It's 3 points end of the day. Yes we all badly want to beat Arsenal, but it would not be worth it if playing Moi got him injured and out for a long period. Leave him out until we are sure he is ready.

Arsenal will win the league again, Imo. City have a good enough squad and team to threaten them, and of course have Haaland. Depends on Maresca not being a fool though. Rest of us battle for third, we are short in midfield. Had we gotten Alonsos 2 main midfield targets, Wharton and Scott, then I think we challange. Arsenals defence is just too good though. I appricate a great defence, Joses mark 1 team defending I found enthralling on how they made it an art. Arsenal take great pride in their defence, I respect that.

Said after his first day of training with them that "he always dreamed of playing for a big club like Manchester city".

Maybe the red decides he wants to "play a game within the game" of sending off Arsenal players? Lol

They are champions for a reason, and better than us everywhere bar attack. Best team does not always win though. Perhaps Sunday is our day.

For some reason I though the international break came after this game, but no it is a few weeks later and we have Leeds in the cup on Wednesday. Will that affect Alonsos selection for Arsenal? Unlikely but it may mean Gusto in midfield for either Leeds or Hull after.

I think the deadline is noon on Friday to be able to play on Sunday. Not going to happen. Aye as Scott says will be back soon, but best case is bench for Arsenal.

And how will Monaco bail themselves out now? Camaras agent has since come out and said he won't be moving to Turkey or Saudi, and is staying at Monaco. So will Balogun agree to go to those countries? Or Portugal? It would be amusing, albeit never going to happen, if those 3 markets refused to deal with Monaco for how they acted with us, Everton and their two players.

Yeah I don't buy his version that we were basically stalking the situation and were on him like flies on sh*t when the Balogun "medical issue" came up. Far more plausible this Scuro panicked and came to us to bail them out, only to go back on it when he thought he could shift Balogun again, which was his boards and managers preferred option.

Our left side has been an issue, so need to make changes there I feel. Also need players in their natural roles. Martinez James Acheampong Lacroix Hato Chavarria Lavia Barco Palmer Joao Pedro Rogers If Caicedo can play then put him in place of Barco. James as a defensive wing back. Width from deep, we know he can cross or pass a ball in a penny, let him do that while keeping our right side strong.

Leeds.

Up to you if you believe him or not. He and all the other ITKs were fooled by Monaco:

Aye nothing to do with FFP or PSR. Purely based on what we actually spent this summer, and what we got in. Not bonuses, loan fees, add ons, just what 100% has gone out and come in.

We messed up mate, did so well in all departments bar the question mark on the wing backs and in central midfield. All we have left is the free market now, and the hope we can get at least 4 good months out of whoever we can nab.

Marcelo Brozovic is free to. 1 plus 1 for him as well give us depth. Plan for the probability of both Lavia and James breaking down.
