Why are we so different from those clubs? We’re a a global brand, owned by the largest sports conglomerate in the world, which is itself owned by one of the ~100 richest people in the world, making top-of-the-table money in by far the richest league in the world. We’ve spent as much as anybody in the last few years and we haven’t even made any Champions League money. We absolutely can afford wages like that.

Yeah, and Wenger pretending Sanogo was good is peak banter stuff. But Chamakh and Gervinho get huge bonus points for having extremely fucked up hair and I can’t imagine a banter XI without Lord Bendtner, the Banter King

For me it can’t be Willian because there are too many other factors at play for why it didn’t work out, and it not working out is one of the things that led to Bukayo Saka becoming one of the best attackers in the world.

Honestly it’s such a shame that there are only three spots for Chamakh, Gervinho, Bendtner, and Sanogo. I feel like a banter XI isn’t complete without all four. I think Sanogo misses out for me just because he barely played and cost nothing, but Wenger pretending he might be good is peak banter era. Decisions decisions…

People say Raya makes them nervous on corners when Ramsdale has let in what, three or four goals directly from the corner kick? Doesn’t make sense to me.

I still have a hard time believing we have no money to spend in January. It would be an odd decision to leave ourselves no room to add to the squad in the event of injuries or underperformance.
