He's gonna be confused when he's asked to pose for a photo and they hand him an Arsenal shirt to hold up

Well damn and we spent all that time and effort debating if an Instagram like meant anything.

Looks a very promising talent. Fair play. I guess they are better placed to make signings like this currently, players will be a lot more confident of game time there and will see them as a stepping stone.

Seriously? We made our bitter rivals, on a budget of 40m, pay an extra 10m (and probably higher wages as well) for a player that they can’t even use for a year, and you can’t see why we bothered?

Supposedly this is simply not true.

Well whilst they're celebrating winning the transfer window, I fucking hope with every fibre of my body we absolutely smash the ****s at the Emirates this year.

Do people still believe that arsenal have only got a £40M budget?

Emery said they’re after 4 big players. They’re just buying Saliba for £30M, they want Tierney and have bid £25M for him. They want Zaha and bid £40M for him... yes they undervalue everyone but even if they get them for that amount, that’s still £95M plus wages. And Ceballos if he goes there will pick up a few million too.

They’re not in as bad a state as some think they are. I still firmly believe we’ll finish above them etc but they’re not anywhere near as fucked as some think.

They look like they are paying the original figures banded about at the beginning before our supposed 'interest' ... It really doesn't add up at all.

The owners an gooner. He let his fandom get in the way right up to the last possible second when the Ndombele transfer happened.

Yeah that was on my mind when making the post and seeing their sheer glee here, bastards.

And some Brazilian kid from Gremio for circa £36m

People are getting ahead of themselves and writing Arsenal off too soon. Them writing us off is partially how we managed to sneak up on them and overtake them. We must learn from their mistakes

Will probably sell someone, they will pay small amount this year for Saliba, probably the same with Tierney and Everton.
