Welcome to Arsenal, Alexis!

Can OddMorsel put it in the OT too? :)

He's rubbish anyway. Won't succeed at Arsenal. 😒

Congrats on the signing. Can we have Ox to replace Townsend pls?

That's Jenkinson out on loan then.

Or Bellerin?

Interesting if true, is the guy any good?

@Scum, sorry m8, he's joining SOTON on loan ;)

Conte should give a big fuck you to the league and get the team to stay for a long run in the CL. Let Roma win the league.

Arsenal still needs to work on some things, even though Sanchez is one hell of an improvement, statitics are speaking a clear language.

Goals :

Chelsea 71:27
Arsenal 68:41
Liverpool 101:50
City 102:37


A better defense and offense is necessary.
Just take a look at United stats 64:43, they're not so far off.

Oof, that kid is only 20? That'll be tough on Jenko.

17 of those goals came from 3 games. Assume we don't lose our heads and instead we give up 2 in each. That means we concede 30 last season. For 90% of the season we were great defensively.

Our overall play needs to improve in the big games. I know that is cherry picking stats and all teams can do that.

As for scoring goals and offense, we just signed Alexis Sanchez....

Marry did good with Iturbe. Yeah, at 27M€ we're overpaying him, however he'll sign a 5-year contract and will only be on 1.5M€/year salary.

This is never going to happen, sadly.

Pogba better delete his 'Juve dream' tweet

:( We had a good run, Yurt-chan. A good run.

Hence why we need a more mobile midfielder next to Ramsey.

We went from signing Chamakh (on a free) and Gervinho to Ozil and Sanchez. 2 years ago Cazorla was our best player, now he's not even in the top 5. That's progress.
 
Great signing for Arsenal.

Pogba to Chelsea is also sublime business.

And we're about to lose Suarez.

Good thing I'm going straight to the pub from work.

Things were supposed to get better after last season :(

Our business just stinks of depth that will still leave us with a far inferior team to one with Suarez in it. Need a big fuckoff signing to make us excited for next season rather than fucking petrified, because that's what I am at the moment.


Hopefully this 'list of targets in the event of Suarez's sale' comes to fruition. It fucking better had.

Ryan Bertrand, for fuck's sake. Ryan. Fucking. Bertrand. What the fuck kind of message does that send about our ambition.

Arsenal fans know this all too well.

Money and CL doesn't guarantee players will want to come.

Absolutely class signing from Arsenal. Sanchez is someone I wanted when he left Udinese and he's someone I wanted when he was leaving Barca. Dynamite business from Wenger, although he has to address deficiencies elsewhere too. Plenty of time to do so.

I really hope Jenkinson isn't sold. I know he's not the best RB in the world, but he probably loves the club more than any other player there and I'd absolutely hate to see him forced out.
 
‏@GuillemBalague
As well as Debuchy, AFC about to finalise a loan deal for Manquillo. Both for the right back position. Not huge names but clever picks

Jenks is gone lads

Oh. Iturbe signed? Cool. How about Veratti?? Shame to think Conte might not relinquish the league. Just finish 2nd or 3rd.

If AFC wrap up deals with Alexis Sanchez & Debuchy, & get Khedira, which I hear is possible, they could well win the title.

You can have Dawson, Lennon and Townsend in exchange for Sterling.

Wenger probably told Ozil when he signed he would try and bring his bff to the Emirates.
