Lad earlier made a really good shout on Robinson but I feel like Miguel Gutierrez is the obvious choice. Really good LB nearly joined Madrid the last couple summers and he's the type of signing that obviously isn't that superior to MLS that he completely shuts him out at LB but would certainly do better in certain games when we need more of an attacking edge to break down teams. Not expensive either
That Jérémy Jacquet link might be a combination of safe guarding against a future where Saliba leaves, a worry about Calafiori's fitness, a bit of both or completely made up. Wouldn't surprise you though with how this club under this manager has emphasized defensive signings. But right now it makes zero sense because Mosquera coming in and already having so many minutes under his belt at such a young age means he'll be leaned upon heavily. As for Calafiori well if you're so concerned about his fitness you get in a LB asap rocky because you're asking for trouble playing him there
Yep. Had a good career but he was a diving twat against us all the time. I still remember that dive in that Conte season they pipped us to top 4. He rolled around like Cedric elbowed him.
Remember when he did that snidey from behind challenge which resulted in Andre Gomes getting his leg snapped by Aurier? And then balled his eyes out and garnered loads of sympathy.
"Thomas Partey set to join Villarreal as free agent. 32yo midfielder available after Arsenal contract expired + signing for #VillarrealCF on 2yr deal; #UCL football important factor. Ghana int’l has completed medical ahead of proposed move"
I am all for innocent until proven guilty. I haven't assumed guilt at anytime. I just wanted him far away from Arsenal due to the constant speculation..
But which dude who has a different type of career gets offered a new job with rape charges on his head? You think you and I would get the same if we were accused of that?
It is just the fact that what he does is a rare and highly skillfull trade so teams/companies will take a risk.
This is grim. It isn't like he is barely surviving either. He is a millionaire. It is just another reminder of how the world works. One rule for the majority and another for others.
Habeesha with all due respect you’ve convicted Partey way back from the very beginning.
Dunno if you’ve been around athletes or famous people… these nasty Groupie chicks are like hens to feeding time flashing their junk in the face of these men. And now the new lottery is to claim sexual assault and force a settlement ..
I stand by Partey until the evidence proves him guilty. And likewise you’re equally free to your opinion and point of view
Innocent until proven guilty is (rightly) a legal concept that determines whether someone should be imprisoned without trial etc, it’s not something that dictates that no one should have an opinion or that the circumstances shouldn’t be weighed…the guy had 3 different women who made separate allegations about separate occasions without knowing each other, and provided enough evidence for the CPS to bring charges - obviously he should not be imprisoned or legally sanctioned before a trial has taken place, but there is a body of evidence that points to, at the very least, being a total creep, and is not someone who should be showered with millions, not due to any commitment to innocence before the law but solely because it is expedient and they think he’ll kick a ball well
Good lord. You just went on a tangent with out answering my question. You and I wouldn't get the same. We would be fired and no one would want to hire us.
What I want is for corporations and companies to stop bending the rules when it suits them. This is the same thing with billionaires who bend the rules even if they murdered someone.
If a normal guy can't get a new job with rape charges even if he wasn't convicted, he shouldn't either.
The only thing that separates him is the fact that he can make Villareal money because of his unique skill set.
Being a footballer is a privilege as well as having the skill. He should be afforded that privilege when he has cleared his name. If an accused guy in any other job can't afford to even feed his family, the privilege shouldn't be a given right. That is true innocent until proven guilty. Being treated like everyone would be.
Dude with all due respect I’m not sure if you have the game or money that Partey has. Maybe you do … the point is that Partey is a target and a mark for women who want to make a quick buck. So unless you have similar cache that comparison doesn’t hold
Innocent until proven guilty, Diss, not the other way around.
Partey is Ghanaian citizen who not employed in UK and police waited a few years to press charges until after his contract had expired. If it's such a clear cut case why did the filth wait until he free to leave the country and not charge while he still resided in UK, they are using innuendo to punish Partey because there no actual evidence.
The crown prosecution service doesn’t have a strong record in these cases.
They delayed charges for so many years after the last police interrogation in 2022. That actually gave the accused person, who has means, to gather information to defend himself properly in court.
People forget it’s not only the police that have investigators, people with means have access to better investigators, usually retired police.
When the case goes to court, it won’t be the ones sided stories that have made the rounds.
Public perception is akin to witch hunting. The gold standard is a court process where the scale is equalized for both sides.
Really Harvey Weinstein should have been allowed to continue to make movies and more money while his courtcase play out too. My thing about people like you and I hope it never happens but you would quickly change your tune if something was to happen to a daughter, a sister, your wife or your mother. It's always very easy to have these braindead takes when it doesn't happen to you or someone you know. Braindead take being doing nothing while he was arrested multiple times and knowing what he was being investigated for.
It’s why women have been running wild and ruining men’s lives. One of the biggest Me Too mouths had to be called out by her younger male co star who she had sex with when he was a teen and instead of acknowledging her hypocrisy she deflected and blamed the trauma on Harvey Weinstein.
We just live in a Society where no one tells women the truth or ever holds them accountable… plus size women equals body positivity. No you’re a fat ass with HBP and diabetes around the corner.
Could go on and on but the beta men here are tone deaf .. one day I hope they fall into the Me Too trap. Watch them sing a different tune
Refer to my previous comment. That's all I have to say. You sound like your repeating the same thing over and over again like reading from a card certain types hand out. Again if it happened to someone close to you you'd be talking differently. Hypocrite like that.
You’re the emotional internet moralist who wants people to walk out into the wilderness and not come back before they’ve been able to get their day in court
When you’re smacked down so easily with superior arguments, you start the cheap…if it were you.
If you had a daughter and a son
If you had sister and daughter
If you had aunts and uncles.
If you had male cousins and female cousins
If you had nieces and nephews
…you would understand the importance of balance when you approach situation such as this
Rape is a horrific crime, but accusation of rape has to be proven in court before you pass your moral judgment.
One day, you could be on the opposite end, or someone you love or know could be accused of and you you damn well will want him/her to get their benefit of doubt.
Again refer to my previous statement if it happened to you you'd be speaking differently. It's literally just tribalism that has you like this. I never seen you talk this way about (insert name of rich and famous person accused of rape) before but it's an Arsenal player he's African (you're African too right) and all of a sudden it's oh give this guy his day in court. No one's saying the opposite of that just that you don't keep playing a person accused of that and it's usually smart to get rid of them and not offer them a new contract. But as you were
Interesting article on the manager that achieved most of his success at two of most corrupt clubs ever -
---------------
"The headlines that he was contemplating a 15-year break from the game didn’t entirely reflect what he said – “I don’t know how long I’ll stop for: a year, two years, three years, five, 10, 15, I don’t know. But I will leave after this spell with City because I need to stop and focus on myself, on my body” – but his weariness was clear.
But management is exhausting. It was striking in the interview that the element Guardiola picked out as most debilitating was having opposing fans chanting he was going to be sacked in the morning, the sort of mundane banter that it is easy to assume just washes off managers as experienced and successful as Guardiola. Beyond that, though, it is useful to be reminded just how tough a job management is and it may be getting even tougher."
Just bumped into a site "Latte firm" and an interesting, indepth analysis of our "Horseshoe" problem in attack, Odegaard /Rce and Martinelli, current &expected Arteta system vs player issues, how Gyokeres, Eze, new LWs might fit in, in game tactical switches, and. roles & issues of fullbacks....
I wanted to post that here 🤣....of this our squad then the solution as I've always said is rice as rcm and odegaard as lcm...or we get a new left back and move Myles to lcm where he should actually play....his through balls and zipped passes are gold.Alternatively Saka as an attacking midfielder with madueke and martinelli on the flanks plus a rice zubi pivot would work perfectly.
Understand Arsenal have made initial contact to show interest in French 19 year old centre back Jérémy Jacquet.
Arsenal like Jacquet who recently signed new deal at Rennes until June 2029.
He’s on the list as option in case of exits this month… or eventually for 2026.
_______________________
I assume, he'd be Kiwior replacement if we sell him. If we like him enough we should probably sign him regardless and loan him for a year there like we did with Saliba.
Why dont we sell martinelli and trossard and use that money for Isak? I do not like Rodrygo . I think he flatters to deceive and is inconsistent
Talented yes but flits in and out of games and seasons. Has that little pussy vibe where he won’t fancy the cold winter and hard tackles but will show up at home if the weather is nice. Motivation issues
No no no.
Go for Isak as hard as we can
Martinelli zinchenko vieira trossard Lakonga Nelson. There is £120m in fees there even ata discount and definitely £500k in wages with change
Isak as our first choice left forward Saka as our right with Jesus Madueke Nwaneri and Dowman as options from wide
Even Gyokeres can play wide with Havertz through the middle at times
Isak declared he wants to leave. Newcastle are actively shopping for Sesko. If they get him, they’ll sell Isak to Pool who will come back with improved offer.
When this happens get ready for rap to unleash an absolute mother-load.
Agree.But think he’ll do k in at Old Toilet who will pay well over the odds for fee,wages & agent as per normal.And seeing as Sesko & agent appear to only be interested in the ‘ readies’ & a release clause I’d say it’s a done deal.
Agree 100%, diving, cheating twat. Good riddance.

Just saw a short clip of Heung-min Son getting clapped and hugged off the field, he in tears.
A worthy enemy. I wish him well.
If you do not hate that cheating bastard with every fibre of your being you do not understand the hatred we have for spurs.
He cheated numerous times to deny us.
He fell over holding and got him sent off to stop us getting top 4
He fell over a roling ball to get a pen and draw 2.2 with us at the Emirates
He missed the city 1 on 1 on purpose.
Fuck him.
We would have won the league had that twat scored 1v1 vs City's GK.
Nice guy and all but I'll never forgive him.
Yep. Had a good career but he was a diving twat against us all the time. I still remember that dive in that Conte season they pipped us to top 4. He rolled around like Cedric elbowed him.
Remember when he did that snidey from behind challenge which resulted in Andre Gomes getting his leg snapped by Aurier? And then balled his eyes out and garnered loads of sympathy.
Exactly how fell over him. Disgusting cheat.
Fuck spurs.
Exactly this the wanker and his shit diving fuck that guy.

"Thomas Partey set to join Villarreal as free agent. 32yo midfielder available after Arsenal contract expired + signing for #VillarrealCF on 2yr deal; #UCL football important factor. Ghana int’l has completed medical ahead of proposed move"
he got me too'd that's all
some folks still believe these gold diggers' stories lolz
The law is the law.
He will get his day in court and will face his accusers. If he’s found guilty, I hope he gets the maximum punishment possible.
I do hope he gets an expeditious trial process. The said charges date back to 2020/21. Try him and let him get to defend himself.
Until then, ‘public perception”’ aka public witch hunt, shouldn’t outweigh legality
Come on diss.
I am all for innocent until proven guilty. I haven't assumed guilt at anytime. I just wanted him far away from Arsenal due to the constant speculation..

I stand by Partey until the evidence proves him guilty. And likewise you’re equally free to your opinion and point of view
So you want him to live like he’s been convicted [by you and your kind], go under a rock, cover himself in ashes ….before he’s had his day in court.
You don’t believe in innocent before proven guilty
It’s not just a sticker you have on you fridge or some marketing phrase.
If you believe in the concept of innocent until proven guilty, you wouldn’t be talking that nonsense about “public perception”.
They’ve charged him. He has his team of QCs, the government has to release all the evidence they’ve used to charge him to his attorneys for discovery.
He goes to court. If he.s guilty, then you can say whatever you want.
Innocent until proven guilty is (rightly) a legal concept that determines whether someone should be imprisoned without trial etc, it’s not something that dictates that no one should have an opinion or that the circumstances shouldn’t be weighed…the guy had 3 different women who made separate allegations about separate occasions without knowing each other, and provided enough evidence for the CPS to bring charges - obviously he should not be imprisoned or legally sanctioned before a trial has taken place, but there is a body of evidence that points to, at the very least, being a total creep, and is not someone who should be showered with millions, not due to any commitment to innocence before the law but solely because it is expedient and they think he’ll kick a ball well
Care to comment more on the “etc”, after you wrote that .. “ legal concept that determines whether someone should be imprisoned without trial etc”
It actually means that the said individual shouldn’t be treated as guilty in any way. You left out the “etc” for your own convenience.
Good lord. You just went on a tangent with out answering my question. You and I wouldn't get the same. We would be fired and no one would want to hire us.
What I want is for corporations and companies to stop bending the rules when it suits them. This is the same thing with billionaires who bend the rules even if they murdered someone.

Here comes another one who doesn’t believe in innocent until proven guilty.
You don’t have the full facts, you haven’t seen any evidence. You have only had an announcement of charges
…still yet you want the accused to be convicted by you, before he’s been in court
If the case against the said player was so strong and compelling
If he was such a present and clear danger, why is out on bail?
Why is he allowed to freely travel.
Why’s the Spanish government and the EU, allowing him to freely travel and sign contracts that will bring him into close proximity with women?
Could it be that they know something that you don’t know?
Innocent - until - proven - guilty
The last footballer they charged, remanded and jailed was exonerated and is back playing professional football.
The CPS’s indictment is not a guilt sentence
Think for yourself Marko,
It’s unbelievable.
So many Beta Men here.

You’re sounding like a broken record now.
You don’t believe in the core principle so you can keep on.
I won’t engage in the circular conversation.
Again refer to my previous statement and watch you flip flop if it ever happens to someone you love.
These Laliga clubs don't give a fuck about public perception. First Greenwood and now Partey.
What is the public perception of the woman that took everything away from eboue?
The perception of Simps and Beta men. Yes they don’t care … and thank goodness
Lol, Anyone who uses terms like Beta male and simp is a funny guy to me. How old are you christian?

Maybe we do a swap deal with Fulham for antoinee Robinson.....God knows we need an overlapping lb
That is actually a great idea if the price was reasonable. He is class. But last I heard Fulham value him at £50m.
Hey now that's not a bad idea
Linked with another CB...not a LB but another CB...I dunno I just don't know
That’s Mikel’s modus operandi: henceforth, a round hole must never be filled by a round peg.
