According to @86_longo, #Arsenal have offered €28m for Gabriel & are now in pole position to sign him. Lille have a gentlemen's agreement with Napoli but that is about to expire. Head to head between the two clubs with #Arsenal now the favourites. https://t.co/To6v9RxtEf

Remember the last time we nicked a signing from napoli?

Reminds me of the story about arnold Schwarzenegger planting a story that he was up for the dud film, Stop or My Mom will Shoot so that Stallone would do his best to get it before him

Bournemouth selling their keeper for 19 million shows the value we have in our two. Think we have no choice but to cash in on one of ours (unless Leno is fucked?).

I saw he married that absolute stunner at the weekend, lucky bastard.
You can’t have two £30m keepers in a squad and keep them both happy.

When Leno returns from injury Arteta / Edu have a major decision to make that could strengthen other areas of the team when funds are hard to come by as most of our squad are not going to raise too much.

Was Martinez’ run of impressive games a flash in the pan like Manninger’s during the 98 run in ?
Why has he taken this long to get a chance, he was out on loan for years and years beforehand.

I mentioned before that maybe Martinez thrives on no supporters.

I would suggest that for a large part of his time with us he didn't fit Wenger's vision, and we know how good Wenger was in the latter years at finding good keepers.... as for under Emery, he bought/was involved in the deal for Leno, it's hardly surprising Leno took centre stage under Emery and when Freddie/Mikel took charge Leno was about the only relatively consistent thing in the team.

I'm not saying Martinez is the real deal but nothing he has shown in the games since Leno's injury suggests he is worse than Cech, Almunia or Flappy so why he was out of favour during the period is baffling, my brother-in-law is a Reading supporter and said he played well for them in every match he played last season and they should have tried to buy him.

The Telegraph say #Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille. The club are believed to have agreed terms in principle for the 22-year-old Brazilian centre-half who is in demand across Europe with Napoli – in particular. https://t.co/B8SvpeJlAd

I'm putting this here cos we are consistently linked with him

He is the only player alive that would make ramsey and diaby seem to be the most durable players ever :roll: A perma crock and it doesnt surprise me that he would catch co-vid, and if ever TB or scabies comes back again, I wouldnt bet against him catching them too :roll: :oops: :oops:
He sounds like a character from Carry on in the jungle

Napoli ‘intend to go all the way’ to sign Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, regardless of Gabriel Magalhães’ decision. Arsenal have proposed Sokratis to Napoli in order to ‘green light’ their signing of Gabriel. [@AlfredoPedulla exclusive] #afc https://t.co/g88NFI18IX
