I've decided to rename every competition we're in and add FA in front of it because we never lose.

The FA Premier League
The FA Europa League
The FA Carabao Coca Cola Carling Cup
The FA Cup
The FA Community Shield

Rewatching the pens. The absolute ice by AMN and Nelson was greatness

Sounds like Sokratis to Napoli is close. ~5m

Have to think that its a loan with a purchase next summer if we've convinced Madrid to not sell him now.

I would hope so. Don't wanna have to negotiate later if/when he has a strong season for us. If we can add one more strong CM we will have a good 3 man rotation that can get us through EPL. Then you can keep El Neny around or find another youngster to run with Willock/AMN for FA Cup, etc...

At 10 Arsenal are streaming something with David Luiz, Willian and a "special guest" with a Brazilian flag being used so lots of smoke that Arsenal are finally announcing Gabriel

Well this looks official. If nothing else I will give them creativity points for how to announce this in these strange days

Gabriel is listed on Arsenal.com. Looks like he is taking the #6 jersey.

My only concern would be lack of depth at FB/WB and another HG player being sold.

Ornstein saying that we would make AMN the RB/RWB starter and use the cash for MF upgrades.

Makes sense and Cedric has been serviceable as a backup/rotation player

I don't have any issue with AMN/Cedric on the right. My concern would be the lack of depth on the left with Kola being borderline worthless and looking to leave as well. I'd really prefer to see Saka stay at wing.

Other notes from Ornstein...

- Real waiving loan fee on Dani in exchange we will pay 100% of his salary
- Arsenal are still interested in Partey
- Arsenal are engaging in discussion regarding Aouar

One more thing... saw yesterday that a Saudi club have offered Ozil 15m to play for them this season. 15m happens to be exactly what is left on the remainder of his contract with Arsenal. If he is willing to accept the deal, we would likely jointly agree to terminate his contract and he would join the Saudi club on a free transfer.

I feel like 25m is too low for Bellerin tbh. Especially if the rumors of Juventus and Bayern are true, I'd like a bidding war to occur. On the other side, if PSG, Bayern and Juventus are wanting Bellerin, why would we sell that type of talent.

If the Bellerin they remembers how to cross comes back then I'd love to keep him, but he wasn't anything special last season

for comparisons sake


We've not been formally linked to Sangare but he did appear in the Sensible Transfers episode back in Jan as the suggested primary target for Arsenal's MF.

I think what Arsenal's twitter is trying to say is Dani Ceballos is officially back.

Things could change as we still have over a month in the window but given our current business as well as the rumored outgoing players (loan or sale) I have a feeling that we see...

- Sokratis sold
- El Neny stay to provide depth
- Lucas loaned to an Italian with an obligation to buy
- Duezy loaned to Valencia with no option
- Holding loaned to an EPL squad with no option
- Lacazette stays
- Bellerin stays
- AMN stays
- Mustafi stays and he and Luiz leave as free agents next summer
- Martinez & Leno both stay and battle for #1. The loser is sold next summer
- We add one more DM/CM type

Starting lineup...

--------------- Laca -----------------
PEA ------- Willian -------- Pepe
- 2 of Xhaka / Dani / New Guy -
Tierney -- Gabi - Luiz -- Bellerin
------------- Leno / Emi ------------

or

-- PEA ------- Laca -------- Pepe / Willian --
Tierney - 2 of Xhaka / Dani / NG - Bellerin
--------- Gabi --- Luiz --- Saliba --------
---------------- Leno / Emi ----------------

Saka or Nketiah are the first FW off the bench when rotation is needed
AMN is the first FB / WB off the bench and also sees time in MF
Luiz loses his starting spot before Xmas

We, of course, drew Leicester City in the League Cup.

I guess we can get Leicester or the whole competition out of the way, early.
