Norgaard to Arsenal is surprising.
Another midfielder who will end up playing at LB

Apparently they are also signing Arrizabalaga too. LegoMan going for ‘depth’ in his squad if he can’t get quality 
I know we have been unusually busy and failure to keep up with us isnt necessarily a signal that other clubs are struggling to get their work done, but given the deal for Zubi was reported as having been wrapped up in April it is sending big red flags that there is still no developments there.

I thought i saw a headline saying he was in london this week to finalise it. Funny if he doesnt. We only had to go through the drama for a day or two
I still have not figured out if those admiring quotes about Madrid and Alonso were real, but he makes so much sense for them, especially with the sort of football you’d think Alonso would want them to play, that I’m definitely at least half expecting it to blow up for Arsenal.

I heard he went up to the top of the Shard to see if he liked the mountain views of London.
If Real Madrid are in for him, I wonder if they will keep all their existing main midfielders? Might be one to watch.

It’s done, they’re just waiting for accounting purposes. But I don’t care much about Zubimendi. Don’t think he’s an upgrade over Partey. And their XI isn’t better either. I’m much more worried if they get Rodrygo.

Guess a 60 million Euros + 10 million Euros Add-on + 1 Euro bid to trigger the release clause is coming from Arsenal !! Lol.

Shaping up to be a weird summer for them again. Jorginho and Partey out, Zubimendi and Norgaard in isn’t much of an upgrade for a decent wedge spent.
Striker situation looks to be one that will drag until they finally crack and give either Sporting or Leipzig what they’ve been asking for. Young centre they’re looking at seems pretty raw.
Will Lewis-Skelly play left back full time next season? Big ask of an 18 year old to build on last season and the expectations that come with that. Not sure they’ve got a trusted option at RFW either. Plus some deadwood to clear and need to sort their injury issues, not to mention the psychological hurdles of never quite getting over the line.
Keeper is also still not someone I rate.

Beeb gossip headline says Arsenal enter race for Ekitike.
I’m hoping we sign him, but we need to work on some outgoings first.
