Oh. For some reason I thought he came in before the semi final.
Havertz was Arsenal’s top scorer in the league with 9. That’s the first time Arsenal hasn’t had a double digit scorer since 1923-24.

Golden boy Saka 6 goals in 25 league games and he got 3 in 1 game.

But you see, without his injuries, they’d have won the league, so they’re champions, really.

It’s odd how all four will probably be remembered at their clubs unlike Man City which is just an extra number.

If it’s on the BBC, the move must be close to completion.
Hope he enjoys the race for second place next season. And the year after. And the year after…

Yup, all 4 trophies are major achievements for their respective clubs. Even though Newcastle are one of them, it’s refreshing to see City not stealing anyone else’s glory for a change. Well, apart from Man United’s Community Shield..

It’s a massive move for them, which means a genuine reinforcement of their midfield. Also an impressive statement of intent from their part.

They are buying someone they don’t explicitly need.

Is it? The way he keeps getting talked about last summer, I thought he was some hot 23-24 year old prospect. He’s 26 now.
I might be wrong, but I’m getting vibes of ten Hag basically bringing half the Ajax team over, with what Arsenal are doing with Sociedad.

Seriously lads? May I remind you that he was our top target last summer, and it only fell through because he decided to stay put for a further year? This is a really strong move, and will reinforce their strength in depth in midfield, it’s a certainty.
They have enough numbers there without needing to add another person.
It’s a good transfer for them. But not a needle mover.
When I look at their list of first-team midfielders, my feeling is that this move is exactly what they need:
Jorginho is 33 and can’t be very far away from ending his career at top level. Then you have Partey for the DM places, and that’s it. So, Zubi is clearly Jorginho’s long-term replacement.
As I said, an excellent move for them.

You can look it up, I said similar last summer too…
I am probably going to be wrong, but at least I’m consistent!

Lewis Skelly is a DM , Rice is a DM , Partey is a DM.
The way I see it , with their fullbacks inverting more often than not. They really don’t need more bodies in the midfield.
Between your opinion last summer, and Edwards’ and Hughes’, I know which one I chose.

He’s sure to get a nice warm welcome at Anfield.
