Did you think, Jonathan, that the way the game went kind of defied the nerves a little bit?

Like, were you surprised by the, I'm going to call it bravery of Arsenal's approach?

Yeah, it definitely would have been a different game.

The Junkers thing is sort of a detail, but it is an interesting one, really, isn't it?

He should leave the club this summer, shouldn't he?

I mean, this is the truth about him.

This is the truth.

This is what your manager actually thinks in the most important game.

Well, maybe there is an agreement to be reached there.

But from Jokers' point of view, it's like these guys don't count on me.

When the chips were down, I was not called upon.

Yeah, although clubs can always find reasons not to sign players.

And I don't know if the reasons precede the decision or sometimes are invented after the decision.

But a player who I believe a couple of clubs looked at, including Arsenal, looked at and thought, meh.

not sure about this guy, is Ryan Cherky, who, well, I mean, who better than Diego Torres to talk about transfers that never happened?

During the 2024-25 season, the Lyon midfielder showed two things, a class worthy of Maradona and a tendency to emotional imbalance typical of Balotelli.

He consumed matches between implausible feats and states of frustration that disconnected him from his teammates.

His vanity inspired so much distrust among the technicians.

Then when the summer of 2025 arrived, the English clubs backed out.

So City got him for 35 million, Jamie.
