Theo Walcott retires.
I'd heard he was going to Reading before but recently came to know they're not even paying wages to all their players. The two are probably connected.

Reading are well and truly fucked, yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if they get relegated again.
✌🏽😁✊🏽 ← never forget that moment. Enjoy retirement Theo!!!
Apparently we played Luton behind closed doors today. Fuck knows why. Maybe to get used to midweeks? Feels pretty yikes though given Arteta literally just said there's too many games.
Luton has a bye week and probably third choice player training for us
We're working on a contract for Ødegaard. Good.
Olise turned down Chelsea. Chad move.
Apparently Tottenham have some interest in Gift Orban. What a wild career trajectory he's had.
I thought man wanted to win something 😂
Probably another stepping stone lol
Felix apparently is looking like a termination of contract with Atlético Madrid
If he's free we surely have to go for him.
@Astrealix why?
Why the termination or why we should go for him? I think it'd be an absurdly good opportunity to get someone who can raise our level if he's available for free
@Astrealix why get him? Serious question. If free he’d be on huge wages and for a player that Chelsea, athletico and apparently no one else really wants? I don’t see it.
Wages would be a concern, yeah. But if we could get him as backup for Saka I think we'd be in a better position as a squad — and given the links to him previously I think there's something Arteta definitely sees in him.
I don't think he was that impactful during his stint at Chelski to warrant us splurging on his salary
I mean, yeah at current levels absolutely not; but given there's only two weeks left of the window, I'm assuming he'll drop his demands.
There's always Saudis or the US lmao
