Lacazette should have buried that one into the back of the net.

Laca knew absolutely nothing about that ball.

I lied. He definitely shifts

Anyone feel like Wenger never left because that is what this match has been.

2nd half...

Duzy still looks like a badass

El Neny finally getting into the game a looking decent

Sokratis/Mustafi seem to be settling in a bit

Ozil starting to show up... almost right after being moved to the #10 spot

Iwobi looks like he has gained some confidence at the WC. Just needs to work on his shot.

Chambers hasn't been challenged but he has looked pretty good at RB. Still think he is a good enough passer to play at the #6. Not sure he ever really gets the chance now with how good Duzy looks though.

Bellerin had an absolute shocker of a game, especially dealing with that young Chelsea speedster. That hair must be slowing him down a bit.

Is it happening?

Pretty sure its just because he is still on vacation and is best buds with Auba.

Kola might be out 8-10 weeks with a knee problem. Ramsey presumably in training next week.

Looking forward to seeing Torreira and Lichsteiner tomorrow

Espnfc is reporting arsenal have interest in Vida (Croatian cb). Would be a great add to the team but someone would probably have to leave.

Personally don't believe we are interested in Vida however been runors the last 2 days that someone inquired about Mustafi and we put a 22.5m GBP price on his head.

So do we have any clue what are best starting 11 is at this point?

Not really. Back line needs time to gel and who knows what Emery is gonna through out there in the midfield.

This looks like a straight 4-4-2 to me.

Based on the group I'd probably suggest 4-2-2-2. Similar to his 4-2-3-1 but push the #10 up into the forward position.

I think they're going to move and fall back into different shapes as they come in and out of their pressing.

Rumor out that Chelsea are gonna bid 35m for Rambo. He is my favorite player on the team right now and I'll be crushed if he leaves. I'd rather lose him on a free next year than sell him to Chelsea. We are directly competing with them for a top 4 spot and 35m isn't enough money for us to buy a replacement of his caliber. He is worth more to us in terms of competing for CL than the 35m.

Also revealed that Monreal is injured, so it looks like AMN will be starting at LB against City. Won't be shocked if Duzy starts either because Xhaka did not look good today.

Chambers is scheduled for medical with Fulham for a season long loan. Not a horrible move. Would like to see him get some minutes with us but Fulham is desperate for DF. Good chance he starts for them all season.

Rumor that we are after Rico Rodriguez for LB cover given the news that both Nacho & Kola are injured and at least Kola is likely out at least 1.5-2 mths. If we get him I could see Nacho being moved in Jan.

Chambers is almost 100% going to Fulham. Still rumors out there about going after Vida. Welbeck has been told he won't get much action and is allowed to leave. Apparently we may now be selling Perez to West Ham for 3m because we cannot sell players for anything while Liverpool somehow manages to get Danny Ings sold for ****ing 20m

3m seems really low but in all fairness he will be 29 in a month, hasn't done anything in 2 yrs, is not HG and is on a reasonably high salary. From what I read, the salary is what killed deals to 2 different Italian and 1 French club.

Would really like to see us finish up this window with...

  • Ramsey signed
  • find a reasonably priced LB that can play immediately (Rico, Shaw, Bernat, Bertrand, Tierney???) and possibly push Kola to a CB role (think it may be best long term option)
  • loan Dembele with an option to buy in Jan or next summer

I think what we are seeing is Arsenal trying to clear the wage bill and get rid of deadwood players that make too much. Unfortunately, we have to sell low because these players have huge wage demands now.

Yep. On one of the other Arsenal MBs I visit they are referring to it as the Wumger Tax.

Also hearing that Welbeck has been told he likely won't see the field much and is free to seek another team. Sounds like we may be going with a good number of young guys to make up out HG numbers.

Rumored to be asking 20-25m GBP for Welbeck. Must be trying to fund another move. Rico Rodriguez smoke is heating up as well.

What I am hearing this morning...

- Perez to West Ham agreed

- 2-3 PL teams interested in Welbeck

- Rico smoke continues but other sources are saying Emery is content starting the season with AMN at LB until Kola is ready

- Ramsey will be sold by EOW if he doesn't sign an extension

- Arsenal offered a player plus cash deal to Besiktas for Vida. The players that Besiktas could pick from were Ospina, Welbeck & Mustafi. Besiktas appears to have the greatest interest in Ospina.

- Barca wants Pogba. ManU is willing to let him go. Barca wants to clear 1-2 players in order to fund/open salary for Pogba. Dembele is one of the players considered expendable. Barca has placed a 100m Euro pricetag on him. Arsenal are trying to get Dembele with a loan to buy deal... 10m Euro now as a loan fee, 90m Euro next summer to finalize the deal.
