There is rumor that this is our "secret wing target"...



If we snag him and ESR truly gets time at 8/10 this season, I could see us keeping Nelson for a season while we allow Gakpo some time to acclimate to the league.

Arsenal store shows Zinchenko as #35 (I'm guessing this is a placeholder and/or 1 yr number until something better opens up) and more importantly, Torreira's name has been removed entirely. Are the rumors of him leaving the US for Italy true and he was headed out to meet with a new club? Could he move to a new club that quickly with no media leaks at all?

That tells me that either Zinchenko is gonna be a LB for us or we are gonna add another guy that can play LB as well.

Didn't Zinchenko normally play LB for City?
chjoak

He played LB for City but he played CM for his prior clubs and plays CM for Ukraine. There was some debate in various places about whether he would be a LB or LCM for us. If Nuno is moved I would think that would be a pretty strong indicator unless of course we ended up buying another player that could play LB. My guess is that he will be deployed as an inverted LB which would free up the LCM to be more offensively oriented.

Perhaps he starts at CM and is the LB backup for whenever Tierney inevitably gets hurt?

Arteta said in an interview his main position I LB

Yeah, hadn't seen that until you posted about it.

How we feeling about today's match? Our first serious test to guage where we stand headed into the season. Looking at our lineup I'm interested to see how much more threatening we are on attack.

COYG! Should be an entertaining match!

Agreed, I like the lineup. Love White at RB instead of Cedric when Tomi is injured. I'd just like to swap Xhaka for ESR/Vieira/Tielemans and probably Sambi.

Goal. Jesus! First 15 minutes did not disappoint!

What's the deal with Tierney? Not cleared from his knee yet?
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Both he and Tomi have soft tissue issues. Don't know exact details. Don't expect either to take a really long time but both players have had enough issues to make me a bit skeptical.

Feel like we've played pretty well. Feel like Saka should've squared it back to Martinelli on that break. Feel like Xhaka has been pretty bad, hopefully we have Tielemans or someone else playing there soon.

Nice finish Odegaard! 2 nil!

If Tomi & KT can't get their injury issue under control I'm thinking Zinch - Gabi - Saliba - White may be our starting defense of the future. If that happens, I'm guessing KT is moved next summer, Tomi sticks around atleast for another year as a defensive super-sub and we will be looking to add/promote a CB (ideally young & HG) and possibly a LB (dependent on Nuno's loan)

Tomi is so freaking good for us. Let's hope he bounces back quickly.

Not watching but did Chelsea start most of their starters? I'm so excited about Jesus and a striker that can actually finish chances

Good half! No complaints here. First chance to see Jesus and Saliba this preseason. Very solid!

Not an expert on Chelsea but appears to have fielded a solid lineup.

I hope Tomi can get and stay healthy. White is versatile and I'd prefer over Cedric but still think he's a better CB and we need 3 good ones anyway.

Sweet sorta team goal! Top bin! Saka!

Sambi header makes it 4 nil concluding a very nice visit to the states!

Even though Saka was marginally offside, that third goal facilitated by Xhaka was awesome.

Also, Jesus' quality finish on his goal was exactly what we've been missing. Strong chance that Auba or Laca would've bottled that

Why did ESR not travel, hurt?

How about that shot by Xhaka that led to Saka's goal?

Yeah that's what I was talking about. Saka was an inch offside and it wasn't called thankfully but Xhaka's nifty volley and shot was incredible.

Kinda neat that someone who has played at Ellis Field against the Aggies is now gonna be playing for Arsenal Women. Ags beat her 2/3 times they played her

Looks like Leno is gonna be headed to Fulham for 8m

Not a bad fee, especially given our past.
