Almost certain he’s a goner. We will finish 6th if we’re lucky looking at the fixtures, and he’ll have a clause if we don’t get in CL. Shambles from top to bottom

Talks well. Poor bloke’s got no chance. Big semi final and this is the squad he gets lumped with. Majority of Arsenal’s bench walks into this team.

Maybe I was harsh on cbs as, as others have said, there doesn’t seem to be loads knocking about. The Levi injury has really hurt. Perhaps sticking with one pairing would help build confidence. Attackers wise, I really don’t think the left wingers or strikers are at the required level to compete near the top. And that cost us between 150-200m just this summer. With Delap’s injuries, we literally have no forwards he trusts. Pedro is not a number 9, which is why struggles. But it’s that or the Sunderland loanee, so I can’t fault Meresca for turning to Pedro.

I am by no means saying he is perfect, far from it. But, and it’s a big but in my mind, the squad as a whole is very mid table. Outside of palmer, James and the cm’s (Estavao is 18 so discounting him a little), the quality of player is just sooo average. I could name 15-20 wingers in the premier league that I think are better than the likes of Garnacho and Gittens. And don’t get me started on the cb and striker levels. So for that reason, I think Meresca is doing a pretty solid job. Not mind blowing stuff but probably just above where we ought to be based on the proven talent available in the team. Doesn’t mean I’m a fan of his though. But until we go and buy a top striker, cb and gk - this is just where we are… depressing

Bayern have no intention of buying him that’s why they wouldn’t throw in an obligation. If he and Bayern want each other - pay the f up imo. Otherwise he’s our player. I reckon he’d be fine in a few weeks and might have a point to prove. How many games did he expect to play over Kane anyway.

Wish we’d got him. Loan with option would have been ideal

Making a point to directors that the squads f**ked

Squad depth is looking absolutely shocking right now. One striker left and he’s more of a number 10. No game changers in bench. What a mess these directors have created

This. It’s PR and nothing more imo. I’d love to be wrong but the Brighton loan tells you everything we need to know. we’re obviously more skint than any of us realise. Just don’t think our directors are any good - not at just talent IQ, but negotiating. Arsenal just got one of Europe's top left cb’s on loan with an ‘option’ to buy. What a deal that would have been for us with Levi out. It’s a really deflating end to the window tbh. I personally don’t feel we’ve done enough for top 4 let alone a prem challenge. Spurs, look a lot stronger than last season. We’re at best on par from last season. I’d probably even keep Jackson at this point

Losing this guy to spurs is pretty bloody annoying and embarrassing. Especially as we’ve decide to use funds on bloody Garnacho, who no one wants here!

I think we should just get in Guehi Knows the club, is a good leader, experienced - above average player - in the league

Sounds like we’ll be starting season without a sponsor. surely sponsors want their logo all over the fans shirts, can’t help the negotiating position can it once season starts and fans have already bought shirts

Where you seeing this

Could the same be said for Simons?

Can’t we just throw him into the Simmons deal? Going to be pretty annoyingly large squad again the way it’s going

Wages. Same reason we don’t target Nico Williams etc. Tier 1 talent is not where we’re shopping. And even when we manage to find a gem like Santos, we’re desperate to turn a profit on them, because we are unable to shift all the sh*te these directors have bought.

If only we already owned statistically the best keeper in Europe last season… oh wait! It’s an absolute circus

No open play goal in about 6 months now for Cole. What has he done to him! This ‘style’ is also meaning we’re looking at quite unique profiles like Gittens when far better quality is out there. Cunha Semenyo Mbeumo Cherki Eze etc. Just hate everything about the set up right now

Still no sponsor

Ultimately they pay more so are more attractive to most ‘established’ footballers. If every summer we only add 20 year old projects, I just don’t see how we ever mount a title challenge. Can’t see palmer and caicedo waiting for too much longer

Can’t we give them some of our 80 players!

Suspect Arsenal will add Williams along with sesko and Rodrygo When you think of the quality Liverpool and City are bringing in and even Utd potentially getting cunha, mbeumo and gykores - feels like we’re getting left behind. Everyone of those players above falls outside our ‘wage’ structure. Meaning we basically get project players only. I had hoped champs league might shift the approach slightly

I think he’s just run out of steam a little. Maybe mentally. Needs a good summer rest

I think at the price it’s a great deal for most clubs. If it ends up him and Jackson as our main forwards, it doesn’t inspire. However if it allows us to go and get a genuine top level winger (Nico Williams rather than Garnacho) then I wouldn’t mind it. Personally I really want us juts to go all out and get Osimhen, he’d be the best fit given the dozens of crosses we put in

Haha that’s the other way to look at it 😂
