Arsenal are trying to cut the wage bill, not inflate it even more. Which is what both Coutinho and Willian will 100% do.

Well, we didn’t have a transfer window. Sold Hazard and Morata, and have a lot of other players looking to sell. I’m more interested to see what our net spend will be come September.

Apparently, the deal was finished Friday. Havertz then told his closest mates, Sane being one of them. Told Rudiger as well and apparently all the players now know.

His decline was rapid but can't fault his professionalism. Was absolutely class that 2017 season.

KDB for me is the second best player on the planet

City won the league in 2017/18 yet Salah won POTY given he was the only consistent player that produced great numbers. Things have virtually switched so KDB not winning it and adding to the fact Liverpool’s best player(s) didn’t even win, screams agenda.

I can see why Lampard wants to improve the GK and LB over centre backs. Some of these statistics are shocking. If Kepa lets in two goals against Wolves, he'll have let in 83 goals in his first 2 seasons at Chelsea. To put that into context, it took Petr Čech 5 seasons and Thibaut Courtois 3 seasons to reach that same number. Chelsea's defense is actually facing less shots than typical Chelsea teams of old did. Kepa has only faced 92 shots this season, which is actually 25 less than the 117 he faced last season. In Čech's 11 season's at Chelsea he only had one single season where he faced less than 100 shots, 2009/10 where he faced 93. Courtois faced around 100 per season, with his lowest being 93 as well in the 15/16 horror season. 09/10: Čech faces 93 shots and conceded 24 goals. 15/16: Courtois faces 93 shots and concedes 29 goals. 19/20: Kepa faces 92 shots and concedes 42 goals. Čech = 1000 saves from 1241 shots (81%) Courtois = 281 saves from 398 shots (71%) Kepa this season = 53 saves from 92 shots (57%) Using that metric we can see that Kepa has faced the 2nd most difficult shots to save this season. Kepa faces shots that shot go in 1/3 times. But take the example of De Gea who faces shots that should go in 1/4 of the time. Easier to deal with. So Kepa faces hard shots right? There are keepers in the league who face similarly difficult shots: Dúbravka (Newcastle), Mcarthy (Southampton), Ryan (Brighton). Despite that, each of those keepers has saved a lot of those shots from going in. Dúbravka = 71% save percentage Mcarthy = 69% Ryan = 69% Kepa = 57%

Translation: Info: Willian at Arsenal is getting hotter and hotter. Chelsea are still trying to negotiate to secure the Brazilian, but there are people in the Gunners who are very optimistic about signing

Two cup finals since he's been gone isn't too bad. Kronke is the real issue. Wenger was just another piece that needed to be removed.

We really have no place to be dishing GK jokes

It was his pace and physical prowess that were a nightmare. Caused havoc even against our best ever side. With Suarez I felt we could handle him, Torres was just unplayable.

Just my experience and preference. There were only two strikers I genuinely feared in the Prem, and it was Henry and Torres.

Prime Torres > Suarez

How poor can Maguire and Lindelof be when they've kept 25 clean sheets in all competitions this season?

Again, this just screams Edu and Joorabchian rimming each other. Arsenal first need to tie down Aubameyang. What ever it takes. Secure the Partey signing. Use what ever funds remaining to get a CB that can hold their position with Saliba.

You're saying the Coutinho signing is good enough to help you secure top 4. Who are you beating to Top 4?

Over who?

True. We just need to leave a trail long enough for 5 years.

Whispers Lampard wants to replace Kepa No news on any CBs Chilwell rumor is dead. Nothing of late in terms of LB Recent reports we are willing to offer both Batshuayi + Barkley for Declan Rice Early days. I'm more worried about finding suitors for our players to actually fund the Havertz deal.

You think buying a Barca and Bayern reject, a player who only thrives in systems being built around him, good enough for you to get back in the top 4? On top of that, Willian? I think Liverpool is enough evidence of what happens when you rid a player who is the main focal point and instead strengthen the entire team.

Edu is going to be a cancer at your club if he keeps doing these players + agents favors. Luiz and now Coutinho and Willian rumored to join you lot. Wow

Let’s see how the transfer window pans out. Ziyech and Werner isnt enough

What else can realistically be done? Suspending football isn't just delaying the inevitable, it will set a bad precedent. Next time a club is facing relegation with its star player injured, all the fans need to do (or worse, club staff members) is create anonymous profiles racially slandering footballers on social media and football is banned for two weeks. This is just one of the many handful scenarios I can think of.
