As long Arsenal is in range of City at the turn of the calendar, that's all matter. Above City in 2023. Behind City 2024.
Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete
You do realize that the it has been reported Napoli kept changing terms with the Saudi club and that is why the transfer fell through, right? £55 mil was never enough to get Osimhen.ADL was accepting €65M for Osimhen. That’s £55M. Arsenal sold Eddie is going for £30M, it’s not like the money is an issue. Essentially £25M to upgrade Eddie.
Osimhen is on £300k/week and it was reported he’d take a bit of a paycut for PSG, but not a 50% like Chelsea was offering.
That’s why I said Edu could have done £200k/a week + tack on some incentives. I mean y’all paying Ode, Kai, Jesus, Rice £240K+ a week.

Osimhen has said many times he wants to play in the Prem. I think he takes you over the line.
33% reduction in weekly wages isnt Taking “a bit of a pay cut”.
Osimhen is good, but not the hyped up “world class striker” some people seem to believe. Same with Toney and Gyokeres or whatever his name is.
There is a reason none of them moved to a top club despite waiting around all summer.
I guarantee their names won’t be mentioned next summer transfer window and it will be some other overhyped player that 99% of the fanbase has never watched play that will be deemed “he is perfect and exactly what we need to win the league.”
I’m good. I trust Edu and Arteta.
No chance in hell Osimhen would ever accept 200K a week.
At some point you have to look at the whole project and trust that Edu knows what he's doing. He watched the Osimhen tape, and saw fugazi. You move on.
Fair, we can agree on that. ADL is hard nose.
Is he better than the option Arsenal currently has at striker, yes. He’s shown that with service, he’ll bang goals consistently. That is what Arsenal need. It’s a game of fine margins.
You could be looking at that chance Kai missed today as the 2pts needed to take you over the line at the end of the season. Still, early days.
Disagree here. The demand for a top striker simply changed this summer. All the big clubs that needed a striker before (and could afford it) are sorted.
Man U - Holjand
Real Madrid - Mbappe
Bayern - Kane
Barca - Lewa plus they’re broke
Pool - Sorted with Jota and Nunez, need reinforcements at the back and MF
PSG - Spent 90M on Muani and still have Ramos
Dortmund - Can’t afford him
City - Haaland
Chelsea - Restructuring their wage structure
But aye, if Arteta wins the league with this squad, I’ll eat my crow. No issues admitting when I’m wrong.
I just don't see how you can say that he's better than Havertz with certainty.

I was with you until the last part. Can we agree that one of, if not, the hardest position to fill on a team is a top/world class striker? They are rare. Few and far between.Fair, we can agree on that. ADL is hard nose.

If we can agree on that, then why would any top team pass on the opportunity to sign this supposed world class striker for 50% of his value and wages?
From the list of teams you mentioned:
Man U - Font have a world class striker
Barcelona - has never let the fact that they are currently broke stop them from signing a player
Liverpool - Are you saying that it is smart business passing on this supposed world class striker in favor of Jota and Nunez???
PSG - They expressed interest for most of the summer but ultimately backed away. I wonder why. Surely they would have happily paid him 50% of his current wage and paid the £55 mil fee you mentioned Napoli would happily accept.
City - Kings of “two world class players in each position” decided to go with no backup striker instead of getting Osimhen…
Chelsea - The team that has spent over £1 billion on nonsense transfers over the last 2 years weren’t willing to pay the asking fee.
Either they are all crazy, or, just maybe these directors and scouts know more than us casual fans do.

villa do not know what a clean sheet means
Barca styling on this same team that Madrid couldn't cut
my biggest fear though is Madrid dropping more points to Barca by el clasico and if they lose, Perez panics and fires Ancelotti and somehow miraculously hires Klopp
