🚨 Arsenal and other big PL clubs are in talks with Brighton regarding Yves Bissouma. Brighton want around € 35m to sell the player. [@Ekremkonur] #afc
And watch Arteta coach him into an Elneny clone in under a month. :lol:

If any other “big” Premier League club is in for him, why will he come to us?!

The best signing we could make from Brighton would be their manager

He won't get picked ahead of Xhaka anyway, so no doubt would be rotated with Paper Ankles and Elneny

Honestly Yves, wait for a proper manager to make a bid for you son - don't ruin your career playing for this gormless prick

If as reported AMN was told he can leave and now has been pulled in to Artetas office and told he can't then that is shocking man management and much as I don't think he is a great player I can understand his frustration.

There are sure fire ways to lose the dressing room and allegedly breaking promises is yet another one Arteta has discovered :rubchin:

I think he's garbage tbh. But if he genuinely just wants to play then fair play to him asking to go. He has probably got enough in him to make a decent enough career for himself, just not at the top level of the game. Martinez-Lite's handling of it though seems to be on a par with his managerial skills in general: Utter fucking shit. :roll:

Arsenal are only focused on completing the signing of Takehiro Tomiyasu & outgoings today - Héctor Bellerín’s move to Real Betis still needs to be resolved. [@FabrizioRomano] #afc

Arsenal are not interested in signing Houssem Aouar. There are currently no talks with Lyon. [@FabrizioRomano] #afc

I've never heard of Takehiro Tomiyasu so I think I am safe in assuming he is not a world class signing? :D

Best of luck to him, hopefully he is brilliant for us, but tbh I'd be surprised into a coma if he is. :wink:

His previous job to this one was a Kamikaze Pilot and he even failed at that!

I just hope he's not a diver! :mrgreen:

More chance of me and the Partridge shelling out 100 quid between us to come and see you, than there is of this prick turning out to be any good

I just hope he's as super quality as Park !

Does the amount captin black has spunked into edu's tissue mean that he's really going no-where before at least christmas, I would have said it would be gross mis-management to let him spend all that then sack him, but then they did extend clives contract so they do have it in them.

Just seen the interview Sky did with Edu, he was talking the sort of bollocks spin that Wenger would be proud of but the most worrying part was when he refused to answer what success means this season. If there is no even bare minimum that the club are judging Arteta by then he must be under zero pressure.
