Read that this morning. Current deal expires 2021 and they haven't been able to come to terms. I'm ok selling him because I don't think we have a choice. However, I hope they sell him to a Championship club (to maintain HG status) and include a relatively cheap buy back so we can bring him back if he comes good.

Also, wasn't aware that he had a US citizenship. If that is the case the US Federation needs to be recruiting him like mad. If he comes good he has the potential to be the most prolific scorer ever to wear RW&B.

Looks like Miki is staying at Roma. Details are a bit shaky but best I can tell right now is that we are loaning him (at no fee) for next season and then his contract with us expires. So basically we are giving him away to get his salary off the books.

If true, Raul truly sucks. He paid 5m (rumored) as a loan fee for Cedric who's contract would have expired 6-5 months later yet we get absolutely nothing for Miki? Insane.

I read that Mhki is basically paying the club to cancel the contract so that he can stay at Roma. Nice to have his wages off the books, but didn't Roma offer us like 10m in January for him.

Hoping the continuously circling rumors about Partey are true, but I know I'll be disappointed when some other club swoop into sign him.

Supposedly they offered 10m in Jan and we demanded 20m. Then the rumors of Miki / Kluivert swap and the end results is a giant goose egg. I was banking on getting something for him to add to our funds. That much less now that we have to improve the current roster.

Agreed. I just don't understand how we keep botching contracts, negotiations and signing/selling players. Its definitely a meme at the point

Arsenal website announcing that Saka signed an extension. Doesn't say how long just "long term extension"

I would assume 4-5 years. Glad they finally got this one over the line. I'd say he is by far the biggest prospect we have right now along with Martinelli who still has 4 years on his. Now to save some more money, take one of the 7's off his shirt and let him be #7.

Also seeing some news this morning...

- From Ornstein... we have intensified our efforts to sign Thomas Partey. Currently trying to get him for less than his release clause. Thinks it may be possible.

- From France... claims that Arteta is looking at Memphis Depay as a LW/ST option if one or both of Laca/PEA are sold this summer. Depay has one year left on his deal and has expressed some interest at returning to the EPL.


My editorial... how about Laca for Partey and Duezy for Depay. Slide PEA to ST and try to get him to extend 1-2 yrs at a reasonable salary. Still some holes but that would go a long way to fixing some issues on our roster.

I'm seeing 4 years thrown out for Saka. Also apparently we'll be saving close to 11m by letting Mhki go. Still wish we had gotten something there, but I guess I'll take it.

Where are the CB rumors?


That's not a dig at y'all but instead the club.

There's been a few here and there. Thing is that we currently have 8 under contract for next season so we have to offload 2-3 before we can really add 1. One is young and likely heads back out on loan (Mavro), one is hurt (Chambers) and likely won't play until Nov/Dec at best and 2 are rumored on the transfer list (Sok & Mustafi). In all likelihood we end up adding 1 young CB after those 3 are unloaded and enter the season with 5 healthy CBs.

As far as I know the main focus is still trying to pull Upamecano. Thoughts are that Sokratis and probably Mustafi are gonna be sold this summer if possible. I think starting next season it'll be Holding/Luiz as the starting pair with Saliba breaking through ASAP.

Its quite refreshing to hear the Premier League Live team praising Arsenal for locking down a potential star.

Looks like another 3-4-3 lineup. Want to see Nelson have a good game today. I do think AMN should have kept his spot over Bellerin.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Mari/Holding

Almost a typical Arsenal. Dominate the first 20 minutes and Norwich almost scores with a 30 yard rocket from a CB

Mustafi looking extra dicey today. Several bad fouls and dangerous give aways.
