I can assure tou that the kits Puma have released predominantly are going down well with the fans. However that really don't say a lot as we have had some shockers over the years 😖
Even the away kit with the yellow, blue AND pink trim?? It's a total disaster.

Purple trim on a sky blue top?? :sick:

Rafa chases money to his next job.

Do you blame him ? He goes to a club that have someone who doesn’t mind spending after working miracles for 3 years for an owner who doesn’t spend a penny

Good to see Arsenals tactics arent changing. Palace have asked for 80m for Zaha, Arsenal have got out their 40m bid :)

Another window of being linked with 100s of players, bidding way below their market value and getting a couple of kids on a free

Everyone keeps saying they have a budget of £45mil - but some talk of selling Aubemyang to help fund moves for Zaha and Tierney. ?

Selling Aubameyang to buy Zaha would be utter car crash and not go down well! More chance they try and get decent money for Torreira back to Italy with him reportedly not that happy in England (and having an Italian other half) albeit that wont be popular either (we only waited 10+ years for someone like him).

Bigger issue is they cant get rid of the deadweights that are on ridiculous money, Ozil, Mhiki, Mustafi etc to free up room in the wage budget

Some of the crap on here about Zaha, comedy gold.

Lots of MOTD stereotypical comments being spouted.

Watched every minute of each premier league game last season that Zaha played in. Apart from Hazard and the kid from Bournemouth on the left (Fraser? ) in those games no one else has come near Wilf for close control, dribbling and skill.

I just hope he stays, it’s been brilliant watching him.

This is typical though of the armchair supporters watching highlights or televised matches though Rupert, I watch players off the ball as much as on it, which the armchair critic will never see, that’s why I was always over critical of Morata & Higuain, both lazy, both demanded the ball to their feet and sulked, yes they got the odd great or key goals in odd games, but on overall performances, both very poor strikers.
I’ve rated Zaha for some time and I’d have him at the Bridge.

That depends which report you read.
I'm reading £200k a week! Heck of a player for that wage.

The new contract appears to make him the 6th best paid player in the Prem behind - Pogba, Sanchez , Ozil , KBD and Martial so he is getting paid more than

Salah , Kane , Mane , Son , Lacazette , Firmino , Sterling , Aguero, Aubemeyang - that’s a good bunch of players who have proved themselves

Is it a case of giving big wages to counter the lack of CL football or trying to stop them leaving ? It’s a lot of money for someone who still needs to prove himself and realise the potential- hell of a pay rise for him.

For Zaha I guess it’s all about the next step up and how he goes at a bigger club - for teams like City and Liverpool he would be a back up , Spurs would be ideal for him but I guess they don’t seem interested, Chelsea have the ban , not sure if Utd would want him so it prob leaves Arsenal but I don’t think they will match the asking price

It might be worth looking abroad but to find out how good he really is then a step is needed - in the games I have seen him he has either been very dangerous and given the right back a hell of a game ( at Palace ) or he just wasn’t in the game ( at Anfield )

Its a derogatory offer and typical Arsenal I'm afraid. Unless they can sell to bolster funds I can't see Zaha fulfilling his "boyhood dream" to play for Arsenal. I think he'd be a good fit and really can't see another London club coming in to meet his desire to stay in the capital. If he goes further north to City etc will he get game time? Probably not. I wish Arsenal will look at their record in recent windows and see where these type of bids gets them but as you say, look forward to some kids coming in on the cheap on the last day of the window

I see Salah and his Egyptian colleagues have gone behind the pale and have used their influence to bring someone accused of sexual harassment back into the Egyptian squad.

“I know no means no but everyone deserves a second chance” or something similar is the quote.

Has he been found guilty of sexual harrassment or is he just accused still at this point?

Sir Cliff Richard might be able to explain the difference between accused and charged ,both mean he is innocent until convicted.
It’s a moral argument but legally black and white.
