Can't see all comments in Lemmy.world

Just noticed because I went directly to a community on lemmy.world/c/... instead of sh.itjust.works/lemmy.world/c...

Quite many comments that were over an hour old were missing. I guess there's a problem with the federation. Is anybody else experiencing something similar?

[David Ornstein] 🚨 Arsenal have now made a 2nd, improved offer to West Ham for Declan Rice. £75m + £15m add-ons.
  • I guess it must be the structure of payment and/or the achievability of the add ons

  • European rivals of Chelsea and Wolves call for inquiry into Saudi spending spree
  • Paywalled, could you "summarize the important bits"? Wink wink

  • Arsenal have indicated that in addition to operating as a No. 10 ten or No. 8, they see Havertz as capable of playing in any of three attacking positions

    www.espn.co.uk Sources: Havertz won't extend Chelsea deal

    Chelsea are under pressure to drop their asking price for Arsenal target Kai Havertz after being informed he has no intention of signing a new contract, sources have told ESPN.

    Chelsea are under pressure to drop their asking price for Arsenal target Kai Havertz after being informed he has no intention of signing a new contract, sources have told ESPN.

    Arsenal are interested in pursuing a move for the 24-year-old but have so far proved reluctant to meet their London rivals' £70 million valuation of Havertz.

    Sources have told ESPN that Havertz is open to joining Arsenal and the club do not view his existing wage at Chelsea -- thought to be around £220,000-a-week -- as prohibitive to a transfer.

    They have had one offer rejected so far but are expected to return with an improved bid.

    It remains to be seen whether Bayern Munich enter the running having previously expressed an interest in Havertz.

    Chelsea will hope Bayern table a bid to help drive the price up, but regardless Havertz is believed to have informed the club he has no desire to extend his contract, which expires in 2025.

    Sources have told ESPN that during conversations, Arsenal have indicated that in addition to operating as a No. 10 ten or No. 8, they see Havertz as capable of playing in any of three attacking positions in an interchangeable forward line at the top of a 4-3-3 system. Havertz's versatility is a big attraction for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who has played a personal role in negotiations.

    ...

    Sources have told ESPN there is surprise at Chelsea's asking price given they signed Havertz for £71m in September 2020, and he has endured a mixed spell at Stamford Bridge.

    Chelsea are also under a degree of pressure to raise funds before June 30 as they seek to mitigate losses resulting from spending around £600m on players only to miss out on qualifying for any European qualification next season.

  • Damn, Ruben Neves sold out and about to join a Saudi team. Depressing shit.

  • Would prefer bringing Lord Bendtner out of retirement

  • No but you're here though. That's what I meant

  • That makes a lot of sense, we need active mods more than experienced ones right now i would say

  • [Steinberg] Arsenal hope to seal £60m Kai Havertz deal but Bayern Munich also in race
  • True, i think that's a healthy perspective. Curious to see what he could do in a well coached team such as ours.

  • Arsenal hope to seal £60m Kai Havertz deal but Bayern Munich also in race

    www.theguardian.com Arsenal hope to seal £60m Kai Havertz deal but Bayern Munich also in race

    Chelsea want £70m for the forward, but they are under pressure to sell and, despite Bayern’s interest, Arsenal are the favourites to secure his signature

    Arsenal target Southampton’s Roméo Lavia for midfield rebuild with Rice
  • Liked what I've seen so far, definitely stood out in a poor Southampton side. Do you guys think he'd play 6 or 8 for us?

  • June 15 2023 - Daily Discussion Thread
  • Confirmed by team news and tix, also saying there's been a lot of nonsense in the press today. Hopefully he's right!

  • [Simon Stone] West Ham unimpressed by both the size and the structure of the offer. Arsenal will be back but West Ham anticipating Man City will come in for him. City exploring options currently.
  • Yeah hoping it's not Brighton in January all over. All the noise has been that they've been talking already and the bidding sounded more like a formality.

  • West Ham unimpressed by both the size and the structure of the offer. Arsenal will be back but West Ham anticipating Man City will come in for him. City exploring options currently.

    Uh oh.

  • Rice preferring us to City is huge if true, let's hope he makes it clear to WHU so they don't stall, trying to force a bidding war

  • David Ornstein: Arsenal have made proposal to sign Havertz. Pursuit ramped up in recent days; contact with CFC & 24yo. Bayern also keen.
  • I mean clearly he has a lot of talent and a unique profile with his height and technicality. Playing in that Chelsea attack must be a nightmare, and I doubt our attackers would look anywhere near their current level if they were in Havertz's shoes.

    I'm curious where he would play though. RW? Left 8? False 9? No natural fit, but maybe it's versatility they're after

  • Standard: Arsenal keen on Kai Havertz but Chelsea’s £75m asking price too high. Arsenal only side interested
  • Honestly doubt he even leaves. Chelsea have too much pride to sell at a price low enough to be acceptable to buyers. Seems to be the same with Mount. Mad asking prices for players with anything but impressive seasons behind them.

  • Thoughts on Lemmy sorting options?
  • I think you can set default sort and subbed/local/all in settings

  • Team News and Tix: Arsenal interest in Havertz is genuine but personal opinion don't think we'll get him
  • So do we consider this guy the new AFCBell? Got a few things right, right?

  • Agreed. The only way you can pull the UI argument is if you're using a 3P app today which these users clearly aren't. Argue about the lack of content or whatever, but complaining about the UI is so ironic haha.
