Noni Madueke granted permission by Chelsea to leave camp in USA + undertake medical before completing Arsenal switch. 23yo will not train with #CFC & flies to UK today after full agreement reached on £52m deal - 5yr #AFC contract in place @TheAthleticFC
The chavs are in club world cup final this sunday - if he was a good player or any way important to them they would stall the deal until after the game is played, but instead they cant wait to get him out the door We are a disgracefully run club with an incompetent c.unt as manager, and we continuing to throw good money away after bad - we dont deserve success cos no serious club is run like this. I see where there is anti arteta grafitti outside the emirates and that is just the beginning, cos unless this guy is a star and the team are winning, then the shit will really hit the fan and we wont have to wait long either
If this was announce a few days before the window closed with Eze and Gykores already in the bag, there wouldn’t be half the uproar.
I don’t think anyone would be doing cartwheels but they wouldn’t be losing their fucking minds either. The longer we go without signing a striker the more unrest there will be in the fan base.
You have to hope they know what they’re doing because if they fuck this up there will be a revolt by mid August.
We’re sick to fucking shit of signing chav rejects. The geeezer has a Gervinho head band to hide his receding hairline which also gives me PTSD.
He’s shit, he’s a chav , he cost a fucking small fortune and he’s here. Maybe he fails the medical?
Understand Sporting have told Gyökeres this morning they expect him back at training tomorrow, but the Swedish striker is refusing. Urgency to resolve the situation quickly now from all sides.

I can just see our bid being hijacked,and him going to one of our rivals,it would sum this club up in a heartbeat

Obviously I’ve no idea if the Sporting President is lying, or if it’s the agent, which would never surprise me.
Either way, put yourselves in Sporting’s shoes. This saga has dragged on for weeks and appears to be about 5m (maybe 10m…I’ve read differing versions) paid up front or in add-ons. So, while we’re haggling over something like 7-8% of what the total would be and generate bad blood, Sporting then see us go and splash 52m on a Chelsea reject, who cost the chavs 30m, has done nothing while there and no one else seems to want. On top of that, there are no stories of low balling and we seemingly agreed the fee without a second thought.
52m just like that, while trying to screw the Portuguese for some slippery 5m add-on or whatever. If I was Sporting, I’d say 80m fixed, or fuck off and I’d stick Gyokeres in the reserves.
It’s nothing new now, but how many of us would have thought it would become an embarrassment to support the Arsenal?!

yes Man utd are lurking in the background......
Viktor Gyokeres and his camp have rejected three separate approaches from Manchester United.

All down to one man which was wonga, years and years later his philosophy is still infecting the club and will continue to do so as long as legohead is in charge. 4th place is a trophy, im sorry he didnt cost 50 million and so on and so forth.
Arsene Wenger is a fucking cancer that still hasnt left the club alone coming up just short of 10 years after he left, and they appointed a complete beginner in legohead who also had the cut price philosophy from the off, didnt legohead forgo some payment or other to force his move to arsenal on the trolley dash with his medical being done over the phone by all accounts. Berta is just this years version of Dick Law who oversaw the trolley dash. We are an embarassment when it comes to transfers and i wouldnt blame any club for not wanting to deal with us id say its fucking torture!!

Seriously you think a very successful businessman like Kronke relies on Wenger philosophy.

Don't know if you saw my post from earlier today retro...
Agree with you 1,000% (in red)... We were once THE Benchmark for "Class" and Upholding "The Highest Standard"... Now!?
Pffff! Yeah! Right....
Part of it is the "Americanisation" of our Club ... and more widely spread... Football as a Game (OUR Beloved Game that we Call Football ... NOT Fucking.. SOCCERRRRR!) Sorry But I fucking HATE Americanaccents... They all sound like fucking Kermit The Frog and always sound like they are Moaning about EVERY - Fucking Thing!
If the Gyokeres deal goes tits Up... As Rodders said their will be Fucking Riots...
btw: Every report and Comment from Sky and all other reliable media outlets are saying that it was Arteta who "Insisted we go in for Madueke" (More like Maduwanker!)
Bad news chaps. Madueke is completely agreed, with paperwork all completed barring his medical which is taking place over the weekend. Expect Monday to be Madueke day on the .com
Just to rub it in, he’s likely to take the number 10 shirt. A bit of a comedown from Dennis and Özil!

He very obviously did since he was appointed to the board he saw no reason to move him on.

All the evidence suggests it doesn’t it? The Kroenkes know fuck all about football and happily allowed Wenger to run the club as he pleased.
His philosophy has been adopted by Mkll and the Kroenkes are allowing him to carry on in the same self-harming fashion.
