The Arsenal Thread

If it's such a massive trophy, why the winners qualify to Europa League to face Sparta Prague and Malmo FC, instead of qualifying to Champions League to face Juventus and Barcelona?

Back when Cup Winners Cup was a thing and worlds best team routinely played there, national cups were serious trophy. Now it's a kind of trophy managers don't really care about unless everything else in the season went badly and they need to appease the fans with something.

Players/managers mostly say it’s still a prestigious trophy they would all love to win.

Yeah and then they rest half the squad in cup games.

I guarentee if United were in Liverpool or City position you would be playing the kids and not bothering with the domestic cups. Its the sad truth.

Fine, it's the oldest tin pot trophy so let's call it the best out of tin pot trophies, you happy now?

Seriously though, national cups are the last priority for every club in every league. Viewership of the games is low until the semis, it's cool to win it but no one is too bothered if they don't win it. The only interesting thing about these competitions is when a top division team gets busted by a 3rd division club once every 5 years.

Sad truth unfortunately. You only have to see how the top side management treat the domestic cups.

I guarantee Ole would be bothered about the cups!

If you think so but there's a reason why it's his focus now but if United were to get back to the top. It would take a backseat to the league and Europe.

I dont even know what to say lol. First theres Luiz and then the decision to sign a crooked Mari who hasnt shown anything worth giving a long term deal. Along with Cedric getting a 4 year deal at 30 despite not playing a single minute.

Fabrizio Romano

@FabrizioRomano
Henrix Mkhitaryan will stay at Roma also on next season on a permanent deal. Agreement reached with Arsenal - never started any talks for a swap deal with Justin Kluivert.

New contract signed Good luck at @VfB, @DMavropanos




Arsenal bring back William Saliba (from St. Etienne) only to loan out Mavropanos (to Stuttgart).

Asked about whether he was concerned about not having the money to strengthen, Arteta said: Big concern... There is no magic. You need to improve with quality, quality players.

Arteta on Aubameyang future @Arsenal: "The way he looks at it when I speak with him, he sounds pretty convinced. But if he can see the success and direction we are taking it is the right one, I think he’ll be more positive about it, yes."

I guess now they have won the FA cup and at least have European footie next year it gives him an incentive to stay.

Is the Emmerdale Cup an incentive to stay? Only the money will be in reality.
