As for Jesus. Not the signing I wanted but I welcome another addition of an experienced PL player to a thin squad. Hopefully he can bring and help instill a winners mentality in some of our snowflake players too.

Patino looks like hes bulked out,hope he kicks on this year.
Good stuff. He looks a class player and my only real criticism of the times I've seen him play was he looked a bit lightweight. Hope he delivers at The Arsenal because this kid has it all in his game so far.
Agreed, was pleased to see this for that reason

The chavs are apparently now interested in Raphinha

Right now I couldn't care less who is bought as a striker, what wingers are brought in or ACMs, fucking Xhaka is the single biggest issue with our team and will remain so as long as he wears the shirt.

Their is a misconception of the role Xhaka plays, he is not our CDM and only really plays that when Party and Elneny aren't on the pitch, he is our CM.

Putting aside his utterly woeful attempts at defending, his idiotic and petty attempts to get sent off every match and his backwards and sideways passing, he is actually supposed to be the focus of the team. The centre point which everything pivots around and yet he starts nothing, creates nothing, and 90% of his forward passes go awry until this is addressed week in week out the same bullshit as happened under Wenger, Emery, Freddie and now Arteta will continue to happen :banghead:

As I said a week or so ago Xhaka needs fucking off before any other plans are made otherwise everything else is pointless......

Amen brother. 8)

With all due respect 265, it baffles me why anyone imagines that Arteta would want rid of Xhaka. There's no evidence of that at all...unless there's transfer news that I'm unaware of, which is perfectly possible...and an abundance of evidence that he considers him to be the fulcrum of our midfield. It's one reason (apart from watching what goes on on the pitch!) that I have no faith at all in Arteta. Any manager that thinks that Xhaka is anything other than a 3rd rate dud needs to be managing Spurs and no one else.

Muzz summed it up in a post a little earlier....with the Swiss duffer in the side, we can't progress. I guarantee you that, barring injury, he'll be in the middle of the park on the opening day of the season. :(

I fear that you are right. Xhaka is going nowhere and that's the one thing that will hold us back

I just appreciate that we are signing players from teams like City that are not at the arse-end of their careers, and COULD actually do well for us.

Could.

🚨 EXCL: Chelsea close to agreeing fee north of £55m with Leeds for Raphinha but not done yet. #CFC now best placed with #LUFC & 25yo as long-term favourites Barcelona can’t afford it at present + Arsenal not currently at required price @TheAthleticUK #AFC



Chelsea and Leeds have reached full agreement for Raphinha! Official bid accepted around £60/65m [add ons included]. Main part of amount to be paid immediately. It’s done between clubs. 🚨🔵 #CFC

Talks now ongoing on player side on personal terms and contract. Boehly, on it.

If that’s the case then we should go all out for Richarlison before Spurs get him.

Its well known we want a centre mid so where's he gonna play , he wont drop partey so xhaka at the very least goes to the bench. Also dont spoil my dream :lol:
