FFP isn’t a real limit. It’s like the NFL salary cap. There are creative way around everything if you want them.

Maybe the Rams could buy a sponsorship

And with his right foot !
He's been very dynamic and the good thing for him is that he plays for a coach who LOVES ot use attacking WB while having cover for them. Clauss and Tavares are going to have monster seasons.

That's awesome to hear. I have not gotten to watch any Marseille this year, are they playing good football?

 

[Evilo]

So far, they've been efficient. Not candy on the eye, but efficient. They're mostly playing through their WB while in possession.

Happy so much dead weight has been removed but the squad is awfully thin now. We have 2 players for every position but of course any injury means you're down to the healthy guy at that position having to play every game. Not ideal with all the extra midweek games this season.

Hopefully Tomiyasu can get a run of games now. Ben White is not a full back. Tomiyasu is not ideal either but at least he has more experience and competence there than White.

I don't mind it if we have youth to supplement. The disappointing thing about not finishing more chances in the first half is that Smith, Cirjan, and Cozier-Duberry were not able to get in.

But yeah, with El Neny, Partey, ESR, and Nelson already injured, it feels a little thin.

Isn't this the case for most teams?

Yeah, about time. One could only hope he stops being involved with FIFA though. Doesn’t do him any favors.

Btw pretty funny there were literally no posts in this thread during the entire last season.

Graham is honestly the only bloke I truly admire from AFTV. His tactics are just crazy good and explain what's going through Arteta's head. Not surprised he's trying to make us play like Barca.

Our manager

Maybe that metaphor works better in Basque.

Nwaneri had a 5 goal game over the weekend. He seriously cannot come fast enough.

A very good in-depth article about Arsenal's moves...

Why this Premier League could be the one for Arsenal and Arteta

Arsenal are preparing to finally beat Manchester City in a Premier League title race at the third attempt. This season is their best chance yet.

It seems they are using a lot of analytics and found that Nketiah was a surplus that was not needed anymore. Additionally, reports say that Arsenal wants to beef up the academy squad again, which is why we're seeing reports about Brasilian youth players joining.

 

[VEGASKING]

That only thing you need to see that Nketiah is not good is a pair of functioning eyes. I don't know why they're trying to hold out for every last penny to get rid of him. These 20-25 million offers are already more than he's worth. Same with Ramsdale. Nobody is paying the asking price on these guys.

Cause it’s about setting samples for the future. Clubs can’t come to Arsenal and expecting to get players on the cheap anymore. Pay up or get the f out.
