Seems Schurrle might leave and Salah might stay now... Wolfsburg want a loan with a guarantee of a permanent deal in the summer which seems strange but if it gets us the money for Cuadrado then I don't really care.

I wonder why it was so easy to get Gabriel a work permit

 

[3Sixty]

I wonder why it was so easy to get Gabriel a work permit unlike other players.

I'm happy, obviously, but it just makes me wonder about the rules.

Maybe he has a Sylvinho passport.

 

[Meier]

Doesn't sound like Laporte is moving to the PL any time soon.

Do you have any desire to play in England one day?
Not really, not at the moment, anyway. I’m feeling very good at Athletic and want to keep developing as best I can here, because I can feel myself improving every day.

Who's the other players? If it's youngsters it makes sense, with the highest calibre shit. A letter of recommendation front Clint Dempsey is enough.

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Gabriel Paulista joining other high calibre but no international cap luminaries such as Mame Biram Diouf, Ryo Miyachi, Arouna Kone and Angelo Henriquez.

 

[Peco]

El Shaarawy injured again, out for at least six weeks, probably two months.

Truly the new Pato.

Run, Mastour, run while you still can.

Honda will save us once again.

Cuadrado better be fucking worth it. Can't believe we let Griezmann slip away and will likely miss out on Reus too.

Wow I cant believe Wilbur is permabanned.

By that I mean, how do you class "exceptional talent"? Like, obviously we can see the various factors that led to those players getting a work permit but it seems so subjective.

Weve been enquiring about Laporte according to Marca. Makes sense, considering we need to buy players ASAP because were about to get a transfer ban lololololololol

 

[Bold One]

still have big hopes for Lingaard, shame he hacked down by those pretenders Swansea on opening day

 

[Esch]

Nah he'll be back soon

Do they have a letter of recommendation from Clint Dempsey or not.

Please #leave

It wasn't the right time to sell Schurrle in the summer, I think a lot of people expected him to kick on, I certainly hoped he would anyway. Isn't Griezmann more of a central or left sided player? Ive not seen him much admittedly.

I don't think we will get Reus anyway, like Pogba he will end up at Real Madrid imo.

I've seen some sports lawyers say the FA has shot itself in the foot with this system because you could have a Championship team sign Slovenia's international full back while Arsenal could struggle to sign someone clearly better like Paulista.

The default work permit rules would be much better - looking more at their prospective wages on joining as a gauge of quality.

 

[3Sixty]

Forgot Tadanari Lee got an exceptional talent visa :lol

Brazil are stacked at CB.

pls.

Don't be another Santos.

 

[LTWheels]

Rossiter and Ward must be on the bench for the Chelsea game. Not in the squad for the u21s tonight.

 

[Steverulez]

Im hoping this Dutch guy going for Fifa President will be another nail in the coffin of Blatter. Perhaps he will just be another cunt but he can't be as stupid as fucking Blatter, surely?

 

[Salvadora]

Santos played for Brazil doe

Our U21s understand 3-5-2 better than our senior side ;_;

 

[Broder Salsa]

Did Arsenal doctors already kill Paulista?

He looks pretty dead

That pic is from his transfer to Villarreal.

Arsenal don't release medical photos.

That's a shame. Liverpools are always enjoyable.

 

[Salvadora]

Paulista looks like a Liverpool player.

He gives a Skrtel/Agger vibe from the pictures.

Aye, looks like he'd wear a tracksuit indoors and not be ashamed.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Even Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic saying it was a goal yesterday for Palermo and calling for goal line tech. Serie a please.

 

[FootballFan]

How's Valdes

Aye, looks like he'd wear a tracksuit indoors and not be ashamed.

It even says Rey Don Jaime behind him.

Wooden has the observational powers of Groot. Incredible.

I am going to bet we don't see him much this season. Unless Per or Kos pickup an injury I can't see Wenger rotating CB's much at this point. We are in a good position in all three competitions and I can't see Wenger wanting to disrupt the backline too much.

Maybe after a full preseason he can start rotating with Per a bit.

 

[Willkiller]

Goodness, the new Prodigy song is incredible

To be fair, Rey Don Jaime sounds like the fake name, whatever doctor Arsenal got on the book, would use.

 

[dc89]

Valdes and Anderson start for United U21

He isn't, he's a decent FA president in my book.

Then again, neither he nor Blatter stand a chance against Raiola ofc.

Ray, Don and Jamie are all classic London names.

The draw for the FA Cup is imminent. Waiting for Reading - Bradford.

We have good CB's though.

I'd like a United/Liverpool draw.

Get them out of the road good and early. If they pass their respective opponents, that is.

Dropping him in at the deep end, a la Chambers, isn't really something I'm keen on seeing. Especially with him not being long out of Brazil and no pre-season with us.

Think it will probably end up happening though with Koscielny inevitable going to have a flare up of the recurring injury/condition.

 

[CecilRousso]

FA Cup draw soon. Bring Gaal to Selhurst Park. We're not afraid!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Ojo m8 look at your fucking hair.

Pls a good draw pls

True. At this point every game we play is important so there isn't really way to ease him in.

Pretty much need our best 11 for all three competitions.
