Having checked out Trossard twitter and a few Arsenal forums, just to see what they thought of his cameo, the one consistent thing I read was how they think he absolutely should be starting ahead of Martinelli right now. Clearly their perspective is based on a very short, but bright, cameo, but...

Exactly. The Albion would have had a fair idea how many other serious suitors there were. The Spurs informal offer for £12m is a long way short of what Arsenal have paid. Having missed out on Mudryk, Arteta was clearly determined to add an option sooner rather than later, and they may well...

Nowt. I'm going for a walk.

The singing is probably already done - it's the photos and quotes etc. He could have sung this morning but the world is not told until this evening. But, yes, a 12pm announcement is the most likely, hence the dog sitting there waiting for me to move currently...

No email in my inbox yet, but they only tend to arrive a few minutes ahead of the public announcement these days. If I don't have anything at 11:58, I'm taking the dog out. I'm interested to see what quote is attributed to De Zerbi!

I received an embargoed press release a little while ago. It was this however: We are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Lydia Williams on a contract until summer 2024, subject to international clearance. The 34-year-old has joined us from Paris Saint-Germain, having also...

...or have a simple one-page site where the user is asked to enter a name and the site will return whether Chelsea are going to buy the player or not. The site always returns something like: probably, almost certainly, he's on the list, of course, only if Arsenal are trying to, you can never...

That domain is still available if anyone wants to have some fun at Chelsea's expense...

There's one of those exact cars that parks every morning near the local primary school. On double yellow lines. With the (diesel) engine continuously running pumping out stinky emissions. Classily, it has the sticker "Four doors for more whores" across the back windscreen. I always wonder if...

On Saturday we were told why he was absent: "I want more from him - he can work harder, he can run more on the pitch, and I want players who give 100% in every training session and every game. Without these characteristics, then they can’t play with me." This is the first I'd heard of any...

Was there any suggestion he did? Today's press conference just reiterates what RDZ said last week, which I posted on this thread on the day itself. In short, he wasn't working hard enough so wasn't playing.

Effectively only 18 months left on his contract, 28 years old and wants to leave - those three factors will all push down the fee we get for him.

De Zerbi on the absence of Trossard. 'I want more from him - he can work harder, he can run more on the pitch, and I want players who give 100% in every training session and every game. Without these characteristics, then they can’t play with me.'
