So it appears the summer transfer dealings are coming to a close. Arsenal are welcoming medicals for Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira. That’s two DMs, one for now, with the other pegged for future greatness. Here’s a little snippet about the Frenchman, who comes with discipline issues.
On the pitch, Guendouzi’s lanky frame and floppy hairstyle have drawn comparisons to Adrien Rabiot, and while that seems overly simplistic, there are some similarities to the two. Not really comfortable as a six, but not so skilful on the ball or direct enough to be used as a relayeur, Guendouzi instead relies on a lovely range of passing to affect play. At Lorient, this often manifested itself as balls played out to the flanks, or over the top, allowing him to play almost as a regista, dictating play on the counter whilst another midfielder retained the responsibility of breaking up the opposition’s play.
Despite not having the dribbling acumen of Rabiot, Guendouzi has shown flashes of realizing how to use his frame when in possession. Not particularly quick, he instead relies on a wiry strength to retain possession, using his long limbs to shield against opponents. That said, this same lanky aspect of his build can make him a bit lazy or prone to fouling when defending, as he is wont to leave a foot in or be somewhat lazy with his positioning in hoping to rely on his size, exemplified by a horror challenge against Auxerre last season. Too, while his inventiveness in terms of a range of passing is impressive, he can also be overly ambitious or seem to lack much in the way of a rapport with his teammates.
What a summer.
Most of the issues appear to have been addressed outside the new contract we’re hoping will head the way of Aaron Ramsey.
In 6 months, we’ve mostly rebuilt the core of the squad.
We’ve ripped out a fair chunk of the dross.
We’ve seen an elevation of some very promising young talents.
We’ve reshaped the coaching staff.
We’ve changed the manager.
We’re as ready as we’ve ever been to tackle the new season.
Everyone lands a fresh chance. Duff players might come good, key players might be relegated to the bench, the old style will certainly be canned, a new era for Arsenal is taking shape.
I’m not dreading the start of the new season. No one is battling to justify why we’ve only signed a Costa Rican 19 year old with a month until the start of the new season. No one is wondering why our manager is commentating at the World Cup. No one is under any confusion about what the new regime is trying to do the squad.
You don’t need to pick through a wreckage to retrofit a positive spin.
It feels good. From a writing perspective, it’s hard to know where to head. We’re all buckling up for a ride, unsure of the destination for once.
Bernd Leno has arrived at Colney, the club have announced he’ll be taking over the famous number 19 shirt for the new season. In his Arsenal.com interview, it’s clear his English is up to scratch, he also knows a lot about the club. He mentioned Thierry Henry, Highbury, and Alex Hleb who used to pay for Stuttgart.
I’m very happy we’ve managed to bring in a keeper. He’s come with quite a hefty price tag for a keeper many said lost his way last season, but hopefully there’s a plan for him and we’ve brought him in because of specific skills we hope to bake into the way we play. My biggest gripe about Petr Cech is his lack of ability to play with intelligence out the back. The hoof has been the standard distribution method for years. To have a keeper that can break the lines with clever passing will add a different dimension to our game, it’ll also be good to have someone who can act as an auxiliary sweeper when needed.
Outside that, we need a keeper who can pull off stunning saves. We haven’t had a keeper who can do miraculous things since Fabianski. The Polish keeper had that part of his game sussed, just a shame that’d come with horrendous errors. He was a good keeper though, gone too early in my opinion. But hey, I’ll take a steely German manning the goal for the foreseeable.
Jack Wilshere made it official and joined West Ham. The most predictable transfer of the summer. Content here.
I think that’s about all I have for the day?
ENGLAND on Wednesday. On that, can you imagine being the guy that got naked in the bar and has a snap of his arse flying around the world on a Monday morning? How embarrassing. I’m dying just typing this. That is why I NEVER get naked at the pub, even after a strong win.

I am totally supportive of what the club is doing and what they have done with wenger , though it is probably 3 years too late……blame the owner for that.
I like the look of torriera ,the rest is pretty average if you ask me …xhaka and chambers new contracts, why ……I don’t really no much about the keeper .
Wenger Eagle.
Seem to remember Makelele have a great long ball.?
Wenger was and still is egotistical, arrogant selfish fraud ..
Sacrified his life for Arsenal my ass..
Really excited about the new season whatever happens..
Pessimistic pat “What do you mean by have it both ways.we had a squad full of overpaid players courtesy of your man Wenger. Didn’t sort or extend contracts soon enough. We now appear to be addressing both areas. In terms of players leaving are you talking about Sanchez? He left for free instead of 60m courtesy again of your man Wenger. You really are a clueless fella.” Shouldn’t the owner be partially to blame for giving too much power to Wenger …surely Wenger wasn’t the only one dealing with the contracts and if he was then the club is run… Read more »

Agreed, there would have been uproar amongst fans if Wenger had done what you have highlighted.
Of course, the reason for this disharmony would have been based on one key thing.
Wenger would have been overseeing it all.
We all know how that would have ended.
Jack Wilshere says joining West Ham is ‘special’ as he reflects on his childhood supporting his new club
Didn’t take him long did it. Little prick
Lol Pierre I can see you really are blinkered. Do even a tiny bit of research and you’ll see that yes Wenger did decide all those things. And yes kroenke shares some blame. No one said otherwise. Stop trying to rewrite history. Also glad to see you’ve realised you’re clueless.
Marko
“Jack Wilshere says joining West Ham is ‘special’ as he reflects on his childhood supporting his new club Didn’t take him long did it. Little prick’
He apparently has a West ham tattoo on his forearm that he flashed in the unveiling tweets. He fooled so many for so long.
Guendouzi instead relies on a lovely range of passing to affect play. At Lorient, this often manifested itself as balls played out to the flanks, or over the top, allowing him to play almost as a regista, dictating play on the counter whilst another midfielder retained the responsibility of breaking up the opposition’s play
So not a DM then
Bob,
I agree, and I’m not suggesting Pierre (or anyone for that matter) is not a true supporter if they aren’t a ticket season holder.
However, when you pay money for something, and in this case it’s a fair whack of money for a home game, you expect at least some value in exchange for your money.
It’s much easier to divorce yourself from the financials of the club if you haven’t invested any money of your own.
The last 10 years of Wenger’s tenure didn’t represent value for money.
Take your point Jamie but the amount of money players are getting paid and the revenue the club receives is almost surreal. Of course the implications of one person earning £350,000 a week and the effect on other players ( and agents) can’t be ignored from a budgetary perspective. As fans, Ozil being paid that amount makes us feel he should be man of the match most games as he is receiving ‘best player’ wages. That being said, I couldn’t give a flying f**ck what they’re paid as long as they play well. I also wouldn’t mind if ST prices… Read more »
I do get that but it is what it is but it can work both ways ….if we don’t pay them enough then city or united snap their fingers and treble their wages and that’s it ,we lose one of our best players and everyone says why didn’t we pay him what he’s worth . Yeah but none of those clubs were queuing up to over pay Özil or Wilshere or whoever I mean my god under Wenger the amount of money we pissed away on wages was unbelievable. Kept giving Diaby and Wilshere new contracts even though they were… Read more »
That being said, I couldn’t give a flying f**ck what they’re paid as long as they play well.
So Ozil then. Not playing well very inconsistent and yet on one of the biggest wage packets in the league. I wonder where the criticism comes from
WengerEagle
“He hasn’t moulded or developed a talented youngster which used to be something of which he was revered for in a LONG time.”
Who are these talented youngsters which Wenger has suppposed to have produced.
Bob –
Again, I agree with your sentiments. Ozil’s wages, taken in isolation, aren’t a massive concern if he’s playing consistently well, although as you said the negative implications of high wages for average performances ripple through the squad.
I still think people who suggest we shouldn’t care about Ozil or Wenger’s wages are usually those who won’t even fork out for Sky Sports.
Jamie, there are so many ways to spend money and only a limited amount. I still believe passion for Arsenal is not tied to ‘how much it costs you’.
I guess if you spend a load on Arsenal then you, as an individual, might feel you have more invested but I think if you’re passionate it’s slightly irrelevant.
Marko, are you adding anything to the ‘I think Ozil is paid too much money and is not consistently our best player debate’….or are you just repeating a tired old message that pretty much everybody agrees with?
Marko, are you adding anything to the ‘I think Ozil is paid too much money and is not consistently our best player debate’….or are you just repeating a tired old message that pretty much everybody agrees with?
I mean what else is there. I mean to be fair in the last two seasons I’d probably say only really Monreal earned his coin by and large

WengerEagle – I live in Canada in a city of 100,000 people seventy miles west of Toronto. The young Asian woman who made my burrito for lunch a few days ago had a proper old-skool cannon tattooed on her bicep.
Marko, we all agree the malaise of the last few years has been for the most part painful. I do feel the new players from last season and the new arrivals will mean that we’ll be competitive this season. Assuming Torreira, Leno and Sokratis assimilate well, the obvious failings of Wenger..defence, tactics, idealism over pragmatism should mean that other teams will be playing a much more difficult-to-beat Arsenal. I’m hoping Bellerin becomes the player he appeared to be two seasons ago, for example. Xhaka, having a defensive Tasmanian devil next to him, could flourish. Ozil could have a renaissance after… Read more »
Take Theo Walcott. He was a bench player for at least 2 years. When it was apparent that he is not Arsenal quality, he was 25/26. Combining that with his long contract and English premium, we could’ve got 40 – 50m for a squad player, who was earning 140k a week.
But no. Why sell an unwanted player when you can always keep him on the bench and let him run his contract down.
But but we don’t have money to compete with the mancs.
“young Asian woman who made my burrito for lunch”
Goddammit what is the world coming to.
Now that the winds of change have finally hit, I still find it difficult to comprehend why there are still those amongst us who feel the need to stand up for Wenger. I just don’t get it. You would have thought that the predictability and boredom of it all would have hit home at some stage over the past few years. Surely there was an inkling of doubt there somewhere. Loyalty to Wenger was never an issue in all of this. It was, imo, all down to a fear of change. This has become increasingly evident since Unai Emery’s arrival.… Read more »
“It’s even better when you’re somewhere where you wouldn’t expect to find a fellow Gooner.” Okay. Here’s a fun fact. I have never met a gooner in person my entire life. Once I met a guy(my junior in college) that said he was a gooner. Turns out he couldn’t name more than 5 players and never watches us play by any stretch. So he doesn’t count. In my home town, I’m yet to meet a person who follows football let alone a gooner. But right now the FIFA fever is rampant and a lot of people watch the WC. In… Read more »

Akilan, I look forward to hearing about the day it finally happens., it’ll hopefully be memorable. I guess chatting on here counts to a certain extent.
Come on you Reds!
Not sure the fuss about Leno’s squad number. If all goes well, he’ll have the #1 jersey in a year. He’ll be under enough pressure coming in without adding to it with the #1 jersey. Let Cech have it for (hopefully) his final season. He can use it for Europa and the Cup games. Pierre has a point. A lot of the moves we’ve made this summer would have been mocked if Arsene had made them. But it wasn’t just the transfers that Arsene was being criticized for. It was the repeated Premier League collapses, the blind loyalty to his… Read more »

It wasn’t meant as a slight, Makelele was an amazing player. He was the definition of a specialist though, not sure there’s much of a debate to be had on that.
But good going forward? I mean you’re stretching it big time here.
Pique was a CF all throughout his teens, doesn’t mean he can play there at senior level.

Hahaha that’s quality. All shapes and sizes.
You get her backstory? 😉
Other way around for me, Belgium to beat France 2-1.
Sneaking feeling it will be an AET job.
WengleEagle – Her father from South Korea and TH14 is his favourite player of all time, she said she’s been gooner since age four when she first started watching TV matches with her dad.
Pierre has a point. A lot of the moves we’ve made this summer would have been mocked if Arsene had made them.
Absolute nonsense. Not one person would mock Arsene for buying up a decent keeper finally after years of having shit ones or for finally getting a DM type midfielder instead of overlooking these areas which is what he done. He might actually still be in the job had he not become useless and stubborn and overlooked these areas and refused to properly use the transfer market
Second that Marko
Ignore “Pierre” aka Paul
So refreshing not having wenger fuck up another summer dithering over transfers, refusing to sign true defensive players, all the while commentating for a foreign TV channel while Rome burns.
Why did you put up with this shite Stan?
Lol victorious wenger didn’t sacrifice himself for the club. He was paid not far shy of 100m to do a job over the years. Sacrifice? Lol ok. Almost anyone in the world would be willing to do what wenger did for that amount of money. The ultimate ‘sacrifice’ he could’ve made would’ve been to walk away after winning that FA cup after the trophy drought. But he didn’t because he is egotistical, selfish and needed to make the entire club all about him. The *fans* were the ones who have sacrificed their hard earned time money heart and passion to… Read more »

If anyone paid the price for Wenger’s stay at Arsenal it definitely wasn’t by him. He was paid a several Kings’ ransom for his bumbling performances as manager for at least the last 12 years.
Who actually paid the price?
Us. The fans. The people that love the club.
Wenger held the club back so he didn’t have to face the real world.
So assuming Wenger was on £9m as claimed, and Emery is on £4m allegedly, I’d like Cesc Appeal you say we are saving money, where do you write Sven, Sanllehi salary?
So at last count that’s … 73 players now signed in the off-season?
Goobergooner
Have no problem with your take on the matter.
Being an Aussie you understand the nationalistic thing.
However, when fans from other countries come on here and show disrespect and ignorance on the subject, that’s when I have a problem.
If you support Arsenal, at least have an understanding of the countries mindset when it comes to nationalistic pride and success.
Leedsgunner
True, true and true.
Now that Wengers in “the real world”, I wonder how he’s getting on.
Actually, I don’t give a ####.
The comparison between AW and Sir AF made me chuckle yesterday.
I wonder how fans would react if they renamed one of the stands THE ARSENE WENGER STAND?
Daledagooner
Emery is on 6 million.. You should know by now that people like Ces Appeal make up their own numbers to suit their argument.
Michael24 You are making the fatal mistake of thinking that what you read on here by the likes of marko, CA, Gambon etc is what people are thinking out in the real world. Of course the fans would be happy to see a stand or whatever named after him… It’s the bitter and twisted little people on here who have the problem and if things don’t go perfectly under Emery, I have no doubt that the shit will hit the fan again and these people will continue to embarrass the club. I always feel that it would be better if… Read more »
Please, this comparison to Alex Ferguson is farcical. At the beginning of Wenger’s tenure at Arsenal they were true rivals. Their respective departures at their clubs could not be more different. Ferguson finished Man U as EPL champions, having managed to pry RvP from Arsenal for a song. Wenger limped into his lowest league finish ever, trophyless and humiliated after being dumped from the Europa League the weaker European competition. Wenger was forced to sell his best attacker, because Alexis made it clear that he had lost faith in him. Wenger likes to think he is some sort of colossus… Read more »
Maybe history will show that the last 5 years to be one of Arsenal’s most successful periods…. Just saying.”
18 points behind Chelsea, promptly followed up by 37 points behind City. Surely you jest.
It would appear Emery could be the ‘e’ in The Arsenal, which is a contrast to Wenger who ended up putting an aspro in The Arsenal – slow working dope!
France v Croatia most likely.
Would love to see Belgium v England in the final though.
“Wenger likes to think he is some sort of colossus because of the length of his stay.” Except it’s not all about what he thinks but what the record states Arsene Wenger’s records are close to Sir Alex’s, but the Scot is several steps ahead of Wenger in the silverware won. Wenger has gone through a lot of difficult periods during his time at Arsenal, which includes changing from Highbury Stadium to the financial restraints he had faced. Arsene Wenger never did break all the records set by Sir Alex Ferguson but the Frenchman has played a huge role in… Read more »
we gave wenger a proper send off, cause we are a class act. We let him leave on his terms. Wenger talked about values. the club has them but values don’t win football games. The board respected what Wenger did for the brand name. You can see wengers influence on the brand name of arsenal by the sheer amount of people who couldn’t let him go (vic, pierre and co). Also by the amount of people who thought arsenal was named after arsene (yes, I have met some people who think this )
Victorious.
A manager who has always upheld humanitarian values over personal gains
Pahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
He was one of the highest paid managers in the world throughout his time at arsenal. Personal gains lol. And what humanitarian values do you speak of? Please give some examples other than giving average players large contracts and refusing to replace underperforming players. This isn’t the fucking UN you deluded prat it’s competitive sport. Hilarious
The wenger cult wont die . Humanitarian ..sacrificed his life for arsenal ..donated his kidney to eboue … protected gunnersaurus from extension ..whats next ?

We all enjoyed the first ten years off his tenure.
But he’s gone now.
Realistically no other manager will do that length of time. It’s unhealthy .
Wenger got enough thanks for his work in cash.
Strange how no one has snapped him up since he became available ?
Why are you mentioning net spend Pierre when you said that didn’t matter yesterday. I like the way you used the times we lost too to bump up the numbers,very clever. And if you and victorious don’t consider people like me who wanted Wenger gone as fans in your eyes I am more than happy with that you pair of deluded revisionist prats.
“A manager who has always upheld humanitarian values over personal gains…”
Just wow!!

Between you, me, G62/M24, Heaven 17, UB40, U2, Maroon5, B52’s, 10cc etc what could we name that stand?
How about…. THE ARSENE WENGER TOP FOUR WILL DO, EVEN THOUGH WE COULDN’T COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, BECAUSE OF HIS BLIND IGNORANCE AND STUBBORNESS TO ACT, WHILST DISRESPECTING AND SCREWING THE FANS FOR TWELVE YEARS…………………MEMORIAL STAND.
That wording would just about fit around the hospitality level.
R. S. P. C. Arsenal
Of course he was paid a very good wage… I dont know why anyone would have to keep bringing it up…. It’s normal for a manager of a big club to receive top money.
It’s obvious that now that Wenger’s departed it will be özil who will have the same hate campaign from the media and minority fans.
Fools.
Graham/Michael
Reading the piffle you always put on this space I imagine your son will be very proud,what a hero you are
To be honest, I don’t see the point of continued cvnting of Wenger. Two decades is a long time… There were good times, there were bad times. But the man is gone now so why hold grudges?

funny how wenger put up his own barrier for success.. get in the top 4 and its a successful season. Then proceeds to cock up his own imaginary set of goals. if he was still manager, he would be somewhere in France acting as a pundit whilst neglecting his duty at arsenal.
“A manager who has always upheld humanitarian values over personal gains”
Yep, too bad he hadn’t been “that” generous to improve his squad.
(Still much too many akb c*nts around here)
Point is Marko, those clowns (looking at Pierre, Vic and whoever Aubergine is pretending to be these days) aren’t even worth anybody’s time.
According to the accountant on Le Grove, ces Appeal, Torreira will be paid 50,000 a week and özil apparently earns 350,000 a week. Now what does that mean to Le grovellers… I would say a never ending reference to the fact that Torreira, who is on a much lower wage, is seen to be putting in double the effort as he is chasing around the pitch (similar to sanchez) in an attempt to get on the ball. Whereas özil is seen to be strolling around the pitch, but the ball keeps arriving at his feet and he finds a team… Read more »

if he was still manager, he would be somewhere in France acting as a pundit whilst neglecting his duty at arsenal.
Wouldn’t be signing up 4 players that’s for damn sure. Wouldn’t be ready for the start of the season either.
Left side you are very right
Would explain because there was major periods during his 22 years as a manager where he wasn’t doing his fucking job that’s for sure
”
oh might it be the period where he managed 3 FA cups and a number of community shields,cup finals etc..not to. mention the consistrnt finishing of top 4 places,maybe not eh, or maybe as usual you’d talking out your arse again to over elaborate that so called ‘barren years’
Strangely enough, the stats actually showed that sanchez did not work harder than özil… How could that be true.
Okay

The numbers become less impressive, however, when they are broken down on a per 90 minute basis. Ozil, who played 2847 minutes last season, actually ranked ninth for distance run per 90 minutes and 10th for sprints per 90 minutes among the 15 Arsenal players who played a minimum of 1000 minutes

Victorious. Without even considering Wenger salary. He alone cost Arsenal tens of millions of pounds. He’s decision making on transfers. Long term players injury’s. On field tactics in important games. And in my opinion the design of the Emirates. Severely put us back 10 years. And here we are trying to start to sort this mess out.???

This is vomit inducing stuff. Wenger isn’t a philanthropist and its ironic that your even connecting him with humanitarian values. Aren’t they associated with enhancing lives, stopping suffering?
Wenger improved the life of himself and his pampered babies, but caused millions around the world to suffer for years. Of course it wasn’t proper suffering, but in the sporting sense – we all have.
It’s also ironic that a man championing a loser has the moniker of Victorious you absolute mug.

Also 14 years since our last league title but who’s counting those kinds of statistics he made finals and apparently the charity shield is all of a sudden important enough to bring up as success for Arsene Wenger. I mean the charity shield goes straight to pens it’s not a real trophy. Literally

Marko
I am sure, as a football person yourself, you would know that the quality players need to conserve their energy for when they needed it most.. When they are on the ball.
examples would be Thierry Henry and Messi though of course I am not putting özil on their level.
Henry and Messi are /were very clever players.. They saved their energy for when they really needed it.. When they were /are on the ball.
Again I ask Marko and Pessimistic..
What would be your definition of success for the new gaffer?
