Wonder how many Premier League clubs don’t have a mascot. Mind you, I always thought mascots should have some sort of link to the club’s history be it the crest, stadium, location, nickname or whatever. Like Stamford the Lion at Chelsea, Filbert Fox at Leicester, Monty Magpie at Newcastle, Gully (a seagull) at Brighton, Wolfie the Wolf at Wolverhampton and Chirpy the Cockerel (or Chicken) at Tottenham.

I never saw what a dinosaur had to do with Arsenal. Suppose we’ve had a few managers or directors who were dinosaurs.

Harry the Hornet at Watford.

People are taking the mascot stuff too seriously

Btw I’ve always been suspicious about someone who would take a job like that.

I would hope they’d do CRB checks to ensure they don’t give the job to a convicted paedophile. But apart from that it’s a totally unskilled job. All the post holder has to do is be willing to put on a dopey green dinosaur costume, let Junior Gunner members score penalties against him in a fake goal on the side of the pitch at half time, and be an observable prat when the teams go out on the pitch.

What else is there?

250k a week. He must be mustard right ?

Metro reporting we’re signing an 18 year old Swedish forward. Sensible to buy cheap youngsters with potential.

Sorry to say I've never heard of him until today. Don't think he's played a first team game in Sweden yet, so I'll assume it's an academy signing for now. He's a 6ft3 striker who's supposedly got good technique and is really good with his back to the goal.

Always fun to have a swede in the youth system to follow. Most of you probably don't remember Kristoffer Olsson, he was a central midfielder that was here from age 16-19 I think. Only had one league cup appearance for the club, but is now playing in Russia, and is one of the best players in the Swedish national team.

Saliba possibly on loan to Fulham?

Sky has been saying for some time now that we activated Partey's release clause.

See the rolling banner at the bottom of the page.

Now showing as breaking news..........

A midfield three of Xhaka, Partey and Ceballos should allow us to dominate most matches.

In other news, WHU and Jack Wilshere have agreed to cancel his contract by mutual agreement. Assuming it's cause he's struggled with injuries for so long.
All the best to him from now on.

Reports that Walcott is returning to Southampton. It’s gone 10.00 pm so the transfer window closes in less than an hour. If the Partey signing is finalised, wonder if Arsenal are employing their official website news staff to confirm it tonight? They should do considering the size of the worldwide fan base.

Or perhaps it’s not happening and Top Gun has wasted his money on the shirts?

"The Cottagers have had a woeful start to the season, conceding 100 goals in four Premier League games."

Partey confirmed by Arsenal on twitter.

I don’t get the impression that Ceballos is a number 10 type. Partey is box to box. I can’t second guess what Arteta will do but if I was to take a punt I would say Partey would probably be a replacement for Xhaka or ceballos in the side and we would probably keep the same formation this season

Apparently he was at London Colney a month ago to sort out all the particulars. Interesting, like despite all the furores and uncertainty it was always planned. Interesting the way these things happen

Went to Ghana once, Accra , probably the friendliest people you could ever meet. Nice to have another African midfield warrior onboard

Well some of the pundits are looking at the keeper and suggested he does not inspire confidence in the defence. I think it is a little bit of that and I would not discount that tiredness after 2 big seasons of shutting down other teams may not have caught up with them.

I know!
We are the friendliest people you could ever meet!
Good to see our compatriot and fellow Ghanaian joining The Arsenal!

I've still got my 2010 Ghana scarf. Bloody Suarez!

Welcome to Arsenal Partey.
He flys out Tues or Weds to Africa to play in a world friendly match against Mali on Thursday.

So I watched a bit of that sky sports transfer deadline and was subjected to Harry Redknapp slouching in his chair tipping Tottenham to stage an upset and win the title. The prospect of a Mourinho led Tottenham winning the title is so horrifying I can’t even bring myself to belittle it.

They ‘announced’ Partey for what it’s worth and declared it as proof Kreonke was ‘open for business’. They obviously haven’t heard the news of letting gunnersauraus go to offset the outlay...

Do you think Harry will report his income from his appearance on this show

Don’t be silly his dog deals with all his tax affairs
