Not gonna lie. I'm gonna miss Rambo. Dude was a perfectly good GK, but just didn't quite lineup with our style.
Agreed. I didn't understand why we brough Raya in but I think I do now. Good luck to him, until he plays us.wangus12 said:

Ramsdale was easy to root for

Rambo is an amazing personality and good shot stopper that is prone to silly mistakes. Raya was who Arteta/Cana wanted when they first took over but he wasnt attainable so they took a flier on Rambo. Had he made fewer mistakes and/or been better with distribution they never would have gone back for Raya.
Never forget THAT save against Leicester. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/QMiJsOML97

His riling up of opposing fans was awesome.

24/25 UCL pots
🚨🏆 Champions League POTS ahead of draw on Thursday afternoon! pic.twitter.com/tUBnth4m0x

Pot 1 is a tough draw. I'd probably hope for Dortmund or Leipzig for the shortest trip
Pot 3 should all be pretty easy. I would prefer Lille or Celtic mostly for the shorter trips but PSV & Feyenoord could be good for that as well.
Pot 4 should also be easy. Girona, Stuttgart or Stade Brestois would be best for travel.
So I think my ideal draw would be.....
Dortmund or Leipzig
Celtic
Stade Brestois

Crazy how far off we still are from Pot 1
No groups anymore remember. We get drawn against 8 teams (4 home, 4 away), 2 from each pot.
Also we got drawn with League 1 side Bolton Wanderers for the Carabao Cup. Can't believe its been 12 years since we've played them
stick with my preferred options above but add pot 2.....
Pot 1 - Dortmund & Leipzig
Pot 2 - Brugge & Benfica
Pot 3 - Celtic & Lille (or PSV or Feynoord)
Pot 4 - Stade Brestois & Girona (or Stuttgart)
That would give us a pretty easy overall draw while also limiting travel.

Re Darwin Nunez - Liverpool have set an asking price of at least 110m (92.6m) for Nunez in the wake of Arsenal's interest.
93MM sterling seems like a very high price for this guy. I know we need a striker but damn this is a big commitment.

Definitely wouldn't pay that
There is zero chance we are going for Nunez.
Rumors about Kingsley Coman being a target
Also we are about to get fleeced for our back GK

Lots of smoke around Sterling but I doubt it happens. We'd take him on a free and that's about it, apparently.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
I don't know if the source is reliable but what I saw on Sterling.....
If we can get for free & on reduced wages and he would be willing to be a backup, he would be a better than getting no one.
Quote:
Arsenal have been offered Raheem Sterling, he is willing to accept a pay cut and Arsenal have made him an offer. Arsenal currently do not want to pay a fee , the same as other clubs interested. It is not clear if Chelsea will be willing to terminate his contract
If we can get for free & on reduced wages and he would be willing to be a backup, he would be a better than getting no one.
Yeah I'll take him for free and on massively reduced wages
I will take this draw!!!
CL games:
Home: PSG, Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb, Monaco
Away: Inter, Atalanta, Sporting, Girona
Home: PSG, Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb, Monaco
Away: Inter, Atalanta, Sporting, Girona
Definitely a reasonable draw. I hate the lack of Home and away.Ag Since 83 said:

About as good as we could have asked for I think?
Just didn't want Sporting. Hate playing Portuguese teams

So how does the format work? Just one large table and then:
Top 8 places are automatically through to knockout
9-24 do a head to head (home and away or not?)
25-36 are out

Sterling on a free and reduced wages wouldn't be bad. I guess also depends on how long of a contract he wants. It's better than having to rely on Nelson, right?

Yes home and away
The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the round of 16, while the teams finishing in 9th to 24th place will compete in a two-legged knock-out phase play-off to secure their path to the last 16 of the competition. Teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated, with no access to the UEFA Europa League.

I like the new format
Adds a bit more fixture congestion is the only downside I see, especially if you're in the 9-24 groupPJYoung said:

He wasn't even that bad at "our style." Definitely will miss him, easy to root for and good at his job, but glad we have Raya. Raya's improved since he got here and I think still improving.
I am still not sure how we sell Eddie with no replacement. Kai and Jesus just cant be the only options. Especially with Jesus's injury history and Kai having a tendency to pick up stupid cards.
Looks like we are pulling out of Joan Garcia. Signing Neto on loan from Bournemouth to be the #2. Hoping this means we are gonna use the immediate funds to find some attacking help
🚨 Arsenal reach agreement with AFC Bournemouth to sign goalkeeper Neto. Deal for 35yo Brazilian season-long loan - no buy option or obligation. Medical on #DeadlineDay as #AFC line up No2 to Raya after Ramsdale exit + struggle to get Garcia @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/rew5BzIeRn
