No decision yet on player side. He also has approaches from Europe. No new deal talks at #AFC.

I'm okay with that. A bit risky to let both him and Xhaka leave but if we sign the right replacement it's worth it imo. Oh and is this Ricedo back on the menu?

Yeah I’m happy with 40m. Got him for 50m, he’s 30, and he’s had spells of injuries. Don’t think that’s a bad deal.

Mmmmmm. Ricedo

Feels a bit low ngl, though I guess age is a factor. Feel like we should get 50 for him though, especially with the numbers they're throwing around for players like Ruben Neves.

Given all the circumstances, I think we would be wise to cut our ties with him for 50m and to reinvest that money into someone else.

Don't get it twisted, as a player, I really like what he does on the pitch but there are the lingering issues outside of soccer tand it's just a distraction we don't need.

I'm interested to see what Arteta had planned. Who is Rice replacing, Xhaka or Partey? Will Kai fill in as an 8 against parked busses? For once I'm eagerly excited for the new season to start and I'm honestly getting impatient.

Same. Can’t wait to see how it all pans out. Feels like the club is in good hands finally.

Since when do Saudi's need installments? They got plenty of cash to splash right?
