Man begrænser sig hvis man giver Osimhen for høj løn og kan samtidig have svært ved at få ham væk igen (hej Özil)

Jeg får travlt hvis vi signer Osimhen.

Jeg er sådan set enig med dig, andib. Osihmen er ingen drømmesigning, men udbuddet af 9´ere er lidt sløjt. Tre gode år med Osihmen og så afsted til sandkassen med ham, ville dog være en ok løsning.

Men i starten af vinduet havde jeg ham heller ikke ligefrem på nogen ønskeliste. Men den ønskeliste har Berta heldigvis været ret ligeglad med indtil videre ;)

Det er for sent at vi lander en signing nu er det ikke?

3 timer til vinduet lukker og 6 timer til alle dokumenteret skal være på plads.
Så nej, der sker tit mange handler de sidste timer og minutter.
Men det er klart man er bagud på point hvis man først snakker med en klub/spiller for førstegang nu, men sådan er det næppe man har ofte mange jern i ilden på samme tid.

Nogen flere end andre ...

Langt skriv om slagets gang fra HoA, til de interesserede:

Summer plan

“Feb/March - Spoke to Julian, who was relaxed and open to all options.Also had serious interest in Kenan Yildiz leading up to the summer. Approached Juve, who said absolutely no chance.

Early summer: Worked for months on Morgan Rogers. Mikel’s main target, after Kenan was not for sale. Got Morgan on board and knew we could do it for £85 - 100m but decided to play the field to spin plates. Waited too long, and now the Elliott A. deal dictates the new market price. Villa now want more than £115m. We check in with Barcola, who is also in a similar price range.
The club decide, after weeks of delaying, to finally engage in some talks with Villa, who tell us they want an amount close to the Elliott A. deal. While we delay, Alonso has spoken to Morgan, Behdad has spoken to Nassef, and they wrap up months of our work and delays in 36 hours. We were even offered the chance to match and refused.

We then internally agree that Morgan was not worth that, so we pivot to the market opportunity that was “Vini Jr.” The hierarchy accept this is a generational signing and say, “Let’s do whatever it takes to get him.” They agree personal terms and leave the final decision up to him. He chose Madrid. The club are then deflated but satisfied with their efforts in this particular case.

They then pivot back to Kenan in a desperate attempt to convince Juve with creative deals, such as using Martinelli, but the answer is clear: not for sale.
We have been checking in with Alvarez this whole time, who is fixated on Barça despite being told it will never happen. They realise he is the only “level raiser” left, so push hard for Julian, who doesn’t believe his Barça dream is over.

They check on Gakpo (I’m sure many other names too). N’Diaye’s agent is saying, “Come get me.” They bite on the Fofana offer and consider it to some degree.
In the end, they feel disappointed with the outcome of the whole window. Its been below par for sure.

Personally, I tried to voice my concerns early when I saw patterns during the Morgan saga. I was alarmed because you don’t just become competent overnight after being this “dithery” and hesitant, trying to spin plates. Read the post I quoted.

Side note, but a big side note, because the truth matters : They explored the sale of Myles via Kia to understand his market value. Myles always said he wanted to stay. He is settled now, and the matter is closed.

I am a fan just like you. I also, like you, get excited when MY club promises big things. I think if there is disappointment within the club about the conclusion of the summer, then fans should be entitled to voice their opinions too. Again, your frustrations are justified. Many who know more feel the exact same way.

My argument is PSG signed Doué, who at the time was on the come-up. The market is there for shrewd people to take advantage of. Mikel deserves world-class people around him. Premier League champions, UCL finalists, and we end up with a weaker attack?

Man City rebuilt their whole midfield in one summer and we have not signed a true world class attacker in how many windows? 5 or 6?

It was the summer of Premier League champions, but we didn’t plan nor execute a Champions summer.

I am gutted and very worried we are very short on numbers, but I will always back Mikel and the lads. They give it their all.Mikel, being the person he is, will want to now focus on what’s next, and that is Chelsea.

If anyone at Arsenal is reading this, fans are not crying about a shiny new toy, they back the squad and understand we are in good place but wanted to be in a great place.”


Jeg tror stadig, at der lander en panikhandel inden lukketid. Men tænker Berta skal ud efter det show her.

Ja lad os da fyrer alle dem som køber og sælger spiller, når vi ikke lige får fyldt de huller vi har.
Den gruppe som sammen med spillerne lige endelig har vundet PL.
Er vores tålmodighed så kort, så vi allerede vil af med Berta🤔
Lad dem nu lige arbejde et par år sammen, så må vi se hvordan det går.
Vi kan vel nok blive enige om, at de fleste er glade for at klubben var tålmodige med Arteta selvom det ikke gik så godt i starten af hans tid.
Jeg tror på at ledelsen i længden træffer de rigtige beslutninger for klubben.
