Listening to today’s Arsecast, I share Andrew and James’ frustration and disappointment at how the club has handled the Partey situation.
Letting his contract run down, I can understand the legal perspective. But to offer him a new contract despite the circumstances leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. I feel that a club with supposed values like ours making such a decision seriously undermines those values.
Why did nobody step up and say “this is an awful idea and we should abandon it”? Baffling.
Our women COO was ok with this. In fact, one of the victims reached out to her and was treated very dismissively by her. How on earth is this ok?
Szczesny is never going to retire then is he?
We as a fanbase need to stop reminiscing about pre WC Jesus
And that’s Hinds confirmed. Nørgaard tomorrow and Gyokeres Wednesday?
I think more likely Mosquera than Gyokeres at this time
It’s most likely hot air, either by the agent as a scare tactic or journalists for clicks, but even if Nwaneri does decide he wants regular football, why the hell would he entertain Chelsea?
Sure he’ll get a fat paycheck, but there’s no way in hell he’d be guaranteed regular football with their bloated squad. It would defeat the purpose of moving for game time.
It feels like journos are feeding off Chelsea’s transfer activity for views.
Unfortunately a precedent has already been set by Omari Hutchinson, at the very least. He got lured over there from our academy by a boat-load of money, a house for his family, etc.
Not saying Nwaneri would necessarily do that too. I think he’s got more common sense. But it’s not an impossible scenario.
Hopefully he realizes that he still has a future with us. He’s definitely a confidence player though. I think the reason his form dropped off a bit at the end of last season was because he wasn’t getting as much match time. But you’re right, he’ll get even less if that at Chelsea than he will with us.
Tbh, an ITK I trust said that if anything it was too much match time that they were worried about which is why he played less at the end of the season. Which I could buy, I mean he’s only 18, but also who knows lol
Either way I’d be shocked if he leaves, man’s been a Gooner for life
Bro this window is absolute cinema 🙌🏾
hope u haven’t missed the Dowman drama
I’ve seen a report say we’ve agreed a fee of £56.1 million with £13 million in potential addons for Gyökeres.
