Except, it wasn’t really a hijacking at all. The Independent can now reveal that Arsenal had actually struck the principles of an agreement with Palace as early as the morning of Sunday 10 August. They managed to keep it extraordinarily quiet, as illustrated by how it was only after Wednesday evening’s sensations that multiple sources were willing to talk about it.
Holy hell…
Does that mean Arsenal had committed to the deal before Kai’s injury?
Am I being too greedy hoping there’s another striker coming as well?
How about Wissa? 🤣
I mean it sounds like it was agreed but we needed the board to pull the trigger and they did after Kai’s injury
Not seeing any reporting on the severity of that yet.
Hoping it’s not as bad as we fear.
Only thing I’ve heard is that it’s not his ACL. So that’s good news. Hopefully he’ll only be out for 4-6 weeks.
