Didn't we pay around £6M for Ospina?, why are we selling him at a loss when on the whole he's played well for us and is still fairly young for a keeper?!, we should be selling him for at least £8-10M really, he's not in the top bracket of GK's but is in the next one down, also why are we wasting time on the GK position anyway?, it seems like both he and Scz are off so then we will have to buy a replacement.. what a waste of time.

:banghead:

As usual we are going to sign a few square pegs for round holes, haggle over £1.50 and then make a last minute trolley dash for our 5th choice targets in each position.

Our Nearly Signed XI has not been up to its usual standard in recent years.....a bit like the real team. We've failed to replace the virtual Drogba and Zlatan as the years have rolled by, and Yaya Toure is just about on his virtual last legs these days. The virtual Ronaldo is still a genius but can't be expected to go on forever.

The virtual Mbappe and Lacazette have big shoes to fill........but I'm virtually 100% behind them

ONE ARSENE WENGER..........THERE'S ONLY ONE ARSENE WENGER

So we'll value him at less and make a bid for even less than that.

Has anyone actually watched Jordan Pickford play? Can't understand all the hype...he's fucking gash! Sure he's made a massive amount of saves, that's a given playing behind the absolute shit at Sunderland but the amount of goals he's pissed in that he was single handily responsible for is a joke.

It's just the fucking football hipster answer....ohhhh Jordan Pickford is a top keeper.

FUCK OFF HE'S GASH :banghead:

If he goes for 40m the games gone.

Can we have an Online Gooner reporter go ask Wenger "Any fake news mate?"....

I think he's OK. He's a good shot-stopper, but he's pretty small for a keeper.
I'd prefer us to sign Jack Butland.

I'd rather we sold Ospina (because he wants out) brought back the Pole and got on with signing outfield players, instead we are trying to negotiate selling him because he has only 1 year left and we can gain €15M selling him in Italy, again shows our small time cheapskate mentality (if true).

The only thing that p*sses me off about Cech is he is useless on penalties, we might as well put Holding or Mertesacker in goal for pens, is that actually allowed?.

Are Debuchy and Jenkinson out of contract this summer, surely they will not get renewed ?

Rodders, the game went tits up years ago mate......... :?: :cry:

Still Arsene will sign a few 3rd rate players. Maybe one marquee signing if we're all extremely lucky.
Ozil will look even less interested once Alexis has gone, and no other player is on his 'wavelength'

Still Rooney needs a club..

Another season of joy awaits us all.

You mean a bit like the football hipster "Cech is a winner. He's going to win us 10 points on his own and turn us into champions". One thing's for certain - that was a fucking load of old gash :banghead:
