Welcome Willian. If he maintains his physical ability we have a good player adding depth, experience and a cutting edge. Hope he does well for us.

Kia. He can be got rid of later but someone needs to take Arseblog down a peg or two.
I'm low key pleased with this signing, a quality player at the end of his career. Hopefully he can mentor some of the younger ones on his way out.
I can see him contributing significantly under Arteta. Will need the right pieces around him as he's not the type to press often like arteta wants his players to.

Arseblog is more persistent than the coronavirus the c*nt.

Arseblog has his own problems to deal with. All his old twitter racially charged posts are coming out slowly. From calling Salah a terrorist to asking for lashes for Evra.
Man needs to pipe down.

His podcast is quite overrated too. ArsenalVision is way better with Clive spitting facts.

Why so serieuse?
Am I right in assuming that he sat out the FA cup final 2 weeks ago because he was in advanced talks with Arsenal. If yes, he's earned his wages already.

Clive for me understands and explains tactics the best among most Arsenal podcasters.

Welcome Willian. Not a signing I would make but now he's here I hope he'll do well. We certainly need to get some of the load on scoring off Auba's back (if he's still here next season).

Firstly, while Bruno gives the ball away, Man U have been transformed by his arrival due to the positions he takes up and the things he attempts. A bit like Alexis when he was still good - you take the rough because the smooth is a great fit.
As for Grealish, he's the sole creative focal point and primary goal threat. It all goes through him. Good player, but the jury is out as to whether he can be a cog in a machine. Also, he'd cost about £70m more over 3 years if you include the transfer fee...

I've already explained how the figures and their reporting are clearly misleading, even if we take the wording of the articles of gospel.
I've never before heard someone's weekly wage calculated in that way. If the 200k p/w quoted for Auba is likewise inclusive of signing on fee, loyalty payments and maximum possible bonuses, then he's a steal.
Its bollocks. But you wouldn't see that because you are an obsessive agenda monkey with the debating skills of a walnut. (No discrimination required)

No. That was because with Coronavirus killing all live matchdays for the best part of the year, there was no purpose in those people being employed any more.
Its illegal to make people redundant if the job doesn't cease to exist.

Yeah, Clive is excellent.
Arsecast used to be good when it was funny, but that's a while back now. James was the junior guest but he's so much more well informed than Andrew these days. Now, apart from my own podcast (DailyCannonPod - connected to but largely independent from the site - not monetised, not that professional and not particularly ambitious, but at least I do some actual research!), I only listen to AV and The Tuesday Club. Andrew's set up is much more professional than mine (its a business for him - mine was just set up to make up for all my old Gooner mates moving out of London or the UK), but these days he just gives opinions without doing any homework more sophisticated than a tabloid journo. Nice fella by all accounts, though, so don't begrudge him his success.
Liked it more when he used to get the 'Man from the East Lower' and the dearly departed 'Goonerholic' (a genuinely lovely bloke, really kind and warm guy). I always thought LeGrove was a bit of a ****, but he was actually perfectly nice in the Flesh. Amy Lawrence was a diamond too. Proper proper gooner, rather than the John Cross types, and just a really nice person.
Going off on a tangent here I know, but its 1 in the morning and I've had a drink! Have to say, Nacho Monreal was a lovely lovely bloke too. Made it feel like we were doing him a favour when we interviewed him. Good times.

I'll definitely check out your podcast. The thing about Arsenal podcasts is I only listen to them when we win
When we lose it feels like I'm wallowing in the grief of defeat.

Nah in all these Arsenal related podcasts Clive is the most knowledgeable. He has some coaching experience and his analogies are great to bridging the gap from coach to average fan. He had a great line where he compared Saka's positioning from left wing back to midfield as a dial on a thermostat and depending on who the opposition are, is how Saka positions himself. I don't know how to put it in a clearer way but let's just say he has a way with words.
