New kits look amazing + transfer gossip

by .

Well, well, well… our favourite creator has only gone and done it again. He went and got married, and it’s just been amazing to watch Arsenal internet go into action.

The German World Cup winner had Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as his best man. Imagine the state of the stag-do?

Soho House in Istanbul, followed by some super dark activities you probably can’t by on LADSONTOUR.COM.

The banter was amusing though. Fans talking about him padding his stats for the dance where he hardly moved. Apparently, he took a seat for his vows, little to no intensity in pressing on until full-time. Just good times all around.

I love the idea of Vinnai, fresh from talking to the fans about the ‘proud of you strategy’, landing the memo about the best man. The closest thing to a dictator in Europe, taking a leading role at your most expensive players’ wedding… a lovely message to send to the world. But see what I mean about that vision? It’s subjective. We won’t hold ourselves accountable to it.

There’s so much transfer gossip on the table at the minute it’s hard to make any sense of it.

The most important piece for me is the news that Granit Xhaka could be off to Inter Milan. The reason that one sparks interest is firstly, he’d be very suited to that league. Secondly, despite what an absolute disaster he’s been for us, he still carries a lot of value in Europe, because he can control a game from deep if he’s given time. Thirdly, there’s a rumoured agreement about Champions League football.

Suits me people, the big worry is this… who do we bring in to replace him? Ideally, we’d find someone who was stronger, had more mobility, and preferably someone who could dribble the ball forward if needed. Xhaka makes us very one dimensional, we need someone with a more holistic skillset that would suit the high-intensity approach of the Premier League.

The hot story for players-in seems to centre around Joachim Anderson and Dennis Praet. Anderson is a tall ball playing centre back of 23 years old, with Dennis Praet looking more like a Ramsey like replacement without the goals or assists. I don’t know enough about either, my worry is that when you sign out of Italy, you’re forgoing any understanding of whether they will be able to deal with the intensity of the Premier League. Even LT, who looked like a beast, faded badly with the season. The bigger concern is Praet if I’m honest, his numbers are abysmal in terms of production, and for a club that depended so heavily on two strikers, you’d hope we’d be looking at players that can contribute more to the goal tally.

Then you move up to the wingers. Yannick Carrasco has apparently taken as much as he can of China and is trying to claw a way back. The Belgian comes with the attitude baggage of Mesut Ozil. The press constantly referenced his issues under Simeone, namely that he was a bit of a bitch about injuries. The mere fact he ducked out to China at 25 also tells as story. We all know a recruitment consultant that took a job in Dubai, right?

On his day, he’s scoring goals in the Champions League final. He’s had to play under a beast regime for Simeone. He has pace, trickery and he’s very technical. However, we’re not buying into someone who has consistently delivered. For me, he could blow-up now he’s hitting the latter stages of his career, or he could go the way of Nani.

I guess the challenge we have at Arsenal now is the offering is very, very Europa League. We have a manager that made the product offering less glamorous, the whole world knows that Erdogan’s boy thinks he’s not a coach, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get better at Arsenal.

The club is an exciting offering, but not under this regime. So you either end up with players that can’t be arsed, or players that you’re taking a huge talent gamble on. I have very little faith Emery has the sauce to make the right talent gambles. We all saw Suarez…

Now let’s talk about the new signing we know is elite…

ADIDAS!

Finally, some kits we can believe in.

I’m into all of the kits.

My gut feel is this. Adidas have held back on the away kits. They’re going to go big with bruised banana. From a marketing perspective, my guess is they are going to continue to ride the nineties nostalgia train as we move through our deal with them. No better sports brand in the world to be tied to these days. I am truly over the moon about those shirts.

On the exit list.

Danny W has been released. He never lived up to his potential, but he worked hard for us, scored some important goals. My favourite, outside watching him down United in Sydney, was the one he scored in 2016 against Leicester at home. That sweet moment when we thought we’d win the league. Ahhh, wonderful.

Cohen fucking Brammal has left. Remember the absolute HYPE when we signed him?

Cech, Licht, and Rambo… all gone.

There are strong rumours we’re ditching Ospina. NO NEWS ON JENKO. Stories that Hamburg are bringing in Osei-Tutu. There are a lot of big clubs sniffing around our youth players. My gut as an agent of one of those players would be to look at what Emery does, versus what he says. He is a man under pressure next season, he’ll have zero time for blooding the youth and it’s really not what he’s good at… players like Sancho are going to show the way, and I expect an exodus of the best kids from the Premier League this summer. A little like the time Spain lost a lot of elite kiddie talent back in the day.

Right, that’s my word count done for the day… see you in the comment! x

Man United have made a substantial bid for Wan Bissaka

Valentin

When in charge at various club, Tony Adams has been nothing short than an absolute car crash. Players complaining of him not turning up at training session. Training session against opposition when due to weather condition that game had been postponed. Training session against the wrong tactic. My favourite training where the coach arrives 3 hours late because he forgot to adjust to local time after a weekend back in UK. I don’t understand how anybody could suggest that bringing Tony Adams as a coach at Arsenal would not be a mistake of huge proportion. The guy was a legend… Read more »

Not suggesting to bring him in just that he could have done no worse than Bould.

Valentin

All the reports coming out of Portsmouth when he was assistant to Harry Redknapp were so bad, Tony Adams has been unable to find any work in the UK. At least Steve Bould was in charge of set pieces. Defensively when he was in charge we had the best record (both under Wenger and Emery), so he must have been doing something right. Offensively, he also introduced some variety to our corners routines. Flick from per or Giroud. That seems to demonstrate more ability than Tony Adams ever did. Moreover I would say that most of our defensive issues stem… Read more »

Where ever you look there are issues in the side.
There seemed some semblence of things getting
better with Holding / Bellerin playing well.
But the Midfield as you say has been dire.

Not to sure these loan moves are good for players.?

If you want to bring a former Arsenal defender, let’s take Martin Keown who helped mastermind the journey to the Champion’s league final.
I would also not mind Sol Campbell who has done a tremendous job under very difficult circumstances.

I have seen ESR play and trust me he needs to be loaned out. He is very good going forward, but he some serious lapse of concentration with regards to the defensive side of his game.
If he gets caught that often at U21, he would get murdered at senior level. Better he irons those issues away from Arsenal. Half the stadium would be on his case and severely destroy his confidence if he were to make them at the Emirates Stadium.

@RH, I have two sides of my mouth and I can talk from whichever side I prefer, that shouldn’t be a problem, should it?

How many youngsters have come through academies in other premier league clubs?

How many clubs are in the same shoe we are in presently? Has emery even involved any new homegrown youngster? He’s looking at youngsters in other clubs but ours are suddenly some set of car crashes waiting to happen. Btw, what has guendouzi offered that justified his buy which none of our youngsters can’t?

Champagne charlie

Not sure if the quotes are new/old but Carrasco spoke about ‘negotiations going well’, and that the ‘Premier League is more physical, but there are more spaces to run into’.

Sounds very much like a deal likely to get done, unless I’m unaware of another PL club sniffing?

Receding I’m not a fan of flooding the team with youth,one maybe two, and maybe two on the bench if there good enough.
But the way transfer fees are going a lot of teams will eventually look to academy players.
Tv money will only go to a point, when you see average premier league players at 40-50 million it can’t go on.

Up 4 grabs the academy player’s have to be good enough first. I have nothing against academy players but are they good enough? Do we even have the best academy in the country? City have a celebrated academy how many have broken through? How many at Spurs? Who are our academy players you can guarantee will take us up a notch when they come in?

@Vickngz you are still kinda confused, u said youngsters aren’t coming here anymore because of Emery, prove it. We are not debating the qualities of Guendouzi.

Receding Hairline

Manchester united also have an academy, how many are breaking into the first team? They are buying Wan bissaka and James from other teams because they have experience playing at higher levels.

We on the other hand are talking up our prospects like they are sought after by the best teams in the world, no Hamburg aren’t a big team.

Up 4 grabs now

Receding I think we have a few that can step up to being on the bench. And probably better to pay a kid 10-15k a week than to pay the likes of elneny and the like 50k a week for 10-12 appearances a season.

If there good enough to break into the first eleven, fantastic.
But your right most sides aren’t using there academy players and they end up dropping down the league’s.

Valentin

Up4Grabs,

Wenger had a lot of blind spots, but stating that Wenger never wanted to play any of the academy players unless it was an easy league cup game is beyond ridiculous.

He introduced AMN, Iwobi, Bellerin, Holding, Chambers in premiership games.
He blooded young players into the squad via easy or Europa League game, because that’s what you are supposed to do. Not throwing them in the deep end in must win games or Europa League final out of sheer desperation.

Champagne charlie

“City have a celebrated academy how many have broken through?” Breaking into a side getting 100 and 98 points per season in the prem is a touch more difficult than ousting guys claimed to be inferior than half the Leicester team. The premise simply cannot be applied without looking at the sides mentioned and the relative contexts of each club. Phil Foden gets minutes at Man City, but he starts 40 games at Arsenal. That’s the current level. We’re a tier below, there’s quite clearly room for us to blood some academy guys or at the very least integrate and… Read more »

There is also an element of luck with young players career. Ashley Cole was considered inferior to Ryan Garry and on his way to Crystal Palace. Ryan Garry was seriously injured during an U21 game against Ipswich (he never fully recovered) and was unable to replace Sylvinho when we suddenly had to exfiltrate him upon discovering his fake passport.

Vickingz Emery didn’t buy any youngster from outside, Sven did and that’s the right way to go. If you see a hot prospect you bring him in. That’s how we ended up with Cesc,Bellerin,Holding. The fact some of you are claiming them as our products is unfortunate.

We 100% should bring in young players from other clubs if they have been playing for their clubs and are ready to make the step up.

@.RH, our academy players ain’t good enough hence the acquisition of good players like guendouzi. It is finished.

Is man utd crying of lack of transfer money?

We had it from the horse’s mouth, from both Wenger and Gazidis, that they had no transfer pot money, were on a sell-to-buy policy. Not at the time, of course, but later, when they had pot money to spend.

Many surmised that to be the case. But the point made is that they were dishonest with the fans, whereas Emery (thus far) has been truthful and straightforward.

By the way Vickingz an inadequate transfer pot doesn’t mean you go raiding the academy, it means you sell players you do not need to buy the ones you do.

Anyone finding our continual look to Serie A a bit puzzling when so much talent resides in France lately?

Rumours I know, but we seem to have setup base camp there. Curious

Valentin

Jordan Veretout!?

He failed at Aston Villa. He is a decent player, but is he really of sufficient quality? He is not a prospect anymore. So not a lot of uplift on him.
We should be aiming at either young with untaped potential or established professional who can help us reach top 4 on a consistent basis. He is better than what we have, I don’t see the massive upgrade on Elneny or Xhaka there. More dynamism and willingness to bite, but shorter than Xhaka and less physicality.

Valentin

Gilles Grimandi was Arsenal head scout for France. He was let go when Arsenal was replaced. He is now DoF or director of recruitment for Nice with Patrick Viera the head coach. I don’t think that we have replaced him since.
All the French players we have been tracking must have been from the list Sven left behind.

Danny S,

The interview is just at the beginning of the 2007-2008 season. You know the one when we reached the Champion’s league final.
Looks to me like he was right at the time. The team is more important than individual.

The hate that some have against Wenger is so ridiculous that even when he said or did something good, you have to try to find a fault there. Revisionism at its worst.

Valentin

Apologies. You are right. We were in the 2006 final not 2008 final.
2008 was when we all thought we were going to win the league until we collapse following Eduardo leg being broken.
I don’t remember people protesting too much at the beginning of the season.

Sid

The room we would have on our wage budget in 2 years when Ozil, Mikki, mustafi’s contracts are up would be massive.

Mikki is the only guys we *might* be able to move, but I doubt there would be any takers for Ozil and mustafi, meaning we would be playing them next season in Europa to give our 1st team guys a rest, 450k back-up squad players.
