Iwobi explains motives + THE JEFF and his legend lives on
Alex Iwobi has SPOKEN.
‘I always had that youngster tag at Arsenal, so hopefully with this move I am able to make a name for myself in the Premier League and create history with Everton.’
Football often imitates normal business.
You climb the ranks at an agency as a young whippersnapper, your title might jump, but your pay often doesn’t. People still set your stapler in jelly, wedgie you in the toilets, and remind you of the time you vomited in a plant pot outside a Covent Garden pub.
You have to leave to earn that BIG money and RESPECT you deserve.
I feel you Iwobi. Fuck the system and fuck Craig in IT… he has no right to do that to you in the bathroom.
The legend of Jeff continues… the enigma of a man we all loved for no other reason outside his superb name… has moved to Lyon for UP TO £28m deal.
Unreal business from Angers.
‘HE’S SHIT HE’LL NEVER AMOUNT TO NOTHING’ has a great ring to it, but I’ll be honest, I think Lyon has a pretty good record of unearthing value in the market, so one would suspect they know what they’re buying here.
I’ll have no complaints about this miss if we sell Mustafi to Monaco. Surely the German can’t love his deal so much he’d be willing to sit on the bench for a season? Have a bit of pride.
Burnley is the next HUGE game that is up. I am interested to see whether Emery continues with Callum Chambers who did a decent job against Newcastle. We had a bit of a wait last season before he moved onto the new boys. Petr Cech had to land an injury and it felt like a while until Torreira was acclimated to the first team.
My personal view is we should push for David Luiz in the first team ASAP. If we don’t, he’ll not be fit for the BIG games that we have coming up. Really wouldn’t fancy Callum rolling against Spurs and Liverpool.
Hopefully, Pepe and Ceballos can ramp up their fitness as well. We’ll need to put in better performances over the next few weeks if we’re to come out the other end with a mighty fist full of points.
Check out this tweetstorm on Arsenal’s summer. Epic and very complicated.
