Not loving Calafiori's defending. Giving me Zinchenko vibes.

Glad to get 3 points with a rotated side. Arteta needs to sit Jesus down with film from his last several appearances show how poor his decision making has been. He's pressing so hard to make something happen that he is skipping the simple things. Make the easy decision and it'll come naturally. He's carrying it too long and trying to do it all himself

Fun fact. Southampton's manager Russell Martin played against Arsenal for Norwich when Jack Wilshere scored that insane goal

I'm hoping this is just an "avoid meaningless friendlies" injury.

Rewatching Southhampton match.
Their young guy Dibling (no shin guards) can run. Looks to be a good young player.
They got a couple of close plays late in the match. Near one off a corner, then a ball crossing front of goal off a Dibling run.
I don't think Partey was bad at right back. It's not his natural position and I think he played decently. It's easy to pick out Thomas just by the way he runs.
Rice is playing, but he is not at his best. Feel like he is working hard right now with mixed results.
Final goal by Saka resembles the match. Trossard goes on a run, several defenders around him and the ball bounces out to Saka for the shot.
Havertz goal was a beauty. I find myself watching Havertz every run - he doesn't seem to be fast but he knows where to be and gets there.

I sent a text to my brother saying I hope we sign Dibling as soon as Southampton are relegated. What a player that kid is.

He is absolutely one to watch and I am sure Mikel took notice. His defensive work rate as a winger was fantastic.

I watched his run with Martinelli a few times. The possession late in the match, where Martinelli is going full speed ahead of him. Dibling ran him down and deftly took the ball away.

I kept thinking - if they get relegated gotta see about getting this kid.

Bayern absolutely destroying the ladies in the Champions League, its now 5-2, just a few days after an incredibly awful 0-0 draw with a mediocre Everton.

I have to wonder if this is finally the beginning of the end for head coach Jonas Eidevall

It needs to be. He just doesn't have it and has been massively underachieving

I have been watching some Champions League matches involving clubs outside the EPL. Last night I watched a replay of Real Madrid vs Napoli. This prompted me to do some research about La Liga, as there are now rumors about Madrid going after Saliba for 2025.

Can someone please explain to me how Madrid has a "salary cap" of ~750 million euros? When I look at this it is pure insanity. I believe there are financial sustainability rules with La Liga but how can you have a club that is 500 million over the rest of the clubs? I realize I am a novice but this makes little sense.

I did find this information but still unclear how Madrid's budget is 754 million euros.

"La Liga has officially announced the salary limits for the 2024-25 season, with Real Madrid once again sitting atop the rankings with the highest spending capacity. This news comes as part of the annual salary limit update, which dictates how much each club can allocate towards players, coaching staff, and various team operations across both Spain's first and second divisions.

Real Madrid, backed by their robust financial foundation, have set a new standard with a staggering salary cap of 754 million for the upcoming season. This marks an increase from last year's limit of 727 million, further solidifying Los Blancos' position as the club with the most room to maneuver in the transfer market and player wages. Their healthy financial outlook has consistently allowed them to maintain a competitive edge, both on and off the pitch, compared to their rivals."

Saliba is going to eventually go. He's probably the one player that I see leaving sooner rather than later. I think he has 2 years left on his deal. Arsenal need to be in contract negotiations right now and make him incredibly highly paid. Get another 4 year deal and then prepare to sell him. I just don't think he finishes his career here.

That said, you cannot let him leave on a free. He's the best CB in the world. You get Madrid to cash out big time if they want him 130m+ needs to be the minimum

If we can prevent Saliba from moving to Madrid for the nex year and a half or two years, some of that pressure might ease and Madrid might want to look elsewhere before then. They are just getting so old and constantly injured on the back line.

They need replacements in now.

Looks like Odegaard is running but so far limited to a Zero G treadmill which means not full body weight. I suspect at least 2 to 3 more weeks at a minimum.

Why call up players for meaningless friendlies? The load on top players is insane.
