The Arsenal
Rice will do a good enough job for us, I’m not concerned about him. We’ll get stick about the price but not too worried. Havertz is shyt.

The defence overall I’m super happy about but just need some tweaks.

Olise was right there as Saka cover. I’m down about Timber man, he was settling in great.
he would have to absolutely SUCK for us to get stick for him after the price chelsea paid for their two mids.

Al Nassr are interested in Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, according to Foot Mercato.



Alisson, 30, is reportedly tempted by a potential switch to the Saudi Pro League side. He would join his former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mané after the Senegal international signed earlier this month from Bayern Munich for a fee of £24 million ($30m).



If the Brazil international makes the move, he'd be the fourth player to leave Liverpool this summer for Saudi Arabia -- following Jordan Henderson (Al Ettifaq), Fabinho (Al Ittihad) and Roberto Firmino (Al Ahli.)



It could take a significant offer to persuade manager Jurgen Klopp to part with his shot-stopper, who was voted player of the season ahead of Mohamed Salah for the 2022-23 campaign.



Alisson started for the Reds on Saturday as they drew 1-1 at Chelsea and is contracted at Anfield until the summer of 2027.

Our striking is definitely a worry for me. Do we have a ETA on Jesus yet? All our strikers have the same profile. Jesus, Eddie, Trossard…all non traditional 9s who will come deep/can’t stretch the opposition back line. No one to hold the ball up for us under siege. If we get pinned back we will falter just like late last year.

But my other worry is, we scored a lot of goals last year spread out between way too many players. We’re basically gambling that Saka and Martinelli, and Odegaard will hit those marks again (which would be abnormal to see that level of production spread out between that many players) and hope Rice/Havertz chip in appropriately.

crazy im saying this but i miss granhit xhaka :to:

I’m not even surprised anymore

Is what it is
I can’t believe anyone would want him tarnishing their club. And I know people are gonna say “what about Partey???”

If he had audio footage leaked in the same way, I wouldn’t want him anywhere near Arsenal.

Even with that being said, just on a human level, Greenwood should be dropped. Rape and domestic abuse? He should be exiled for good.

It’s nonsense but I have no issue with handing the keys to Caoimhin :myman: I’ve said for a few years an uncomfortable decision has to be made at some point and Caoimhin is that good while believing Ali is the best in the world :wow:


That oil money better be reinvested if it were to happen :ufdup:

The club my cousin's 8 year old daughter play's at is trying to charge around $800+ (total) for the competitive team next season.
:mjlol:

That's Canada Soccer for you ,charging people extortionate fees to help fight their money issues. They are such a fukking disgrace. It won't be long until were ranked 100th again by FIFA. :beli:
