When he gets caught with a girl in his room during a foreign training camp the headlines write themselves

Alex Crook due on Talksport after the break if you're keen to hear what definitely won't happen

Latter Day Saints - So a bunch of Johnny Come Latelys then! Where were they when we were League 1?! Polygamists too so we'll probably find they support Pompy or the bucket rattlers too as it makes the travel easier!

Do you not think it will be obvious to all at the club the difference in standard when Ramsdale & Bazunu are training together April/May/June next year? Would we not loan out Ramsdale for our year in the Championship, and then get him back once we return: RM spoke today about how our signings have been long term - clearly with one eye on having a solid team in the Championship if the worst happens.

Selected Arsenal fans thoughts:

GiveMeSport claiming we wanted JWP. Presumably the change of plan on goalkeeper (Ramsdale not Nijlow, Purchase not Loan) meant there wasn't enough money for two high earners?

Are we worried Palace would try to sign Bednarek?

Maybe Arsenal wouldn't sell to a rival?

Bearing in mind our position in the PL hierarchy who is likely to have more touches this season - our Goalkeeper or our Striker? If he can find his 22-23 season form this will be massive for us plus: We won't need to worry about his wandering attention span because a) We'll probably still be playing risky 6 yard box passes to him every 3 minutes b) Bearing in mind the standard of the league he's likely to be busier than a one legged man at an arse kicking competition as it is COYH

Knives out for Sam Vs Shea in the Steel City Derby 🗡️😇🔪

Posted at 12:38. Bearing in mind it probably took them half an hour to get the lighting for the Hagrid pic right I'd say we would have signed on before 12:00 😁 👍

😁

So it's bring your own signing on costume today is it? Watch this space...

Maybe you are confusing FarehamSaintJames with Sir Farquhar StJohn?!

Love this 😁

But assuming we stay up. We'd need to have persuaded him to sign a 4 or 5 year contract, because he would need at least two years away on loan before he'd be good enough for the PL surely. Bearing in mind our lack of success with junior contracts recently that seemed unlikely- was always likely to be tempted away by a big money Jimmy Jay Morgan style deal by a PL big fish.

Spine of the team: Aaron Ramsdale Flynn Downes Mateus Fernandes Ivan Toney Looks good to me 😁

More likely to be a genuine deal I would think. Unless we are signing Toney 😉

Think so

But wouldn't it be great if he came back, and could repeat the form he showed in those games for Sunderland in the Championship. A classic "like a new signing"

When the Chinese league finally fulfils its potential 😉 Saudi Arabia is surely the next big thing after the Chinese

Bednarek only has 10 months on his contract. Despite RM assuring us he’s not worried there is the chance that Benarek is off in Jan (or today?!) Having ABK up your sleeve give Saints better room to negotiate Jan’s contract and survive if he departs.
