Not a hope Martinelli is getting sold, you lot have lost the fucking plot again
With the winking emoji I'm not sure if you are being serious or not, but IF you do believe that there isnt a hope of martinelli being sold, I am genuinely interested to know why you believe that
Because I think he's going to be an integral part of the team next season, Laca is out the gap and and hopefully Willlan will follow suit - fingers fucking crossed - which is going to give him even more game time. I think he was involved in all of the last 4 or 5 games of the season and with those two players going he will be start more/most games next season or so I believe because ..... well, that's just, like, my opinion, man...
Rob Holding is the best centre half we have imo. I wouldn't like to see him sold.
Pre covid I think gabriel showed himself to be the best, but post covid he was shocking, so it all depends what gabriel we have next season.
Mari has never convinced me tbh, but again he is an arteta man so I doubt if he is going anywhere anytime soon
Saliba ?? God knows, and the rest of us will never know as long as the basque c.unt remains in charge. His club career in france has been really promising to date (standout player for Nice last season), but the premier league is another step up and we wont know if he is up to it unless he gets a proper chance
I suppose it's what is wanted from our centre halves. Nobody was more dominant in the air than Holding last season but the rumours are suggesting we're looking at ball players. Then again Gabriel and Mari hardly excel at that.
The signing of Ben White is expected to be followed by that of Anderlecht midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, with player sales to take priority afterwards. Mikel Arteta & Edu are focused on adding Premier League proven players to the squad. [@ChrisWheatley_] #afc https://t.co/wPuFGcsAbe
By signing someone from Anderlecht
For the recired, Lukaku, Kompany , Tielemans came from Anderlecht amongst others.
I have no idea if this guy is any good or not, I was just pointing out that he isn’t a premier league proven player given he’s never played in the premier league!
It was more a comment on the nonsense that gets posted on Twitter as opposed to a judgement on potential signings

Our only way back to any kind of competitiveness is to pick up future stars from under the radar. This guy from Anderlecht looks a prospect. I hope it works out.

Imo holding is our best centre half by some distance, of course he's not perfect but no player is and compared to the others he's close to it.
Gabriel is quite shocking, pre covid he was average, post covid shite, even before covid his first touch was so shocking his second touch was a tackle.
Slow, I mean he's so slow I'm quite shocked he managed to catch covid.
What we are seeing presently is how much the club was rotten to the core under Wenger. The guy was a myth. Financially prudent? Fuck no. Promoter of youth. Do me a favour. Look around Europe and what do you see? Talent we got rid of for nowt or for pennies. Gnabry at Munich, Donyell Malen at PSV, Glen Kamara at Rangers, Eze at Palace, Josh DaSilva at Brentford (will impress next season), Rene-Adelaide at Lyon, Ismael Bennacer at Milan, Yunus Musah at Valencia. Even Martinez at Villa. A joke of a decision that one.
The money we have wasted on wages and fees for shit is one thing. The talent we have let walk out of the door is scandalous.
Brighton are playing hardball with Arsenal over Ben White and demanding £50million plus add-ons. Arsenal, whose first bid was £40m, are discussing a potential offer of £45m plus £5m in add-ons. But Brighton still insist they want even more. [@CharlieWyett]

Gotta say BP7 - Firstly I agree with your assessment of wenger and secondly I am impressed with your knowledge of where the (once ) Arsenal youth have gone and are - Well Played and

Gnabry was brilliant for us and to make it work Wenger had to ship Theo off but Theo was a Wenger favourite. Defenders of Wenger will say in hindsight we should have kept Gnabry but how was Wenger to know? Well the answer is no hindsight was needed as Gnabry was displaying the cutting edge Theo lacked even though he was only around 19 or 20.
We are always to slow to move players and give chances to worthy replacements. Xhaka is another that must be sold this transfer window. Right now Xhaka is just a drag on Emile Smith Rowe.
According to @sportmediaset, the agreement for Xhaka's transfer to Roma is now close. As soon as Switzerland are out of Euro 2020, Roma will be free to close the deal. The distance with Arsenal is minimal & with the player's ok, the agreement will be found"https://t.co/SW70rRhf84
