@Astrealix@lemmy.world just wanted to thank you for all the effort you’re putting into posting new content on this community. It’s made my switch to Lemmy a lot easier.

All good! I love this fucking club, especially with how we're actually trying for the first time in forever, and I'm too bored not having anything to refresh on Lemmy so i'm just stealing from Twitter instead XD

You seem like an awesome person. I'm glad you're part of this community. Sometimes it feels like it's just you and me talking on threads.

Echoing what others said. Thanks for all the content. Makes me definitely less reliant on Reddit which is nice.

I just steal from twitter my man you literally got recognised by the club itself for content, I should be thanking you

I follow from my mastodon account but sometimes post from my Lemmy account too.

Announce Mbappe! 🤣

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Is there any player called Ant we can sign?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Ngl, disappointed that Xavi Simons would go back to PSG. Man's gonna get wasted there.

I'm thinking of a different type of treble - Conference league, Europa League and Champions League. Not asking for a downgrade - just the fact that no one's done all three yet.

Will we be making more signings or will we be working on the outgoings at this point?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Surely we're done by this point... surely... my heart can't take any more

9point6@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Was just saying in the other thread—We've got all this done and dusted so early, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if there's more business to come

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

That being said, iirc TNAT said there's more

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I can see us signing a couple of talented prospects (like that kid from Brazil who apparently Edu likes). But for big name signings, we're probably done. Though I'd personally like a bit more coverage in defensive midfield. Rice, Jorginho, and Elneny are okay. But two of them are getting older, and Elneny is now pretty injury-prone. I am concerned about Rice getting burned out.

raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 3y

I bet there's one more big opportunistic signing towards the end of the window

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

We still have Partey for now.

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (5 replies)

What do we F5 for now?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Sales ?

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I hope we replace Partey tbh. Even apart from off pitch issues, he doesn’t perform for half the season (injuries, form).

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I think with Rice rotating his injury problems will be less but he is so inconsistent. I honestly prefer Jorginho in important games cuz while his ceiling isn't as high his floor is way higher

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

And we still have Pyramid Pirlo for another season. I'm guessing he'll only be popping up in a few domestic cup matches, barring serious injuries.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

I could see him in the CL group stage — just for more bangers. I may be a bit biased lol

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 3y

Think the £200m transfer budget thing was true? With the sales pending, it'll not be impossible to keep the net spend nearby that margin.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Can barely read twitter while it's down but Mika Biereth has 64 now that Rice took his 41.

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Wasn't Biereth on his way out anyway?
