Four goals now. PSV leading 7-1.
No deadline drama for Gakpo.
Probably saw Southampton and Leeds were his only option, decided to stay. Rightly so IMO. Play a good World Cup and move to a top team.

I just donāt ever see him at Arsenal.
Heās too good and established to sit on the bench for us and we arenāt gonna bench Saka or Martinelli.
Someone like Mudryk or Lindstrom would be a more realistic acquisition I think.
We then donāt have to play them for 90 minutes all the time tho. We need quality backups
True but I just donāt see Gakpo being happy to be back up and I canāt see us paying Ā£50-70m+ for a back up.
Fine for Mahrez

Very true, good point. If we win the EL or maybe even the the PL () he might be open to come in in a rotational role.
PSV want to do a deal with Leeds since they pay a good fee.
Gakpo doesnāt want to go there as apparently Man Utd, Arsenal and Real Madrid are keeping tabs. He desperately wants to join Real Madrid.
Honestly I canāt see any of these three sides making a January bid so it could get awkward. Leeds and Southampton happy to pay PSVās asking price but the player is unwilling.

World cup showing could be the difference on this.

Yeah, that goal clip above wouldnāt be a goal if the keeper was decent.
He needs to do it on a bigger stage.
Kept him quiet last week and will do again tonight.
When he was linked to us in the summer, I remember reading PSV fansā opinions who thought he could do way better than Arsenal. Like he was far too good for us.
Hadnāt even realised Southampton and Leeds were trying so hard to sign him.
Think PSV fans need a reality check. Even PL teams that are placed 17th - 10th have the resources to take their players lol.
Perhaps theyāve reevaluated the situation and weāre deemed good enough now. Hope we spank these cunts tonight.
Looks a decent player. I donāt see him becoming a superstar though.
Would be a brilliant young prospect for most teams but we have Saka, Martinelli and ESR who are of a similar age and further along.
Donāt think Gakpo fits the profile of what we need. Raphinha would have been perfect as would a certain winger who plays his trade in London.
What do we reckon, heās off after the World Cup?
Ten Haag will convert him into a center forward
Still not convinced by him. Think heās more likely to be a Justin Kluivert than a Bergkamp.
I wasnāt impressed with his performances against us but heās got 30 G/A so far this season.
Thatās impressive output.
Is the Eredivisie that shit?

It is that shit to be fair. I mean look at the Ajax team who had that magical CL run a few years ago. Despite sales worth hundreds of millions, not one of those players has set the world alight.
Gakpoā numbers are very impressive though.
