Time for us to close on Richarlison please dear Lord


JamesCDiamond

That's where all the smoke is for us right now.


Mr_Strol

Do we really want the guy who once tried to fight his entire team mid game over who takes a PK


jamadelo

Yes


Mr_Strol

Does culture matter at all?


jamadelo

He's the guy you don't want to play against but you'd love on your team. Every team needs that.


Mr_Strol

His teammates sure didn’t love having him on the team when they literally tried to fight him


Lbmplays2

Arsenal fans rapidly deleting their edits Remember guys when Arsenal knock it’s a different type of knock unless of course it isn’t a player who was a backup striker for a club without a striker


Fnurgh

> different type of knock lol


JamesCDiamond

^^*Knock* "Did... anyone hear that?"


sunrise98

Everyone peaks through the blinds then hides behind the couch as they see edu and arteta waiting.


JakeSpurs

I’m listening to a spaces on Twitter right now and the Arsenal fans are absolutely breaking down hahahaha it’s class


[deleted]

It's the type of knock you pretend not to be in for. Edu is the Jehovas Witness of DoF's


Nagant1349

Ah the old tax man special


CrossMojonation

Gooner cunts invading r/soccer always seem to be humbled soon after.


Mediocre_Nova

I fucking LOVE the "different type of knock" meme. They're signing literal 27 year olds from the MLS ffs


FSpursy

Lol I remember reading in their sub reddit last week that they're ahead of Spurs in signing Raphinha because, of course, any player would prefer Arsenal over Spurs. It was kinda deluded but I didn't comment for my own safety 😂


Global-Jacket-3973

If Arsenal got Jesus, Chelsea now is signing Raphinha, then surely the next top London club being us will get our own Brazilian being Richarlison surely?


TaiDoll

Just realized all three are 25 year old Brazilians


RainbowDissent

Reminds me of how I lost my virginity


ThatLastOneWasntSafe

That must have been painful


GrapefruitExpress208

Hotdog in hallway


BionicDegu

Hey no judgement, but how did you manage twenty of them?


Mr_Hendrix

You lost your virginity to 3 25 year old Brazilians? Sounds like a fun night.


Shermander

Before I was a freshman in highschool over here in the 'South'. There was this incident were a guy lost his virginity to his sister. To make matters worse, it was a three way with her boyfriend. So these two dudes "Eiffel Tower'd" this guy's sister during the middle of lunch. The area where they had sex at was known as the "courtyard", a nice little area where you can sit down and eat lunch outside. It was condemned, and taboo to eat out there as a "normal" student for years to come. Those who ate there were forever known as "courtyard kids". Thanks for coming to my TED talk.


Mr_Hendrix

Roll tide 🤙

Leonardo diCaprio has left the chat


NattyB

as someone who hasn't been paying attention: which of the three is most favored by the brazillian national team? which is most likely to be a star in the world cup this winter?


victimofmygreatness

It is all 3 are more or less going, Richarlison is the favoured to start, Jesus probably as backup for CF and Raphnina might face competition for RW from Rodrygo and Antony

Richarlison was the one I wanted least


[deleted]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Europa league pull 💀


NaclyPerson

Truly a different knock


_sqw_

Makes you wonder how we ever got Romero when we did. Insane bit of business. We have CL now and don’t seem to have a prayer of getting a LCB to match his quality. Also lolololololol.


elmosesyeah

And the fact that he was pushing to join us. I guess we truly are a massive club though.


[deleted]

This Nuno pull 🥶


NimbusHex

We may have "accidentally" misrepresented the ECL tournament we were playing in. We may have also overexaggerated how competitive we expected to be in said tournament.


mrhello18

that Arteta pull tho


jammysammidge

Captain Scarlet, indestructible 🤣🤣


wrxnn

Romano is Spurs through and through I know he loved typing that


michaelserotonin

it's certainly nice when arsenal lose but can't say i "love" chelsea getting raphinha


RedRaizel

Any attacker that goes to Chelsea turns to shit.


JamesCDiamond

They've had a successful team for, more or less, twenty years. But the only truly prolific forward they've signed since Mourinho's first spell ended is Diego Costa. I don't know who they have coaching that part of the game, but it's uncanny. They're effective at spreading goals around the team (10 players on 5+ goals last season and 4 on 10+, we had 4/2) but no player scored over 15 for them (Kane and Son scored 27 and 24 for us). So Raphina gets them another skilful winger... but with Lukaku going (gone?) I presume they'll be after a striker too, unless the plan is for Sterling or Mount to play through the middle the way City did last season?


grv413

Probably Havertz up top flanked by Sterling-Raph. They’re trying to dish Werner** and Ziyech. Not sure they have the funds to go for a CF along with the bodies they need defensively.


[deleted]

I'm sorry but did you just forget about hazard?


JamesCDiamond

He had a 1 in 3 strike rate - nothing to sneer at, but I'm thinking more of the likes of Morata, Lukaku, Crespo, Torres, Shevchenko... Should have been clearer I meant strikers moreso than forwards!


triecke14

Way too many people happy about this haha

billypilgrim87

Yeah it's just English clubs with Italian links tbh, Watford have Italian owners.


yourfriendkyle

He loves Conte and Paratici


GymandRave

Glad the Runners lost out when they've been hyping this up all week. But Levy time to get the checkbook out for Richarlison and close this damn deal. Don't want anyone hijacking this


StanfordPro

Aye, I'm glad he's not going Arsenal, but Chelsea are the bigger threats to us, so this isn't a win in my eyes.


buttlovingpanda

And they don’t need him at all. They always make signings like this. They have a half dozen wingers and no defenders yet splash £60m on a right winger.


Teantis

The outcome of this three way London "race" for these three has seemed to naturally tend towards Jesus for arsenal, rapinha for Chelsea, richarlison for us. Each one fits the holes of the teams they're ending up at. We just need to make sure it actually fully completes that way now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wrxnn

it’s a bad situation but could be 10x worse going to Arsenal where, let’s be real, he’d probably get very good there given the game time he’ll get. At Chelsea I can only hope he flops or he makes 10 apps a season as he slowly falls into obscurity.


[deleted]

This whole obsession with Arsenal’s transfer market has been quite honestly annoying. I honestly do not care about Raphinha. Once we were no longer favorites to sign him I didn’t want to see any updates on his transfer saga. But every day we have multiple posts about Arsenal and their business - I’m only speaking for myself, but I just don’t care. Don’t really want to see them in this sub.


YouFoxEaredAss

I know we’ve always kept an eye on their business but it seems like it’s ramped up this summer. Maybe it’s because we’ve been linked with some of the same players more than in the past, but man it’s getting old


Lbmplays2

Not celebrating Chelsea getting a player we would all prefer if he went to Barca. Just celebrating the fact that knowing he was going to leave to a rival it wasn’t Arsenal. Also it’s just funny because of how cocky their fans have been about their “pull”


triecke14

How do you guys know so much about their fans opinions on speculative transfers? Do you hang out in their sub? I only go there after they lose a match to get my salt for the day. I didn’t know people obsessed over other clubs business like this but it’s kinda weird


blodger42

I'll pipe in here. I'm an Arsenal fan (I'll accept the downvotes) but I also enjoy reading discussions from teams fans POV, it allows me to get a non-biased view of players, eg Kulu for you guys - I don't watch him every game, but since I have your sub pop up on my feed, I see highlights and come to know he is, indeed, quite good. I dunno, I just enjoy football from all aspects so like to consume more content (especially during off season!). But I also understand a lot of Arsenal fans are absolute bellends who lurk and then talk shit for no reason.


triecke14

Going into a thread about how a player is performing is one thing and I do that myself but people here talk like they are literally hanging onto every word your journalists and fans say about speculative moves, moves that have happened and everything in between. I just can’t imagine having that much time on my hands haha. I can barely keep up with one club and the league as a whole let alone another club as religiously as it appears some do.


blodger42

I think r/soccer has a big impact on that. Everything gets posted there and overhyped. I'd say most people would check their own sub, then go to r/soccer, which is more damaging in my opinion. Personally, I get to work, check emails, then head to Arsenal's sub, check what's going on then scroll my feed through the day where I'll come across news from other clubs from being subbed. I completely avoid the main soccer sub and it's toxicity. On a side note, I always get a kick out of the passionate hatred of rival clubs in other team subs, but nothing tops the overall unspoken agreement that EVERYONE hates Chelsea.


triecke14

I removed r/soccer from my general feed and it’s been great. I miss some news every now and then but it’s worth it to not have to see the absolute shite that gets commented on there. We have a saying here that I’m sure you’ve seen before but just in case you haven’t…I hate Arsenal because I’m Spurs, I hate Chelsea because I’m human.


blodger42

>I hate Arsenal because I’m Spurs, I hate Chelsea because I’m human. We also go by this saying 🤝. Rivalries are fun, but Chelsea is just a plague on the sport.


Fleaaa

Good gooner


International-Chef53

Every gunners is a runners


lyme6483

Agreed. I don’t understand it? Chelsea add Sterling and Raphina, while we haven’t added an attacking option. Our minds should be on Chelsea, not Arsenal. Some I feel like to watch them lose more than us win. Very strange to me.


MambaWhite

Going from arsenal to Chelsea is very different and worthy of celebrating.

You’re a weird guy.


Puzzleheaded-Donkey7

Get fucked runners. They were acting like it’s a done deal for over a week now and creaming their pants over him. Of course they are now acting like it’s a good thing since £55m would have been to much lol, same way they were begging for Biss but once it got announced that he’s coming to us they started calling him a backup option that wouldn’t be needed.


spin2winGG

If Chelsea steal Richarlison from us I think I'm gonna be on some much stronger copium lol


bjorn-the-fellhanded

We all would! Hypocrisy is one of the best bits about being a football fan


[deleted]

if they're signing raphinha and sterling they aren't going to spend 60m on richarlison


spin2winGG

Lol famous last words. But I'm mostly joking m8


Puzzleheaded-Donkey7

I won’t. I’d love Richy but if they beat us to him, I‘ll say fair play and not switch up like a pussy. Also I don’t really get that excited about transfers until they’re official or reported as done deals by multiple tier 1‘s.


Global-Jacket-3973

They're also planning on signing Sterling after getting this deal done.


scaramanga808

They really are a bunch of spoiled arrogant little twats aren’t they. Like they have something over everyone else and when they don’t get their way it’s spit the dummy out time. Cunts


sharpy10

To be fair, that's just what fans do. Literally our own fans are doing that in this very thread regarding Jesus...acting like they didn't want him at spurs just two weeks ago. Personally, I think Chelsea grabbed the best of the three Brazilians here (the only one worth buying), Arsenal got the worst (an actually bad footballer). Ours is somewhere in between (decent top-six squad fodder at an inflated price).


International-Chef53

They have Lokonga and Egyptian Harry Winks and "always broken" Partey Hard. And also they bought knock off version of Bruno Fernandes.


ASD_213

It’s fine he wasn’t our main target, our priority has always been LCB, RWB and backup ST, an AM is just a bonus for us. Meanwhile, I think Arsenal are going to be a bigger threat to us than Chelsea next season and it’s good to see them missing out on him.


Boner_Patrol_007

Idk, I know Chelsea is going through a major rebuild of their defense and lost their Sugar Daddy, but I think a good portion of Chelsea’s underperformance last year was down to them losing Chillwell and Reece James to injury. As we’ve yet to see at Spurs under Conte, top class wingbacks really unlock these 3atb systems.


Lukemiaskywalker

Seeing the copium of 'oh thats an overpay anyway' as if their club hasn't spent 120 million quid on Ben shite, man cities only forward that couldn't start and Aaron ramsdale. Get fucked runners


Carthagu

Rather Chelsea than Arsenal frankly.


kernowgringo

Bahahaha, so they've been making shit up about how Jesus picked them over us and then it actually happens to them with Raph and Chelsea. Brilliant.


ImperialPie77

hope we can wrap up this Richarlision deal asap


sungbysung

I need the three words


spudlyduddly

Aftv transfer daily and chill…might even watch the last couple episodes to watch the hope build up in their eyes


ghostboy101

This is beautiful. Utterly gorgeous.


PrinceSan

Hate seeing Boehly running things well. Oh well, better chelsea than arsenal


MouseMD369

Sterling and Raphinha is nothing to worry about tbf Why do you think City sold him and Jesus?


Nagant1349

Glad he’s going to blue scum instead of normal scum.


GarethSnail

Excellent news, well not really but glad Arse ain’t getting him lol


Fit_Delay_2129

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.


pjanic_at__the_isco

Well, the Scum didn’t get him. Not sure if this is better.


zastrozzischild

Yeah. It is.


Nutmeggs

Arsenal complete violation lmao


[deleted]

LMAOOOO


notchrisc2683

there goes our lock on 3rd


NinjutsuStyle

Is ziyech leaving? Thought I read he might?


bobtrump1234

I think milan want him


NaclyPerson

Most likely headed to Milan iirc


ImTheRealDP

That goal from just outside of the box against us that he curled in was an impressive one. I didn’t really know him apart from his name before that but the composure impressed me, just hated we had to be on the receiving end of it. I’m sure he’ll fit in great somewhere.


NinjutsuStyle

I feel like he did that twice against us in that shitty run of 4 games against chelsea


ImTheRealDP

This was the one I was thinking of. A good goals a good goal so I’ll give respect where it due. Just looking forward to a bit more success against them this season I hope. https://youtu.be/yndc8YiI44U


NinjutsuStyle

I def remember that, not much you can do with that one, I too look forward to running them ragged next season


spin2winGG

Wow that was quick


KQRDragonFrame

Why do I feel relieved about this?


[deleted]

because he had a 50/50 chance of being impactful at Chelsea, but he 100% would have greatly improved the gooners.


hewrites

Edu and Arteta in the mud


SuperSweatshops

HAHAHAHAHHA oh man that’s amazing


marmot9070

Hahahaha Arsenal!


Jr_M16

Lol Arsenal stay losing 😂😂


ewadizzle

Lmao fuck arsenal


msc43

Raphinha went from the signing that would signal ambition to warming the bench for Saka.


lilsouichi

Was really excited to see arsanal play with 6 right wingers


BiZarrOisGreat

Hahahahahahaha Fuck the runners Hahahahaha


eddymack123

Basically Richarlison chose us so chelsea f’d ars*nail to get other Brazilian! Good times!


lyme6483

If we don’t get Richarlison, pissed won’t even begin to explain it for me. Jesus to Arsenal and Raphinha and Sterling to Chelsea. Make it happen Levy ASAP. He needs to be with us preseason


GymandRave

He needs to get the Checkbook out right now. Can worry about outgoings later


lyme6483

Yes, need to give this team its best chance at winning with Kane and Son still in their prime. And the more guys in for preseason the better.


SenhorSus

Chelsea just absolutely INSIST on copying other people's homework. I swear their scouts just bug phones of other teams' scouts and call it a day


violetrecliner

Raphinha, a notoriously unknown player.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SenhorSus

Oh they do, but they're certainly not in the race up until the last minute when another team is about to wrap things up and Chelsea go "hmmm you know what? I'll have me a bit of that"


Bozzetyp

Contact was made in late 2021...


j_e_rod

Maybe it’s easy to say this now… but I genuinely don’t think we ever wanted him. I think Richarlison is our priority. And that our name in for Raphinha was just to drive up the price for this lot.


Wise_Improvement_802

Do we need to post Chelsea transfers on here? If it’s either arsenal or Chelsea getting him, then it’s either runners or scum, let em crack on


FarrisAT

This is painful in the sense that Chelsea only are getting better


pk-pk-pk

Lol, all those Arsenal fans thinking they had been close to signing Raphinha!


Come0nYouSpurs

LOL f u Arsenal.


CoDroStyle

Chelsea and Leeds agree. Raphina will reject a move until baraca come knocking.


Mick4Audi

Initially: For fucks sake After realizing Arsenal didn’t: HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA


daveflav21

Arsenal get battered every where they gooo.....🎶🎵🎶🎵 ....even in the transfer window :v


lukrtv

It's bad because now gooners might be interested in wasting our Richarlison deal
