I will have to eat humble pie if this Rice deal goes through, I didn't think we would be in at the kind of numbers being talked about. |

Hi Soc, I think Man Utd would be in the mix if the Qataris take over. There’s probably not enough time for that though, thankfully. Let’s hope he goes to Madrid. It would make next year’s La Liga really interesting too. |

RM has always been the one most strongly linked to him. I wanted to use him as a generalization that there are only 5 clubs the best of the best consider these days. If Man Utd get back to challenging they'll re-enter that group. They were for a while, now they aren't. Liverpool aren't quite there. I don't see them winning a fight for the next Ronaldo or Messi over either Spanish giants and if they matched an offer, I am not sure they wry anyone from going to PSG or BM. |

Bayern have pulled out of the race for Rice. Supposedly the increased cost has made them pull out but I also think Rice has decided he wants us. This one really does look like it’s happening |

He's from Greater London, right? We're the best team in London. I'm sure Wilshere has been chatting him up. His family can come to see him play, CL football. Title contenders. It's just what WH will demand, the player has to be very keen on a move anyone would guess. |

I wasn't sure about something and I looked it up to confirm. This is the longest spell we have gone without winning the title since our first title in 1930. The previous longest spells were '53 to '71 to '80. Does this spell seem worse with regards to light at the end of the title or did '71 to '89 seem longer? Or perhaps'53 to '71? |

There is a transparent seeding system that takes into account that the Scottish league is very weak. So what exactly is corrupt about it? Your last sentence is mind-boggling considering that the state of US politics and the continuing attraction of Trump! |

Europa league performances still count to co-efficient points, so actually our runs to the final and semi final in all likelihood achieved us more co-efficient points than teams getting knocked out early in the champions league. We're not ranked as the 16th best team in europe by co-efficient, only 16th based on teams that qualified for this years CL |

Sorry Rich, the Europa league is a lesser competition. Our league position is far worse. The old European cup method is the best, where it was only league champions. I understand money comes into play but if we are going to be honest, lets just be honest and admit its rigged to favor the bigger, more popular clubs. |

So John Hollins has fallen off the perch. Never really understood why we signed him because he seemed to be at the end of his career (or so I thought) and he was sooo Chelsea. However he was a very solid performer who became a first team regular. He actually turned into something of a crowd favourite. |

We’re reported by David Ornstein to be very interested in Kai Havertz and are preparing a proposal! That’s very interesting if true. I’m sure that won’t be met with universal glee from Arsenal fans. But to look at the positives, he played in and out of a basket case Chelsea team - what might he do in our clear and defined structure? He’s still only 24, before his move to Chelsea he was one of the most sought after young talents in world football. The downside is his premier league form, giving any money to Chelsea and what actually is his best position? |

| Post subject: | Re: Supporters Forum |
On Havertz it’s also worth noting Chelsea really need to sell players before June 30 to meet all sorts of financial regulations. Maybe Arsenal spot a chance to get a bargain as nobody is going to do chelsea any favours and over pay for their players as they are desperate to sell before they can buy. The squad is hugely bloated. |

At Chelsea he’s mostly started up front. It would be as much of a shock for us to sign him as would chelsea to let him go. |

Pretty much chimes with my memory of him, some players you develop a grudging respect for after they make the move, somehow with him it was just impossible to dislike him. Probably because he came across as a very likeable individual with no ego. Completely different to the majority of that Chelsea vintage. |

I think that’s a very decent punt because nothing will happen before Monday because of the England friendlies then you have the period where everyone knows he’s signed but there’s no announcement because of marketing. If we are still negotiating with a bunch of spivs like Karen Brady and David Sullivan does it make sense chucking offers at Chelsea for havertz if it’s not yet been agreed so they know we have more money to spend. Wishful thinking but they must know the framework of the deal surely to do that. |

Thanks DHD and Top Gun for your advice regarding season ticket renewals. In the end I decided to take a chance with the auto renewal system (I was worried I would be charged twice if I bought them directly) and lo and behold, I've just received an email saying my tickets have succesfully been renewed. Now they have my cash the Rice and Caciedo deals can finally be paid for. |

Enjoy the new season Hey if we don’t get Rice we can’t even throw our season ticket books at the dugout in disdain anymore and lobbing my iPhone 14 pro max is less attractive and doesn’t carry the symbolic message ! |
