Haha. Mustafi cracks me up. Guy looks minimum 35.
How about Diego Costa? Heās 29 but looks about 49!
Danny Ings always gets me, he is still only 25!
Iām moving to London in the summer!
Just accepted a job offer starting in the summer, which is cool. I might actually start being able to go to Arsenal games now because Iāll actually be in London!! Maybe itāll turn out that Iām a good luck talisman and weāll win the league the first season I start going to games on the reg, so if any of you lot need someone to come to a game with you/warm your empty seat for you Iāll be all ears.
One slightly ominous sign is that theyāre paying me a relocation bonus, which feels to me a portent of extremely high moving expenses I take it finding a flat, deposit, rent up front etc. all adds up a fair bit in London eh?
You could say thatā¦ Depends on the area youāll be living in too. Chelsea, I take it?
I was thinking Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Mayfair - that kind of thing
I really canāt wait to pay Ā£800 a month for the privilege of living in a roach infested, mouldy house-share with 4 others
Enjoy!
Not that big of a shock to me finding players ages, Iām same age as Bellerin so Iām in good company. Still got potential
Enjoy your time but they pass by quickly & just like that you will become GunnerWoman.
Wondering if Arsenal will get a sleeve sponsor, and if so wonder who it will be.
I didnāt think we were allowed? Because of the deal we have with Emirates
That is the stadium sponsor and main shirt sponsor though, didnt think it would have much bearing on a sleeve sponsorā¦but might be a factor dont know. Anyone know anything about this?
Pretty sure the deal we signed means we canāt have any other sponsor on our shirt. Weāre not allowed to have a special training shirt sponsor either. Poor business by us really.
if true then fucking hell its a good thing we have better negotiators now because that is pisspoor no wonder the club is in such a mess if we are doing shit deals like that, we are intentionally and purposefully limiting ourselves and on top of it getting a really poor price for the deal too.
Sleeve sponsors werenāt allowed when our deal was signed. There was no indication they were going to be. Itās an unfortunate thing for us that we canāt take advantage of it but I donāt think itās terrible negotiating. For all we know we got an extra couple of mil for that guarantee.
i guess so, but i dont think we got a really good deal out of them either because the stadium naming rights were chucked in for free and they closing amount on the deal if i can remember was quite poor considering what they are gettingā¦something like 20m a season if i can remember rightly
Doesnāt it seem a bit short sighted to give Emirates absolute exclusivity, though? The new contract was only signed in 2012.
Also, Hamburg have a sleeve sponsor and theyāre sponsored by Emirates too. Apparently Emirates āresigned from their exclusive rightā for them.
Well like I say it depends on the terms and what have you. Interesting about Hamvurg. It wouldnāt surprise me one bit though if we just didnāt want sleeve sponsorsā¦
Ugh.
Whoād have thought prosecco, whiskey, lager, tequila and jagerbombs would leave me feeling bad today?
My worst hangovers are always caused by mixing shit and not eating any dinner, and I keep repeating that same mistake. Iād had at least four shots of tequila and five or more pints (the prosecco and whiskey happened when we were still in the office) and Iām like, āyeah Jagerbombs are a great ideaā lol
