Arsenal fans should take it from Leicester City fans - it can get much worse than it is for you right now. Yes, the Gunners appear to have missed out on signing Leicester City's precious talent Jeremy Monga, leaving cetain members of the Emirates faithful in a state of utter, fragmented despair.
Cant sugarcoat it, thats really bad from us. Had the player fully sold on the pathway. Made an initial and expected lower bid and expected Leicester to fold and not go to a tribunal because we wanted a fair price. Everyone involved expected it to get done. Enzo knows Monga / City…

Monga's ascent at Seagrave (the impressive LCFC Training Ground that currently does not suit their standing) and the King Power was nothing short of meteoric. A rise so rapid The Athletic famously reported that elite scouts from the world's biggest clubs would arrive for fixtures only to depart immediately if the young prodigy was not in the Foxes youth starting lineups.
Identify a target, work months on end to secure it, only to get gazumped at the last minute by a rival club.

Reminds me of the good ol' days of Big Wengz.
A Premier League debut at fifteen underscored this burgeoning reputation, and throughout the subsequent EFL Championship campaign, Monga shattered age-related records to become the East Midlands outfit's, and the division's, youngest-ever scorer.
Not good..

Spurs have signed Fernandes and Tonali already inflating the market more and now this..
It is precisely this profile (a blend of raw, English-born talent and refined technical output) that caught the ravenous attention of Manchester City, Arsenal and the continental giants, Paris Saint-Germain and reportedly Real Madrid, who monitor such trajectories with predatory-like intensity.
I’ve been incredibly patient with the club this summer but as of right now I’m extremely disappointed and infuriated with the club.

We were all briefed that Arsenal would make major waves and “not rest on our success” when the season finished but it’s the first week of JULY and…
The situation surrounding the youngster's contract was a masterstroke of financial prudence for Leicester - for once! By navigating the pre-professional window with precision, they ensured the organisation held immense leverage over any prospective buyer, a rarity in their recent history.
Leicester City get their price - Arsenal fans vent
However, the Gunners' seemingly parsimonious approach to negotiating for prospects now stands as a shameful indictment for some of their support. Indeed, those souls believe that their beloved AFC have seemingly forfeited a potentially generational talent to their closest rivals in the Citizens due to a fatal lack of foresight and misplaced frugality.
Incredibly patient with the club this summer but disappointed and infuriated a couple weeks into the window🤣🤣 shut up honestly

Trusted journalists such as Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein have provided the final, stinging confirmation. Detailing how an agreement in the region of £10 million is now firmly in place for a move to the Etihad; Manchester City, now driven by former LCFC boss Enzo Maresca, have definitely hijacked this one!
The only thing embarrassing is your tweet!! What a load of shit!! Yor crying over a 16yr old who I bet you’ve never watch play!! And we didn’t fumble it, we weren’t going to be held to ransom and pay the largest transfer fee for a 16year old! Except for Gordon, who else has moved

Whether Arsenal supporters are in a genuine meltdown or merely putting on a brave face, the online discourse has devolved into a chaotic display of infighting, with factions bitterly debating who exactly is to blame for the missed opportunity. It is, by all accounts, a genuine popcorn moment for the impartial observer, witnessing a fairly lively and occasionally entitled fan base so thoroughly undone by their own boardroom's hesitation, in spite of being Premier League champions.
You surely can't be losing ur shit over a 16yo 🤣 are you?
