aRIZZabalaga edition

1st for Anime IN

>>149556362 (OP)
>>149556435
>Indian flag
>Brazilian flag

Rodrygo confirmed

>>149556453
Rodrygo might as well be indian, he's shite.

Arri = Stone
Zabal = Wide / Broad (currently, used to be just a synonym for big)
Aga = used to denote locations
Arrizabalaga = Place with the wide stones
Most likely referring a quarry.

I remember when he signed for Chelsea after every media in Spain had him already picking a locker at Bernabeu.

>>149556453
Good morning saars. Please do the needful and start me on the left wing saars.

>>149556435
Brazil-anon, we getting any fresh edits?

>still no UK flags

What a joke club.

>>149556710
Gooners are international.

>>149556672
I used to phonepost most of the time and the recent changes to the captcha made me use 4chan way less often than I used to.
If you have any suggestions/requests I might do them tho.

>>149556499
What does Kepa mean? Also, do Zubimendi

>>149556832
Zubi = Bridge
Mendi = Mountain (we also use it for hills as the basque country doesnt have any really tall mountain)
So yeah Mountain Bridge.

Kepa is the form that the word for Peter took here. Both come from the word Kephas in Aramaic. While Peter / Pedro took the translated form of the word (Stone), Kepa took the word phonetically.
So in a longaround way it also means stone, but in the same way somebody named Peter or Pedro can also track it back to it meaning stone, while it not really meaning it. However the words i translated on those surnames are legit words in Euskara.

>>149556919
Very interesting, something I do a lot when I'm bored at work is look up etimologies so this is right up my alley.
Getting context like the hill part and wide~big is something you can only get from people that know the language tho.
Do you have anything on Arteta and Inaki Cana?

>>149556965
>Getting context like the hill part and wide~big is something you can only get from people that know the language tho.
We have a word for hill, but its just not used, we use mendi for everything.
The Wide/Big situation is widely accepted but its not a rule according to "Real Academia de la Lengua Vasca (Euskaltzaindia)", which is the authority on everything related to Euskara. However as i said is broadly accepted as a synonym when dealing with olden Euskera because its really prevalent in surnames and toponyms while the current word for big (handia) barely appears anywhere.
Also keep in mind that the current form of Euskara is about 55 years old (from 1968). Despite it being (one of the) oldest living languages of the world. We had so many small dialects and derivations on such a minuscule place that the academy had to standardize it, which has lead to a wider approach to the language but also means that a lot of its older foundations might have been lost.

Iñaki is the Euskara version of the name Ignacio, well in fact is the way that name would "go back" to Spanish. Euskara has no Ñ letter but has the Ñ sound, when a word in Euskara has an i before an n its supposed to do the Ñ sound "ny" so it probably was adopted as Inaki first then eventually standarized with the Ñ into Iñaki. The surename is Caña, which just means "reed" or "straw" etc.
Arteta is simpler
Arte = Holm Oak (Quercus ilex). Encina in Spanish.
Eta when used as a suffix is a way to denote a place "with a lot of". So Arteta would be "Forest of Holm Oaks" (Encinar in spanish)

>>149556710
Shut up paddy, you're basically British. Anyway, I'm from sarf Lundun, like all the best Arsenal players, so doesn't matter what the flag says.

>>149556783
Will wait for our superstar summer striker signing before I ask. It's gonna happen any day now....

>>149557150
>The surename is Caña, which just means "reed" or "straw" etc.
I meant that it means reed or straw IN SPANISH. Its just a Spanish word. I know nothing of the man's family but nothing besides his name relates him to Euskara and its a fairly common name. Dunno if either of his parents are from the basque country or anything but nothing on his surnames seem to point to it.

>>149557175
Sure
>>149557150
>>149557181
Thanks, appreciate the in-depth reply.

For some reason Italian media seems to reckon Gyökeres is the deal that's happening.

>>149557543
In Swedish news, they are saying that a clause has been activated.

Basically, someone has bid 60m and if Sporting rejects this bid then Sporting has to pay 10% of that to Gyökeres agent.

https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/portugal/viktor-gyokeres-klausul-har-borjat-galla/

>>149557604
If Gyökeres agent demands compensation in the case of a rejected bid, Sportings president has said they will demand that Gyökeres 100m clause will be activated to agree on a sale.

Basically, it's kind of an assurance for Gyökeres that if sporting get a 60m bid they will let him go, but their president is under pressure because Benfica can get 100m+ for shittier frauds and he can only get 60m for the best ever striker the poortuguese league has ever seen.

25/26 away kit confirmed

Which player do you guys prefer?
Gyökeres
Sesko
Isak

I think Gyökeres fit the way we play the best.

>>149557666
Arsenal really hates just standard proper yellow these days for the away shirt.

>>149557723
He doesn't score headers tho

>>149557666
Reminds me of the 21/22 season blue kit. That was a grim season iirc.

Don't give a shit about the 90s anniversary reference for the new blue kit, I'm not a fan of it. I also agree it's a crime Arsenal haven't had a classy standard yellow and blue away kit for years now. Radioactive yellow became kino, I admit, but it's not the same thing.

>>149557723
Pick your poison:
>Gyökeres
Great record in Portugal but hasn't cut it in a top league and might not do so well against the mid/low blocks Arsenal face
>Sesko
Nothing special about his record to date. Project striker who may or may not bang in a couple of years.
>Isak
Looks the biz but would cost the most and is the most likely to get injured and miss half the season under our slave driver.

>>149557827
That's what Gabriel, Kai, Merino or Norgaard are for.

>>149558024
The good thing is that any striker we but will be injured anyway so we can still buy injury-prone players :)

>forced to buy Shitsko because you can't afford Isak after spending £100m on Scoobymendi, a backup DM, a backup CB and a backup GK
Sharteta masterclass

>forced to post on /arse/ because my club doesn't have a thread and I have no friends/something better to do in my life
lol

>>149558118
the Liverpool general is here m8, don't know how you missed it >>149557526

>not ignoring ireland
Pretending to be an irish livarpool supporter has been the fat fuck's gimmick for a while now

am I wrong?

>Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly split with his Portuguese girlfriend Ines Aguiar as he pushes to leave Sporting Lisbon this summer.

>Portuguese outlet TV Guia reported that couple ended their relationship before Gyokeres left for his summer holiday in Greece.

>Citing a source close to the Swedish striker, the outlet reported that Gyokeres had decided to he 'doesn't want anything to tie him to Portugal, especially because he has already decided that he won't continue at Sporting next season.
now that’s commitment

>>149558593
Arsenal is his girlfriend now.

Gyökeres is in Greekland

>>149558622
This is him giving Arteta his bedroom eyes.

are we Handsome Lads FC again?

>>149558901
don't believe we ever stopped being thus.

>>149558593
holy shit

>Ornstein] If Martinelli were to leave, you can see them bringing in a top left winger. If he’s not to leave, I don’t think so. We’ve reported on Rodrygo & Gordon, but I think that’s if Martinelli leaves, not if he stays.

It's over. Shitinelli ruining another season after his one fluke year with xhaka

>>149559642
the ornacle have put the last nail in the coffin with this post....
another season of watching shartinelli running like a headless chicken into the corner flag................

pls rec me arsenal related things to listen to while I work

>>149559707
Do you mean like a podcast or what?

>>149559794
yessir anything really

>>149559874
I only bother with the Arsecast and Tifo's Podcast (it's funny)

>>149558593
this is why arteta will reject signing him. sounds like he's got an attitude problem. sesko will be the new striker, i just know it.

>>149559642
>Can't sign a LW cuz shartinelli is too shit and will be replaced immediately, reducing his market value exponentially
>Can't sign a RW cuz pookayo is too good to give up his spot
>Can't coach them to just score more goals cuz sharteta

>>149559874
listen to old episodes of the Tuesday Club

>>149557753
Man, I miss that PS1 design

>>149560345
>PS1

>>149557723
Just sign Gyok as the immediate fix to >our forward woes and also sing Sheshko as the long-term solution thus binning the Kai Fraudvertz once and for all, it's that simple.

>>149558593
>now that’s commitment
That's a lot of bullshit to deal with when the deal ultimately collapses, innit.

HERE WE GO!
>Arsenal project
Top lel

>Fabricazio Romano in this exclusive piece CONFIRMS that Zubimendi, Mosquera and Eze WILL sign for Arsenal
Only a Zubi of time, my lads.
You can Mosq on it, fellas.
It's Eze, bois.

It's only a Mata of time

this is the most fraudulent window since wenger bought cech and nobody else

>another fraudgaard

>>149561616
imagine our trophy cabinet if he had been given as much backing as mikel

>>149562691
Wish I lived in the timeline where he got Messi in 03

>>149562781
wengers wanted/almostsignedteam is genuinely one of the best of all time kek

>>149557753
ugh i miss the nintendo gamecube

CANCEL THE DEAL NOOOOOOOOW

>>149562691
a couple of fa cups and a carabao, tops.

took less than one week between announcement of intention and actual signing of Chloe Kelly for Arsenal Women

why the fuck is the men’s side so incompetent at transfers?

>>149562781
just keep ashley cole, sell almunia and buy shay given. all they needed to do kek.

>>149564077
Always have been.

>Orny shooting down any LW rumors
thanks Martinelli

>Mosquera rejects Valencia’s deal a day after it was presented to him
>Mosquera wanted a deal in place a month ago and because Valencia stalled, he wants to leave after hearing out Arsenal
if only Berta could actually close out a deal

>implying Arsenal aren't making it look like they DON'T want to sell Martinelli so they avoid tanking his value
Trust the process.

>>149566041
I like your optimism

>>149564077
women are simply better than men CHUD

>zubimendi will be announced in July cuz uh umm we need to uh wait due to accounting reasons

BIG DAY for transfers i hear.

>>149571029
big if true

>>149571029
utterly fake news

>>149564077
Because women’s football is a joke that no one takes seriously

>>149564077
It helped that Kelly has already been at Arsenal and was willing to make the move permanent.

>>149571913
>>149571904

>>149571913
Gyokeres
>refuse to rejoin team
>tell team and agent of refusal to return
>even break up with gf to force move
>make it public that you want move

Mosquera
>refuse to sign or negotiate contract a day after receiving offer
>tell club you want transfer
>supposedly agreed to personal terms

you’re right, the men don’t want the moves either

>Arrizabalaga
>Zubimendi
>Gyokeres
>Eze
>Mosquera
would this be considered a successful window?

>>149572008
Yh

>>149572008
i just despise how many chelshit players we have bought, every time its like "surely this one won't be bad guys!" and they are even worse than the one before.
But yea get gyokeres and eze and this works out fine i guess.

>>149572127
>inb4 Arsenal buys Jackson + Madueke

>>149572186

>defensive-ish player (keeper)
>Spanish
>Ex Chelsea
If he was a bit taller for his position then, Arteta would have fallen in love with him.

He's preferences are so obvious now.

>Jota
RIP

damn. always rated jota, seemed to consistently score against >us

fuck jota he was a dickhead

>>149572648
F
At least he had the courtesy of being permacrocked when we started being unironically good in 2022

think we could get that jota lad for cheap?

>>149572648
>2 weeks after his wedding and his brother died too
Well that sucks.

>>149573413
>die with his brother as well
YOU NEVER WALK ALONE

I need an edit of jota on fire in the front

>>149573748
>this is what american staying up at night for
kinda based desu

Berta I don't want Sesko I want Gyokeres lord. Does this board not listen to fans now are we back to 2017?

>>149573915
Asking for Gyokeres is like asking for another Fabio Vieira
Primera Liga merchants nowadays are bums

Looks like Zubimendi's announcement might get delayed because of Jota.

hello lads, just woke up and i have this insane idea in my head that i think would solve our striker problem - we sign diogo jota from liverpool.

so why are we not linked with guirassy at all?
man seems like a decent striker, good numbers, above average link up play, good finishing. so whats the catch?

>>149575000
Pathetic if true

>>149575310
It's for the best, optics and whatnot.

>>149575324
Whose optics

>>149575336
The football world is mourning and here's Arsenal celebrating.

>>149575342
>The football world is mourning
just isn’t true.

Arsenal were scheduled to announce Martin Zubimendi today, however with recent developments they have DECIDED AGAINST IT & have postponed the announcement to pay their respect.

>>149575374
Fucking stupid no one cares except Liverpool fans, I bet half the players weren’t even bothered

>>149571029
i didn't account for this tragic event unfortunatley :/
my future foretelling spell has gone to waste.

>>149575402
Pessimismchads win once again…

>>149575402
morbidly, this could have a cascading effect on transfers, depending on how Liverpool react. You weren't really wrong

keep up the prophecies kuwanon

>>149575000
His death has no bearings what so ever on our transfer dealings. If he was an arsenal player i would understand but he's not and was a torn in our side in the past

>>149571913
>already been at Arsenal and was willing to make the move permanent
Miracle >we didn't end up with SterLEL, then.

>>149575630
bro where in bahrain are you?
or is it just VPN?

>>149572127
>i just despise how many chelshit players we have bought
This!

We're not gonna be dickheads mocking jotas death are we

>>149576717
Why not? Do you think jota would give a fuck if it was you who died?

>>149573748
Need you to go see a therapist

>>149576888
What does that have to do with anything you knobhead?

>>149576977
Because why do you feel the need to defend someone who doesn’t give a fuck about you? Millions of people die everyday you don’t care, but someone makes a joke about a millionaire who killed himself and his brother driving 140 mph is the worst thing in the world

>wake up
>my favourite player has died
>my friends on the eternal Shartsnal thread are mocking it

>>149577032
This is quite literally psychopathic thinking. Why do you feel the need to mock the death of someone simply because they have more money than you? Seems like insecurity and jealousy to me.

Look it's very sad but if a liverpoo player had to die i wish it was someone of more importance to them

>>149577208
It’s called banter you boring bastard lighten up

>>149577612

Where have you posted it idiot?

Yuu said: "Do you think jota would give a fuck if it was you who died?"

How is this banter? Are you demented?

>>149577714
Banter is the jokes you muppet. That’s not banter that’s just me pointing out you’re being gay

>no rumored Zubi announcement because Jota died
thanks for the reminder about getting my tires checked

>>149577714
go cry somewhere else you soft fuck

As sad as the Jota situation is, Liverpool now being forced to enter the striker market is going to make things more awkward for >us this window. I don't see them sticking with just Nunez as the sole CF in the squad.

>>149577174
Great day for the Gunners

>>149577993
>go cry somewhere else you soft fuck
Go be an edgelord somewhere else you brainless wanker

>>149578079
I'm not the brit anon you replied to but you do sound like a faggot

Why would I care what a loser like you thinks of me?

>>149571029
H-how did you know..?

>[The Athletic: Cortegana] Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso are open to Rodrygo leaving this summer. Arsenal have held preliminary talks with Rodrygo's camp.

IT'S HAPPENING

>>149578273
Liverpool with the gazump now that Jota went off the road.

I don't want to lose Martinelli just yet. I want to give him a chance playing alongside a centre forward that can actually finish.

>kepa talked to havertz
>"he was with ødegaard"
?

>>149578399
anon, we have seen ENOUGH, he had every chance to prove himself, a fucking striker won’t suddenly fix his issues.

Liverpool is a club surrounded by death. Maybe this is the deal with lucifer for their sporadic success.

>>149577032
You're laughing? A beloved soccer player obliterated himself and his brother doing 150 mph in a lambo, and you're laughing??

>>149578632
what deal did >we strike for that coveted gold trophy ?

>>149578668
Its all on merit.

>>149578273
I don't want Rodrygo
I don't want Gyokeres
I don't want Madueke

Why are >we linked to so many shitters and why do our dullard fans actually WANT these guys??

>>149578802
Who do you want?

@IsaanKhan_: “The target laid out by Mikel Arteta is for a striker to be signed before Arsenal fly out to Singapore on July 19 for their pre-season tour of Asia.”

“I understand that a striker will definitely be signed in this window. I would envisage a deal having either being made or very close to finalising in the week commencing July 14.” [@MailSport Q&A

>>149578668
wenger is now working for FIFA

>>149576065
small town close to the national stadium. no hard feelings but I loved being in Kuwait when we beat you in the gulf cup semis :p

>>149580042
brother used to live in amwaj when he was there, such a cool place and nice people.
probably top 3 arabic accents as well.

>>149578817
Eze and Ekiteke

>>149579610
Didn’t mikel say two days ago that we actually didn’t need a striker?

>>149580277
he's welcome back any time!

>>149578427
Martinelli is just Smith Rowe boogaloo.

One of our own, entrusted with the No. 10, genuinely saved Arteta's job in 2020-21, gave us incredible moments, and just felt destined to rule the world alongside Saka.

Then he just... stopped progressing.

So many of our fans just couldn't let go, but the club was able to, and now you'd find no one who says we were wrong to do so.

Feel like same will happen with Gabi

The only reason I don't want to lose Fartinsmelli is because >we'll accept Buyern's lowball offer. No way he goes Saudi this young and in a WC year. Better off keeping him as backup and shipping Trosshart.

>>149581692
trossard is leaving on a free, the writing is on the wall

Rest in Peace, Diego Jota

Player in the current Arsenal squad dies. Who will hurt the most and who the least? Havertz or Saka will absolutely floor me. Least, Karl Hein, huh the third goalkeeper? Its sucks but ok.

>>149582354
The club unironically needs a major tragedy to finally breach the elite club status. It worked for Liverpool and United with their Hillsborough and Munich tragedies.

>Rodrygo to Liverpool intensifies

>>149582354
Saka will genuinely result in suicides.
Obviously it ought not to, but footy is the greatest source of joy/escape for a lot of people out there, many of them very sensitive or have lots going on already, and that could simply be too much to bear.

>>149581692
Wait, >we are interested in Martinelli? According to who?

>>149582750
I don't know seen some rumors. He'd probably do great in the bundes desu and the last winger >you got from the arse worked out breddy gud.

>>149582729
yeah it's him no doubt
no player comes close to the level that he connects with both fans and neutrals

It hasn't been the same since Van Persie joined Manure. That was the day we finally fell off for good

kepa said in his into he's a /Kai Guy/

So apparently sesko leipzig are being birches and the sesko deal isn't going to happen so gyokeres it is.

And rodrygo has been told he can leave according to the athletic and arsenal have already made contact with his representatives.

Looks like gyokeres, rodrygo and eze will be the new attacking signings.

>>149584073
Uhmm based?

>>149584202
>So apparently sesko leipzig are being birches and the sesko deal isn't going to happen so gyokeres it is.
Fucking great, they pulled the exact same shit last year
>Looks like gyokeres, rodrygo and eze will be the new attacking signings.
If these exact transfers happen I will fucking kneel to berta
Thankfully that won’t happen, looking at rodrygo in particular
I must say though, if we buy an actual winger and eze, does that mean the legohead has been convinced to give the odegaard spot some competition? Will truly kneel to berta then

>>149584240
it is based once a Kai Guy always a /Kai Guy/

>>149584271
Everyone talking about LW and CF, but we also need someone who can challenge Odefraud for AM and actually take that spot.

If Eze is so great, and Wharton is amazing, and Mateta is the most underrated CF in Europe, and Sarr is a baller, and Guehi will start for Liverpool, and Munoz is the best RB in the league, and everybody rates Mitchell, and the GK is not bad, and Oliver Glasner is a genius.
Then why are Crystal Palace mid-table every season?

>>149584202
Make it happen faster

EXCL: Gabriel Heinze joining Arsenal as part of coaching staff. Former Argentina international defender being added to group after Carlos Cuesta became Parma head coach. 47yo played alongside #AFC boss Mikel Arteta at #PSG. W/ @gunnerblog @TheAthleticFC

Set piece fc boutta hit new heights

Gabriel Heinze's arrival at Arsenal marks a significant strategic addition to Mikel Arteta’s coaching team, following Carlos Cuesta’s recent departure to Parma.

>Coaching Journey:
Heinze brings a robust managerial pedigree--most recently at Newell’s Old Boys, with previous stints at Atlanta United and Godoy Cruz. Noted for high win ratios and tactical innovation, his teams emphasize aggressive pressing and adaptive 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 shapes--a style that closely aligns with Arsenal’s recent tactical evolution.

>Arteta Connection:
Heinze and Arteta share history as PSG teammates (2001-02), underpinning a strong footballing rapport. Arteta has credited Heinze among his early “inspirations,” indicating both a shared philosophy and mutual respect that can enhance staff synergy.

>Honours & Leadership:
Heinze’s playing career delivers gravitas: league titles at Manchester United, Real Madrid, Marseille, and 72 caps for Argentina, including Olympic gold (2004) and two Copa América finals. As a coach, his defensive organization and transitional play have won plaudits in top 5 leagues across continents.

>Arsenal Impact:
Heinze’s emphasis on defensive solidity and rapid transitions is poised to complement Arsenal’s attacking consistency from last season. With experienced assistants like Albert Stuivenberg and specialists Nico Jover (set-pieces) and Inaki Cana (goalkeeping), Arsenal’s refreshed staff is well-equipped for new tactical challenges in 2025.

Expert View: Expect Heinze’s tactical versatility and global experience to further enhance Arsenal’s adaptability--especially in high-pressure matches. This move strengthens the club’s ambition to blend continental insight with modern attacking football.

>>149584271
Vieira and havertz were supposed to be his competition till they both flopped in that position

But Eze is the Odegaard competition.

>Hand of Arsenal: EXCL : Arsenal have been in discussions with the camp of Takehiro Tomiyasu to mutually part ways pending an agreement. That is the direction of travel as we speak. Clubs from Saudi Arabia have made contact with the players agency yesterday.

No transfer fee but let him leave so he can get one big contract before he's in a wheelchair. He was unlikely to play next season anyway.

Aaron Ramsey playing at Mexico next season.
Not one of the best teams desu, and on a side note, he talked about Santi, pretty much saying he had fun playing with him and that he is a really good player

>>149586164
>unlikely to play next season anyway
Ok seriously what the FUCK are they hiding
He could’ve broken the same leg twice in a row and should still be fit

>>149586281
I swear, even Diaby wasn't out this long with any single injury.

>>149586281
it was revealed earlier this year when he got surgery: that the knee injury he suffered last July needed surgery, but he tried to rehab the entire time until they forced him to get the procedure done.

All those matches he could have been fit for had he just gotten the damn surgery in July/August of last season instead of throwing Partey at RB

Leo switched agencies, could this portend a move? Let that Saudi $ rain and go for Eze?

>>149588487
sell trossard, shartinelli and let tomiyasu go away
purchase eze, gyokeres and any half decent winger.
as simple as that

ZUBI MENDI

>>149586263
why the fuck is it never Santos? I just want one decent player to be excited about. It’s been a fucking decade since they did anything to bring back any hopes of them actually doing well and not having a fluke season

Zubi announcement WHEN ?
Striker finally signing WHEN ? (already sick of the Sesko/Gyökeres saga just sign one of them)
Eze + Rodrygo WHEN ?

>>149589009
we don't operate on weekends(thuresday, friday, saturday) because berta is sipping his 50$ latte and not in mood for business deals.
comeback on sunday/monday for some real signings.

>>149584764
>>149584798
Ketchup and beans

>>149556362 (OP)
Hoe much is this guy going to get paid to ride the bench all season and only play about 3 carabao cup games and call it a day? He has zero ambition, having a fighting chance playing for Bournemouth or Crystal Palace is infinitely a better option footbally speaking

>While Arsenal are linked with a host of attackers, contract talks w/ 18yo Ethan Nwaneri are at a delicate stage. EN wants to stay - but no agreement yet & strong interest from PL/Europe. A key situation for #AFC to address.

> Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is leaving the club after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract. The Japan international is recovering from knee surgery having played just six minutes of football last season.
one gone, another up in the air. I think if Arteta is dead set on outcasting Nwaneri, sell him to the highest bidder and use it to get something done

>>149589229

Fuck dude and my company doesn't want pay me 10k to fire me after 5 years of work. These players live in a world it doesn't exist

Tomiyasu contract terminated. Yet another player we get zero return on.

>Mokbel: Tomiyasu's existing deal was due to expire at the end of next season but ... Arsenal and Tomiyasu have reached a contractual settlement to end his contract.
So we were set to lose him on a free anyway but we let him go early to recover on his own terms. Probably back in Japan. Sad how it turned out really, one of those decisions you'd never make as a fan but obviously should as a sporting director.

>>149589616
Was anyone realistically going to pay for him?

Arsenal are NOT planning to announce Martin Zubimendi today due to events yesterday. [@Teamnewsandtix]

>>149593305
Surely going to wait until Monday due to events today as well

So if Zubimendi was Partey's replacement and they've been trying to sign Zubimendi for a year ..

>>149593299
The timing is damning, Arteta out might happen sooner than expected.

>>149593305
cheers for that mate great stuff

imagine paying for that info, like no hint at when or if it'll actually happen just "nah not happening today i reckon"

>>149593275
Kek, what timing

>>149593275
Incredible timing. The club are now caught in this position where they haven't announced his departure yet (he's even still listed as a player on the website), but they obviously can't do so without addressing this situation.

So either they're forced to explain their position or they do a Chris Benoit and just pretend he never existed.

WTF WHERE IS THE ZUBI ANNOUNCEMENT
WHERE THE FUCK ARE NORDGAARD AND MOSQUERA
WHY THE FUCK AREN’T THERE ANY POSITIVE STRIKER AND WINGER RUMORS
WTF IS HAPPENING

We're never living this one down.

ESPN:
>After weeks of internal debate over which striker to go for, it is now clear that the Arsenal hierarchy and Mikel Arteta have chosen Gyökeres.

>Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta has travelled to the Portuguese capital a few times and negotiations are going well, both with the player's agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, and with the Portuguese champions.

In case you need a distraction frens. First major outlet to report we're going all in for Gyokeres.

>Arsenal are disgusting for trying to protect Partey for aslong as they did. Let’s hope the victims get the justice they deserve

>Both Everton and Manchester United suspended their respective players. There was a way to deal with this situation and even a precedent set but Arsenal chose to go the complete opposite. Even laud him. It’s a disgrace.

> Arsenal punished Ozil, Elneny & their own kit man for speaking out about genocides but they let Thomas Partey play every week. Shameless.

>Those in charge of Arsenal Football Club should collectively hang their heads in shame. Their continued use of #Partey, when the entire footballing world knew what was going on behind the scenes has brought shame on themselves and their club.

>As a football fan, it's honestly disgraceful how Mikel Arteta and Arsenal kept playing Thomas Partey week after week while serious investigations were ongoing. The lack of accountability from the club is shocking. Maybe it was fate that they never won the Premier League — and with this kind of moral blindness, they’re not winning it anytime soon. Arteta should take responsibility and step down. Enough is enough.

>>149594315
>>149594328
>rape club fans support rapist and pro-rape manager
extremely surprising turn of events

Happy we didn't extend his contract (if he is found guilty that is).

It's simple. We have to stop signing black players.

>>149594442
Maybe I'm a bit slow, but him getting played doesn't impede the investigations does it? Or is it some sort of pre-punishment for being accused? Even if he's guilty, the courts still have to do their job and he also still has a job to do

>>149593275
>he want wage increase

>>149594442
Özil is a board member of Erdogan's turkofascist party now. He's probably out somewhere in Istanbul advocating for genocide right now.
Arsenal were smart to see through his shit

>>149594708
Erdoğan is based. Anyone who doesn't like him also coincidentally wants Israel to have influence over turkey and Syria. Erdoğan is the only person stopping that from happening.

>You WILL break up with your girlfriend.

>>149594634
it’s just virtue signaling, he has only been accused of rape but not charged with it, but people, especially women, want the book thrown at him or anyone accused of it because they want to continue the narrative of misogyny and patriarchy

meanwhile, you have female teachers sexually abusing their students or people laughing at men who come forth with sexual abuse accusations towards women

>>149594680
that was clearly bullshit to pacify the fans until the charges were public
there was never new contract talks because they knew he was going to jail

>>149594785
>female teachers sexually abusing their students

>>149594460
He didn't rape.
some woman messaged him, asking him to come over and do all sorts of crazy things to her pussy and Partey did it.
They had wild sex and went to sleep afterwards. Next morning, Partey woke up first and, trying to be funny, attempted to wake her up by playfully slapping his dick to the woman's face.
They eventually did get out of the bed and after eating breakfast, they each went their own ways.
Some days later the woman asked Partey for another sex night, but Partey refused.
So the woman, feeling desperate or insulted, tried to hit back. She filed a complaint, stating that what Partey did the morning, playfully slapping his dick to the woman's face, was not consensual.

>>149594735
Anyone who doesn't like him goes to jail or flees the country

>>149594842
From what I understand, the numbing cream case got thrown out. These charges are for separate offences with different women.

>>149594842
What about the two other accusations? Also, why are footballers so dumb in general? You'd think with all that income, they'd at least know not to put themselves in compromising situations like going to a total strangers' house

>>149594842
Didnt the numbing cream slag have a melty on twitter because her case was shot down? I think these are other women

They're like the stereotype of a dumb jock. They put all their time and energy into playing football than learning what normal people would learn. Of course most of them are going to dumb. And getting a boatload of money also makes people do stupid shit. That's why a lot of lottery winners lose all their money.

>>149594860
>>149594885
>>149594916
What other cases?
Do we have any detail or story like this one, or does it start and end with "other rape allegations reported by several different women"?

>>149588487
In his farewell post, the old agent referenced his declining as the reason he can no longer represent him. Articles about it mention it.

>>149594938
imagine not being allowed any vice in your 20s, it's bound to do your head in

>>149594885
Enrolling in a football academy and focusing on sports over education from an early age does that to you. Intellectual development is completely stunted, and if you go pro there goes any reason for you to do anything intellectually stimulating in your daily life. To all intents and purposes you're transformed into a purely physical beast.

Footballers are genuinely all like this unless they've inherited an unusually high IQ. And even that eventually grows rusty with no use.

>>149594885
you’re assuming that all of them are one-and-done bits and not someone they’ve consistently dating or even long-term partners

>>149594980
So we they didn't publish any detail.
Shaniqua tried to frame Partey as a rapist, it failed because the story was ridiculous.
Now her friends Laquisha, La'Tanya and Shanice are all throwing some rape claims, hoping for one of them to stick.

Somehow Japanese players NEVER work out at Arsenal. Damn shame.

>he dindu nuffin he a good boy

>>149595076
The exact details of a case are supposed to remain private until a fair verdict is reached in court. Otherwise if the accused is found to be not guilty, there could be a lot of defamation cases being made.

>>149595012
I don't know about that. Plenty of players have vices I'm sure. They just have a good handle on it. Even if your vice is sex, I'm sure there are services out there now that you could use if you had the money of some of these players but obviously that goes back to them being too dumb to use those services.

This just makes me respect Partey more. Arsenal should double down on siding with him.

Well one of them will be the anal numbing cream slag, and we already know she has zero credibility. Anyway, the best thing that could happen from this is that Sharteta is fired.

gentlemen, this guarantees signing announcements incoming

no fucking way the PR team will allow this Partey story to become the narrative of the offseason. Get ready for Zubimendi, Eze, Gyokeres, Mosquera, and 2 more players now that this is in the spotlight

>Liverpool player dying
>can’t announce Zubi
>Partey rape charges going fully public
>can’t announce Zubi
at this rate Kepa will be the only signing until preseason

>a billion pounds for a bunch of rapists who play like Stoke and win nothing

>>149595307
They will sign Zubi and Sesko/Gyokeres as a smokescreen for the PR nightmare Partey is gonna cause

We WILL make a new signing(or two) this coming week. not zubimendi, but someone else.

My theory is that Berta has been doing this parallel negotiation thingy in preparation for the Partey charges. Now Arsenal can just announce Zubimendi, and after that announce Norgaard, and after that announce Mosquera, and toss in a couple scoops on the striker and winger situation, and before you know it it's preseason and there are games to look forward to.

Flood the zone, submerge the fanbase and press in extraneous football and transfer discussion, and within a few weeks the season will start and this case will go the way of the 115 City charges. People eventually stop caring.

>>149595898
Berta has been in the job since March. Why didn't the club do anything about the rapist on their playing staff in the 3 years before that?

>>149595898
>allegations
>ex player
>nobody cares
>conspiracy theories

>>149595898
This. Expect a big announcement tomorrow pertaining to a new signing from PR fc to quell the rapey news

>>149595031
it's also that they have all their needs and wants taken care of by other people

>>149595465
this anon knows, it's actually the perfect time
gyokeres announcement imminent

>>149595973
I can think of 2 reasons:

1. they shoe-stringed Partey along to appease him and not risk litigation. If they were to ban him from the club because of the allegations, they would have to either buy out his contract or Partey takes them to court for lost wages, the latter especially if it’s proven that he is innocent. By negotiating ridiculous terms and refusing to budge, Arsenal can point to good faith negotiations, even knowing that the charges were coming and can escape with bad PR

2. they legitimately didn’t think anything would come of it and didn’t plan for anything of the sort to happen, especially after what happened with the anal cream situation, and we’re offering him a contract that he didn’t want. Remember, this is a club that has shown time and time again that they are willing to overlook and stick with their players through injury or bad situations

option 1 makes more sense, especially since they didn’t bring up renewing his contract earlier in the season. Arsenal’s lawyers must have heard it in the pipeline earlier in the last year and prepared to come off as a club who is bad at renewing (which could also be why they’ve been stalling in renewing deals for players like Nwaneri and MLS) so that they can wash their hands of the situation.

man zoomers are fucking hopeless, just because you’re accused of something doesn’t make you guilty. I beg of you to please read about due process. Arsenal literally did nothing wrong and only retarded Reddit zoomers think they did

I think garnacho is worth a shot, how much are they asking for him?

>>149598501
Here's the thing, they don't actually.
The only thing going through their minds is "I need to show how against rape I am!".

>>149598501

>>149611649
Don’t talk nonsense

why has parteys mugshot not been released??

Is there another industry where, if someone was arrested for rape and sexual assault, they would be allowed just carry on as normal? Arsenal had a duty of care to all their other employees, and beyond, and decided his talent on the pitch was more important than anything else.
Everyone at the top involved in the decision making needs to resign.

This isn't the Arsenal I loved anymore. When Wenger left, the class went with him. There is no way that this Partey shit would have dragged on under his watch.

Since Arteta took over, it's been a pathetic win at all costs mentality at the club with the values and the quality of football taking a massive hit in favour of hoofball tactics and set pieces. The saddest part is that we haven't won anything significant despite that mentality. It would be like if Mouinho had won no trophies during his Chelsea tenure.

signings pls ~.~

>>149600900
Partey pulled his hamstring on the counter-attack vs Spurs and Arteta pushed him back onto the pitch to get back and defend. Mind you, this was before the rape allegations came to light. Probably has more respect for him knowing he's a serial rapist the dead eyed freak.

>>149612043

Well, well, well.

Still no PL since 2004. Still no CL trophy since EVER. Mikel Artitty's STILL head coach of THE FARCENAL.
I hope this leaves a black mark on Artetea forever.
Asshole was given the largest transfer & wage budget in the club's history and he's got 1 FA Cup and 2 Pre-season friendly shields to show for.

Welcome to the real world, dipshit.
Players with true ambitions to win major league titles and the CL are less likely to join Arsenal.
Arsenal landed Declan Rice over Manchester City because he didn't have to move and his starting role was more clearly defined.

Why do you think Zubimendi is taking so long to finalize his transfer?

It’s joever

Gone from hearing about Gyrokes, Sesko, Rodrygo, Eze. To singing 2 cdms , in talks with a new back up cb , and now looking at Madeuke. I’m not gonna lie am not impressed. This summer was touted as being a massive one. Arteta said it gave him goosebumps. If two new cdms and Madeuke gives you goosebumps then fuck me were in real trouble. Last point, there is no way in hell we get 3 attacking players like we need. So in my opinion will most likely get prolly Madeuke and if we don’t buy a striker then fuck me we are shit.

HAND ON ARSE EXCLUSIVE
>Rodrygo’s preference is to move to the Premier League, with Arsenal his “absolute priority” in case a deal can be struck with Real Madrid.

Madueke is a big fat smokescreen. The Rio sun will shine on us frens.

how many dinner ladies and ballboys did Thomas Partey rape while awaiting trial?

>>149616135
Everyone knows the Kroenke's ambitions stop at perennial Champions League qualification & Round of 16 appearances.
Top-class players know they deserve to be at a better club.
Arsenal budgets the squad around 4/5 years of CL football, with the remaining 1/5 year winning the Europa League to qualify for next season's CL.

They don't budget for PL title-challenge sweetie.
Kroneke sanctioned larger transfers in the past 3~5 years because Farcenal had a lot of catching up to do, now they just want to spend enough to stay ahead of Newcastle, Tottenham, and Manchester United.
Arsenal knows they can't match City, Chelsea, or Liverpool in the long run (United too, but they're so far behind atm).

>>149616055
>player wants game time guaranteed
Arteta would be the most braindead manager on the planet if he let Ethan go but I think every single poster here knows for a fact that there's no fucking chance in hell that Ethan will get any meaningful game time under Arteta. What a fucking tragic position to be in. And that's ignoring all the Madueke talk.

>>149616135
>Do good players on the market not want to play under Arteta?
Does Arteta want to coach good players is the better question.

Depends on how much store you place in ITKs, but:
>Ornstein says Rodrygo, Williams, Gordon are our main LW targets
>Williams new contract, Newcastle won't sell Gordon
>Relevo says our No. 1 winger target is Rodrygo
>Now HoA says we are Rodrygo's "absolute priority"
>Madrid aren't extortionists if they're fine with a player leaving (see Odegaard)

Everything points to him. Ignore other noise.

>>149616631
Real Madrid isn't going to offer favorable transfer terms to the club that knocked them out of the CL last season.

Wenger did have funds, he was just a stubborn retard that was too loyal to shit and injury prone players. It was also like he was happy to achieve the bare minimum possible, and was afraid he would be judged if he actually spent money, only to still continue to not actually win anything.

>>149616771
>>149616847
Even late-stage, impotent Wenger won more FA Cups than Miguel Aritty.
This asshole wasted so much money.
>Auba contract extension
>Gabriel Jesus
>Aaron Ramsdale

Borderline waste of money
>ZInchenko
>Havertz (can't even use him as the midfielder/8 Arteta originally intended)

>>149611539
Is it innocence or just pure naivette?

What's this? Saliba is headed to Real Madrid or PSG on a free transfer?
Saka hasn't extended his contract either?
Ødegaard is breaking down every season?
Time's ticking, Arsenal fans.
This is the best squad Arsenal will have for a long time.

No please not another Chelsea reject please no what is this club I might as well start supporting the blues

>>149616757
Ornstein's piece last week:
>The club are also exploring the addition of a more versatile attacking player, such as Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze or Morgan Rogers. Arsenal are being kept informed on a number of players to afford them flexibility in their planning.

This makes it sound like Madueke is the alternative to Eze, not Rodrygo. Would be more tolerable but losing out on Eze will still bite us in the ass. We have sub-zero creativity.

>>149617116
Every Arsenal Undroppable can be replaced with a finite number of Chelsea rejects played out of position, simple as, la.

>>149616613
>>149616055
Arteta benched him for the last few games of the season and he wasn't even injured. Ethan probably just wants out of working for such a maniacal boss.

>>149616135
That's every transfer window. People keep expecting way too much and it turns out we don't have the budget or pull to make the title-winning signings.

me thinks we're signing
-rodrygo
-eze
-sesko/gyokeres (50/50)

>>149617216
>Would be more tolerable
Barely.
Still, Mamamia should only be considered an alternative to an empty bench seat and that's it.

>>149617245
Not playing Nwaneri makes very little sense, but how else could the Fraud keep his fraudulence level high enough.

Rodrygo/madueke - gyokeres/havertz - saka/nwaneri
Rice/merino - zubi/norgaard - ode/eze
Skelly/calafiori - gabriel/kiwior - saliba/mosquera - timber/white
Raya/kepa

This squad wins us the league easy.

>>149617387
In your Football Manager save, after save-scumming. Kek.

>>149617245
It's even worse when you remember that fucking STERLEL was Saka's cover last season. And you can't even use that bullshit excuse of not wanting to overwork young players when you have 14 fucking left backs at the club but still make the kid who is only a few months older than Ethan, Myles, play like twice as many minutes. Ethan taking shots as he pleased instead of building le xGAGFY is what got him dropped in the end. I firmly believe that.

>>149617413
>Ethan taking shots as he pleased instead of building le xGAGFY is what got him dropped in the end
So true...And I'd rather a player take a shot that goes over the bar than pass it sideways or backwards in a pretty triangle that amounts to nothing. Ethan can bang them in and he gets punished for it.

>>149617387
depth doesn't win you a league when your starting XI is worse than the rivals

>>149617387
What you'll get:

Martinelli/Trossard ---- Havertz/Merino --- Saka/Trossard

- Rice(90 mins every week) - Ode/(reserve) - Zubi/Norgaard

Skelly/(90 mins every week) - Gabby/Kiwior - Saliba/White - Timber (90 mins every week)

Raya/Kepa

>[David Ornstein] Noni Madueke agrees personal terms with Arsenal as they consider approaching Chelsea for England int’l. #AFC have 23yo green light + strong relations with #CFC but no club-to-club talks yet. Firm option to bolster on both wings. W/ @SebSB @TheAthleticFC
It's actually going through
Holy shit
OUT OUT LEGO HAIR OUT

you need to upgrade Bukayo Krappo if you ever want to win anything

>>149617585
This is just gut-wrenching news.

>>149617387
Nigga we haven't even sold anyone yet. You think if we buy fucking Madueke were getting more than one of Eze, Rodrygo, or Gyokeres? And Rodryjeet isn't even worth the price Madrid want for him, so a reasonable deal isn't happening until the end of the window.

>>149617661
>until the end of the window.
Yeah last minute $40mill(+$1) bid for Ollie Watkins and when they say no, they say, "See! We tried"

>>149617585

>>149617585

>>149617585
>Sterling worked out so great last season let's go get a younger worse version of him

Madueke is actually better than Shartinelli, but so are most of the other LW in the league

Someone died in the Bayern v PSG game.

I haven't watched a single Chelsea match.
How is Madueke as a football player?

Nigga Madeueke what the fuck. Where the fuck is Gyokeres

>>149619181
1 good game in 10, shit attitude, also a reminder of the penalty incident

Eze to Bayern confirmed

>>149619703
>implying
its Martinelli to Buyern

Bayern players after Musiala's injury.
Him being done for the season is actually the best-case scenario.
This could have a knock-on effect on our transfers. They were interested in Martinelli and also Eze and Rodrygo.

so with Arsenal splashing the cash on Marmaduke >we can safely assume that neither Rodrygo nor Eze are coming.

>>149619936
about to turn him into Gnabry 2.0

>>149616736
Wenger had the funds instead of spending it the tight jew pocketed all of it

What is this stupid fucking obsession with buying Chelsea rejects?

You look at how psg play and wonder why we have this faggot that wants possession like pep with an obsession with duels and set pieces.

>>149620534
legohead is arrogant and thinks he can turn shit players into good players

>>149619970

>>149622336
Heh, bargain backup player coming right up!

>>149622421
they've spent 200m so far. it's surely over for them unless they either sell lots of players or sell their stadium to themselves again.

>[Romano] Arsenal are preparing their opening bid for Madueke. He is a separate target for all mentioned (Eze & Rodrygo). Contract talks with Nwaneri are advanced, the ball is in Arsenal’s court but Chelsea have enquired about the situation.

he is COMING

starting to think we're not gonna buy a striker bros...

>>149625776
lmao what a shit world
why are we forced to buy all of chelseas flops and then we give them our own homegrown talents?

The most significant attacking links at the moment are Gyökeres for No. 9, Rodrygo for LW and Madueke as the 3rd "versatile forward". All of these players are known to excel in quick transitions, something we're possibly dead worst at in Europe right now. My theory is that Arteta noticed our habit of consistently throwing away games in the Second Half after taking the lead, and is now basically planning to play two halves of football: Havertz and Saka lead the line in the first half and play possession based as usual, then around minute 60 (if we take the lead) completely shut up shop, put on our Stoke kits, and bring on Gyokeres and Madueke (possibly Martinelli also) to fully exploit counters. Zubimendi and Norgaard both being excellent at causing high turnovers also supports this. We are going to witness a scale of terrorism worthy of The Hague.

>>149626063
hell yeah

>chelsea rejects FC

>>149626063
even though i talk a lot of shit about arteta, i have to give it to him. defensively he knows what he's doing. despite everyone memeing about our terroristball and stoke citeh etc. it fucking works. I can't imagine how depressing it must be for other teams and fans when we go 1 nill up and just park the bus and everyone knows you're not getting through. And even if you do actually manage to score, we switch the game totally over to try to win, and force the opponent into setting up their own shop. only games that usually look pretty joever for us to win are the ones where we concede first. we're still extreme mental midgets

>>149626310
He broke the goal scoring record. When everyone is fit it can happen.

>>149625963

I hope it’s just Berta’s modus operandi to get multiple deals in place before making a final decision but god damn it’s looking dire

>>149556435
>1st for Anime IN
weird, I don't remember SC has anime

its still annoying, but I'll only truly be upset with signing madueke if we end up not signing Eze.

Eze won't cost even 2x what we're most likely going to pay for madueke and he's easily 5x the player, if we don't sign eze i will never stop seething.

>>149629140
Signing eze also has the additional benefit of snubbing spurs

signings?
yes indeed, we're making them this week.
stay tuned.
(ezze - REDEEMygo - gyokeres)
maybe madueke just cuz todd boehly needs a tenner

>Nwaneri to Chelsea
Are the rumors true?

We need a Swede to unfraud the team from all the fraudulent Danes and Norwegians that you don’t win leagues with.

Last time Arsenal won the league? Swedish player started.


Sign a Swede, and you'll succeed.

>>149637377
Most like not, it doesnt make sense for the player.

>>149636033
>>149637354
Sportbladet and Swedish news are fairly reliable for Swedish players only.

But they get fed by the agent mostly, so not tier 0/1 but a tier 2

>>149637399
sorry anon but >we also need an Austrian backup player

>[Fabrizio Romano] My understanding is the valuation between Chelsea & Arsenal for Madueke is quite different. But Arsenal are preparing to send the first bid.

thank god, Arsenal won’t pay more than the initial £30m Lelsea paid so they won’t let him leave.

Very easy Nordic heuristics when it comes to sport and life in general:
