Maybe this is my Arsenal tinted glasses, I see the latest update on Vini to read more of a Madrid PR item. They aren't saying that they are meeting his ask or even how much they improved it. "We offered him what we think he is worth and HE decided to leave" makes him bad guy.
Bruno Guimarães vs Alex Scott - Central Mid Comparison Radar and Distribution 2025-26 Considering some of the alternatives that would have fit better age wise, the Bruno signing fits better for now.
The signing of Bruno Guimarães might not check every single box to be a perfect transfer but he’s a damn good player and makes Arsenal stronger for the next 2-3 seasons. I’m excited and we can deal with the medium term later, let’s win more trophies.
It looks like tomorrow's Arsenal match will be streaming on Paramount+ and Fox Deportes in the USA.

The third kit is great, the problem for me is that I basically already have it. If I hadn't gotten the 2021/22 kit, I would be very happy to buy that one. I like that they went back to a similar design that calls upon the classic yellow.

We watched a drone show last night and they are fun and better than probably all but the highest caliber fireworks shows.
Outside of the young players balling, the most positive things that came out of the Friendly were Ben White being able to play and look decent, and Kai Havertz flying around.
The match day bot had a few hiccups and stuttered a bit with the updates I made but overall it has worked well and looks ready for another season.
