Morning all.
Day four of the transfer window and whilst clubs around us are getting a deal or two over the line, Arsenal have done nothing. Or at least nothing has been made official. Man Utd have signed Cunha and appear to be on the verge of securing the signature of Mbeumo if the newspapers are to be believed and Chelsea, well they are doing what they usually do, spend money likes it’s going out of fashion. They already have six goalkeepers on their books but are reported to be after another, AC Milan’s Mike Maignan. Some might say they are showing ambition whereas others might suggest the club is being poorly run. Liverpool however, have signed just the one player in Frimpong, a replacement for Alexander-Arnold. Yes they might on the verge of adding Florian Wirtz but as yet, nothing is concrete. This morning, it’s been announced that Manchester City have agreed £46.3m deal with AC Milan for Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. I wonder if his nickname is Rudolph.
Honestly, I couldn’t care less what other clubs do really as long as Arsenal do whatever is in their plans. We don’t have a bad squad, far from it, it’s just too small and lacking in certain areas. Remember, we got our hopes up of Mudryk, I’ll admit it, I was pretty cheesed off when he opted for Chelsea instead of us but look how his Chelsea career turned out and where is is now. Arsenal certainly dodged a bullet and a very expensive one at that.
Whatever Arsenal do this summer, they have to get things right. Or at least as right as they can within the clubs budget and more importantly, the players. Cunha is an exciting player and yes, I’d love him at Arsenal in principle but how many times would he see red in an Arsenal kit?
Just because Martin Zubimendi posted something on instagram about the rumours relating to his next move, all he’s really said is he’s concentrating on the Spain international duties before his future is decided. Just because Alonso was/is his idol, it doesn’t mean he’s about to sign for Real Madrid either but if he does, then that’s his prerogative but the Premier League, the toughest in football, is often the attraction rather than a league where competition is limited until Champions League football kicks off. Also, if he signs for Real Madrid then his heart was never in a move to Arsenal anyway and we need players who want to play for the club.
I read this morning that Mbeumo wants £250,000 a week if he’s to sign for Utd which is bonkers IF true.
This time of year is always frustrating, especially as other clubs start to move in the transfer window but I’m sure Arsenal are busy behind the scenes and it’s only a matter of time before players are through the Arsenal door. (She hopes)
