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

I'm thinking he is for when Kocielny is eventually done. Probably to pair with Chambers or Gabriel. I am hoping they still haven't stopped looking for a more proven CB.

Same. I want to see someone else come in right now and start with Kos, or at least push Per. They don't have to be young, as you said they just need to be proven.

2016-17 Arsenal away kit or Cal's 2007 football uniform? You decide!



And third kit:



Obviously neither are confirmed yet.

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

I actually like the away kit. I dislike the third kit.

In terms of away kits, I don't think anything will ever beat this for me:

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

Don't really like either. The most recent away kits are my favorite.

Oh lord, here we go again. Now Mahrez is linked to us. This stinks of, "hey Leicester give me a better contract and I'll stay". Really hope we shoot this rumor down

"We will spend the big money."

Keep the faith guys - it's not deadline day yet lol.

Also, spending the big money apparently means lowballing clubs for players ie. Lyon and Lacazette

I know it's fun to poke at since it's Arsenal, but if every club's initial bids or negotiations were made public, I think people would realize it's ordinary. At least we're bidding.

We'll definitely sign a CB now. The real question to me is whether or not Per even gets his spot back in the starting eleven.

If a CB is brought in who can start, possibly not. If a CB is brought in but Gabriel starts, he could play well enough to keep Per on the bench.

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

I know. I was poking fun that's all. A CB is much needed now. If the new CB is a quality one I don't see Per getting his spot back. He's too slow now

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

Think this guy has Arsenal's transfer philosophy figured out

Mathieu Riesling
This is how Arsenal work in the transfer market: "Does he have good hair? " That's why we didn't get Higuaìn his hair wasn't nice enough can't take proper selfies.

I know it's only a friendly but I thought Rob Holding looked pretty solid in defense last night. Good on the ball and didn't panic.

Even he only turns into solid cover for us I'll consider it a great buy.

Lots of rumbles about us trying to grab Mustafi from Valencia as they need the money. Would love to have another Cazorla situation—great player at a great price due to a club desperately needing money.

Also, Arsene said yesterday that we still want to add a striker and a defender. If we do that (and they're top top quality), I'll be happy with our window.

Just some quick takeaways:

Debuchy looked real, real bad. Amazing how fast his career turned after the injury.

Joel had a stretch of 15-20 solid minutes and then looked gassed the rest of the game and kept losing possession.

Wilshere escaped the game healthy so that's a positive.

Xhaka looked good in his limited action.

Ox looked pretty dangerous which was nice to see after the way he ended last season.

Cech, nacho and Hector looked like themselves.

Holding didn't really have to do much so not sure yet what to think.

Bielik looked good up until the awful turnover that led to the Drogba goal.

EDIT: Forgot to touch on Theo. He continued to make great runs, as usual, but once again showed why he should not be playing striker.

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

I'm not buying yet into the hype, but Ox looks like he's primed for a breakout. I'm really hoping he stays consistent and plays well. If that happens, then I think we will be in great shape.

Icardi as a plan B? I'm cool with that too
