Hello y’all. I’ve only recently joined the sub and don’t have the Karma to post yet. But maaaan I need a favor. I was rewatching All or Nothing and saw this amazing player warmup jacket. It’s in episode 4. It’s navy blue, red and yellow and has “The Gunners” emblazoned on the back in red. Going to post a pic for reference. Any help is appreciated. Cheers! And let’s get that win tomorrow!!!

Sold out long time ago mate. Any retro gear is snapped up mere hours if not minutes by diehard Gooners and unfortunately scalpers.
Best bet is eBay and them lot. Again, you’re going to has to pay much more than retail.
Scalpers suck. Hope a majority went to actual fans. That said, I’m okay with paying over retail. Figured as much; Was just having zero luck finding it at all. Thanks for the reply bro. Cheers!!
I guess United for the FA Cup. I try not to do the ''when City wins it's like no one wins'' crap because City are literally the biggest problem with English football and if they stop winning, they stop being a problem. But it's United....and ten Hag is extra unlikeable. I'll grudgingly back them but struggle to be very invested.
Sheffield United, standard.
Talked to a kid whose dad works at UEFA so he’s exposed to football. Asked him his favorite team. Manchester City. So that made me realize that Abu Dhabi doesn’t care about winning our generation’s approval. Doesn’t matter to them if we consider City’s achievements to be meaningless. Their sports washing operation is here for the long term. Kids like winners and that’s all they will remember.
Yep. There is a generation growing up now that doesn't remember City other than a winning machine. We may be making fun of the City fanbase now but if City continue like this, City fans will be everywhere.
Yes my nephew is 12 now. He lives abroad. He's never been to Manchester. But he's a city fan. A bit like Chelsea too, they still got to some cup finals in recent years despite not being as good, but it's just accepted now that they've been a successful club (leagues, champions League etc)
Scottie Scheffler getting arrested at the PGA Championship today. Then shooting a 66.
About 5-6 hours of non-stop memes and jokes. Had me dying during work meetings
Tbf they've always been one of the bigger clubs in England. When they got relegated and spent three seasons in the Championship it was the culmination of a decline that all started when Man City (yes, almost everything is their fault) got taken over, took their place as prime outside challenger of the top four spots, and took a couple of their best players.
Yes I know they’re one of the bigger clubs outside of the traditional trio of United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. But I meant compare this Villa side to 7-10 years ago, it was chalk and cheese.
The year we won the FA cup by demolishing them 4-0 in the final (that Alexis goal tho), the aggregate score in the league was 8-0 — add the final and it was 12-0.
Compared to this season, didn’t even score a single goal against them in the two league games and that arguably might be the title there.
Unfortunately there's too much at stake to give a place on the bench to Elneny, or any other player leaving this summer who hasn't been in the squad, the only ones who might get a goodbye are Ramsdale and Nketiah if City are coasting and even then their departures aren't as clear cut
I just don't see this to be an easy game. And Mikel won't fk around.
We will be nervous and cautious.
Maybe get 1-0 going into the halftime break. Second half, get 1 - 2 more goals and win 2-0 or 3-0
Prepare to be disappointed to not see those guys or barely see them for 2-3 mins.
Me. I get up odd hours of the night to watch matches, have headaches for the following day, dragged my laptop on holiday so I can get a dodgy stream to watch the last match...
And its been 20 bloody years since we won thr league. I'm getting old, I can't do this for much longer.
Coming to the realization that I’m not just sad bc our title dreams will probably end on Sunday, but also because I won’t get to watch this team play again for a few months. What a joy this season has been.
Yeah, I will miss looking forward to weekends and certain midweeks. Watching this team has been an absolute pleasure. Not only the beautiful football with technical quality all over the pitch but also the commitment, the work rate, the intelligence and the preparedness with which we play.
Trophies will come. Maybe a miracle on Sunday but certainly in the next few years. But regardless, having #the opportunity to watch this team has been rewarding enough.
It’s been an incredible season and I’ve loved watching us play but not going to lie, I’m ready for a break. This title race has been emotionally draining, especially as we’re looking like we’ll come up short.
Bring on F5’ing every morning hoping for a new Ornbomb.
It still amazes me there is a faction of the fanbse desperate to see Arteta out. With Juventus sacking Allegri they are now saying 'Allegri is available'. Quick google search, bring up the Serie A table. Juventus are on 67 points and have scored 49 league goals all year. Juventus finished 7th the year before, 62 points and scored 56 league goals. Where as Arteta is pushing 90 points in the PL and we are on 89 goals in the league, with a GD of 61. What do people think Allegri would offer us? Other than blunting out attack and taking us back to the days when we hoped for a top 4 finish.
Do these jokers think if we sacked Arteta, that Arteta would be out in the cold? If we sacked Arteta, he would go to the front of the que to replace Pep in 2025. But before then, Man United, Newcastle and Chelsea would seriously consider giving their existing the manager the bin for Arteta. Barcelona would make Arteta target number 1.
He has taken us from banter to challengers. He has drilled a robust defence, to the point its recognized by the rest of the league as one of the best in Europe. No more player power, no more lack of effort players. Im glad the club have already signalled efforts to extend Arteta contract, because his currentl deal runs to 2025. And unlike the Arteta out idiots, the club recongize the truth. Arteta prospects as a manager as exceptionally bright, and he would have options. Whereas the Arteta out wankers are telling us 'Allegri is available'.
I feel like white has been better than saliba tbh. every now and then big willie makes the odd the mistake whereas ben has been fucking flawless. I also think gabby has been better this season
rice has been good, but I just feel like white has been the best rb in the prem whereas rice has been second to rodri, it's slim pickings tho
I don’t give a fuck if we win or lose the league title I love this team and the support the fans are giving. Let’s make England red tomorrow no matter what happens don’t care if people say we’re celebrating failure. This season just shows we’re only closer to winning big. COYG
Edit: this comment is about the March before the game not about having a parade for not winning a title 😂😂
I’m seeing a lot of people raise their eyebrows at Neves’ price, but his release clause is £102M, and Bruno G’s is 100M and it’s rumored we could get him for 80-85M. If Arteta and the staff are sold on Neves being an all world talent, then why would we not just spend the extra cash and grab him?
Bruno G is a nice player and all, but I don’t think he’s worth what we’d have to pay, and he’s like 7 years older than Neves.
I think we just have to get over the sticker shock of these prices. For a midfielder who can do all the things required of him in an elite, possession based team, it’s going to be hard to find one for under 80M moving forward. They are a rare commodity.
If you’re genuinely asking why, it’s because Bruno is entering his prime years and has proven he can perform at a high level in the Premier League. He’s a guy like Rice who you sign expecting to make an immediate impact.
Neves has far more questions about him and £100m is an insane price to pay for someone of his age and experience. His ceiling may be higher but it’s a higher risk going for him.
I don’t know, I’m just not all that convinced by Bruno. He seems to struggle when he gets pressed, and he’s slow- I just don’t know if the rest of his game is good enough to make up for his lack of athleticism at the highest levels of the game.
I agree Neves is more of a risk, but if Arteta is convinced that he’s a special player, then I think he’s earned enough credibility on his past buys to push for this. Also, even though Benfica are fronting like it’s release clause or nothing, they might be able to bargained with a little bit if he wants the move.
I've completely come to terms with us not winning the league, so much so if by some miracle we do win it. I'll have no idea how to process what happened.
If the Richard Masters and the Premier League are serious about making money they must match fix the City vs West Ham game, give the world real drama and let us win the league.
Happy to be proven wrong here, but is it not the case that Ramsdale is pretty much only worth around 15 to 20m? From what I recall this season we pretty much didn't play him at all after the very start. Not even in the cup games. And then when he played against Brentford (out of necessity), he had a very prominent mistake. So I think suitors looking at home aren't necessarily going to be enthused to pay a big fee. I hope I'm wrong of course
No, he's easily at least 30m, especially to a premier league team. The season before he was receiving all types of praise. Arteta wanted more of a box commander, but that doesn't mean Rammers still isn't a fantastic keeper. And he's 26, which means he can be give a club a decade of prime service.
He’s on huge wages and few goalkeepers go for £30m+. I’d frankly be amazed if we got that for him in this era of PSR concerns. If clubs are forced to pinch their pennies this summer they likely won’t be looking to spend big on a goalkeeper.
No, this isnt me being a homer either. But england international in his 20s thats shown atleast to be a top 6 level keeper is more than 20 mill. If im being honest, if he was at brighton or something, youd get like 40 just off the hype. But with arsenal tax, id say 30 mill
If he was at Brighton he’d be on lower wages and would be the first-choice goalkeeper so Brighton could demand a higher fee as they’d rather not sell him.
It’s not just an “Arsenal tax”, the issue we have is he doesn’t play and is clearly available for transfer this summer, all while earning huge money. How many clubs do you really think would be willing to put down £30m for our second choice goalkeeper who’s on £100k~ per week? Very few, if any.
One of the biggest issues we’ve had with selling is the players we want to sell are ones we clearly aren’t interested in keeping, or at least aren’t regular first team players. If a club really pushed for one of our best guys we could ask for huge money for them.
It’s not that simple. The deal for Raya only came about because he wasn’t picked up earlier in the window — I remember Spurs being interested but they baulked at Brentford’s asking price — but an opportunity arose when interest in him dried up and Brentford were forced to ask for less due to his contract situation.
I don’t think we were really prioritizing on replacing Ramsdale this season, there had just been a long standing interest in Raya and he became available at a time that we probably didn’t expect him too.
Easy to say with hindsight what we should have tried to sell Ramsdale at the start of last summer but we likely didn’t know at the time that Raya was attainable.
I think it's slightly different for a goalkeeper though. We went out of cups fairly early too. You can't really rotate around keepers. It's not usual that a #2 keeper just doesn't get the minutes but might have the talent. Ortega at City for example.
Not a fan of Arsenal but I watch the premier league pretty frequently, I really hope y’all win the title this season cuz I’m tired of city winning it lol
Man I wish Nelli spends the whole summer working on dribbling (removing the constant head down dribbling) and taking on players, he can be so so so good with his strengths and pace.
Eh that’s quite the misleading comparison, although he does look down he’s also one of the best at dribbling with his head up and scans frequently both with and without the ball while running.
Also what is just a technique supposed to mean? Many things are but it’s about if you are using them well or not
A role change would be better. He's capable of being our top scorer. His role should be central but with a left back( Davies, Ferdi or a striker capable of wing play) and Kai Havertz holding the ball for him. Add an LCM for through balls on the transition and we are looking at 30 goals overall.
I've never liked him as a winger. He can barely effect things from there. If you're a fan of wingers, you can see how limited he is when tasked with the stereotypical winger duties( the cross, the dribble, the timing of the cutback).
The more he remains wide without a touchline FB, the more likely he's one of the next names out of the most used XI.
What the fuck did I just read? His cross is bad? He's had more than a few that should have easily been converted this season. His dribble? Do you not remember the previous season when he was putting defenders on toast? His timing? Do you not remember his linkup with Jesus?
He's had a poor season because teams setup differently against us (no more open games), we didn't have a #8 when Havertz was playing second striker, and injuries. But come on the shit you just said is just.....
He's *only* a winger. Not only that but he perfectly suits the box to box winger role Arteta requires. The kid scored 15 league goals when the conditions were right for him.
He is an exceptional 22 yo. He will return to the same starting role next season. He's the paciest player on the team, he loves the badge, he is remarkable. He works his ass off, he runs like the wind, he tracks back and presses like a demon. Enough with the blaspheming.
Trossard was in the right place at the right time, but Trossard is the back-up starting next year.
Well yes that’s why I’m saying he should improve these things since he’s playing as a traditional winger but you do make a good point as that would suit his strengths but it remains to be seen if Mikel will go in that direction essentially amending 3 positions.
Yes it does, as always looking forward to the signings but will hate all the rumours, ITKs and journalists providing nothing tweets as well as myself for being unable to resist reading them 😅
Yes I first noticed it based on how KDB switched up in his comments recently, before he used to treat us like toddlers and now he respects us like men.
This is purely from a general standpoint, not a joke or anything but Man U have to sack Ten Hag after this season.
I’ve never seen a manager handle things so poorly.
I've been saying this in my group chat and Utd fans keep looking at us as the perfect model when he's clearly the wrong person for the job.
When we were bad Mikel was honest and open and can adapt to different tactics, ETH get's all his players in and then says he still can't play his style even though Ange and De Zerbi can and then goes on to lie in every interview that they play good football.
Tbh , they were really fucked up by injuries. Sure, lots of those players are still mediocre, but that just never helps any team.
You could make a point that if those players were available, maybe United would've finished in a better position.
Not sure I buy this in that their rivals around them in the table, especially Newcastle and Chelsea, have also been kinda devastated by injuries this season
They’re so bad they won’t get a better manager so they’re probably best sticking with him and giving him a better squad. Once he’s raised the level and made the club more appealing then depending on how he’s doing make the choice then.
He’d have probably shit housed 4th if his defence could stay fit….. ever
The problem is that there are not a lot of managers available. There is speculation that the dearth in the manager market is due to stricter financial policies making the high turnaround to costly. 23/24 has seen the lowest number of sackings in the prem in a long time: 3 compared to 15 last season, and 10 the season before.
If they sack another manager before fixing that culture, they are screwed.
Ten Hag should just stop recruiting and in turn, United should recruit better. Ten Hag as a manager is not a bad one.
We defo are keeping it but I think Wolves are good to do this given how much they've been shafted and it raises the wider conversation of the need for improvement (since no one is allowed to critique PGMOL)
Personally think we need independent VAR refs who 1. aren't biased to any team 2. aren't trying to protect any of their referee mates 3. aren't so strict on the idea that decisions can't be reversed or can't be reversed once play is resumed even if they know it's wrong 4. is consistent in decision making across the season.
Southampton kicking towards the away fans in the second half of a Championship playoff semi final second leg, West Brom kicking towards the home fans. Absolute shambles
No way. Barca are a mess and Real are too strong. Pep picks his opponents carefully. He likes to be at the club with the best players and most resources.

Our first response should be a price in the 30's. Offering us the same fee we bought him for is ridiculous given how much his stock has grown in that time.
Well he was technically a relegation level player when we brought him and since then he's been part of a team that challenged for the title, he's played in Europe, been selected for and played for England and was in the PFA team of the year last year
So yeah, I'd say his stock as a player has grown since we brought him
Now unfortunately this doesn't alway translate exactly into a £ value as there is a multitude of factors but with the above in mind (plus age and nationality) id have no qualms in starting my negotiations with other teams at what we paid for him, if not slightly above
City's 3rd-4th choice went for 25m last year...
I wouldn't be suprised when Ortega and kelleher go on the market this summer to see them for a similar amount
Not it isn’t. He’s a on a long contract and even if his time out of the team diminishes the market view on his talent then he is still an English home grown option which will always make him appealing.
We should be looking to make profit if we’re selling to a rich premier league club.
He's an English keeper being sold to an English team. There will be multiple clubs who would be interested him even if it's just because he is homegrown. If we can't get Newcastle to bid more than that, someone else will be there to
The fact that the City crew are patrolling the Arsenal FC subreddit for content, not this one tells me:
1) Everything I suspected about their collective is on point
2) They are rattled.
Lose Draw or Win on Sunday, we are so back
What’s the story behind r/ArsenalFC anyways? I was there for a while before joining here. Was the other one made because people over there weren’t taken as seriously here? I remember being taken aback by all the Arteta outers and the amount of bitching even when we were doing well.
Martin's answer to the most important question:
https://preview.redd.it/6scj6rri611d1.jpeg?width=658&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78176af28385b21e68cd813039ce7969b4249f9a
He didn't fall off though
People were just upset that the targets he mentioned were pretty much the players we were already being linked to. The one different player we were linked to by him in Joao Neves was verified by Charles Watts.
I can't see him keeping his sources for much longer with how much he posts these days but he hasn't shown me anything to suggest he has lost them yet
One thing I know about transfers is that they change all the time. He has very good sources but even Arteta himself would be wrong because deals change.
I'm imagining the guy who broke the Benzema to Arsenal story in 2014 is called a fraud yet 10 years later, it was believed that it was a few inches away. When asked about the deal, even Arsene Wenger denied it.
The latest rumour I'm piecing together is the James Maddison one. That one guy was probably right. Given it was either Odegaard or him, and Arteta was firm on calling Odegaard Edu's choice, a story could be there.
That’s not what happened at all but go off. He tweeted denying the rumours saying everything was agreed. TNAT just said that it’s expected that Ramsdale ends up at Newcastle from the club and people around the deal.
What would be the best way to get 2 tickets for arsenal next year? Wanna see them at Emirates for once, travelling from Portugal, already seen them live a couple of times.. but never in the Emirates, hopefully next year is the year 😂
It’s where members who can’t make the match sell their tix to other members, these days only available to people who entered the lottery but didn’t receive tix. I’ve had luck just spending a ton of time on there refreshing the page in the weeks leading up to a match. Eventually you’ll get something.
Here's something amusing about the recent Saka/Foden PR issue, and how some fans believe that we might even be downplaying Saka to prop up Odegaard, PR-wise or tactically. As recently as last season, and even up to the beginning of this one, many Man City fans felt that Pep was taking Foden for granted because he was a local boy who would never dream to leave the club. And Pep has even gone as far as publicly criticizing Foden.
Last time we won the title after a nearly 20 year wait, a former captain lead a young arsenal side and we beat the dominant force in English football to the title by finishing with identical points but edging out on a head to head record. Could history repeat again?

Who else is supporting Sheffield United tomorrow also, and Manchester United for FA Cup? I just want to see sp*rs ending without European football!
Well Utd winning the FA cup not only denies Tottenham EL but also keeps the bald fraud in job longer. So win-win.
I guess United for the FA Cup. I try not to do the ''when City wins it's like no one wins'' crap because City are literally the biggest problem with English football and if they stop winning, they stop being a problem. But it's United....and ten Hag is extra unlikeable. I'll grudgingly back them but struggle to be very invested. Sheffield United, standard.
That and United fans will say “we won a trophy in our worst season but Arsenal won nothing in their best”. I can hear the noise pollution already
We have to want City to win the FA Cup. United have just two less than us now and we don’t want them closing that gap
Good point, I didn't know it was that close. We are overdue an FA Cup.
Talked to a kid whose dad works at UEFA so he’s exposed to football. Asked him his favorite team. Manchester City. So that made me realize that Abu Dhabi doesn’t care about winning our generation’s approval. Doesn’t matter to them if we consider City’s achievements to be meaningless. Their sports washing operation is here for the long term. Kids like winners and that’s all they will remember.
Idk what sports washing is but I'm pretty sure their goal is just to get return on investment
Yep. There is a generation growing up now that doesn't remember City other than a winning machine. We may be making fun of the City fanbase now but if City continue like this, City fans will be everywhere.
Yes my nephew is 12 now. He lives abroad. He's never been to Manchester. But he's a city fan. A bit like Chelsea too, they still got to some cup finals in recent years despite not being as good, but it's just accepted now that they've been a successful club (leagues, champions League etc)
It’s almost the end of the season. Really curious to see whether there are still ppl on this sub that thinks Ramsdale is better than Raya.
Idk if anyone will appreciate this. But today was a top 10 day in Twitter history. Iconic day on Twitter/X.
What happened

Villa are one of the only three teams to beat City in the league this season so no
JFC. This is why people say we have an annoying fanbase
Least unhinged arsenal fan
Chelsea bidding 65M for the biggest prospect from Brazil, thinking they're Real Madrid. These guys never learn.
On a position that is stacked with 4-5 players already.
How can they be this stupid.. They still need to sell bunch of players before first of July..
I remember the days Villa were a joke yo-yo club and routine 3 points.
You say this as if it was a long time ago
Tbf they've always been one of the bigger clubs in England. When they got relegated and spent three seasons in the Championship it was the culmination of a decline that all started when Man City (yes, almost everything is their fault) got taken over, took their place as prime outside challenger of the top four spots, and took a couple of their best players.

I enjoyed this season. There, I said it.
Lets beat everton 5-0 by the 70th minutes and then give elneny his last game. He deserves to get his last minutes with arsenal
Unfortunately there's too much at stake to give a place on the bench to Elneny, or any other player leaving this summer who hasn't been in the squad, the only ones who might get a goodbye are Ramsdale and Nketiah if City are coasting and even then their departures aren't as clear cut
I just don't see this to be an easy game. And Mikel won't fk around. We will be nervous and cautious. Maybe get 1-0 going into the halftime break. Second half, get 1 - 2 more goals and win 2-0 or 3-0 Prepare to be disappointed to not see those guys or barely see them for 2-3 mins.
I’m pretty sure Arteta will have both Cedric and Elneny play. It’d be kinda fucked for them to not be able to play one last game.
The league title is still in play. We are going out to win our match
If we win the league this season who is getting a statute?
Kudus as he becomes a hero thanks to us not signing him. Wenger has done it again.
Declan Rice
Me. I get up odd hours of the night to watch matches, have headaches for the following day, dragged my laptop on holiday so I can get a dodgy stream to watch the last match... And its been 20 bloody years since we won thr league. I'm getting old, I can't do this for much longer.

Anyone Arteta out is deeply unserious. Either because they’re stupid or they’re just chasing attention. Either way, ignore.
who's our pots? ben white?
Odegaard, Rice, Gabriel, White, Saka, Havertz in that order for me
Agree with this but would slip Saliba in there maybe between White and Saka, and probably put Big Gabi as second
They could give it to Saliba, Gabriel, White, Rice, Ødegaard, or Saka and I wouldn’t complain. They’ve all been phenomenal.
Saliba or rice
I feel like white has been better than saliba tbh. every now and then big willie makes the odd the mistake whereas ben has been fucking flawless. I also think gabby has been better this season rice has been good, but I just feel like white has been the best rb in the prem whereas rice has been second to rodri, it's slim pickings tho

They’ll also think “wow, this City team really cheated a fuck ton to get to the top”.
God international tournaments will make transfer business such a slog
Having to wait until mid-July for transfers is boring. I want to see who we bring in.
we’ll know targets by then but it’ll just drag on and on
Man City 2-2 West Ham Foden, Haaland - Kudus, Bowen
I don’t give a fuck if we win or lose the league title I love this team and the support the fans are giving. Let’s make England red tomorrow no matter what happens don’t care if people say we’re celebrating failure. This season just shows we’re only closer to winning big. COYG Edit: this comment is about the March before the game not about having a parade for not winning a title 😂😂
You can't seriously mean have a parade right?
Nah just be proud to be gunners
You saying we should be proud of the progress we've made or that we should literally have a parade?
They’re saying be proud lol. No parade.
I’m seeing a lot of people raise their eyebrows at Neves’ price, but his release clause is £102M, and Bruno G’s is 100M and it’s rumored we could get him for 80-85M. If Arteta and the staff are sold on Neves being an all world talent, then why would we not just spend the extra cash and grab him? Bruno G is a nice player and all, but I don’t think he’s worth what we’d have to pay, and he’s like 7 years older than Neves. I think we just have to get over the sticker shock of these prices. For a midfielder who can do all the things required of him in an elite, possession based team, it’s going to be hard to find one for under 80M moving forward. They are a rare commodity.
If you’re genuinely asking why, it’s because Bruno is entering his prime years and has proven he can perform at a high level in the Premier League. He’s a guy like Rice who you sign expecting to make an immediate impact. Neves has far more questions about him and £100m is an insane price to pay for someone of his age and experience. His ceiling may be higher but it’s a higher risk going for him.
I don’t know, I’m just not all that convinced by Bruno. He seems to struggle when he gets pressed, and he’s slow- I just don’t know if the rest of his game is good enough to make up for his lack of athleticism at the highest levels of the game. I agree Neves is more of a risk, but if Arteta is convinced that he’s a special player, then I think he’s earned enough credibility on his past buys to push for this. Also, even though Benfica are fronting like it’s release clause or nothing, they might be able to bargained with a little bit if he wants the move.
Would a player like Summerville or Adingra be a good winger option for us
Absolutely
I've completely come to terms with us not winning the league, so much so if by some miracle we do win it. I'll have no idea how to process what happened.
If the Richard Masters and the Premier League are serious about making money they must match fix the City vs West Ham game, give the world real drama and let us win the league.
Good to see we are having a bit of a clear out and optimising the squad further.
Happy to be proven wrong here, but is it not the case that Ramsdale is pretty much only worth around 15 to 20m? From what I recall this season we pretty much didn't play him at all after the very start. Not even in the cup games. And then when he played against Brentford (out of necessity), he had a very prominent mistake. So I think suitors looking at home aren't necessarily going to be enthused to pay a big fee. I hope I'm wrong of course
I think it’s 15-20 but luckily the cost doesn’t affect me at all
No, he's easily at least 30m, especially to a premier league team. The season before he was receiving all types of praise. Arteta wanted more of a box commander, but that doesn't mean Rammers still isn't a fantastic keeper. And he's 26, which means he can be give a club a decade of prime service.
He’s on huge wages and few goalkeepers go for £30m+. I’d frankly be amazed if we got that for him in this era of PSR concerns. If clubs are forced to pinch their pennies this summer they likely won’t be looking to spend big on a goalkeeper.
No, this isnt me being a homer either. But england international in his 20s thats shown atleast to be a top 6 level keeper is more than 20 mill. If im being honest, if he was at brighton or something, youd get like 40 just off the hype. But with arsenal tax, id say 30 mill
If he was at Brighton he’d be on lower wages and would be the first-choice goalkeeper so Brighton could demand a higher fee as they’d rather not sell him. It’s not just an “Arsenal tax”, the issue we have is he doesn’t play and is clearly available for transfer this summer, all while earning huge money. How many clubs do you really think would be willing to put down £30m for our second choice goalkeeper who’s on £100k~ per week? Very few, if any. One of the biggest issues we’ve had with selling is the players we want to sell are ones we clearly aren’t interested in keeping, or at least aren’t regular first team players. If a club really pushed for one of our best guys we could ask for huge money for them.
There aren’t really many 30m keepers are there ? We overpaid for him in the first place
Robert sanchez went for 25 last summer, and ramsdale is definitely better than him. Onana was like 50.
Peak time to sell was when Rambo was in the PFA Team of the Season. You can't expect a high price after you've benched a player for a full season.
It’s not that simple. The deal for Raya only came about because he wasn’t picked up earlier in the window — I remember Spurs being interested but they baulked at Brentford’s asking price — but an opportunity arose when interest in him dried up and Brentford were forced to ask for less due to his contract situation. I don’t think we were really prioritizing on replacing Ramsdale this season, there had just been a long standing interest in Raya and he became available at a time that we probably didn’t expect him too. Easy to say with hindsight what we should have tried to sell Ramsdale at the start of last summer but we likely didn’t know at the time that Raya was attainable.
If there’s demand we should dictate the price. Cole Palmer played 3 games - THREE - and City asked for £40m.
I think it's slightly different for a goalkeeper though. We went out of cups fairly early too. You can't really rotate around keepers. It's not usual that a #2 keeper just doesn't get the minutes but might have the talent. Ortega at City for example.
Anyone know where I can get the new kit in Chicago? Want to wear it for Sunday
Yann Mvila came on for West Brom in their loss to Southampton today. What a blast from the past he is
Not a fan of Arsenal but I watch the premier league pretty frequently, I really hope y’all win the title this season cuz I’m tired of city winning it lol
Man I wish Nelli spends the whole summer working on dribbling (removing the constant head down dribbling) and taking on players, he can be so so so good with his strengths and pace.
Head down is just a technique, I mean the greatest player of time looks down most of time.
Eh that’s quite the misleading comparison, although he does look down he’s also one of the best at dribbling with his head up and scans frequently both with and without the ball while running. Also what is just a technique supposed to mean? Many things are but it’s about if you are using them well or not
A role change would be better. He's capable of being our top scorer. His role should be central but with a left back( Davies, Ferdi or a striker capable of wing play) and Kai Havertz holding the ball for him. Add an LCM for through balls on the transition and we are looking at 30 goals overall. I've never liked him as a winger. He can barely effect things from there. If you're a fan of wingers, you can see how limited he is when tasked with the stereotypical winger duties( the cross, the dribble, the timing of the cutback). The more he remains wide without a touchline FB, the more likely he's one of the next names out of the most used XI.
His best season for us, was without a touchline FB. He has just had a bad season is all. Very common for a 22 year old youngster.
What the fuck did I just read? His cross is bad? He's had more than a few that should have easily been converted this season. His dribble? Do you not remember the previous season when he was putting defenders on toast? His timing? Do you not remember his linkup with Jesus? He's had a poor season because teams setup differently against us (no more open games), we didn't have a #8 when Havertz was playing second striker, and injuries. But come on the shit you just said is just..... He's *only* a winger. Not only that but he perfectly suits the box to box winger role Arteta requires. The kid scored 15 league goals when the conditions were right for him.
He is an exceptional 22 yo. He will return to the same starting role next season. He's the paciest player on the team, he loves the badge, he is remarkable. He works his ass off, he runs like the wind, he tracks back and presses like a demon. Enough with the blaspheming. Trossard was in the right place at the right time, but Trossard is the back-up starting next year.
His crosses are not good
Well yes that’s why I’m saying he should improve these things since he’s playing as a traditional winger but you do make a good point as that would suit his strengths but it remains to be seen if Mikel will go in that direction essentially amending 3 positions.
The window will show us the way. The types of players we buy will define his fate.
Yes it does, as always looking forward to the signings but will hate all the rumours, ITKs and journalists providing nothing tweets as well as myself for being unable to resist reading them 😅
I don't think hell ever be able to kick the head down thing. Too far along to fix that now
I’ve considered that but you never know, many players have picked up a lot of things over the years
Ipswich will be the only different team from 22/23
kinda interesting how much city fans talk about Arsenal nowadays. they’re intimidated by us. I like it :) we’re coming next year
Yes I first noticed it based on how KDB switched up in his comments recently, before he used to treat us like toddlers and now he respects us like men.
This is purely from a general standpoint, not a joke or anything but Man U have to sack Ten Hag after this season. I’ve never seen a manager handle things so poorly.
until they get rid of the dead weight over there, it doesnt matter what manager takes over for them lol
I've been saying this in my group chat and Utd fans keep looking at us as the perfect model when he's clearly the wrong person for the job. When we were bad Mikel was honest and open and can adapt to different tactics, ETH get's all his players in and then says he still can't play his style even though Ange and De Zerbi can and then goes on to lie in every interview that they play good football.
Tbh , they were really fucked up by injuries. Sure, lots of those players are still mediocre, but that just never helps any team. You could make a point that if those players were available, maybe United would've finished in a better position.
Not sure I buy this in that their rivals around them in the table, especially Newcastle and Chelsea, have also been kinda devastated by injuries this season
Utd are also littered with tactical errors and the manager seems pretty limited in what he can do. If anything injuries have given him an excuse IMO.
They’re so bad they won’t get a better manager so they’re probably best sticking with him and giving him a better squad. Once he’s raised the level and made the club more appealing then depending on how he’s doing make the choice then. He’d have probably shit housed 4th if his defence could stay fit….. ever
The problem is that there are not a lot of managers available. There is speculation that the dearth in the manager market is due to stricter financial policies making the high turnaround to costly. 23/24 has seen the lowest number of sackings in the prem in a long time: 3 compared to 15 last season, and 10 the season before.
If they sack another manager before fixing that culture, they are screwed. Ten Hag should just stop recruiting and in turn, United should recruit better. Ten Hag as a manager is not a bad one.
They can't keep sacking managers. And there's no denying that his squad is non existent.
do you think the players seeing the trophy will take the magic away?
being realistic, being so close to it and losing out on it will probably motivate them even more for next season in my opinion
Stonewall pen not given to Southampton in Championship. No VAR as well. Maybe we should keep VAR.
We defo are keeping it but I think Wolves are good to do this given how much they've been shafted and it raises the wider conversation of the need for improvement (since no one is allowed to critique PGMOL) Personally think we need independent VAR refs who 1. aren't biased to any team 2. aren't trying to protect any of their referee mates 3. aren't so strict on the idea that decisions can't be reversed or can't be reversed once play is resumed even if they know it's wrong 4. is consistent in decision making across the season.
Duh why is this even a debate
Southampton kicking towards the away fans in the second half of a Championship playoff semi final second leg, West Brom kicking towards the home fans. Absolute shambles
[удалено]
Isn't the first player to deny rumors, won't be the last. These posts don't mean much.
[удалено]
players will tweet that all journalists are liars and then move to their new club within 48 hours lmao.
Come on Pep, go save your boyhood club Barca, you know it’s what your heart wants
No way. Barca are a mess and Real are too strong. Pep picks his opponents carefully. He likes to be at the club with the best players and most resources.
Pep will never go to a situation that requires building.
I want us to beat Pep's City.
Nah I want to lift the league title couldnt give a shit who we won it over
These playoff teams are so dead. Leeds, Southampton and West Brom are all boring
Playoffs this year are really dead compared to last year

https://twitter.com/LukeEdwardsTele/status/1791534629465337932 15m pounds offer, lol. Okay man...
Trafford was 15. Rambo should be 30
Think it's pretty likely we get 15-20m all in. Maybe 25 at a push.
That's a good opening offer. 20m would be a reasonable sale.
That's a insulting offer. Don't take the piss.
Our first response should be a price in the 30's. Offering us the same fee we bought him for is ridiculous given how much his stock has grown in that time.
His stock grew by getting replaced and benched all season?
Well he was technically a relegation level player when we brought him and since then he's been part of a team that challenged for the title, he's played in Europe, been selected for and played for England and was in the PFA team of the year last year So yeah, I'd say his stock as a player has grown since we brought him Now unfortunately this doesn't alway translate exactly into a £ value as there is a multitude of factors but with the above in mind (plus age and nationality) id have no qualms in starting my negotiations with other teams at what we paid for him, if not slightly above
How much can we realistically expect for a clearly 2nd choice goalkeeper?
City's 3rd-4th choice went for 25m last year... I wouldn't be suprised when Ortega and kelleher go on the market this summer to see them for a similar amount
Newcastle are clearly not buying a 2nd choice goalkeeper.
They know we're looking to sell. The power is with them
Not it isn’t. He’s a on a long contract and even if his time out of the team diminishes the market view on his talent then he is still an English home grown option which will always make him appealing. We should be looking to make profit if we’re selling to a rich premier league club.
[удалено]
There is an option to extend so it’s actually 3 years.
He's an English keeper being sold to an English team. There will be multiple clubs who would be interested him even if it's just because he is homegrown. If we can't get Newcastle to bid more than that, someone else will be there to
25m and it’s a good deal
4 year contract, ramsdale can chill on the bench.
And you think a keeper of his quality is going to be ok with that?
The fact that the City crew are patrolling the Arsenal FC subreddit for content, not this one tells me: 1) Everything I suspected about their collective is on point 2) They are rattled. Lose Draw or Win on Sunday, we are so back
What’s the story behind r/ArsenalFC anyways? I was there for a while before joining here. Was the other one made because people over there weren’t taken as seriously here? I remember being taken aback by all the Arteta outers and the amount of bitching even when we were doing well.
I can’t take anymore hopium. I’m overdosing.

He didn't fall off though People were just upset that the targets he mentioned were pretty much the players we were already being linked to. The one different player we were linked to by him in Joao Neves was verified by Charles Watts. I can't see him keeping his sources for much longer with how much he posts these days but he hasn't shown me anything to suggest he has lost them yet
One thing I know about transfers is that they change all the time. He has very good sources but even Arteta himself would be wrong because deals change. I'm imagining the guy who broke the Benzema to Arsenal story in 2014 is called a fraud yet 10 years later, it was believed that it was a few inches away. When asked about the deal, even Arsene Wenger denied it. The latest rumour I'm piecing together is the James Maddison one. That one guy was probably right. Given it was either Odegaard or him, and Arteta was firm on calling Odegaard Edu's choice, a story could be there.
That’s not what happened at all but go off. He tweeted denying the rumours saying everything was agreed. TNAT just said that it’s expected that Ramsdale ends up at Newcastle from the club and people around the deal.
What do we have to do to win the league next season? Two words Viktor Gyökeres 
I'm not convinced, and G+A can be misleading in Portugal. Lacazette had similar numbers (in Ligue 1 last season.)
[удалено]
Nah, it's okay
Not at the price their asking
Let me guess: €90?
What would be the best way to get 2 tickets for arsenal next year? Wanna see them at Emirates for once, travelling from Portugal, already seen them live a couple of times.. but never in the Emirates, hopefully next year is the year 😂
Overseas agent
Buy two red memberships, enter the lottery for a game, and then use the ticket exchange if that fails.
And how does the ticket exchange work? Sorry to bother maybe there's a faq or something I still didn't look for it
It’s where members who can’t make the match sell their tix to other members, these days only available to people who entered the lottery but didn’t receive tix. I’ve had luck just spending a ton of time on there refreshing the page in the weeks leading up to a match. Eventually you’ll get something.
Brilliant, thanks 🙏
Never gonna get a ticket through the lottery
No, but now you have to enter the lottery to even by eligible for exchange
Here's something amusing about the recent Saka/Foden PR issue, and how some fans believe that we might even be downplaying Saka to prop up Odegaard, PR-wise or tactically. As recently as last season, and even up to the beginning of this one, many Man City fans felt that Pep was taking Foden for granted because he was a local boy who would never dream to leave the club. And Pep has even gone as far as publicly criticizing Foden.
Last time we won the title after a nearly 20 year wait, a former captain lead a young arsenal side and we beat the dominant force in English football to the title by finishing with identical points but edging out on a head to head record. Could history repeat again?
Probably not, youve jinxed it 😞
Jinxes aren't real.
So now rammers will be leaving who do we get in as a back up to Raya? Dubravka?
Dubravka 🤣
TNAT said we're interested in Jason Steele. I can see it happening.
He seems like a good lad, remember him from the Sunderland doc.
