Agreed. That’s the bit that is missing now, Partey is the best we have at that (of the traditional CM options), but Arteta deliberately moved away from the metronome passing quality option to hustle & duels (Rice & Merino) with increased reliance on Ode et al for the creativity

People complained at the time that opposition players could ghost past Xhaka and that he needed to be more switched on defensively…..
This doesn’t work for me at all. I’ve ensured the app is updated but the option just never displays for me. I’m on an iphone15 max using ios18.2
Shots fired!
Doing the job I’d say… while still adjusting to the league
Beautiful
Today, Arsenal were turgid.
100%. Don’t understand the apprehension for another 1yr rental - just get the best players!
Jesus is washed. Feel for him.
I would expect to see at least 1 if not 2 deals done today. Need to go inject some authority onto the market.
Think the writing has been on the wall for this so I’m actually ok with it…. Think we focus on signings to fill all the holes for next 3 years till Stanton’s contract is up and then we go again. Walker, Santander, Bregman, maybe a Bellinger trade
I’ve bought into this, though I think they go big at 3b instead of short and move Jazz to 2b.
Talkin Yanks all day and then rest is football
Cashman is going to Cashman, so I expect so proper big name head-scratchers like Goldschmidt or Arenado - which would be a poor use of our money IMO.
Beyond Soto, my order of preference is 1B, 2B, SP to replace Stroman/Cortes and a set-up RP if we don’t bring back Kahnle. If we don’t get Soto - all bets are off!
Actually think we need to make our infield moves first before he commits to us. He needs to see what he’s playing with and if Cashman backs up his talk. Get Christian Walker at the 1B and sure-up 3B in some form I’ll be more confident
Still having nightmares about that 5th inning….
Same as Limpar
Yes 🫡
Best mate used to go with his Dad every home game, and asked if I would like to go one week (as I had nobody to take me to football). First game, The Arsenal 4-1 Ipswich, Sep ‘93. Kevin Campbell hat trick. I was 8. Glorious.
