Martinelli just signed a new deal, apparently through 2024 with a club option to extend for another year.

I've swung from "meh" to :banana: on the move over the course of this week and partly its because I've come around to the idea that there might be real long term upside here. A lot has to go right for the Patriots to want to extend Cam long term for big dollars but if things do go right, he is...

I haven't seen him play that many matches but I've never seen him do anything except give 110% on the pitch at all times and I think you're right that he has some real talent going forward as well. Arsenal really does have a nice core of young players - I think Tierney (23), Guendouzi (21)...

City currently has a better goal difference on the season than Liverpool. Yet will be 20 points behind assuming this scoreline holds. Score em when they count I guess.

Other than making me watch the helmet catch again, nice work!

It's funny that the league is still pretending there is a chance they will have fans in the stadiums.

I'm coming around on this, if only because it allows me to dream of (unlikely) scenarios where the Patriots can actually compete with the best teams for another year.

Lawrence is a pipe dream but drafting at the #8 or #18 makes a big difference if you're hoping for the second or third best QB in the draft. There isn't a lot of upside with Cam as a longer term solution, as if he plays well you're going to pay him $20-25M per year in his decline phase...

Worst case is that he beats out Stidham and the Pats win 7-9 games, so we never get to see Stidham play but we don't draft high enough in the first round to get one of the better QBs. The attraction of Stidham is that if he's good you've got a potential long term solution at QB and if not good...

Yuck.

Meh. Focusing overwhelmingly on Pepe is a lazy way of thinking about what Arsenal has done in the last two years. As is writing an article exhorting Arsenal to buy younger and cheaper players with high ceilings and not mentioning Martinelli, Guendouzi, Saliba, etc.

The core argument of this piece is hard to argue with: Buy good, younger players who are undervalued by the market and find a coach that will develop them and make them greater than the sum of their parts. The bizarre thing is that the writer doesn't seem very familiar with what Arsenal has...

Dude looks like a load.

Sign me up. Versatility is always great and we really needed to get more athletic on defense. Hard to think of two better picks in that regard.

I don't know much about him but Chung went seriously downhill as last year wore on (definitely partly injury related) and I don't mind looking for his replacement one year ahead of time. More generally, I think the defense just needs more athleticism in the middle of the field and it sounds...
