sorry for stats noncery but conceding 9 from an xG faced of 18 is impressive whichever way you look at it really

that’s a proper “we tried” bid from the spurs board, isn’t it. No way are Palace accepting a bid this late, especially when they lost Chalobah this month too.

I hope he’s all right, like. He looks absolutely awful there.

I did not ask for the gift of prophecy

yeah this isn’t going to go very well is it

Arsenal ahead through unnamed premier league footballer

Mbuemo has absolutely stunk the place up down at the gtech.

yeah, I’ve heard this explanation and it doesn’t make much sense to me. Gordon was going to be sold but we sold Minteh and Anderson instead to solve that one. The Gordon rumours had gone died down before we started bidding for Guehi. Was similar with Isak who wasn’t really linked strongly anywhere, but there were tenuous links to Liverpool around the same time as the Gordon links. This was all during the Euros. We were still going after Guehi in August. Likewise Bruno’s release clause had expired long before we were bidding for Guehi. I think it’s probably more likely we that we have to get maximum value for money with our signings, and that’s hard to do in January so we’re just not bothering with incomings. Outgoings are fine because we can take advantage of some desperate teams. The problem I have with that approach is that we need some quality to come in this season. Everyone will want out come summer if we don’t have Europe again.

nah, can't be fucked with looking at spreadsheets to understand psr. Nobody has really provided a reasonable explanation of how we were bidding £60m plus for Guehi in the summer and now we've got nowt despite sales.

if he wants to go and Krafth is coming back then fine, I guess. I just don't get why we aren't signing anyone

I doubt we’d agree to an appearance based condition given that we know he’s not good enough to barely get a kick for us. Seems more likely it’d be if Juve finish in the top half or something.

I don’t see how we would agree to a conditional loan where the obligation conditions aren’t more or less certain to be met tbh. There’d be nothing in it for us if we did that.

Think this is why we've been much better when Isak has been more involved in the build up like he was in most of the winning run. It pulls teams about a bit more and makes us less predictable. He barely came deep at all today. Didn't get much central play from Gordon or Murphy either.

Tino has had a poor season imo. You want him to kick on because he is so promising but he's regressed since last season. It's a shame Trippier hasn't been able to offer adequate competition.

great news after a shitty day. We absolutely have to make a signing now, right?
