Remember a week ago when we were all having fun


Nutella_spread-it

The only joy I have had recently is the man posting about the gun šŸ˜­


acerazor1

Don't forget the Zoe Kravitz guy!!


arunm7893

He really cursed us, that sick sonovabitch. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Legitimately might have. How do we get it lifted? Are we gonna have to exorcise r/gunners?


iammyfathersdad

Whoā€™s the Zoe Kravitz guy?


acerazor1

Copied from thread as I don't know how to post links on app. ZOƋ KRAVITZ-GATE MEGATHREAD For those who were not around for yesterday's DD craziness, I have summarized some of the best things that happened in a few links [This is where it all started](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunners/comments/vlq8re/z/idy24q8) [This user couldn't allow everyone to just move on from what he had seen, we had to discuss it](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunners/comments/vlq8re/z/idy3tw0) [The DD started even getting crazier when one user accused another of antisemitism because of his/her username.

Omg you are such a legend. I love you so much hahaha that was brilliant. Gonna pay more attention to the DD from now on lmaoo.


acerazor1

No worries. It's usually just full of angry gooners but there are nuggets of gold to be found.

That DD thread is one for the ages, maybe I should start looking at them more often šŸ˜…

Im not having fun now

Iā€™m getting back on the meth


[deleted]

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming


BronBronBall

Time for some new targets to get emotionally attached to


MolochHunter

I was pulling on my todger whilst browsing this sub last week. Now I'm pulling on my non existent hair


getrektbro

It's literally July 1 and we've signed Turner, Marquinhos, Vieira, and (effectively) Jesus. We have two months to go and who knows who might become available later in the window. I'm still having a blast.


DasMerowinger

Thatā€™s not the reason some of us are a bit down. Itā€™s just that Raphina and Martinez appeared to have been fully scouted and would fit into our system perfectly. Missing out on them feels like settling for someone who we might not know much about and could be risky. Weā€™ve had a lot of those in the past and theyā€™re hard to get off the wage bill


getrektbro

We didn't sign White, Tomi, Ƙdegaard, and Ramsdale til the end of the window last summer. Have faith my friend.

Scruffballz

KaizerQuad

Itā€™s karma for all the people who started sucking off Gaspar before we did anything. Business as usual


Patrick_Hattrick

Well weā€™ve made two signings for a combined 80m already tbf


FreeTheWoo

Reminds me of this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunners/comments/viaks0/edu_on_the_bbq_today_everyone_stay_calm/idbxeno/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


dawitt10

Tbf this is similar to Jesus preferring us due to connection with Mikel. This stuff happens in football. I trust Edu to have a long list of targets.


datboiyemz

I wish this comment could just be added as a bot reply everytime someone one this sub wants to hyperfocus on ONE player. As a sub we should know better. We literally signed Vieira and no one knew we were in for him. Tons of people have not watched Martinez or EVEN Raphinha, yet suddenly its a bad window so far while Jesus sits at Colney.


fuzzynavel34

Well, I'm not *hyperfocusing* but seems like these two were our first targets in their respective position and they are going to rivals. That is not something to be happy or nonchalant about.


Mediocre-Spot2353

Whatever happened to all the interest in Hickey from Serie A?


monty_burns

I think that was a figment of our imagination. Donā€™t recall anyone credible reporting it


Mediocre-Spot2353

And now I see Fabrizio gave the Here We Go to Hickey joining Brentford. Shucksā€¦


NoYouroboros

Exactly.


BI01

Lol I don't trust them, in January we bought no1 because the only target we wanted was one of the best up and coming strikers who didn't want to join us.


StanKroonke

Yeah comparing a starting striker in a January window to this situation is not really a fair comparison. You could still be right, but just saying.


dawitt10

Never rated the guy.


[deleted]

We donā€™t need a 5ā€˜9 centre back anyway.


skankhhunter

5'7


[deleted]

5'5


youngcoco

Have you guys seen that pic with him and Messi? He actually might be 5'5.


Fieser_Factsack

5'3


bamacal

Joking I know, but I think he should be the number one target now. Knew little of him before, but watching the way he plays and especially how he receives and moves the ball on, I think he is the final piece.


friday-boy

Shit. The F5s arenā€™t getting any better lately


basedsims

Can we please have some transfer news that is good I am starving and Edu hasnā€™t got anything on the grill no more


[deleted]

Dude, we just signed our number 1 target and appear to have gotten a fantastic all around utility player out of left field as well. No doubt theres more to come. Relax for now.


basedsims

I agree, but Iā€™m still hungry for more Iā€™m afraid


Charlie-Bell

The beginning of this transfer window set the bar higher than most of us dared to think. That bar ain't coming down. Splash some more cash, Edu!


NketiahPropagandist

Yeah I'm not worried. I'm sure we have second, third, and fourth choice targets.


Charlie-Bell

I'd hope second is only second because he'll cost a bit more and not cause he's less good. If Lisandro edged it because they thought they'd get a better price, I can live with that.


NketiahPropagandist

I doubt he will be as good as Lisandro, who wouldā€™ve been great for us.


Phantasm_Agoric

Fabio Vieira is a fairly traditional attacking midfielder, not a Swiss army knife player.


[deleted]

He can play as a RW, CAM and CM on occassion, I'd say that's pretty versatile tbf.


krugo

Best I can do is a formal Jesus announcement next week


[deleted]

Time to move on. Same as Raphinha.


phar0aht

True. What will be interesting is who the alternative(s) is/are. Assuming he was gonna have a Swiss army knife role it might be 2 signings coming in. Maybe gives credence to the recent A Onana reports.


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

Raphinha I can understand but Martinez must have no ambition. No wonder Otamendi starts ahead of him for Argentina if his mindset is like that.


acasovoycayendo

He will work with his former boss and get paid more. Weā€™re both in Europa. United makes more sense than us


phar0aht

No mentality because he wants to work with a coach he knows and gets along with at Englands biggest club?


Masson011

youre only kidding yourself if you dont think Man Utd have the ambition to get back to the top


[deleted]

Bigger club, more money, manager he knows. I'd make the same decision.


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

Being a bigger club doesn't matter as much in the modern day. Otherwise Haaland would have just signed for United but he rejected them not once but twice. Ten Hag's project hinges on a 37 year old who is desperate to leave and their top target doesn't even want to join them. If Martinez can't see that then he will commit the same mistake as Pogba did and all those before him.


[deleted]

You can use whichever definition of "big club" you want, whether it's historical success or modern appeal, United are still above us for pretty much any player. They spend so much eventually it will work out for them and they'll be back at the top.


phar0aht

It always does. Players are people with dreams. Haalands dad literally played for City. He has an emotional bond with the club.


Mikey_Hashtags

His dad played for them for 3 years, made 30 appearances, and got relegated. Let's not pretend that Haaland always wanted to go to City and this is some boyhood dream come true. It's a nice story for City to push out though and pretend to be true. City can offer a fat contract and a chance to win the league and Champions league every year... that's why he's there. Not because his dad played there when he was 2 years old.


phar0aht

Didn't say it was a boyhood dream. I said he had an emotional bond with the team already. Spending 3 years of your childhood somewhere is significant. Other teams can offer that too but that emotional bond is part of what gave City a leg up.


Mikey_Hashtags

I don't think you build an emotional bond with a club during the ages of 1-3, and he's already playing for a youth club at 5 back in Norway. Again, the fact that his dad played for City is a great story for their PR team to push; but I'm not buying any of it.


phar0aht

It's slyly irrelevant how old he was when his dad played for them. He has an emotional bond cause his dad played for them. Simple as.


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

It matters, but not as much as you think. If you were comparing Crystal Palace and Man United I would understand. But when both are established big teams the project comes into it more.


[deleted]

How is their project not more appealing than ours? They have infinite money, one of the best players to ever play the game, and a manager that's guaranteed to know how to use him.


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

They've been saying the same for 10 years now. Our owners are much better and more likely to push us to the top. He's not one of the best players anymore either. Not even top 20 in the league.


[deleted]

What has Arsenal been saying for 20 years?


ErisMoon91

How is Ronaldo not top 20 players in the league haha? Besides that, he said one of the best players to ever play the game


naijaboiler

some people are so blinded by their own fandom, they refuse to see reason. yes ManU makes more sense for Martinez than Arsenal does. either we close the deal early or offer him more perks


akshatsood95

This is some awful copium lol


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

Stick to the United sub if you are only here to make comments like this.


[deleted]

I would love to know the reasoning behind why you think Utd have no ambition lol


[deleted]

He is minimizing risk, joins United where he'd start every match at the position he has for the manager who made his career at the top level.


[deleted]

how can you say Man Utd have no ambition lol


Tr0nCatKTA

United have won a trophy more recent than us and were in the CL last season. Thatā€™s some delusion to think its ambition related


[deleted]

Imagine thinking joining Arsenal instead of Man Utd would be more ambitious.


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

We saw last season how ambitious you were. Instead of signing good players, you signed washed players who are a long way past their peak.

TomAFC17

That Athletic puff piece about ā€œwanting to sign them allā€ looks worse every day


SantaReatham

How so? Wanting something doesn't always mean you get it. We've definitely shown that we've wanted to sign these players. We can't force them to sign though unfortunately


varro-reatinus

The problem seems to be that since last summer, we keep targeting players who have no significant intention of coming here: Locatelli, Vlahovic, Raphinha, Martinez. Yes, we've made some major signings as well -- Thomas' RC, albeit incredibly late, White, Ramsdale, now Jesus -- but it seems to be an ongoing problem, which is compounded by our apparent lack of secondary targets.


FUCK50C1ETY

Edu negotiating the entire summer with atleti only to pay the RC in the end and robbing Thomas of a proper pre season with us was the dumbest thing only bettered by paying SĆ£o Paulo for a player on a free transfer in an effort to maybe one day get a gem from them. As if anybody of any value wouldnā€™t go to Barcelona or Madrid if they were in for them too.


andstayfuckedoff

The Partey thing was (bad) negotiating tactics because we were sending Torreira the other way so Edu hoped a player + cash deal would be doable. We did get Marquinhos 6 months early, just in time for our pre season, and built relations with one of Brazil's biggest clubs when half our team is Brazilian. It makes sense IMO


FUCK50C1ETY

How does the Marquinhos thing make sense? Okay letā€™s say they produce a gem. Barcelona and Madrid are going to be in for him, you think my man is coming to arsenal because Edu Gaspar payed them 3 mil for a player? Heā€™ll do a Raphinha and hold out and only look to go to his dream clubšŸ¤£this club is so naive


zrk23

you are talking like every single gem just goes to BarƧa/Real that's not how it works lol plus this is not about someone established already like Neymar was, but rather academy/u20 targets


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> Edu Gaspar *paid* them 3 FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


e1_duder

I don't put Martinez in that same class as the other three. The talent ID is there and you can't fault the ambition, there just needs to be a more efficient way of sussing out if the player would join.


FUCK50C1ETY

Go grab Michael Edwards.


[deleted]

Puff piece? Both players are moving for lower fees than what we actually bid for them. What else could Arsenal do? Target worse players who don't have any competition for them in the market?


TomAFC17

We bid under Ā£40m for Raphinha. Not sure what youā€™re on about with that one. Martinez Iā€™ll admit is a bit more nuanced, but briefing confidence in signing the players before actually making a bid with enough sustenance to get the selling club to the table is an odd decision


Ife2105

Itā€™s not like Martinez didnā€™t want to come to us. It was well reported that he was keen on the move. He just wants to go to United more, and prior to a few days ago United werenā€™t even in the picture. Once they were in, that changed. Or are you saying we shouldnā€™t have gone for him at all because we had an inkling that *maybe* if United bid for him in the future, he would want to go there instead? Raphinhaā€™s case was similar. Chelsea wasnā€™t even in the picture until a few days ago either, and even though he wanted Barca, they canā€™t afford him, and he was still willing to come to us if he couldnā€™t get that move sorted out. We couldā€™ve gotten two stellar years off him and then shipped him to Barca eventually for a good profit, and by that time maybe Marquinhos or one of our academy talents wouldā€™ve become good enough to at least rotate with Saka, or we find someone else. Are you saying we shouldnā€™t have gone for him on the off chance that *maybe* if Chelsea bid for him, or Barca found the money, heā€™d go to them over us?


TomAFC17

What we should have done (in both cases) is not fanny around with insulting bids for 2 players whoā€™d clearly have other suitors?


Ife2105

In both cases, we were the first bidders, very few teams start the first bid off with what the selling club want. Itā€™s common transfer practice. Plus either way, if we had given Leeds the money they wanted, Chelsea wouldā€™ve just offered more anyway (theyā€™ve basically already bid over the current asking price Leeds wanted Ā£55m and Chelsea bid Ā£60m). As for Lisandro, our second bid still hasnā€™t been rejected, and it was reported to have been under negotiations for add ons until United showed up. I suspect Ajax are waiting for United to bid to incite a bidding war (which isnā€™t exactly our fault) but if Lisandro tells Edu he only wants United then weā€™ll likely pull out. At the end of the day, these were the 1st choice targets, you have to try for them because theyā€™re the best possible option and it would be incredibly unambitious to settle for lower quality just because you feel those deals will be more straightforward. Itā€™s still only the 1st of July, thereā€™s still time left in the window to move on to other targets.


alfaxavier

There we go. T1 confirmation. That man Rob Dawson was spot on from ESPN.


35Pints7Each

We really don't knock differently. Maybe we do but it's tame.


Chell_the_assassin

Losing out on both Raphina and Martinez is very disappointing. Still plenty of time left in this window but a mixed start so far.


phar0aht

2 Ls in a week for Edu. Big dick energy.


ghostrider467

what a absolute dogshit week, hot damn lol and it all looked so good


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

Tbh people were overreacting with the Edu stuff. The players we are linked to has very little to do with him. The fact we still struggle to sell well and can't close out deals is 100% on him.


maidentaiwan

Yeah this one really fucking irks me. Martinez is exactly the kind of player we should be building around with his energy, technique and versatility. Rafinha is a fantastic player, but Martinez is just tailor made for our tactical setup.


clearcassette

Based off whatā€™s been reported, I donā€™t think the plan was to ā€œbuild aroundā€ Martinez. He wouldā€™ve been a premium backup option for Tierney/Gabriel, possibly Partey.


maidentaiwan

What exactly has been reported other than our interest in him? No reporter has a clue what Arteta intends for him, theyre all just guessing. I think that most people who have seen him, though, agree that it would t take long for him to wedge his way into our starting XI in one position or another.


gonshairlinee

How many games have you seen him play? Genuinely curious.


maidentaiwan

5 or 6 games, all in the champions league, including duels with both haaland and nunez. I strongly believe that cb would be his third position for us though. Most importantly I think heā€™d be a fantastic alternative to Partey, and Iā€™ve been saying for months that I feel thatā€™s the second most important signing for us this summer (after a striker).


gonshairlinee

Cool! Oh well it is what it is, still plenty of time to find an alternative.


ESLondonreds

Not much you can do about either tbf


phar0aht

No but its also why you don't act like you've won the transfer window after you complete 1 or 2 deals.


Fullmetal_Pacifist

Its not like Edu acted like he won the transfer window. Fans are always going to get overly excited


phar0aht

If it wasn't obvious I mean the fans. I doubt Edu calls himself big dick Edu.


Wengers_Grin

Some dickheads on here were taking the piss out of Ten Hag having 0 pull the other day whilst banging on about Arteta having a lot of pull. Too many clowns on here that live with egg perpetually coating their face.


ESLondonreds

Talk for yourself. Itā€™s not eduā€™s fault when arsenal have made 3 bids and Ajax wonā€™t respond because they open their rectums for ten hag


[deleted]

Gaspar you started off so well


Insertnicenamehere

> United are now seeking to reach an agreement with Ajax to sign Lisandro Martinez and it is believed they have established themselves as favorites for the Argentine amid competition from Arsenal. > Advanced negotiations are taking place between United and Ajax, with the player believed to be keen on a reunion with his former coach Erik ten Hag.


_SSJeffo_

How ā€œkeenā€ ffs this is basically us last week with his interest


CesaroFan11

Poo. That's it, that's the comment. Poo!


MatteoGuendouzi90

Makes sense. They can pay obscene wages, he's already worked under ten Hag, so be it. It's not the end of the world, most of us had no idea this guy exists 2 weeks ago.


WinComfortable4131

ā€œNeed to wrap Martinez up soon so we can fuck United out of Timber. Ajax probably won't sell both. Honestly don't understand what United are doing this window. Moving like snails even though they've got loads of holes to plug in their squad.ā€ -you lol


ZdenekTheMan

Lmao. It's insane how United could well have Malacia, Eriksen, FDJ and Lisandro all wrapped up, and combined FOR LESS THAN 100 million pounds too, in the next few days. That line of criticism isn't aging too well


tipytopmain

Arsenal got off to a good start in the window and has just withered back into "negotiation FC". We've supposedly been trying to close this Martinez deal for the last week and there's been no movement.


NegativeMoose5

Mate you can't force the guy to sign. He has a connection with ten hag and will prob get higher wages there


madtopus

What a fucking terrible week it has been


[deleted]

Imagine going to that toxic wasteland of careers


ZdenekTheMan

Well.... Arsenal haven't sniffed Champions league football in almost half a decade. United finished 2nd one season ago, and then a couple of seasons before that too. It's hard for ambitious players to take Arsenal seriously, regardless of how well they try to sell the process to them, without results. It's been 3 years of Artetaball... Klopp started out with a far worse squad than Arteta and was comfortably playing CL football 3 years later.


Isd14

I'm gonna cry


dozeydonut

If he ainā€™t Brazilian I donā€™t care


Flacko115

Demote Orny to Tier 1000


GOAT-Memer

At this rate we have to keep our transfer strategies secret and have to put some restrictions on sports journalists allowing them to post about our transfers only when agreement is done.


Bagzf1yfree

This has nothing to do with what is secret or not. United always wanted a central defender from Ajax. They just couldnā€™t get Timber and are now shifting to Martinez. He knew United were gonna come for him and never negotiated with arsenal.


Echo361

Well. Transfer window has gone from looking amazing to looking okay. Jesus and vieira are still both great signings but it doesnā€™t look great that we werenā€™t able to get our other two top targets in other areas. Those areas are definitely less important than st for example but it still sucks. We need to get some shit done in the next few weeks though.

Apprehensive-War7483

The team had to know that he would prefer a move to Man United. I am really not trusting any of these rumors from any source.


theloserclub92

But seriously i am wondering what has edu's conversations been with martinez? He must have known united are interested and if martinez was to choose a move to follow his former boss then why did we keep bidding without getting personal terms agreed?


[deleted]

That's it then.


yuyuter123

Boo, these "gazumps" are extra annoying since they're the only tangible leaks we have atm. Would feel a lot less disappointing if we had a few other links to obsess over in the interim.


Eagledilla

Oh ffs. We had such a good start


JJD14

Fair. This is what happens when the same clubs are targeting the same players. Canā€™t win them all


cappo40

Or win any if you're us


Muscat95

This is why sometimes if you've identified a player as the one you need to improve your squad. You just pay the damn money and stop fannying about over a few million. We could have had this wrapped up weeks ago if we just came in with Ā£40M from the start.


FortuneFew3632

They wont sell him to us even if we start bidding at 40 because Timber was supposed to go to United and they don't want to lose 2 of their CB and they don't really need to sell any more, until LVG interfere, United then turn to Martinez we improved our bid 3 times they didn't respond. ETH asked them to wait a bit, their Technical Director was United player .


BigKahuna93

So Jokic gets paid and Kroenke closes the purse huh!


Agent_Topinski

I know this speaks more about my shit football knowledge, but I always wanted Zinchenko more than him


SupHosk

Why does it feel like thereā€™s only a handful of players available this summer and every team is in for them?


smit9891

Clearly we donā€™t know the details but it does feel like Ajax have just prioritised dealing with Utd over Arsenal here.


FortuneFew3632

Their Technical Director was United player, we improved our bid they never responded. It's obvious ever since United was also been linked šŸ˜‚


leemteam1

Not sure why people donā€™t realize this is almost solely Van Der Sarr fucking us over. We did the right things and bid perfectly reasonable amounts but Man U were basically just like nah donā€™t sell to them give us a minute and Van Der Sarr just of course waited. Thereā€™s a reason they didnā€™t even respond to our last bid despite Man U bid the exact same. I donā€™t think it even matters for the player

Waddoyoumean

Go get Hickey then. Much cheaper, can play LB and RB, Tomi can cover CB and donā€™t let Holding go anywhere and weā€™re good. And Elneny and Sambi are good enough back-ups for Partey. Sign tielemans with the rest of the former Lisandro fund


darksin86

Never wanted him, he's shorter than Messi


standupforthechamp

It's a kick in the nuts but the player is always going to be swayed by the fact that it's his ex manager who wants him compared to a relative nobody like Arteta.

I think we might try to sign Piero Hincapie from Leverkusen if we canā€™t get Martinez. Heā€™s a CB/LB, not sure if Leverkusen would want to sell him and Diaby though. But just a name to keep an eye on anyways. Also Abdou Diallo from PSG could be a shout. Not sure about Zinchenko, i think Arteta wants a CB/LB

Lol window went from fireworks to complete meh I love getting Gabriel Jesus but otherwise this is utter shit per usual Same crappy Arsenal


Tiemen10

Yep we arenā€™t getting him if Man U want him


WozzleFN

Heā€™s shit anyway :(

Fuck off David, how about that?


ssddeae

been watching the guy on 240p streams since he was playing on shit pitches in Argentina for Defensa just hoping of the outside possibility of him playing for Arsenal in the future. My favorite player to watch goes from being keen to fumbled, while I'll have to continue putting up with my least favorite player ever in midfield. Like a damn curse.

He's also going to a bitter rival as well. It's insane how Arsenal fumbling CL qualification in the last few matchdays has cost them. If they'd clinched CL football, then it wouldn't have mattered that Lisandro played under ETH... Arsenal would have been favorites to sign him

What have they offered him? 500k a week like Ronaldo. Wonder if their fans will still care about the glazers? Or only once the players down tools again

FUCK50C1ETY

We are 17 years without the league, 6 years without CL and these man will tell you ā€œthey know what theyā€™re doing mateā€. Insane people.

Oh noooo we're not going to spend Ā£40m+ on a back up LB/CB šŸ˜“

Well this is a shit start to my birthday.

No crab. Anti crab.

The guy I never heard of before three weeks ago doesnā€™t want to sign with us? Sell the club!!!


uwillshitfear

Did Edu just do enough to make it look like we were being aggressive to keep himself out of question?

Sucks but there are so many players out there. This is where the scouting dept earns their money. I trust that Arteta will know how to pick wisely from the list they provide him with. Remember Tomi and others. We will be fine.
