          Something that I might petition CannonStats to do is to look at how many injuries we have vs the number of minutes in those players’ legs.

    “I can understand the allure of Man Utd in the mind of an up-and-coming young prospect” said no one fucking ever

      Honestly to me it speaks to a lack of confidence in yourself to reach the very top. I will never criticize a young player for wanting to (effectively) cash out on their career by going somewhere like United or Chelsea, because you can earn a good 5M over the course of a 2-3 year contract, but it means you’ll probably never play top level football. Neither of those teams are chomping at the bit to play academy players, they’d rather buy starting players - it’s in their DNA.

    Ornstein: Arsenal likely to sign a player in the transfer window, and have put in an offer for someone.

    Me: yes!

    Also Ornstein: and that player is a 16 year-old goalkeeper.

    Me: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

    From what I’ve gathered, here are the main transfer rumours for us going in for players this window:

    • Benjamin Sesko (striker) - very unlikely
    • Alexander Isak (striker) - very unlikely
    • Evan Ferguson (striker) - unlikely
    • Jhon Duran (striker) - unlikely
    • Viktor Gyokeres (striker) - unlikely
    • Matheus Cunha (striker/winger) - possible
    • Sverre Nypan (CAM) - possible
    • Deniz Dönmezer (goalkeeper) - possible

    But I’m sure I’m missing some.

    If there’s an interest I can put this in it’s own post. But I probably don’t have the time right now to keep it especially up to date.
