No way is he a goal every 2 games striker. You can look at minutes played but it's almost pointless. 16 league goals in 5 seasons at Arsenal. Great work-rate but ultimately an injury prone player who doesn't really score much.

We are supposedly interested in Yacine Ibrahim. Some interesting players available for free according to this:

I nominate Nasri - would love to see his welcome back to the club. Before we are inundated with posts - I don't really mean it.

Media saying...Barca are offering us Malcom on a season loan with an option to buy.

Zaha had an ok year but don't think he's worth $70m and no-one else appears to be interested. Didn't think that much of him in previous years either as he seemed to be a cross between Walcott and the Ox with little end product. Marginal improvement year on year but nothing outstanding.

I'm ok for Arsenal to keep trotting out the $45m budget line because it may help stop clubs adding a Premier League tax to our bids. Whether it's true or not remains to be seen but I hope we're not going to be sold the "Youth for the future" *%^@ again.

I'm ok with bringing through young players but we need a solid foundation of committed experience to hold the team together when the going gets tough.

Underwhelming so far and if Özil and Mustafi are still Arsenal players next season then I'm going to puke.

This is a classic example of a brand name being lazy. They get someone to create an app that probably has some value. But they then fail to put in place moderators to ensure that what is published is appropriate. I am not sure that Arsenal should not take some legal action against them over this. This has embarrassed our brand name and caused damage to the clubs reputation. Time for our club to start stepping up in the commercial area.

Hope this is true

You might as well criticise manufacturers of writing paper then and make them responsible for what is actually written on it.

The problem is the scarily large minority who seem to be mentally deranged. It is worrying to be made aware that such people are all around us.

Wishing the forum a very happy 4th of July celebration. I know all of you are in the backyard having a bbq right now.

I'm obviously trolling and being naughty having a bit of fun. The disclaimer are for those that take things way too seriously. Thankfully the ones without a sense of humor I can't see.

Interesting article on that here : https://paininthearsenal.com/2019/07/04 ... nt-malcom/

Ospina has joined Napoli. New GK or sufficent to go with Martinez, Iliev or Macey? Think we can get away with a relatively inexperienced 2nd GK.

So an international goalkeeper aged 30 is worth 3.1mil or have we been suckered again.

I understand what you’re getting at Gaz. But I’m just pleased to see the back of him, whether or not we should have got a bit more in the transfer fee. I’d have more confidence in a 90 year old confined to a wheelchair reaching a cross into the box than I would with Ospina. Good riddance to him.

Always thought he was just okay. Our defense has tendered to make most keepers look nervous and unsure. But his ability on crosses did look dodgy.

However did you know (from Wikpedia) that
"earned him a place on the FIFA Ballon d'Or longlist for the 2015" and he played 70 times for the club. Given we only paid 3mil for him I am not sure what you expected.

Well the 2014/15 season was Ospina’s first at the club. He made 22 starts in all competitions with 1 sub appearance. He made fewer appearances in the league than Szczesny, with Szczesny also being selected for the FA Cup final when Ospina was on the bench. If your second choice keeper can get on the long list for the Ballon d’Or, then it must be a bloody long list. Do semi-decent players from a Barnet Sunday League pub team have a chance of getting on it?

I'm just catching up on Monday's Arseblog Arsecast and they're explaining the state of our finances. Man, we are in such a mess. If we don't get CL this year, we could be in big trouble for a few seasons. We're getting pulled away from the other clubs in the top 6 financially.

I am actually not a fan of the holiday for a myriad of reasons.

Anyway, interesting article about Barca and Malcom. They usually get the best of us in transfer deals.

and he played a big part in our FA Cup Final win over Chelsea.

If you found that depressing, I would advise you to avoid Swiss Ramble’s analysis. I hadn’t realised how poorly run the business side of the club became under Gazidis.
