As much as I like Martinelli I’m not sure this says much for our striking ambitions next season…

Only £91... bargain...

1. 14 is free isn't it, and #9 will be free assuming Laca moves on (or knowing us we'll give that to Nketiah to keep him)

1. 2 hasn't been allocated... potentially Saliba as Bellerin expected to return and be flogged, and #6 Gabriel is allegedly being used as bargaining chip with Juve..

Shame it's not away as that Sevilla stadium looks like a mint location for some serious drinking.

"Man City have told Arsenal their asking price for Gabriel Jesus is £55m. The Gunners are surprised by that valuation given he has one year left on his contract, will now decide whether to test City's resolve or look at other options."

@JamesOlley - Twitter.

Some things [at Arsenal] don't look like changing anytime soon.

Arsenal are perceived as vulnerable and always there for the taking, this counts both on and off the field.

Basically we’d be buying Man City Haaland for that figure, so I’d rather buy pretty much anyone but him for that much.

I don't think with the Sheik Masseur monies that they'll care. £55M does feel more than a bit rich to be fair although I saw £35M rumoured and thought with one year left that was pushing it but acceptable.

We paid 73m for Pepe......

[Carl_Manchester]

Given the situation in Europe with strikers the price-tag is not surprising. He is 25 years old and his strike rate per game is approx 1 in 3, whether its for his club or, his country.

He can play as a striker, attacking midfielder, winger, he is mobile, has technical ability and pace.

[Wonderman]

There are 6 other teams in for Jesus (according to his agent so might want a salt check) but allegedly we are the only EPL side interested. Again if it's down to Champs lge or not want to play for us don't bother, if after all that it's down to Citeh taking the piss price wise I don't care just do it we need a player that doesn't "need to adapt to EPL"- we could also offer a swap with 72m Pepe le pew with cash our way of course


Mavs to Stuttgart official- another one with injuries at the wrong time, another what could have been
https://www.arsenal.com/konstantinos-mavropanos-vf...
"Despite his current market value being 15.30m, Arsenal have sold him for a lowly 2.88m. Even though they have added a sell-on clause, it still seems like a bad deal from a financial standpoint." It was part of the salary reducing fire sale so every little helps...

Classy message from Mavs on Twitter:
Arsenal was the first milestone in my career. I learned a lot, I improved as a player and as a person. I made friends and experienced great support. Thanks to everyone at the club and I wish the team success always. @Arsenal


Oh and Bellerin is coming back https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/real-beti... but don't expect him to stay as #2 not allocated in new kit...maybe

Nicolas Pepe is pushing to leave Arsenal this summer and Mikel Arteta is willing to let him go when the window opens.

It'll be the first time he's pushed anything this season, do bugger off, not sure who'd want to pay you though.

[Wonderman]

The confirmed fixtures for broadcast on Sunday will be
Manchester City vs Aston Villa
Liverpool vs Wolves
Brentford vs Leeds.

Neither Arsenal vs Everton or Norwich vs Spurs have been selected to be televised live in the UK with Sky Sports being the only place to watch the above three games.

[Cupramax]

WTF guess it’s hunt the illegal stream then. Glad I’ve just binned Sky.

[Carl_Manchester]

They are all live on peacock so I will be watching on my Apple TV.

Goalrush will be active too so you can watch multiple games live simultaneously on the same telly.

Re: Bellerin, is he really worse than Cedric ? If not then better to have him back. I am pleased for Mav, premier League was just too fast for him.

Indeed we did. Arguably the biggest waste of monies the club has ever spent. However, the guy behind that deal is now long gone so fingers crossed we don't make that mistake again. I have every faith...............

[Glassman]

Is there any reason why match select is no longer a thing on match-day coverage?

[Cupramax]

Sky really are a bunch of kunts, showing neither game but using this advert.

[Carl_Manchester]

The arsenal team that have turned up today is the one we had against man united and then disappeared.

Yeah, but they knew Spurs would walk it into European football
