I'm bloody over Arsenal, why the hell can't we just sign someone & we can relax a bit. I'm over this window. I bet if we can't get Saliba now we won't get anyone!

This news today feels a bit like the final nail in the coffin of a summer that is becoming quickly humiliating. It's important to note that although we are, historically, a much bigger club than Sp**s and are still a bigger club than them (they haven't won a trophy in 11 years, we've won about 6 in that time); I almost feel resigned to defeat on this one.
It's not because they're better than us. It's not because it would be a good decision. It is simply because they will offer Saint Etienne and Saliba more money than we "can afford". It's the same situation with Malcom - we can't match/outspend Everton in the market and therefore, have conceded defeat. It's important to note that every single failing in the transfer market stems back to lack of investment. Stems back to the **** that is Stan Kroenke.
"Look at our defence, ffs" - Yes, it's a state. Why? Because we can't afford to bring in a new defender. Why? Stan Kroenke is the only owner in the Premier League to not invest a single £ of his own money.
"Look at our midfield. How did we let Aaron go?" Yes, it's seriously lacking in box to box options and wingers. Why? Because we can't afford to bring one in. 'Aul Stan's fault again, I'm afraid. No Zaha. No Malcom. How did we let Aaron go? Because we weren't willing to offer him a contract worthy of a player of his quality in the early stages - ended up temporarily turning the fans against him - and then watched as he sauntered off to a much better club for wages almost double what he probably would have accepted from us if we offered him a contract 1-2 years ago.
All the while, our fans continue to lap up and purchase the "peng" new kit and join the season ticket waiting list. 7 people including some obese Z-list celebrity (who is only there for attention) show up for an anti-Kroenke protest. This club is going in the wrong direction and barely any fans are pointing the finger at the man responsible and it's severely worrying.
Oh yeah, did I mention the most expensive tickets in Europe? For a team that can't outbid Everton and Sp**s? Get a ****ing grip, Arsenal.

Mbappe went to the club in the city he was born in, for twice as much money he could get from us.

If we lose out on this deal after months of negotiating I'm gonna be fuming. Especially if it's to ****ing Tottenham!
Trusting my Italian friend here. hopefully Saliba don't change his mind.
Olley says it's based on the up front payment:

That wouldn't surprise me. I'll be honest considering the sheer lack of movement on Tierney maybe the club saw this coming.
If we let Sp**s get him because they're offering more up front and we don't spend the whole of our "45m" budget by the end of the window I will be fuming

Ahead of the curve as per. Has Benge got his exclusive yet?

He made the wrong choice

Trusting an 18 year old to keep his word.
That’s a bold strategy, cotton.

Looks he's travelling to the tour, so he'll present this as breaking news later tonight.

Is it just me or do Sp**s seem to slowly becoming the more likely club now if we compete for the same signature now unfortunately?

Do the club put up £10-15M up front, probably same as what Sp**s are offering or do we get a CB for now for £15M...
I'm inclined to go with the former, still a better option in the long run imo.

Well still if both bids are agreed it'll be up to player choice?

How can Ornstein say Edu is going to be confirmed imminently when it was up on the Arsenal website on the 9th?

The scenes when Saliba signs for Sp**s they sell Danny Rose and sign Tierney.
We never wanted them anyway.

It was from his interview days ago.
Yep, probably why Romano said Arsenal hope he'll keep his word.
They might be more likely to go for Sessegnon tbh.
