I’ve genuinely seen Arsenal fans on social media complaining about Galatasaray offering ‘only’ €45m for Gabriel Martinelli, whilst urging their club not to sign Pedro Neto. I’m not sure what planet these fans live on, but that Martinelli fee can be very easily explained with the number one, representing the number of years left on […] The post Unpopular opinion: Arsenal fans have lost touch with reality if they don’t want this £75m Gabriel Martinelli replacement appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino (Picture: Getty) Mikel Merino says Arsenal ‘probably’ have the ‘best midfield in football’ after Bruno Guimaraes’ £75m move from Newcastle United. The Premier League champions signed Brazil international Guimaraes on a four-year deal after a protracted saga with Newcastle. Guimaraes bolsters an Arsenal midfield that already includes captain Martin Odegaard, England stars Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze, former Real Madrid target Martin Zubimendi, academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly and World Cup winner Merino. Arsenal will try to retain their Premier League crown this season while mounting another challenge for the Champions League after losing to PSG in the final back in May.

Merino, who has returned to Arsenal after helping Spain win the World Cup, believes the Gunners are in good shape to do just that after the ‘amazing’ signing of Guimaraes. Guimaraes made his first appearance for Arsenal in Wednesday’s pre-season draw with Cesc Fabregas’ Como. ‘Amazing signing,’ Merino said when asked about the Newcastle star swapping St James’ Park for the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta and new Arsenal signing Bruno Guimaraes (Picture: Getty) ‘He has proved throughout these years how good he is at Newcastle. And he showed it today again. A lot of composure, technical ability, a lot of defensive effort as well. ‘So it’s a very good signing. A top player, but we have many of those in this team. So everyone that comes to help the team is welcome.’ Asked about the strength of Arsenal’s midfield following Guimaraes’ arrival, Merino added: ‘Honestly, it’s unreal. Probably the best midfield in football. Arsenal are hoping to retain the Premier League (Picture: Getty) ‘The amount of quality that we have there, with every player that can come on the pitch and make a good shift. It’s great. ‘That’s good for the team. That’s good for the squad. It raises everyone’s level because if you have a bad day, the one that is close to you is going to do a great job. ‘I think we have an amazing squad. The hunger is still there. Not because we won it last season, we’re going to be happy with it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbyqbq_COQ2/?hl=en&img_index=1 ‘We want more and more and more and we want every trophy possible. That’s the best quality of this team. Not only the amount of depth that we have, the quality that we have in every position, but that hunger.’ Premier League legend and ex-England striker Alan Shearer also believes Arsenal boast arguably the best midfield on the planet following the deal for Guimaraes. ‘Arsenal are signing a top-quality player in Bruno Guimaraes,’ the Newcastle hero told Betfair. ‘There’s no doubt about that. ‘They’re signing a player who’s so comfortable on the ball under pressure, who can make that killer pass. He’s got a great attitude, too, we’ve seen that at Newcastle. ‘So, there’s no doubt he’ll improve them. I think with the likes of Rice, Odegaard and Bruno, there won’t be many better midfields out there.’ Arsenal begin their Premier League title defence with a home match against newly-promoted Coventry City a week on Friday.

Manchester United aren’t quite ready to compete for the title, says club legend Steve Bruce (Picture: talkSPORT) Steve Bruce has played down Manchester United’s Premier League title hopes and picked out reigning champions Arsenal as the ‘team to beat’ this coming season. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal cantered to the title with a game to spare last term, holding off nearest rivals Manchester City to end the club’s painful 22-year wait for top-flight glory. Having finished with an imperious seven-point advantage at the summit, the Gunners will hope to carry that same form into the new campaign, which starts at home to Premier League new boys Coventry in a week’s time. First, though, the north Londoners will look to build some confidence in what promises to be an intriguing Community Shield showdown against Enzo Maresca’s City at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Sunday.

For Bruce’s former club United, the season gets up and running away to newly promoted Hull City – the team he managed from 2012 to 2016 – on August 22. A dramatic end-of-season resurgence under Michael Carrick has Bruce feeling positive about the year ahead at Old Trafford, with the club competing in the Champions League again for the first time since 2023/24. Earlier this week, ex-United and England goalkeeper Ben Foster put his neck on the line by tipping the Red Devils for the title while featuring as a guest on talkSPORT. Arteta steered Arsenal to a first league title in 22 years last season (Picture: Getty) Carrick was given the Manchester United job on a full-time basis back in May (Picture: Getty) When asked for his thoughts on Foster’s bold prediction, though, Bruce replied: ‘I think that’s too much too soon. I’d love to say he was right! ‘But I still think Arsenal are the one to beat and they’ve just strengthened as well with Bruno Guimaraes alongside Declan Rice. And I still believe there’s one or two coming into Arsenal. ‘They’re still the one to beat. They won it at a canter in the end, didn’t they? So they’re the ones to beat. ‘Look, Manchester United have made huge strides. I would think getting in the Champions League would be a success for Michael Carrick. But for United to go on and win it? I’m not sure they’re quite ready yet.’ The Gunners are the ‘team to beat’ this coming season, says Bruce (Picture: Getty) Bruce has been hugely impressed with the work Carrick has done in ‘simplifying’ the task at hand at United, with the club rising from seventh – when he took over – to finish third in the table last season. ‘He’s come in and steadied the ship in his own way,’ Bruce – who won three Premier League titles with United – went on. ‘He’s put his stamp on them and he’s played in a certain way which is very simple. Carrick steered United to a third-placed finish last term (Picture: PA) ‘It looks as if he’s simplified it whereas before it always looked so complicated. ‘I’m never going to criticise a head coach of anybody because I know how difficult it is, but the last manager [Ruben Amorim] seemed to be just obsessed with the way he wanted to play and it wasn’t working. ‘He [Amorim] seemed reluctant to change what he wanted to do which is fair enough, but certainly Michael has come in, played a back four and been very simple in what he’s done, but the players have responded to it.’ Bruce won three Premier League titles with the Red Devils (Picture: Getty) According to Bruce, the added workload that comes with qualifying for the Champions League means this season will be a ‘different kettle of fish’ for Carrick and his team compared to the last. ‘A foray into Europe would be fantastic,’ he continued. ‘The big thing Michael had in his advantage last year was that Manchester United were knocked out of the FA Cup and League Cup very quickly and they didn’t have Europe, so they played
