
To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow only one submission about each transfer saga per day.

Smith Rowe isn’t a bad player but surely there’s better value for money elsewhere? It’s not like they’re in desperate need of HG players
We love English players clearly.
Signed Gordon, Hall, Livramento, Barnes, Pope, Ashby, Burn, Trippier, Targett alone since the takeover.
It has been suggested that Arsenal value Smith Rowe at around £50m, but FFP rules would almost certainly force Newcastle to be creative when it came to putting together a deal for the attacking midfielder.
Yeah, I don’t see us budging on that and I don’t see Newcastle paying it either.
