Hmm. Even HOA is getting a bit annoyed with the way we've been trying to do transfers and he works for the club:

Works for Arsenal?
I doubt it - though as an "ITK" I am sure he's cultivated that impression.
The post reveals him to be a total idiot and clueless about football.
He is suggesting we sign players because we need cover for the first part of the season with players coming back from the World Cup. Utterly dumb.
What happens when Rice, Saliba, Saka, Gabriel etc come back? He's asking for huge transfers and massive wages for stop gap players to cover a month at the start of the season? Idiot.
We already have a squad... transfers should be based on improving what we have, of possible. That is not easy in itself. It should never be based on stop gap solutions in WC years.

Of course he works (or worked) at the club. He was in the celebrations at the training ground when we won the league. Rumours that this is a different person now though and he’s passed his login details on to someone else. Original hoa always insinuated he was not going to be at Arsenal beyond this season and his posting style in that whingey tweet above is very different to previous postings.
 
Arsenal and Besiktas have agreed a fee for Leandro Trossard. Deal to be finalised after Belgium's World Cup is over.

It's the right decision but he will be missed and I'll always be grateful for his contributions since joining. I remember the meltdown after we lost out on Mudryk to Chelsea and signed Trossard as the alternative - look at how different the fortunes have been for both players. And for £25m? What a bargain. I'm glad he leaves as a Premier League champion, anything else would have been an injustice.

€20m for a soon-to-be 32-year old with 1 year left on his contract is not bad business IMO.

Thanks for the memories, Leo!

If that turns out to be true then we need a very very good replacement.
Trossard delivered big contributions towards the title.
He and Martinelli were the most productive left side in the country in terms of goals and assists across competitions.

Dont care if he is 32... he is still doing it and proven, unlike many of the names being bandied around.
We could end up with a disaster like that Portuguese pubber Leao or the hapless Diamande who looks like Gervinho MkII

Near enough guarantees we’ll be getting Rodgers, Barcola or both. No way this transfer is greenlit without the replacement near enough a done deal

That’s a downgrade on what we have.
Hopefully we get neither.
Barcola is a hit and miss player, mostly miss, and really crap out of possession.
Rodgers is a decent player, but not good enough for a really top team.

Barcola, no thanks, a speed merchant with the finishing of Gervinho - a modern day Gervinho in fact.
