- Is Chelsea really being sold? SuperLeague II: the return of the billionaires
- Arsenal: knocking down walls or getting back to where we used to be
By Sir Hardly Anyone
It looked for a while like we might get through a window without being tipped to buy Zaha, but no, as with previous windows, he’s now on the list! And so with the season still running and the window not opening for over another two months, we now have 45 players tipped to join Arsenal and 20 leaving.
Last season you might recall we had over 130 incoming players with a record 3% being tipped accurately.
First, below, we have the list of players that Arsenal are said to be signing this summer, and then after that the 20 players said to be leaving.

Leaving Arsenal
HITC: Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are unlikely to block Kieran Tierney from leaving for Real Madrid if the price is right, according to The Sunday Post.
The report has claimed that Spanish and European giants Madrid are planning on making a bid of £50 million for the former Celtic left-back. Although that was before his latest injury.

All these are nonsense I have said it before and will say it again Mikel Arteta is not yet the real coach for Arsenal he has a good idea but can’t do it because of not yet at the level if Arsenal had bring in Patrick Viera in place of Arteta Arsenal would have been better placed by now but that is by the way tdid have been done if you look into Arteta track record this season among the big clubs he lost all that alone can testify Chelsea, Liverpool, Man city and Man Utd all beat him since we are still experimenting let’s wait and see how we are going to finish this year
Ukaz – I really don’t understand that argument. If we lose against Manchester City we get no points. If we lose against Burnley we get no points. What difference does it make who we lose to?
@Ukaz…watch the matches…you might change your mind.
come on Ukaz, cut him some slacks. he’s the youngest coach in the PL that still learning his trades. even real coaches takes time before their success came and how can you be so certain Arsenal will be at better place under Vieira, do you have crystal ball or something
We outplayed Man City in the home game and were well on course to win until the ref decided to intervene, with two contrasting penalty decisions and a sending off just to make sure of the outcome.
We also outplayed Liverpool for much of the home game also and were defeated by two fairly fortunate goals against the run of play.
At Man Utd it was a similar story, as we were undoubtedly the better team on the day. I can’t remember the details, but I am sure that they also owed the result to the contribution of their twelfth man.
