Just been sent home early from work.... Found out my daughter has been in contact with someone who's 2 friends both got a positive test result for Covid and work said they didn't want to take any chances even though neither of us are showing any symptoms currently. They gave us a link to a website to get a test booked but because they won't allow you to book the test unless you actually have the symptoms work have told me I can return tomorrow....
The geezer scored 29 goals last season, he’s worth what they’re paying and Arsenal need him as otherwise where else do they get a world class striker from?
He’ll bag plenty for them for at least the next two seasons which is what they’ll need should they get top 4

He’s been tearing up the league since he joined, it’s hardly money for old rope. Like Storts said, Arsenal really had little choice than make him their highest paid player. Once Ozil fucks off they will be laughing.
The decision to sell Martinez is a bizarre one though. Hasn’t he been brilliant? Even heard shouts he should be ahead of Leno. Then again, Martinez’s stock is at an all time high and Leno is younger and probably has a higher ceiling I suppose. Think I just answer my own question haha.
Garcia wants to use Jean Lucas as a wing back @El Profesor
Also @Stan can you correct the thread title please? Should be Lyonnais rather than just Lyon. It's ok to call them Lyon, but not Olympique Lyon.
Losing Amin would be a disaster to DW's planning and something I do not wish to contemplate at the moment. The defence seems to be a little more settled during the pre-season games, and the forward efforts are - particularly with Kotucu coming on strong - getting better. Mid-field needs work and without Harit it would be a sparse start for the front men but we will not miss the young American as he was always just all over the place and had no set plan from which the rest could benefit. Sunday's game will be against lower level opposition, could be a pointer to next week's real challenge against the Munchkins who normally start slowly. A draw there would be a great start for us!
Melissa Reddy says the priority is: keep Gini, sell “excess midfielders” (I think this might be Grujic/Harry Wilson), sign Thiago.
I think she’s Klopp’s media voice until proven otherwise, so I think if Gini stays, this is encouraging.
Sky reporting Wijnaldum held positive talks with Klopp and he wants to sign a new contract. None of the reliable journos reporting this yet though I don't think. Would be good if true though
