Every time I see Turner play now I think of the words "It's a dawg fight out there" lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Turner didn't have two much to do against Mexico. Mexico's team looked so outplayed, there federation has really sabotaged themselves.

lately losing interest in Arsenal. been supporting since 2007. Never felt like this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That’s okay, it happens sometimes as you grow older. Priorities change and interests change. Sometimes you lose interest in something temporarily as well and it comes back in a while. It’s all good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No issue with that, honestly, things change. Only concern I'd have is if there's nothing taking its place, if that makes sense - are you getting more into other things, or are you just losing interest?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

May I ask why? Its the opposite for me. I feel like the team has started to become exciting after a long time. I'm even more excited for the near future of the team.

I'm a bit worried once the original r/gunners mods take over. Moderating 2 communities on different sites will take a lot. I don't want c/gunners to become neglected.

Hey @[email protected], I completely understand the concerns and to be honest, like I mentioned in the transfer tier list thread - I'm a little nervous as well. I've shared with the /r/gunners mods my concerns that

  • splitting their time between two platforms will be difficult
  • moderating a community of 300k and 300 is quite different. They'll need to be active participants in this community rather than passive enforcers like they are on /r/gunners.

In the end, this time commitment is something the /r/gunners mods need to assess whether they are willing to do for the better of the community. /c/gunners is literally one of the most active communities on Lemmy - and I believe the most active sports community. @[email protected] has been great in encouraging people on Reddit to come here and @[email protected] is also a mod at the Arsenal women Lemmy community. But if this community is to survive in the long run, we'll need a driven mod team who will drive engagement on this platform.

I appreciate you addressing my concerns. I guess it got it in my head with not seeing the other mods being very active here.

/c/gunners has kind of exploded compared to some of the similar communities and I would like the continue on that tread. I am glad to see that the mods are encouraging users to come here and seem to be up to the challenge of moderating two platforms.

The original mods are taking over?

I’ve gaslighted myself to accept Havertz. Here we go?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At this point I'm willing to let Arteta and Edu cook. Vieira aside, there hasn't really been a bad signing per se. I'm not even ready to call Vieira bad, just less impressed by him than I'd like to be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think Fabio still deserves some time. This pre-season will be so important for him. Hopefully it's just a case of it taking time for him to settle into a new country and new league.

Don't let Chelsea fool you, there is a great player in that body, but Chelsea has been a black pit of death for attackers lately. Werner, Lukaku, Sterling, Havertz, Ziyech, Auba, Felix, Mudryk, Cuca (defender I know) are all great players but just haven't been able to show that while at Chelsea.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't doubt what you say is true. But he doesn't actually tackle or solve any of our problems. Even if we're bringing him in as Saka cover, his end product has always been vastly inferior.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the latest on Caicedo? Is he Chelsea bound?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Times Sport reported that we withdrew apparently. Tier 3 tho

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! Gotta say it's hard to imagine us signing 200m+ worth of players between Rice, Caicedo, Havertz, and others. Not surprised if one of them doesn't happen.

Just posted an update from Romano. Apparently talks are advancing with Chelsea 🤢
