Ballers...I put numbers on the boards

Bacon Terrorist posted:

I’m sure this is every club but god drat the Facebook comments on the official Arsenal announcements about Ospina and Campbell’s departures are just :psyduck:

The same when Jeff Reine-Adelaide left, I would understand if they went to Juve or somewhere good but Jesus the majority are going to clubs no one ever heard of because they’re that bad, fair enough Ospina to Napoli but I genuinely think he just isn’t suited to the EPL. Can’t wait for us to flog Connor Brammal and someone to bemoan how he was the best defender at the club.

What was their reasoning? Campbell played 20 odd games in 7 years and was mostly on loan. While on loan, he only scored more than 5 league goals in 1 season and that was only 8 and surely Ospina would have been 3rd choice keeper now?

Campbell became something of a cult hero a couple years ago because he came in during an injury crisis and was refreshingly direct and energetic. Some people mistook hard work for talent though and have been clamoring for his return ever since.

No clue why anyone would be disappointed to see Ospina go, it's probably because our fans are dumb as poo poo.

Social media is bad and Arsenal fans are especially broke-brained by it. Arsenal FanTV exists for a reason.

"Arsenal Fan TV" no longer exists mate after Arsenal got uppity about their name being used on an outlet full of pissing and moaning lol

(It got renamed to some acronym that I forget now, AFCTV perhaps)

There are a sizable number of fans who think Ospina is a great keeper, and the best one we've had since at least Mad Jens. Does anyone have a copy of the DSM-5 handy to help figure it out?

Schalke's sporting director confirmed that they only signed Hamza Mendyl from Lille after he was unable to sign at Arsenal as LB cover for Monreal and Kolasinac, because he was denied a work permit, so I guess we tried at least.

Rakitic got a raise from Barca so the PSG move (they were thinking of paying his buyout) is unlikely, which I guess also means the Pogba deal becomes even more unlikely
