Man Patino was one of those super hyped youngsters that really never physically developed to be at the top level.

yep. lots of solid skill but he kind of has the same issues as Sambi, just takes too long on the ball. long term I think he is far better off in Spain, Italy or Germany.
He's also just insanely slow. He makes Partey and Jorginho look like Olympic Track stars
🚨🌳 Eddie Nketiah has just agreed on personal terms with Nottingham Forest as talks are advancing to final stages with Arsenal.#NFFC confident to get it done soon.

Says Merino is done.... 32+5 (euro)
Acuerdo entre Arsenal y #RealSociedad por Mikel Merino 🤝🔴⚪️
— Beñat Barreto (@BeBarreto) August 22, 2024
Los ‘gunners’ pagan 32,5M€ + 5 en variables factibles. Merino se marcha tras 6 exitosas temporadas en San Sebastián. Contado en @diariovasco 👇🏼https://t.co/WGEWP1aJHE

“Nobody ever told me that the interest in Nico Williams was over, he's a player Arsenal absolutely love.
He has a release clause that can be activated at any time, I haven’t heard anything is “imminent,” but it was the same with Thomas Partey.” pic.twitter.com/SfeaO5sNlG
Yep, everyone's saying it is done with Merino. Good news

🚨 Arsenal strike agreement in principle with Real Sociedad to sign Mikel Merino. €33.5m + €5m add-ons. Personal terms done for 28yo to join #AFC from #Sociedad on 4yr contract + option of 5th in club favour. W/ @MarioCortegana @gunnerblog @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/sN0GBu90Nk

Somebody get Arteta in a room with Nico Williams right now
🔴⚪️🤝🏻 Similar to the Riccardo Calafiori story, Mikel Arteta has been crucial also for Merino’s move to Arsenal.
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 22, 2024
Positive talks with the player, Merino had at least two more proposals but he’s been clear: only #AFC.
He’s set to travel for medical, signing until 2028 + option. pic.twitter.com/QP0c1gZLYf
Sure is a lot of money for a guy who would have been free in 9 months. Hope the number crunchers know what they're doing.

Agree, just hope we haven't weakened ourselves financially as to prevent additional business this window or next summer

Do we really have any other targets this window? Nico Williams seems like a pipe dreamagdoc2001 said:

Nobody named but rumor mill is we still want a backup winger. Just hope Arteta doesn't turn his head towards Raheem Sterling since Chelsea want him gone.
Isak next summer

🚨 One issue influencing recruitment is Arsenal effectively operating off a different budget depending if a player is a named target or not. It isn’t quite a case of the club just being willing to pay a certain amount for a necessary position.

big game tomorrow....stoked
Williams would be interesting. Potential issue there is (a) while the transfer fee will be lower his salary demands would make him one of the highest paid on the squad and (b) he would demand starter minutes and even in a down year last year Marti scored more goals than Williams in his breakout season.
I wouldn't be upset by a Williams acquisition but I'm not convinced he would be the best acquisition.

I will say that I now feel like our team is deep enough to win something other than the FA Cup this year. It's still going to be really difficult but I'll be disappointed if we don't win something barring some bizarre, unpredictable reason.

🚨 EXCL: Porto agree deal to re-sign Fabio Vieira on loan from Arsenal. Not in #AFC squad for #AVFC as #FCPorto finalise move to bring midfielder back after 2022 sale. Merino arrival + Nwaneri rise reduces minutes & 24yo needs regular action @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/JG4XCr23p1
— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) August 23, 2024
Think this significantly increases the chances we bring in someone that can play RW. Vieira spent the entire preseason playing RW. Mikel was trying to figure out if he could be a viable Saka backup or if we needed to move him on.
I was wondering if this was gonna happen with the Merino signing. Hope Vieira goes and crushes it. Also says a lot about what we think of Nwaneri right now
I did NOT see that one coming

Jesus didn't travel due to groin injury. It's groundhog day again.

Oh man - I was really hoping for Jesus to have a big season. Early still but Gunners need him healthy.
Better hope we don't block the Eddie sale now
Of course City get that as a PK
