Sokratis joins Olympiakos. Deal until 2023.

Wish him well, hope he is happy back in Greece.

The last two windows have all been about getting rid of players who have let us down consistently over the last 4 season's. So, not signing anyone is a positive in my book. Just a couple more to get rid of. Mustafi and Xhaka.
Don't see the point of the unproven odegaard loan for 6 months with no option to buy for £1.8m.
Swap draxler (again) for guendouzi is an option but do we need anotger winger? Rather have guendouzi back as a midfield option.

Draxler is so past his sell by date, he smells like rotting meat.


If Gendouzi can come to his senses and stop with the arrogance, he could be a good player (for us?)...Apparently he was in a dressing room dust up with one of his team mates yesterday!

At least he likes a bit of rough & tumble unlike some of the snowflakes we have in our squad.

BBC: (That's British Broadcasting Corporation - NOT the other BBC Thingy!)



Arsenal hope to complete the loan signing of attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old Norwegian has struggled to make an impact in Real manager Zinedine Zidane's squad this season.

Real Sociedad, where Odegaard spent last season on loan, and Eredivisie leaders Ajax were also keen on signing him.

However, Arsenal have reached an agreement and he could feature on Saturday against Manchester United.

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague said Real Madrid blocked him going back to Sociedad as they wanted him to move to the London club.

His arrival at Emirates Stadium comes after the departure of playmaker Mesut Ozil to Fenerbahce.

Odegaard joined Real Madrid from Stromgodset in January 2015 and has played nine times for Real this season.

After returning to the Bernabeu in the summer following his Sociedad loan, it seemed he might become a first-team regular at Real Madrid under Zidane, who coached him in the B team when he first joined the club.

But after starting the first two La Liga games of the season, he has featured only once from the outset of a league game since - on 21 November.

I honestly forgot he existed.

Rúnarsson too.

He's easy to miss he moves so slowly.

Any of you that still believe that emi martinez should have been our number 1 keeper should have a look at burnley's second goal tonight

Saw it,looked like a cross and went straight in to goals he's just conceded another 1,3 -2 to Burnley now

There's two sides to that coin. Anyone that thinks Leno should be our number 1 keeper should have a look at any of the numerous soft wrist mistakes he's made and the numerous times he has spilled the ball back into the danger area..... ffs augie keepers make mistakes - otherwise there be very few goals in football and it would be as boring as that Murican Throwball horseshit you watch!

The key thing is how many mistakes keepers make. And unfortunately Leno makes a lot.

**Yeah yeah before any dusty bitches come on here bleating "but he's a good shot stopper" we fucking get it he's a good shot stopper. Most keepers are ffs! It's the rest of their game that determines if they are a top keeper or an Almunia.

Yes keepers make mistakes, and yes that includes Leno, but earlier in the season when he made mistakes the Martinez fans jumped on them and used them as an argument for why we should have kept Leno - I’m merely pointing out that that argument can work both ways when Martinez makes them.
I have seen those cross shots go into the net in the past where you can defend the keeper to some degree, but last night was not one of those - it was a soft cross hit with no pace and he had plenty of time to move his feet but his reactions were woeful
