Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

Yeah, if you've put on a few lbs like I've done it's gonna be a little rough. even the ones for fans are tighter than the Nike ones were. The material a PUMA uses is real nice however and they not as "heavy" as the nike ones.

I'm rocking a Koscileny and I'll maybe grab a Zelalem kit too for Christmas.

I was a L in the Nike ones so I'll likely stick with that for the season. My budget for kits will be:

Home - Sanchez, Away - Ozil, Third - Ramsey

Manolas as our CB signing is starting to look likely. I don't know a damn thing about him, but he seems promising, and like he's a great backup for now. I'd be happy with him, Kos, Per, and Chambers.

We're also still looking at the DM position. Fingers crossed.

Just watched some of Manolas's highlights. He is pretty quick for his size and he can jump. I wish there was more to watch of him.

He was a straight up monster in the Ivory Coast game at the World Cup and is a beast in the air. Totally shut down Drogba and Bony in that match. If it happens, it's a very solid signing for us. Now all together fellow Gooners: "sign a DM, sign a DM, sign a DM!!"

Sky Sports Graeme Bailey just tweeted that Manolas was in London to meet with Arsenal. I really hope this is true, though I'm surprised Manolas would want to leave Olympiakos to be 4th choice at Arsenal.

Also, Kos made the trip, so it looks like he will play. Which is good, because Per did not make the trip and we all know how thin we are at CB.

I think he'd actually be 3rd choice, and hell, maybe he ends up challenge Per for certain matches. I think if he comes, he's 3rd choice, which puts less pressure on Chambers. And perhaps lets Chambers play in the DM role occasionally?

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

Get Manolas done and if we can advance into CL group stage, I think we make a big signing that could be a DM or it could be a striker.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

BFG is getting up there in age too, so Manolas might be #3 or #4 for a couple seasons or so. He might pair well with either Per or Kos too and be able to rotate often.

Exactly, chambers will be used mostly for cup matches at CB and we'll use Bellerin for RB in those ties. Chambers for now will be the back up RB where he was intended for. I hope to god Jenko tears it up at West Ham cause it's gonna be rough to get a game at RB the next few seasons...

Why does Arsene insist on playing Cazorla on the wing? He's too slow. Ox or Campbell would offer more IMO.

He has a good work rate and defends pretty well, he isn't fast but he is very capable on the wing. That being said he is better when playing through the middle.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

That was extremely frustrating to watch. We're still the favorites with the second leg at home, but out offense looked so anemic. And I don't understand why Wenger didn't put in Campbell when we clearly could have used his attacking prowess.

Also, the second yellow on Ramsey was harsh, but Aaron shouldn't have grabbed the shirt like that, right in front of the ref.

Ugh.

Plus Arteta got hurt....

Buy a damn DM Arsene

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

We're never going to win the league like this. We need a new DM, a backup CB and a new CF seeing Wenger is reluctant to play Campbell anywhere, let alone as CF. If we play like this against any top 6 team we're going to get wrecked.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

On on promising note, from everything I read, it seems that Chambers once again looked pretty good, if not great. Seems like a damn good signing.
