In addition to transfer news, we also have the news that William Saliba was injured playing for France and may miss the start of the new season. And virtually every outlet is stating that Christos Tzolis is on his way if he hasn’t actually arrived by the time you read this. But that event seems to have put everyone else off making up (sorry, “reporting”) other stories. In terms of sales, we have noted that Jesus is ready to go to Milan . The one snag in the unified stories is that from “Ex-Canary Tzolis in limbo after Arsenal move hits a snag.” But there is always one.

More transfers soon…
Plus we will be paying double the inflated value for each player, meaning we have a 2 Billion pound transfer budget. Looks like we are also gonna need ManC130’s old crooked accountants to make it all work with the blinded non-action Premier League. IMO.
Also forget extending the ground capacity as we may later need that space for players, more importantly we are gonna need a bigger dressing room and extend the dug out to reach the north bank or extend it downwards with a sub basement!
All jokes aside, not that interesting but on the subject of ground improvements, I just read some news today from the daily cannon regarding Emirates ground improvements during the season break reading:
Arsenal Fixtures News reports that Arsenal have begun their work to install rail seating in the Clock End of the Emirates Stadium, with the first phase of work to introduce safe standing for approximately 6,850 fans.
The same source reports that the North Bank is scheduled to be included as the next stage of the work next season, adding that the overall stadium capacity will not change.
They do add temporary rails anyway for special fixtures, but it looks like they will be adding them permanently in those areas where there are none.
The work won’t effect me where I sit, but others may be interested.
I am already bored. Can’t wait to see our boys fit and injury free for the start of the season including the prime suspects Saliba, Saka and Rice.
