What a thoroughly fabulous day.
I rolled out at 0930 to meet James who writes the blog sometimes, couldn’t get into the bar of choice because it was too busy… which really fucked me off. We jumped in a taxi, hit up O’Hanolons and watched England TROUNCE Sweden in a very effective 2-0 victory.
A few things stood out again, and I hate to say it… but Trippier really is an excellent right back. He’s strong, mobile, very composed and his final ball is exceptional whether that’s coming in from out wide in open play, or from dead balls. He’s such a good player. Harry Mcguire is also excellent, if he were a foreign defender, we’d pur over his ability to distribute from the back, surely a big move lined up for him? Also, what is it with the north and producing top talent? Our whole backline has risen up from weaker clubs. It’s great to see. The south needs to sort itself out, the softies.
I’ve also got to wind-in my criticisms of Jordan Pickford. I have Richard Wright issues, and I thought his performances at Sunderland were kind of standard because anyone can look good playing for a shite team. The real talent is being able to make those world class saves when you only have 3 things to deal with in a game. Yesterday, he was man of the match for me. He made some unbelievable saves. Outside his incredible athleticism, his ability to play with the ball at his feet is surprisingly impressive. He has a great range of passing and he certainly seems cut for the future of keeping.
Sweden wasn’t a tough test. They were a very organised midtable Premier League team. They blew it out of the park simply making it to the quarterfinals. So well done to them, but a bigger test awaits in the next round.
The Croatia / Russia game was also pretty damn exciting. The Russians put in a hearty performance, not really caving to the more impressive qualities of the Croats. That said, it was a pretty drab performance from the away team. I have yet to be blown away by Croatia, and if the performance they put on yesterday is anything to go by, I’m not overly worried about the semi-final.
Sure, we’re going to struggle with their midfield, but if we can bring high-intensity pressing and bypass them with salt of the earth long balls, we have every chance of causing them headaches on Wednesday.
I don’t really fear France or Belgium like I would a Spain or a Germany. I think we have every chance of winning the World Cup now, regardless of who we play. The winds seem to be favouring Belgium in the other match, and you’d have to have us down as favourites against Croatia. It’s going to be a massive game this week, but win or lose, the boys have overachieved in this tournament so far and Gareth Southgate deserves a lot of credit for putting on a show.
Back in England, it looks like Arsenal have signed Matteo Guendouzi (vid), the French under-20 plays as a number 4. He’s very quick, he looks pretty strong if the videos of him bulldozing players is anything to go by, and he seems pretty suited to a side that want to break quickly. His passing isn’t that ambitious, but he’s capable. He has dabbled box to box and has the skill the break the lines with his pace, so there’s a hint of Jack Wilshere in there too.
So we’ve not just signed one DM this window, we’ve probably signed two. Not bad considering we haven’t really dealt with that position since the summer of 2008 when we moved on Flamini, Gilberto and Diarra in one window.
If Ornstein’s tweet was anything to go by, that’ll be the last of our business this summer.
There are rumours that the captaincy is going to be part of Rambo’s new deal, Ivan G keen to be filmed shaking the Welshman’s hand last week. Our CEO really is making the most of this summer, and who can blame him, he’s finally winning.
Maybe it’s too tough for the club to move players on, as the manager hasn’t had a chance to coach them or see them in action? No word on Welbeck’s new deal. Though there are strong rumours linking Ospina with a move to Boca Juniors which sounds like a good deal for everyone.
Joel Campbell, a player we just can’t quit, is being linked with moves away to Fener (standard) and Lazio. We’re also mulling over the abilities of Lucas, a player I thought was pretty handy, and maybe deserved less of the cold shoulder.
Right, that’s me done. See you tomorrow you beautiful people. x
China
The reason we would have probably lost to Columbia with our so called golden generation was because their egos would have got the better of them.
Secondly, they were not as good as they thought they were.
Thirdly, they never had a manager who knew what he was doing with them.
Simple really.
So happy it’s Croatia and not Russia on Wednesday.
Playing against a better team will work in England’s favour.
The country needs this.
Bring it on!
Although Southgate is doing a great job as England manager, I feel the gushing praise for him from all sides is slightly false. If we go back a few days to the penalty shoot out v colombia, Henderson misses his penalty and we looked like we were going out until the colombian hit the bar. Things could have been so different and the level of abuse that would have come his way for wasting a golden opportunity to progress would have been immense. He got lucky… The colombian who hit the bar saved his and England’s skin. Because Southgate is… Read more »
“England can get past Croatia. I just can’t see England beating any of France or Belgium.”
I don’t think England could even get past Brazil. They will struggle against Uruguay as well. And if Croatia finally drops in a good performance….
I want to revert back to some of the negativity addressed to both Xhaka and Ozil from what should be elements in both Switzerland and Germany who have expressed nothing short of racist views on their respective performances. Xhaka responded to Meissner in a highly articulate way reminding him that most of the footballers who play for National Team and more importantly a sizeable chunk of Swiss population are immigrants. The second point he made was that when the players put on national shirt and play for country they are 100% committed to the cause. Ozil by contrast has chosen… Read more »

This Matteo Guendouzi kid should replace El neny immediately.
I know El neny is a a low wage squad filler, it’s just that he offers very little to the team besides being another warm body.
I know posters like “mystic keep praising him but he’s the epitome of average at a time when we need more.
Torreira looks like he is being built up to be Arsenal’s saviour in midfield. Sometimes when you watch a player you get a feeling that they are the real deal or have a nagging doubt about them. Looking back, when Vieira came into the side there were no doubts. When Fabregas started at a young age you just knew he was the real deal. Bergkamp, I knew was class, I had watched him in awe in his early days at Ajax and his qualities were evident from a very early age… Some of the goals Bergkamp scored in those days… Read more »

We English don’t give a toss as long as that ball hits the back of the net.
I hope Torriera settles into the club flawlessly The father was publicly quoted talking about the player (and his family’s) hesitation about the move because of the cultural shock. He’s ayoung man from a small town in Uruguay and doesn’t speak English. Sometimes we as fans have to remember the human stories behind transfers and be careful not to set expectations too high for new arrivals, especially foreign ones. Hopefully he’s the first of a new South American tradition at Arsenal. “”The truth is that we don’t want to think about that yet because we are getting frightened,” he said.… Read more »

Pierre
“Unless we get someone in to complement torreira style of play we may get exposed in the air..”
Not just in the air. The little fella cannot and should not be expected to plug all the gaps defensively in midfield. Too high an expectation.
Arsenal will continue to be exposed in defensive situations in midfield unless Emery really earns his corn and gets a real working defensive system off the ball out of the contingent in this area. “Nagging doubts” that even a system can resolve individual weakness in this area.
5-4. 4-3 to the Arse.
Pierre is yearning for Nonzi.
Not wrong.
But then we have fools celebrating the signing of a young squad player over a signing that would have been a first team starter.
Can you work it out? Me neither.
Welcome to Arsenal Torriera
I would like to think that England have a very good chance of reaching the final not least because Croatia had a very difficult match against Russia which was both energy and emotion sapping. Also several of their players were struggling physically at end of game and in case of the goalkeeper he looked like he had an injury. England’s midfield is rather average in contrast to Croatia, but I do think that we are better in other departments of the game. I agree that if we get to the final the odds of winning the Tournament are less than… Read more »
Biggest game for this country since 1990.
Don’t give a Castlmaine xxxx about anything Arsenal related this week.
Sorry fellow gooners.
“But then we have fools celebrating the signing of a young squad player over a signing that would have been a first team starter.”
9:42AM in the morning and you are already calling posters fools.
What is wrong with someone commenting on the signing of a prospect??
How many Arsenal games actually ended 5-3 or 5-4 last season??
No-one has the right to challenge the authenticity of their
commitment.The same should incidentally be the case when they play for Arsenal
Why’s that exactly?
Arsenal have had “defensive” aerial weakness whether at corners, set pieces or
at contra attack and that was patently obvious last season in particular.
Height is of course a factor, but not exclusive. There have always been small players with very good jumping ability. However, the overwhelming impression I got with our current crop of players particularly last season was their unwillingness or inability to compete in the air in midfield and defensive situations.
Surprisingly the exception to the rule was when we were on the attack and
took corners and set pieces. Arsenal had a very good record there.
“This Matteo Guendouzi kid should replace El neny immediately.”
Lol, Matteo plys his trade in League 2. I don’t think he is ready for EPL action right on the go.
Elneny on the other hand is a proven squad player.
Can we not have this over reaction.
Ishola
“But then we have fools celebrating the signing of a young squad player over a signing that would have been a first team starter.”
Signing a young player does not prevent the club from signing a first team starter. You’re simply an idiot of immeasurable proportions.
Arsenal need to be recruiting both mature and youth players.
Guendouzi will be I suspect in a similar situation as Maitland-Niles, Mavropanos, Nelson and Nkietah.
I would expect these players to be competing for places in domestic cup competitions and even possibly against weak opposition in Europa Cup. Otherwise I would expect them to be mainly bench players as well as supplement game
time in U23 league matches.
Mr Hairline You were not actually one of the fools that were celebrating the signing of a young squad player over a first team starter as far as I could see. There were others guilty of that. But yet again in your thirst to argue the toss you have got the wrong end of the stick again. No-one is saying that the signing of a young squad player in isolation is not be seen in a positive light. What some may have issue with is when this young squad player signing is celebrated over the signing of a first team… Read more »

Stroller can you answer the question why exactly not?
Chika refer to the above post.
There were poster(s) on here celebrating the signing of a young squad player over a first team starter signing.
Celebrating one signing over another.
You understand now? Good.
Heading ability in the mid is over rated.
I much prefer zippy DMs.
Yup, I don’t think we need a beast of a DM to pair with a midget of a DM, just so the beast can head all the balls.
If someone hits the ball long, it is probably a foot race. If it is to a tall burly striker, the defending is usually done by our CBs.
And you are the idiot for jumping in without even realising the actual point that was being put across.
Marko I would never challenge the “commitment” of Xhaka. He played more games and minutes than any other outfield player at club. If you want to criticise his performance that has to do with your view of his ability and not effort. Ozil is what he is an immensely gifted player, but in performance inconsistent. Frankly I don’t believe for one minute that when he plays for us that there is a lack of commitment and the same is the case when he plays for Germany. Some on here post that Ozil is a mercenary because of the huge wage… Read more »
If England win it will be a sad day for Arsenal fans because Spurs will have won the World Cup.
How ironic though that Harry Kane is more likely to lift the World Cup than the League Cup 😀
stroller
Regarding xhaka,playing a lot doesn’t equal commitment. Tracking your man into the penalty area instead of being a lazy tosser and standing still would show me commitment. That is the minimum required as a central mid. Maybe he didn’t know any better,or maybe Wenger told him not to go with his man. Or maybe he wasn’t commited enough…..
Frankly I don’t believe for one minute that when he plays for us that there is
a lack of commitment
First off we do have a right and secondly we can’t question the commitment of Özil? Were you living under a rock that good year plus where he kept refusing the contracts we were offering him and nearly ran it down. And have you seen him the last two years playing for us in games when we’ve needed him and not to mention the amount of “sick days” he’s had. But no we can’t question his commitment to Arsenal
PssimisticCat I have watched a lot of games that Xhaka has played and I see absolutely no lack of commitment or effort. There are an awful lot of statements made about his personality and performance level and that colours people’s judgment about him. He had an excellent game for Switzerland against Serbia and scored a wonderful goal in that match. Yet the whole debate since then has been how he and Shaquiri reacted with eagle hand sign. The whole focus in Germany about Ozil has been about his meeting with Erdogan and his perceived lack of loyalty. This has come… Read more »
How old are you exactly Ishola ??
You have a lot of maturing to do if you cannot communicate without insults. I mean you started with fools and in a bid to defend that ended with idiots
Even if the posters you referred to celebrated the youngster over Nzonzi how does that make them fools? So because they disagree with you they automatically become fools? And i an idiot because i disagreed with them being fools?
Wow
What other term could be used for someone that celebrates a young squad signing over a first team starter signing?
When we take into consideration the difference in influence and effect one would have over another in the here and now?
Fool is a light term to use in this instance.
You are the one that needs to grow up because yet again you look for argument for arguments sake.
Even when you misinterpret the original point that was being made you of course show no humility whatsoever in backtracking.
Expected from you.
Marko Please get real. There are plenty of footballers who are in similar situation to Ozil when negotiating contracts. That does not mean that they are disloyal or unwilling to make a commitment to club. Personally I do not believe for one minute that Ozil is more mercenary than lets say Ramsey. Both know their value. I would remind you that George Eastham went on strike for a year whilst at Newcastle United and challenged in court the wage structure at that time. Subsequently he joined Arsenal and no-one ever doubted his loyalty and commitment to the club or called… Read more »
Im with you in the sense that the international criticism does seem somewhat more to do with their immigration status than performance but that really has zero to do with my problem with xhaka.
He is lazy. Hence I question his commitment to his profession. Lazy in the sense that he doesn’t track runners. He will pull his socks up,sure. But track runners..
…. This is but a taste https://mobile.twitter.com/_tomclarke/status/958692543817965568
“Even when you misinterpret the original point that was being made you of course show no humility whatsoever in backtracking.” You wouldn’t know humility if it kicked you in the balls. The point you were making is not the issue here mid u. People are allowed to comment on signings or even celebrate it how they see fit. That does not make them fools. Everyone here knows i am all for the Nzonzi signing as i believe it takes our midfield to another level, i rate him very highly. I also do not see how that in anyway impacts the… Read more »
In my opinion anyone that celebrates the signing of Guendouzi over N’Zonzi is a fool and of the highest order. And I will state it on here and care not for your attempted policing of the blog.
Again you argue about something that has not been stated. No-one has said that the signing of Guendouzi means absolutely that the signing of N’zonzi is an impossibility. Unlikely to me now though.
Why do you keep arguing points that are not even stated? Do you have mental illness?
“Why do you keep arguing points that are not even stated? Do you have mental illness?”
Humility at its finest
Xhaka wasn’t tracking back in defence on a regular basis last season. As some people in here called him – deep lying playmaker, he was not sitting that “deep”, so when the opponents were counter attacking, he would just stroll back or even refuse to move and as a result we kept conceding easy goals. When I see him play I cannot stop thinking how in his mind, his main task on the pitch is to give cute quarterback passes. You know – a CF has to score goals, an AM to create chances + to score, a GK –… Read more »
Between the tone of my posts and yours only one person can be mistaken for someone with a mental issue Ishola
Your history on this blog alone shows some serious personality issues, ranging from obsession to aggressiveness. Not to mention paranoia.
Mr Hairline
I have told you before I have no interest in debating with a deranged individual like yourself.
You constantly argue points that are not even put forward for debate in the first place.
This is because you have an absolute mania to argue with certain posters which unfortunately contains myself. Mania = mental.
Now as I said to you before do yourself and me and the whole blog a big favour and do not respond to my posts.
It’s best for all concerned.
Thank you.
All the really shit players just so happened to be immigrants (Rudiger, Boateng, Gundogen, Khedira, Ozil)
Raptora I could see Emery playing next season with a “Diamond Formation” in midfield with two strikers up front. That would allow Torreira as DMF playing behind Ramsey and Xhaka in Central Midfield with Ozil in attacking midfield position. That would allow us to play two strikers up front with Aubameyang and Lacazette both playing in that formation. When you analyse Arsenal’s current resources and the lack of an established fleet footed winger that would be my preferred choice. We would then rely on Bellerin as wing back, but of course improving both in crossing department and tracking back defensively… Read more »
Yet, every single player you listed was born in Germany. Red your a prized idiot.
Red,
Muller was probably the worst of them but because he’s not an immigrant no one says anything about him. A nothing player if he doesn’t score. Which he didn’t.
ES
Raptora has already explained that Xjaka needs time on the ball and is susceptible to the press.
Do you really think it is a good idea to take him away from his deep position?
You are hanging Torreira out to dry basically with this thinking.
ES,
Well if they plan to stick to Xhaka as a starter, I hope they have a top notch plan. Jesus Christ, all the pain to make this certain player work in any “top” team. Holy moly.
How can people who are born in a country be immigrants, is it not their parent(s)? Most of the time I can scroll past the ramblings of that unfunny mug but not today.
Torreira and Guendouzi in. Good piece of business. Nzonzi in will make it a perfect window IMO though a winger will be appreciated.
“Michael24
So happy it’s Croatia and not Russia on Wednesday.Playing against a better team will work in England’s favour.”
Like Tunisia, Panama and Sweden or better teams like Belgium and Colombia who England failed to beat.
Ishola 70/ Raptora
Let us judge all our players performance level after they have trained and been coached by Emery.
The feedback I have had for a very long time is that the regime at Arsenal under Wenger was dreadful with no discipline or structure.
There were many players joining Arsenal who were highly rated by previous
clubs and yet underperformed once they came to us.
We have got a regime change with a new head coach who will make his own
judgments about the calibre of players in his squad.
Ishola “In my opinion anyone that celebrates the signing of Guendouzi over N’Zonzi is a fool and of the highest order. And I will state it on here and care not for your attempted policing of the blog” That’s bull shittery at its finest. You’re assuming that everyone is wanking off over Nzonzi You’re assuming that everyone thinks getting a 29 years old central midfielder with a release clause of £35 miliion is a good idea. You’re assuming that some don’t value Mlislintat-scouted prospect over a 30 year old who failed out at Blackburn and Stoke City. Calling every one… Read more »
If this kid, Matteo Guendouzi comes in, what does that mean for AMN who I thought would be the natural competitor to Torrereia? Elneny for that matter?
If it was up to me, I would send Elneny, out the door. Hard worker but very limited skills.
I’m happy with Guendouzi, this is what we brought in Mislintat for. A lot of our signings have been obvious ones like Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang and Sokratis. He has brought in one find in Mavropanos who looks like he good be special and given his track record I am happy to trust him on Guendouzi who only turned 19 in April and yet has pushed for a first team place at Lorient this season. That means we now have Guendouzi and Maitland Niles as young options in central midfield. What is great is that Wenger ignored the CDM position for years,… Read more »

You do like to be contrary and controversial in your statements on most football matters.
Three of your selection of immigrant players were in the starting lineup when
Germany won the World Cup in 2014 albeit that Khedira got injured before
final.
Do you judge France in the same way? Most of their players come from an
immigrant background including Mbappe.
Leeds
Maitland Niles might end up more CM than CDM from watching him, quite calm in possession and holds onto the ball well, doesn’t mind attacking either.
What would be good is either the academy producing or Mislintat finding a strong, young CAM now as well.
‘If it was up to me, I would send Elneny, out the door. Hard worker but very limited skills.’
I agree.
I also don’t like the attitude of a player who refuses a move because he’s happy on the bench earning what he does living in London.
Torreira, Xhaka, Ramsey, Maitland Niles, Guendouzi is a lot of midfield players. The only worry is age now, weird considering everyone was going on about it being too old if N’Zonzi was signed.
CA
No-one seems to discuss Reine-Adelaide a CMF who played in France last season and may also be considered for our midfield.
With new head coach there could also be other youngsters coming into consideration for place in First Team Squad.
ES,
I agree that a lot of players might raise their level now that Wenger is gone, and everyone will feel what competition for places is as well as a demanding atmosphere, but I don’t see players going from being average to being above par or top class. Sadly I don’t think Jeff has that much potential tbh.
Redtruth
You pretty much jumped over the line there with that anti-immigrant comment.
If you had any decency, you would recognize you were flat-out wrong on the facts and the merits of your comment. Like Trump though, I’ve never known you to apologize for saying something stupid, wrong or racist so I doubt it will happen any time soon.
“In my opinion anyone that celebrates the signing of Guendouzi over N’Zonzi is a fool ”

It’s not a topic of a football blog to be honest. And Red’s comment about shitty players being immigrants is not correct. But I agree to a level that if you are a first generation born in Germany or in any country that is not the motherland of your parents – like all the players he cited as far as I’m aware, it’s hard to think of yourself as an absolute 100% German (or whatever nation) you know.

This blog is turning into a complete farce.
Vicky of all people telling folks to grow up.
Farcical.
Vicky has turned Le Grove into a farce.
If Monreal is out as many reports say he is, I would like us to try to sign Ricardo Rodriguez… the Swiss left wingback/ left back. I’ve kept an eye on him since he was at Wolfsburg. Good age, experience and fantastic set piece specialist.
With Xhaka and Licjsteiner at the club he should settle in quickly too!
Squad numbers are not what they use to be, but giving Cech the No.1 shirt and Elneny the No.4 shirt is still annoying.
If there is to be a LB then Laxalt does not look a bad option after watching him at the World Cup.
Although I like Kolasinac, he is one of those player I want to see under Emery, started life at Arsenal very well as a lot of players do and then the malaise of Arsenal with Wenger gets to them.
Heard about the Nacho rumours. I would comment on it when it becomes official. I’m struggling to see a fellow Spaniard, main player and one that had a very solid season, sold in Emery’s first season. If it happens it would be mean that we are going the Chelsea way where managers have no say in who’s in and who’s out of the team.
CA agree,very annoying squad players taking up numbers of first team starters
Now Leno who will undisputedly be first choice keeper is taking no19 and Torreira is left with what exactly
CA,
Not Bellerin’s brother mayyyn. We’d be the ugliest team in the world with those two.
We have done more in the last one year than Wenger ever did in the preceding 10 years.
It’s very difficult not to harbor ill-feelings for Wenger.
Welcome Torreira and Guendouzi to the best club in the world
Have to admit I like the new shape our midfield seems to be taking
high hopes for Torreira who is a feisty player and will bring along grit and fight to our midfield,hope he settles well
get in a winger and we could surprise a good few this season
I wonder how much Crystal Palace would sell Zaha for? £60m? He is comparable to Mahrez?

No marquee signing, when we badly have the need of a winger, would mean an average window.
We were indeed a couple of signings with the Alexis team of winning the EPL in that Leicester year. Now we don’t have Alexis but we’ll have the other ingredients – DM, GK and CF. Pretty sad tbh.
Some stuff saying Torreira will be No.11, what is going on?
With all the exotic names some on here seem to want for the winger positions no one has looked at Demarai Gray .
Fast, skillful…a little raw granted . But considering we are lacking in quality English players and we are an English club it might not be a bad shout.
Two medicals at Arsenal today.
The direction the club is heading is just great.
