The GOP/right will claim this assassin was a lone wolf, that it can’t be extended past that, even though they encourage and permit political violence and have an anonymous army of heavily weaponed, depraved racists wandering our streets rounding people up and stuffing them in jail cells or worse.

Seems like Berta (and/or others) have made it pretty clear that if someone internal to Arsenal leaks information that has anything to do with ongoing negotiations they’ll be exiled in a less than a half a second. Tight ship this window, so far.

Hey say what you want about Andrea Berta but just don’t accuse him of not understanding Arsenal’s famous reputation for not getting anything done big and important early in the transfer window.

I think my new favorite transfer window ITK or social media charlatan’s meaningless word salad phrase, used to make it look like someone knows something, is “all relevant information has been gathered”.

Good to see that the “window closing” has stopped all the transactions dead in their tracks.

It’s not wise to measure one’s team by another team’s window. Needs are different and we know “winning windows” is meaningless. I will, however, be at least somewhat envious of Liverpool acquiring Wirtz, Barcola, and Frimpong (if Barcola happens) and I’m not ashamed to say that.

I keep hearing the “window is closed” but do people think the news of agreements is going to stop for six days? The “closed window” is a technicality, nothing stops teams from reaching agreements and social media making people aware of these agreements, even if the transactions aren’t “done”.

I was wrong about this. People didn't go insane last week. I do sense we are getting closer to this, though. Especially with Nypan going to City today (and really, who cares, he's not the difference-maker for us right now). I give it until Monday or Tuesday of next week. Get ready.

I wasn’t down on Sané like others were but for three years and on the reported salary he’s getting from Galatasaray? No thanks.

Why is this a “game of chicken”? A game of chicken implies great damage to one of the parties, and one thus gives up out of fear of damage. This seems to me just to merely be rather standard “negotiation”. Both parties still have options and can limit damage, presumably. This isn’t “chicken”.

As someone who dislikes the jingoism of national sports (in particular the jingoism of my own country with regards to sports) and considering some of the especially lamentable characters who played for or play for our country, seeing the USMNT in the trash heap is rather satisfying.

Sam Bennett cross checks Draisaitl in the back of the head and no call. He tries to injure someone every game. Wish he’d get what he deserves.

The Zubi “noise” comes off as “transfer windows abhor a vacuum” stuff. At the same time normal supporter PTSD means it occupies a tiny, but annoying, corner of the psyche.

“Winger keen to join CFC” is a bit of a tell that the player or their agents are just trying to lock in future earnings and have not thought much about career trajectory.
