Nicely written.

When they call it the world’s game they mean American financial institutions buy English clubs which acquire European clubs to hoard players from Africa and South America so the English club can secure a place in a Gulf State-run Super League that will inevitably play in America

The team becomes less likable each day.

Selling abroad means rethinking your price tags. The Premier League operates in its own financial bubble. Continental clubs simply aren't matching those valuations.

#Arsenal needs to attract more PL buyers and players wanting to stay in the PL.

Another nugget from Swiss Ramble: turns out #Arsenal have matched Liverpool for player sales profit over the last few years and we are not far off Spurs either. Meanwhile, Chelsea and City are playing Financial Fairytale FC in a league of their own.

Don’t fret, this close to an Arsenal shirt, he’ll tear his hammy against Fredrikstad Thursday.

That was a wonderful listen. Thank you. What was the paper on the impact of chemistry in basketball that you mentioned?

For me, it’s less about the skill of the player, or the team Arsenal is buying from, and more about the character of the human. I’m still waiting for someone to write about what a wonderful teammate he is. Or maybe he texts his grandmother before every game. Something.

Yep.

Was thinking this as well. From a squad building perspective, I fear that instead of raising the ceiling, the plan is to raise the floor by signing Gyokeres and Madueke as trustable rotation options for Havertz and Saka. The ceiling is already pretty high, but….

In UEFA’s 7th ranked league.
Opta has the Primeira Liga 8th.

Can’t wait for him to fight with Gyokeres and Saka over taking a penalty.

Nothing quite like the richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the world going full-blown middle school on each other to make you feel good about the state of national and global affairs.

FIFA’s Club World Cup was always going to create more unequal football under guise of making it more equal. For one month’s work an English team could earn equivalent of near full season’s worth of TV income. Teams from elsewhere 100% or more of domestic income. Could erode domestic balance further

After the last few years, has Arsenal regressed to the point that they are too small a club for Trinity Rodman?

If not, how realistic is my dream of her and Emily Fox dominating the right side of the pitch for club and country?

Are fans overlooking the impact of UEFA’s FSR club cost control dropping next year to 70% of revenue. And what impact will this have on keeping players(Saka, Saliba,Gabriel) along with signing the big names we want.
