Quote from: ONeill on August 02, 2026, 10:19:22 PMI just find it hard to believe.

His people must be using Arsenal as a bargaining chip for one hell of a deal from Madrid?

He'll never get one hell of a deal at Madrid. Mbappe and Bellingham ahead in pecking order. Still a chance he sits for a year and takes a huge fee next year.

ONeill

Was thinking of other comparable signings.

Bergkamp and Henry were monumental in terms of what happened afterwards but at the time they were sort of a failed Italian experience.

Charlie Nicholas maybe but never won anything worthwhile. Ozil the same.

Campbell?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Campbell?

Campbell is the biggest transfer of all time. No leaks, couple journalists at it cause thought Richard Wright. But in terms of going for a superstar this is bigger. This is one of biggest names in football. Reverse Galactico.

ONeill

Unsettles me a bit. Why would someone like that want to join Arsenal?

I know Arsenal won titles in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 20s and in that regard are the team you'd want to join, but, financially, they're minnows?

Self made = financially minnows, lawl

Vini Jr exit exactly the kind of statement Jose would be looking to make

Personally I'd rather they spunked less dough and took a much more calculated punt on a player

Getting flashbacks of Ozil and Sanchez who blew hot and cold

Kvaratskhelia the one that got away 18 months ago, they'd be double Euro champs if they'd believed, the eye test alone should have made him number 1 target at the time

Sanchez rarely blew cold. He was a beast at Arsenal.
