www.theguardian.com Sébastien Squillaci unrepentant after forcing transfer to Arsenal

Sébastien Squillaci said it would have been 'practically impossible' for him to turn down a bid from Arsène Wenger

Throwback relevant to our CL group stage draw. I remember thinking this could be a smart signing back when it was announced.

😢Mana just announced her retirement
- Probably no one was willing to sign her ig. Disappointing end for her though.
  
  She is coaching, so hopefully we'll see Coach Mana soon
Just landed in NYC :D
- Welcome back! Don't get freaked out by the lanternflies!!! 🤣🤣🤣
- Wooooo
Iwobi to Fulham, it's been over for Everton for a while now.
Time to head onto the plane — see you guys after we sign Lionel Messi /j
- Looks like you got out in the nick of time.
  
  Yeah, if I flew a day later I wouldn't have flown all weekend with how the typhoon hit. Folks at home are saying it's as bad as Mangkhut was
Forever hate Yanited more than any other team, bastards paying that POS to play at Getafe, which is a pile of shit.
- Can't believe this shit. Man should be in jail.
  
  Considering there were clubs still trying to sign Goodwillie, for a lot of people still in the sport all that matters is that they can kick ball good. That needs to change. (Tbh our club can also do a bit of self-reflection as well)
Not kidding, Luton fans at home are louder than a packed Etihad.
Rob finally gone...will always remember his first goal after the new hairline 🤣
This will also serve as a transfer deadline day megathread cuz I can't exactly update on transfers from a plane xd Also hello from Dubai!
- Are you flying Emirates? :P
  
  Yes, actually XD
  
  It's the best balance between price, timing, and length. I get 4 hours in Dubai and then go on for about a day in total, but cuz I start at midnight HKT and timezones, I land around 2pm which is quite perfect.
Still can't believe Declan Rice is an Arsenal player, we have been blessed these few years under Arteta
Rekik's at Wigan again. At least they like him I suppose lol
There is a guy opposite me at the gate rn wearing an Arsenal home kit from last year lol

It's such a nice kit
Nuts and bolts, Luton Town got screwed

Here's a fun fact: Nick Pope has more xG this season than Mount and AMA. Apparently he got a header in a corner and Mount/AMA haven't had a shot I'm guessing
5 hours to go. If an Ornybomb is coming its being carried by a stealth bomber.
Question: would you guys want me to keep the posts at around this time or switch it to EST? I can do both probably, ignoring jet lag lol
Worth noting that the WSL doesn't close until the 14th, so we're not gonna see a conclusion to the Earps stuff today.

Also some outgoings could still happen after DLD, as usual
Yo this commentator on beIn be calling Auba "Aboomeyang" 🤣🤣🤣
Waiting for Orny to drop a bomb

IMO a LB would be best, Tomi is alright at LB but not great when he needs to invert

Though I trust the gaffer lol
- Will we get an Ornbomb this time? I feel like incomings are all done.
  
  I don't know, but I certainly won't be here to experience it given I get off the ground probably before negotiators are gonna be awake
Pleased to report that the Arsenal kit is for sale and on display at Dubai Airport XD

And the away kit but not the third kit
Unpin this puulleees
