Maybe, although it doesn’t seem to have bothered them before.

Good signing will score goals for them.
Looked pretty average in a very good City side, misses way too many chances to be a really great striker, be interesting to see how this goes in a shit arsenal side
well when all they get is a 50k fine payable at a pound a week why would they

Could be a very good signing. Still relatively young and has a good goal record.

Still don't completely understand this one.
Christ I've seen it all
Reckon he'll be a great signing for Arsenal.
It's a move that suits all parties.

Will score more goals than Haaland this season.......
That's a bold claim!
I’m rarely wrong with these things.....

Jesus is a really weird one. I hope he does well because it'd be nice to see a good Arsenal side again.

Imagine being an Arsenal fan.
From the outside looking in it seems like they've had the same issues for about 17 years.

It does feel ingrained in them.
They spend a tonne of money, but the spine of the team still seems powderpuff.
Odd - as at their best, they were a bunch of animals.
Think a lot of the problems stemmed from Wenger trying out smart everyone by signing relatively unknown players in a ‘wait till you see this boy’ sort of manner, and they’d generally turn out average.*
Then carried into current arsenal, signing guys like Xhaka, Elneny, Perez, Gabriel.
On the flip side, I’m not sure how much of a budget they’ve been working with yearly since Henry left about 16 years ago so maybe that’s the market they had to shop in
*Probably more ‘unglamorous, decent’ players rather than ‘unknown’
It's clichéd but they've not really replaced Vieira, 17 years on.
Partey is a huge player for them if he stays fit, just need a solid partner for him.

Not sure there has ever been a side that got the balance between skill and physicality so perfectly as Wenger's Arsenal did.
Then he developed a fetish signing midgets who loved playing 1-2s and they've never stopped since
Leeds looking to sign Gnonto.
Recently made Italy team and been very good, pretty surprising considering the level he’s playing at.
Seen talk that Feyenoord had agreed a €4m deal, but now Leeds looking to ‘hijack’ it. On the other hand, football Italia says Zürich want €18m
I’m more inclined to believe the latter

As a side point, how depressing is this 24/7 news pish. Nothing I miss more than sitting in-front of SSN all night trying to find out what was happening.
Vividly remember being 8/9 and glued to it as the Arshavin deal was unfolding.

6 year deal for Phillips. That's Jim McLean contracts

Didn't see the point in City signing Grealish, don't see the point in Phillips either or a logical fit TBH
Phillips will take over Fernandinhos role? Rodri will still be the main man in there and it given Phillips a while to settle in

Had to laugh at one of the stories around Tielemans. There's chat Arsenal are considering going back in after cooling their interest but now Newcastle are apparently interested, however the main stumbling block for them could be convincing Tielemans to join as he would struggle to find a place ahead of Guimaraes, Shelvey and Joelinton!

Standard Barcelona-type deal! They make Martin Bain look like a shrewd businessman

£140 odd million for them too. They are going to need to win this CL very soon.

I like Jesus but unsure if he’s the out and out striker Arsenal really need.
Paisleybear30

Think Jesus makes sense for all involved, he's probably not a clinical 25+ a season striker but I get the impression Arteta and Arsenal are aiming to spread the goals about a bit more. He's good all round and fairly versatile so should fit in in terms of style.
I think he's also about 4th in the all time EPL goal involvements per minute list, in amongst some top players as well, so he must be doing something right

I'm actually quite surprised at the Gabriel Jesus deal as I am sure he told both Pep and the Brazil manager that he wanted to play off the right hand-side rather than through the middle. Maybe he's changed his mind?

If he ends up in the Championship then that's an utter travesty, especially for that money.

Sheffield United set to sign former Bordeaux defender Anel Ahmedhodžić (23) in €3.5m deal from Malmö. (L'Éq)
This makes me sad when you think about the market we are shopping in.

Really depressing seeing guys like Ahmedhodžić, Guus Till and Jens Odgaard all go for 3-4m who would all be great young players for us to freshen up the team.

RTV? Completed it mate!
That's gonna disappoint @Grigo Yossarian who's been keen to see him come to Rangers I think.
Aye I see him and Fernandes as playing similar positions. Suppose he's a good back up for Fernandes

Well, I think that’s a fair price VB, but if we were to get another CD, I’d prefer Joseph Okumu.
A bit more expensive probably, but I’d prefer him from Gent.

Part of me wishes he stayed at Brentford but he deserves another shot at the top

RTV? Completed it mate!
It is a reasonable price mate, I agree. I'm just not convinced we are looking for another starting CB. If Simpson and/or Katic go then it will be someone with more experience than King (who I think will get his chances this season) but probably not quite good enough to challenge Helander/Souttar.
Not heard us linked with any CBs for several months now.

I think that’s an excellent signing for them. Better player than Fernandes for me.

Agree.
I guess I’m more thinking about a Bassey replacement if he goes, given our financial circumstances ?
