    The big news out of Arsenal is that Gunnersaurus has been saved by none other than Mesut Ozil. A smart move from Mesut to endear himself to the fans.

    Hey Mersut, make sure you tell everyone about it too.

    as long as I will be an Arsenal player...

    That's not much job security for the Gunnersaurus

    In the end Fulham made 11 signings the same as last time we were promoted. The short turn around between winning the play-off and the season started made it tough but Parker (Khan) seems to have done OK in the loan market.

    On paper they have strengthened but too many have little on no PL experience and we saw last time how big reputations in Europe (Seri) mean jack.

    At least although we have no points other clubs have also been dropping games everywhere so we are not out of it yet despite being everyone's favourite to finish 20th.

    The new players need to gel really quickly. Fortunately Parker's strength is building a team spirit. International window has come at a good time too.

    @dogmeat I wasn't impressed by what I saw from Fulham against Leeds and Villa. They came back well against Leeds but are heavily reliant on Mitrovic and need to work on getting him better service instead of just whipping in crosses to him hoping that he'll get on the end of one.

    Really generous for a man on 350K per week to donate ... about 0.15% of his salary to help out? At 31, no wonder Ozil doesn't want to leave.

    He didn't have to do it, even if there might be strings attached and other motives. Kroenke has got more money than Ozil.

    By the end of this month Ozil might not be one of 17 registered non-homegrown Arsenal players in their 25-man squad.

    Actually sounds like it reflects badly on the owner. I mean how much does a mascot cost?

    I was born cynical. I am still constantly amazed how much money players can earn even when not being selected. Their agents do a great job on their behalf.

    It does, but nothing new there as other staff were made redundant in recent months. Meanwhile the LA Rams have a new $6B stadium.

    Yeah, its Ozil making himself look good at Kroenke's expense. On twitter. So nah

    Liverpool would have forked out more than a million pounds in salaries to those that played to watch that shit show at the weekend! 🙂

    This is an interesting list - cannot guarantee the accuracy - it has Mane level with Drinkwater which is all sorts of wrong. Get a transfer to a big 6 team and you're set up for life even if you're never selected.

    @KiwiPie No idea either about the list, but someone has evidently gone to some trouble to compile it.

    What these crazy salaries suggest is that entertainment is the most important job - at least in Western civilization!

    Wow! Is that the first time a Goalkeeper has been top? I don't really need an answer but just surprised.

    @Hooroo De Gea's agent must have done some great negotiating when he had a move lined up to Real Madrid.

    @Hooroo no way a keeper should be the best paid. Brilliant bit of business on his part

    if i remember rightly, right about when that contract was signed, he was the difference between them being pretty good and relegation fodder. His shot stopping was unreal

    of course it almost immediately fell off a cliff. but the papers were already signed

    Man U do so much bad business these days.
