As it is the start of transfer season I have done an update to my transfer inflation calculator. These are the biggest ever transfers adjusted for Transfer Inflation.

The Rio Ferdinand move in 02/03 is crazy at today's price. Here is what it looks like for Arsenal. This goes back to 1996/97 only.

A thread with all the stats and graphics from the game. Now it is time for me to watch it.

Arsenal all over them in the opening few minutes. Got a couple nearly chances and some nice interplay.

Sevilla 1 (1.0)-(1.4) 2 Arsenal

Got the win that was needed





Arsenal invited a bit more pressure late than I would have liked.

I have spent a lot of my free time examining Aaron Ramsdale and I think that deserves a thread on what I have found thus far and where I think that deverges from the standard opinion of the player.

🧵 The first place to start is with his shot-stopping. He is rated as below average by StatsBomb, Opta, and Wyscout. On my model he comes out as basically bang average.

I have been thinking more about the Kai Havertz deal and I have really come to think it is a pretty exciting option and one that fits Arsenal quite well.

A thread on my thinking 🧵 I think even the bear case/worse scenario is that Arsenal get a player that adds depth and rotation options at 3-4 spots. Arsenal sorely needs RW options and he can provide that. Arsenal need more midfield depth (especially with attacking instincts) he can provide that.

Have Arsenal improved? A thread Starting with goals. Goals scored are slightly up, goals allowed are up and goal difference is bit worse than last but up from 2 years ago.

Let’s go Nervy

A striker wish list: Tier 1: Unicorns that won't happen but I wanted to post stats anyway.
