Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2024/25

IIrc, Arsenal have historically had a tendency to collapse after cup defeats. Even this season, after the FA cup exit to City, it took more than 3 weeks to get a win, with 2 losses and a draw in there.

As much as I don't really care about the Europa, and especially of the nightmare scenario of going out against United again, I fear for the teams mentality if they do exit early.

5 clear with 12 games to go. If I recall correctly the 07/08 team got in the same position. Lot of parallels between that team and this one too, let’s hope the outcome is a little different!

Should be a two horse race with Arsenal and City now.

5 now......this could well derail the rest of Utds season. Confidence would have to be badly hit.

7..... unbelievable.......

Don't remind me. That 2:2 game against Birmingham in the run-un still rankles. Apart from the horrendous Eduardo injury early on, we would have held on for a win but for a bad penalty decision late on against Clichy (which caused our captain Gallas to throw a strop and sit down in the centre circle). We went on a terrible run after that and faded.

I'd like to think if the same happened today, that VAR would intervene to overturn the penalty. At least, we now have a captain who is not a prima donna and puts the team first

Newcastle sniffing around Tierney again. £30m quoted which is absurd. Mad to sell him to them for anything less than £50m, they’re good for it.

It is the going rate for class full backs though. Qualifies as home grown, only doesn't play because of our style... Definitely more than 30 anyway! I really like KT.

I agree 50m is too much for Tierney but the premium of selling to another PL club needs to come in to play and considering we bought him for 25m, 50m is the number for me. Not just any club either but one who is (1) filthy rich and (2) likely to be a direct rival in the coming years. Have seen Chelsea spend £60m on Cucurella so would be pointing them toward that for reference.

if we’re going to go down the rocky road of doing business with Newcastle it has to be at a really good price and 50m is that.

Once we’ve sold Tierney who are our options at left back if Zinchenko was to get injured? We cant be relying on Tomi to be our only cover for both flanks.

I think we should hold onto him, even if he’s not starting we’ll need him or somebody of his caliber next season when we’re playing champions league football.

As far as I know that Polish defender can play on the left. Kiwior? Not saying I’d be happy to see Tierney go or that he’s ready to step up yet

Don’t agree with dumping the Europa for the league because winning builds a good mentality which is important and also gives the subs game time to keep them game fit, with injuries these players might play a big part in the run in of the season. Reiss is a prime example and as stated previously the game at Birmingham ruined the team.

Tomi Kiwor Holding Tierney

Vieira Jorginho ESR Nelson ?

Nkethia.

We would find it hard with that team if we go without first team players.
