I'm sorry but how has it taken 30 days to bid for a player in the same league... all smoke and mirrors Big C, I dont believe this manager or board ever tried to sign a player. Why are Villa going to say yes then have to somehow get a striker in 1 day, this manager and board are mugging us off
Once again this club has engineered the perfect Hype window. Lots of exciting links, no actual movement. If we'd been working on Watkins since September, its hard to believe we couldn't be closer to a move.

I know a lot of people get on to Ben but he comes on, gives some context on deals and keeps it pushing. I respect it, it’s a shame it’s never a bombshell but I like that he keeps things honest.
Agreed. I don't get how people are saying he is waffling ... he is explaining things in detail and providing his answers to the questions. If he just came on only gave one word answers the video would be over in 90 seconds lol (even though he answered the first one straight up by saying 'no chance' to Watkins. What more do people want??
@@MadDogBonz the video might as have well been 90 seconds long, it was entirely waffle and about things we already knew (or could have researched ourselves online). Not a challenge to get
No wonder he hasn’t won shit in 5 years. Last time he won anything was with a striker. Same with all the other winners out there, they all have a striker 🤔
All the transfer gurus in the comments that have nil knowledge of transfers stating Ben's interview was useless 🤦🏿♂️ Feels like a class with students that have gotten good information but feels the information is garbage because they did not hear what they want. And still leave the class with the wrong conclusion 🤷🏿♂️ 🤦🏿♂️ #Denial #Delusional
The Arsenal is closer to signing Curtis Shaw than anyone else in this cursed window..... We don't want Sesko OR Watkins. Neither are the answer. The ambition of this club is in question..... Again.
It’s simple if Arsenal want to win some silverware this season they need to abandon their old plans & make new ones! Get a striker! A goal hungry striker! We’ve had enough of their excuses because they should of got summer transfers right & not the bag of crap they bought!
And refs and opposition players. Look at that first goal against Bruge 😂😂😂. Defender runs out way and keeper kneels then dives lol. Second looked a bit dodgy too.
Ben Jacobs is definitely the master of saying words beautifully without nothing happening on Arsenal’s side!!! This was a PR stunt from the beginning by the club yesterday… I’m more and more convinced that this club won’t get any striker in this window even though Gyokores, Oshmien and Gimenez are all available via release clauses… but this club will more than likely get a Marcus Rashford or Igor Jesus as a deadline deal…
Why can't Arsenal go for attainable players like Osimen, Gyokeres, Sesko instead of chasing empty space. Is another way of looking an excuse to deflect fans that arsenal tried and failed? Unbelievable to start rushing negotiable late in the window. It's clear there is no player that's coming to arsenal. That's the original plan.
Great video. Thanks Ben for giving some insight to how the deals work behind the scenes and how the media blow it out of proportion and usually try and make Arsenal look bad!
Curtis as a longtime supporter of your channel, this sort of fluff content, is not what you reflect and what the vast majority of your subscribers are attracted to. These guys know nothing really, waffle, spin and basically bullshit. Did you need Ben Jacobs to come on and say “no chance”?
It's really difficult to do a decent deal in January, with soo many clubs still playing UCL, UEL games in January. The new format of the European competitions makes this January incredibly difficult. Nobody has really made any moves this window. City have been active yes, but nobody else really. Would be interesting to see what happens in the last couple days now that the group stages are rounding up
@AFChase You don't have to be upset. But no, I am not. I believe they should definitely do some business in attack this window, lest they lose what the season may have been. I'm just appreciative of the extra layer of complexity that Jan windows will have with European competition still up in the air for so many teams. Even if they had bid for Watkins on January 1, why would Villa have sold with 2 UCL games still to play in the group phase and a chance to go through? You'd agree that it has been a very slow market thus far.
Arsenal playing the game to get us talking building ever Gunners hopes up to get no 1 in transfer window or some 1 that no 1 knows that will keep bench warm with all other shit players we have
Watkins? is 29yrs olddddddddddd and your gonna spend $60+ million? will watkins win us the title this year-impossible!! will watkin win us the title next year? he misses more than he scores THAT IS A FACT! -we are just gonna hold onto an old inconsistent player that we cant get rid off. SOOOOOOOO ANNOYED!!!
Arsenal needs to come out to the fans stop feeding us lies about transfers the manager has wasted hundreds of millions on signings and only selling them for less then half and only to have a bench for a Vauxhall Conference side embarrassing for a club like Arsenal
60 million for Watkins is a fair offer from Arsenal, but still i dont want him. If it is written in the stars for Arsenal to win the league they will win it this season i am not worried at all. My advice to Arsenal is if we cannot get a quality striker now get someone on loan until summer. We must spend our money on quality players and as we say in Barbados quality takes time so lets work on continuous improvement. Put Edwards from the under 21 team on the bench and bring him on with 10 minutes remaining.
Jacobs has mastered the art of saying things in the most eloquent way possible while saying absolutely nothing
😂 nah, why u had to do Ben like that 😂😂😂

we've seen this PR stunt, every transfer window since the Kroenkes took over the club.
Until Kronke’s leave we won’t win!!!
Transfer Window Closed Arteta will say we didn’t see anyone who was available who would make us better we will use what we have got.😂
You already know he’ll say something like that
Summery: We ain't signing anyone.
Nope..
Trust arsenal to bid on someone that isnt available so they can say they wanted to spend big money without spending it

Arsenal know how to mess things up. This is pretty clear and that price of 60million ? Seems AFC is searching for excuses, not strikers.

Now makes more sense why no one going for Gykores
Waffle settings from your guest with all due respect 👊🏾
What because he explains things well, right.
Let’s get Delap
Duran was unsettled at Villa - emery couldn't control him anymore and Villa was getting a huge payday - great business. Duran is not a proven starter
1 minute 38 seconds into the video
Can Arsenal sign Watkins?
No chance
Arteta doesn't want a striker he's proved that over the last 5 years. He only sells strikers.
No wonder he hasn’t won shit in 5 years. Last time he won anything was with a striker. Same with all the other winners out there, they all have a striker 🤔
Journalists just talk out of their arse's.
Lee Gunner is right again.
He literally said nothing here. . Wtf 😂
Arsenal knew Watkins was unavailable they just done it the please the fans after the window when we sign nobody can say well we tried
Absolutely no fan is pleased by this. Terrible PR on the clubs part.
