Okay so maybe Messi isn't *in his prime!* But if it's a 2 year contract, his age will be a prime number during it!

This could be a bidding war for the ages

Decent rotation option for Martinelli I guess?

We've also got one of, if not the, highest match day earnings in the league due to a combination of London prices and a shitload of corporate boxes and an entire premium "club level" tier between the upper and lower stands. Now the stadium is pretty much paid off (or at least not a major expense) we're sitting pretty financially.

Especially now all the stupid late Wenger era megaearners are gone.

Think you're around the same as tottenham/liverpool but a fair margin behind man utd

Yeah for a while I know it was #1 but it looks like others have upped their ripoff game and managed to catch or surpass us. Still a good chunk of change though.

Third most important behind Saka and Mmmbop on precontract for next summer surely?

if Harry Kane is on the market for £100m at age 29 then there's no reason that Mbappe would be any less than that at 24

for point of reference, Forest are apparently in for £15m for Anthony Elanga, a player who scored zero goals last season (to replace Jesse Lingard, who also scored zero goals last season)

The big difference is that Mbop isn't just due a huge signing on fee if he waits an extra year, but also misses out on a huge loyalty bonus. I'd fully expect him to expect his next club to make up for that on his signing on fee. That'll in turn limit the fee they'll pay. Equally for PSG, letting him go for any fee now literally saves them paying that to him and then losing him on a free anyway. So they can practically consider that part of the fee.

it's one year, he'll get a private jet to let him do donuts over paris during the week, and he can buy arsenal afterwards to get fully on board with artetas brain/heart philosophy

do it kylian, reveal football for the wretched beast it has become

He'll still be less rich than future Arse owner Matty Flamini. Flamini - Arteta - Edu is the eventual center m... Uh ownership and leadership structure of this great club.

I love Ramsdale, but with 88 goals scored last season I don't think an out and out goalscorer was our big weakness. However we did concede far too many goals. If we can get a better shot stopper who's equal or better with his feet it's a no brainer. Even if just to give him some real competition for a year or two to try to get some growth.

So I guess Golden Glove winning keeper DeGea was the best keeper in the premiership last year?

Emi has been successful and is a good keeper, but doesn't suit the Arsenal style of play. Rams was a definite upgrade for Arse over Leno or Emi. And Raya is a marginal upgrade on Ramsdale which will hopefully push both of them on to be better keepers.

Plus it'll give us the best goalkeeper depth in the league. One less position where an apocalyptic I jury could totally destroy our season.

lol yeah I was thinking let trossard run around up top next time jesus is injured. I have vague memories of him playing there once or twice last season but don't remember how he did or if I imagined it altogether.

He played a few games up top at the tail end of the season and looked pretty decent. He's a better straight replacement for Jesus than Eddie is, as he actually creates for other people and improves the team while Eddie either scores or just stinks everything up. I'm really not a fan.

I hope they've all got 15-20% pay rises baked in, and that Boehly was too stupid to remember what compounding cam do, while wages remain flat.

10 or so million pound a week wasteman who haven't improved since their wonderkid days will be hilarious.

He scored almost as many goals as Lacazette.

but some 'beto' news for everton fans

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/everton

e. £30m is a snip for someone ranked in the top 50% of strikers across Europe's top five leagues in the past 12 months for non-penalty goals pause

It'll be tough, replacing Richarlison's goals!

This news about Sancho being involved with a bad crowd and Ten Hag sending him to train in Holland for a bit last winter to get away from it, reminds me of Ravel Morrison.

Sancho's crowd are just kinda bad at FIFA.

Who's also still in a fraud league.

To be honest, if you aren't playing in England or Saudi Arabia, does it even count as proper football?
