Arsenal Thread - 2023/24

Arsenal fans on X going down the racism route because Saka is on the back of The Sun with the headline ‘Plane awful’.

How is that racist? And I know it’s because they’ve used his photo, but how is that racist?

Because it's not Foden

The letter and now the leak.

They certainly don’t mind doing the dirty work do they.

Yet they are seen by the London football press as one of the bastions of English football, who should be respected and looked up to.

I read that as bastards of English football who should be locked up too.

Well this season they can factor in CL revenues from last year, plus CL this year which is higher revenues due to more matches.

And only City earned more revenue from the PL last season.

True re Jesus' salary - he's on £250k per week, so I'd imagine Saudi but noise of him leaving has died down somewhat. They'll have a clear out of Ramsdale, Nketieh, Nelson, Smith Rowe, Patino etc and those players alone I'd imagine would get something like;

Ramsdale - £30m
Nketieh - £25m
Nelson - £15m
Smith Rowe - £20m
Patino - £7m

Plus if Zinny and Jesus go I'd imagine that's probably another £70m+ for the pair.

In this climate those figures are optimistic and no way are you getting £70m for our two cast offs. Don't forget embedded wage contracts will affect you as well.

The plains of africa? So Rwanda then??

[Merlin's Magic]

A real shame his trophy count nowhere near matches his ego

I am not even able to see him in the top 5 list though!!

Ruben Dias
Manuel Akanji
John Stones
Nathan Ake
Josko Gvardiol

A complete insult to actual racism claims then. Scumbags.

I think they won a league title before us, but everything else is spot on.

A fully fit John Stones is in the same bracket as Saliba (although totally different players). The others aren't as good as him based on the season just finished although at the start of the season Saliba said Dias was the best defender in the PL, he just had a mixed season this year so I guess on form he's in the same bracket also.

Its hard to make a comparison, if saliba and gabriel were left as exposed as our cbs are then it would be a fairer comparison

Yeah that's fair enough. For example statistically David Raya is the best keeper in the league in terms of shut outs. But we know he's not actually the best keeper.
