    Figures quoted for the transfer fee & personal terms set off alarm bells at Arsenal apparently, and when Lepizig didn't want to negotiate, Arsenal quickly left the negotiations for Šeško. When you look at how many other issues Arsenal needed to fix this window, it only makes sense. Had he been one of just a couple important signings, things might have been different.

    Newcastle have the money to get him almost regardless of what RB Leipzig ask for, if they sell Isak. United, having spent considerably on Cunha and Mbuemo, are not in the same situation. The downside of Watkins is his age, but he might be a good "transitional" striker, either to give Højlund more time, or to fill a gap in the squad until United find a younger striker in a few transfer windows time perhaps.

    I heard that Sesko agent compared him to Messi lol

    I think Watkins could give us 2 good seasons for sure and help us up the table and offer much needed experience.

    Man United vs Everton 10pm UK time, Mbeumo and Cunha should start can't wait.

    I know agents like to talk up their clients, but wow, hahaha!

    I would think so too. If Watkins can stay injury free for the most part, then I think he will be a good signing for United. He was apparently the third option for Arsenal, if a deal for neither Šeško or Gyökeres had been possible. I think given the circumstances Arsenal ended up with the right player. Time will tell if he is the striker Arsenal so desperately need.

    I read earlier that Gyökeres had impressed in training after signing, and that he would be match ready if the PL season started now. That's a very good sign.

    I like that Man united are refusing to bid until Sesko says he wants to join them, if he won't commit or selects Newcastle it avoids us getting into a bidding war and we can move on.

    Gyökeres will do well, his numbers are incredible even if he scores 15 - 20 goals in the prem I see that as a success. I was checking each prem teams recruitment and to be honest right now Arsenal's looks the best, that will change if Liverpool sign Isak..

    Šeško never really said he was desperate to join Arsenal either, so that's another factor in why Arsenal ended up with Gyökeres, who only wanted Arsenal. I think for both Newcastle and United, they really need the player to make up his mind about his next step.

    Arsenal haven't had a 15-20 goal striker in ages, so even if his numbers drop off a bit – which they likely will – numbers like that is really good. I think he needs to deliver straight away though, because if Liverpool sign Isak, we might have a one horse race quite early.

    A few have joked Sesko is just an agent trying to get as much money as possible for his current club.

    Gyökeres plays off the last man he will be good for your team and a real threat, I will wait until i consider him for my team playing it safe early on.

    Hahaha! They way things have been reported, anything looks possible! :))

    It's been reported that Arteta might have to work a bit with his system to get the most out of Gyökeres, so unless there's clear indication of playing time and of course goals in the remainder of the pre-season, I think he, and most of the Arsenal players really, are a wait-and-see.

    Maybe I have not watched enough of Arsenal though i think they need to draw teams onto them more.

    Cunha appears to be starting as number 9 tonight, interesting choice.

    Amad. Bruno, Mbeumo and Cunha just linked up for the first time and the attack was electric, almost a goal.

    Everton dangerous free kick... Garner ex United saved rebound hits post crikey.

    Our keepers parry into danger too much.

    Everton the better side, United new line up not clicking yet...

    I don't like this false 9.

    Penalty to United, when United go they cut through Everton very quickly.

    Bruno goal.

    Amad causing chaos, Mbeumo goes close with free kick at edge of box.

    Everton making this game physical which is good.

    Man United will be a different beast next season, something has changed.

    1 - 1 a fall from Ugarte led to a quick pass and shot.

    One thing I have noticed is our midfield does not have passages of none attacking sustained possession.

    Dorgu on for Mbeumo at half time will give us better balance and Amad now as a 10.

    Cunha as a 9 is a complete waste, he should be deeper as drives the play from midfield as a 10.

    Ugarte having a bad game causing us problems.

    Cunha shows what he can do from deep, should have been a penalty. Everton bullied our midfield which is a concern.

    Bruno dropped back I get why Amorim does this, Bruno offer more control and creativity as an 8 compared to what we have.

    Nasty elbow on Heaven that's a 3 match ban in other circumstances WT...

    What a goal from Mount 2 - 1.

    Rasmus coming on, please never play Cunha at 9 again.

    2 - 2 not sure what happened there, its been a competitive game Everton really have bullied United.

    Amad own goal I think.

    Ended 2 - 2 one of the most competitive pre seasons games I have seen in a while, perfect game leading into the season was a bit of a war at times.
