David Silva retires. Fuck ACL injuries.

Goodbye, all respect for Jordan Henderson. Hope Southgate doesn't even pick him next time tbh

Looking at football.london's transcript of the post-match interview cuz arsenal.com doesn't have it yet; Arteta said that "we have 30 players here which is unsustainable." Who would you guys want sold? Transfermarkt lists 33, not 30, so I assume he's rounding off lol.

For me (in no particular order): Cedric, Runarsson, Pepe, Trusty, Elneny (probably not sold but turned into a coach ideally but I'm sure he's not ready to retire), one of Balogun/Nketiah, plus loans for Marquinhos, Tavares, and Sambi.

@Astrealix @little_niggle I definitely see Elneny becoming a Colney fixture, he only signed a 1 yr deal on reduced wages so I don't think selling him is a priority. I'd rather see Flo go, probably get more for him than Eddie
- I don't know that we need the money is the thing. If Palace actually wants Eddie and if he gets to start regularly I'd have no gripes with it, if Balogun wants to stay to fight Jesus for the spot even better.
@Astrealix @gunners We have Gabi, Zinchenko, Kiwior, Tierney (left); Saliba, Timber, White, Tomiyasu (right) – Cedric, Holding, Trusty, Tavares should be sold.
Links to Lavia, Kudus means Sambi’s time is up.
Pepe will be terminated as it seems. Marquinhos – loan (hopefully in France).
Balogun is the only different striker we got (living off the shoulder of defenders for runs behind, the others are poachers). I would sell Nketiah, but seems Mikel hasn’t yet makeup his mind.

Still yet to fully sink in that we've signed Declan Rice

I expect at one point I'm just gonna collapse

Anyone watching tonight?

Niggle is, and ironeagle as usual; poorly seems to be debating it based on his Twitter haha
- It's on ESPN+ but I just got out of work... I'm not sure if I wanna get worked up right before sleeping 😂

Lineup's late today, weird.

Imagine having the career trajectory of Trossard. Spent his youth going on loan from Genk to even smaller clubs across Europe before ending up in Southern England, and then under a manager who hates him. At the age of 28, he'll make his Champions League debut for the biggest club in London. Truly a late bloomer.
