Really hope Rice deal gets done soon. Getting anxious even though we kind of know he only wants to come to Arsenal.

Good morning Astrealix. I can't believe you remember to do this daily until we get a bot going.
It's part of my daily routine at this point, I F5 this place way more than daily anyway so it's not too much of a hassle 😅
Yeah, sorry about that. 😔
Bot was a bit more involved than I thought. But I'm working on it.
No worries whatsoever haha, I like having this as part of my routine tbh. Did you see that c/RedDevils has one set up? Might be worth referencing
Yeah I did!
@[email protected] linked it and I have been taking a look. Not trying to completey rip it off though lol
Edit: pretty sure I messed up that mention lol
I got a notification about it so the mention worked!
I’m glad that you do, it’s hard to post stuff here, but I am trying to do more here daily as well. It’s hard replacing the goal streamers.
Our mods probably should get a group chat going; I've set up a Matrix account if anyone wants to also set one up and message. Not sure how it works but it seems like a federated messaging service so probably the best for us? I'm down to use whatever though.

A bit busy this next day or two. Will look into it over the weekend.
We're about to potentially see AFCBell part 2: https://twitter.com/PurplePanel/status/1671145538270507009
If one of the deals don't go. I'm deactivating my account because I have nowhere to be here.
If Rice signs for City there's officially nothing good left in this world.
Personally doubt he goes; we've been spending ages on this, plus he's surely seen what happened to Phillips and they've just signed Kovacic also
Yes but with Gundogan leaving and Bernardo Silva possibly leaving, they would have space for him to start. I just hope our groundwork with him is enough to get him to Arsenal.
No Rice in the claypot but I'm like meh. I think I'm a bit more frustrated that our main target deals are very difficult to get over the line rarher than we cannot get a specific player. I am a bit in awe that some clubs get deals done without too much noise.
Liverpool seem the best at this. They move in silence and you only really hear about the deal when its about to be done. We have been doing that off late with Fabio Vieira last summer and hopefully Timber this summer.
I wonder how Liverpool make sure even the counterparty aren't leaking stuff. I get the feeling that a lot of the stuff coming out in relation to us is from the other team/player's camp
I think it's about whether or not the opposite camp respects us enough. I do feel like most of the time we are being used as bait. It's like Rice and West Ham...Mudpuppy and Shakhtar, it's obvious they don't want to sell.
Most of the time it's like buying a house, come in with a mortgage or the other guy comes in with cash in full right off the bat. Who would you pick as an owner?
If the media is to be believed, we're really getting rid of our first team midfield in Xhaka and Partey and replacing them with Rice and Havertz... I'm both worried and super duper excited to see what happens!
From what I understand, selling Partey would mean another midfielder (like Lavia or maybe Caicedo?)
Yet another prime target fucked by edu
Mikel and we deserve better
If fans had their way, we would have spent 100m on Mudryk, wouldn't have Ramsdale or Jorginho, and would have sacked Mikel 2 years ago.
Im OK with trusting Edu over placating fans.
It feels like West Ham knew Man City would come knocking too, especially with how fast our bids were rejected. We were always going to have to bid against City for Rice.
