Cant see much in Nelson will end up very slightly better than iwobi will fetch a tidy profit ending up in a mid table team.

Crouchie has no calves

Your posts are actually pure comedy. I hope, for your sake, that you are joking. If not you need to seek professional help.

Gentlebris

I feel the best of our business is Martinelli. I hope he does things in training to force Emery’s hand, otherwise no play time, Emery is in a very tight corner.
But that lad got fireworks potentials, he missed two world class bangers just by inches in pre season.

Crimson

Yep the doctors let him out of the asylum every week for the the appointment.
He is a mess down there. Bless him

‘He’ has a virginal?

😂😂😂😂😂

I thought only a ‘she’ gets a virginal?

Chris Crouchie didn’t need calf muscles( only on his head) Anyway, He didn’t run around the pitch. Watford got to the Cup final – they have added to the squad with more powerful players, They are under the radar They have continuity They have one game a week A competent coach More depth everywhere- from what I can see. We will do well to usurp Watford in the league. We have lost 5/10 games And added Louise – a joke defender. And just added 2 players who have never played a PL game before ( cebollas and Pepe) And folk… Read more »

Has Arsenal finishing 6th
Has Watford finishing 8thHe clearly is of the same opinion of mine- that the Watford squad is on a par with ours.

First things first on par 6th to 8th? Secondly you had them finishing above us. And thirdly you’re thick beyond words.

I guess, the best selling author and respected Crouchie is a Troll Too…..

No he’s just an idiot too

Really really nice bloke too.
None of that means arsenal will finish 6th this season

Ole: “I do expect [Sanchez] to stay yes. There is a striker there that I think is going to be able to score some goals.”

So Alexis and Rashford are going to be played as CFs it seems. Poor Manure, basically having an Ozil in their hands. Gigantic salary that is way off the real contribution to the team.

alexanderhenry

It’s been an excellent window, no question.

However, we need to be accurate about net spend.
Regarding the Pepe transfer, we have only made an upfront payment of £20 million, and the rest will be payed off in installments over- I think -the next four or five seasons.

That lowers actual net spend for this window to around £40 million.

The thing is, I don’t really care right now.
I admit I was sceptical about Arsenal’s obsessively ‘in budget’ approach, but to be fair , they’ve worked it beautifully this window, so I’m happy.

Roll on Sunday.

gunnershabz

if all the rumours about crystal palace only selling to a champions league club it would made sense if we spoke to zaha before the europa league and it was in the balance

hence the £40m bid and we tried our luck and unsettled the player

alexanderhenry

CG

Why not reserve judgement?

I assume as a fan, you want arsenal to do well. We’ve made a number of additions, so it’s far too early to predict anything.

No one likes a party pooper.

DigitalBob

Its been a great window. Raul has done great and I expect further departures to bring in more cash.

Un na naai – as the article says no excuses from Emery this year, Cheski have the naive fat frank in charge, Ole Gunnar looks out of his depth. Both with depleted squads as well so I expect both to be behind us this season.

Didn’t he cheat on abby Clancy?

If so he is an idiot as she is (or was) a solid 9/10 a few years back. Haven’t seen her in yonks so dunno if she aged well…

Nelson

What I suggest is that the board should set a priority for Emery to focus on the League. Last year, Emery was feeling the pressure to win every competition. He really needs to rotate the players better. During the preseason, Emery used the 4 2 3 1 formation every game. He requested the two wingers to help out the two full backs when we are defending. I like Reiss Nelson’s defensive contribution. He tracks the runners very well. The same cannot be said of Micki. He acted more like a spectator. I would be really upset if Emery select Micki… Read more »

“if all the rumours about crystal palace only selling to a champions league club”

So I say we go back for him either in the winter or next summer with UCL on the line. Amirite?!

In all honesty there aren’t many left wingers that are much better than him, he has the experience in the EPL and I feel like will start adding more goals to his game. We should sell Mikki and get Zaha, we’d settle our front three for years.

Marko

CG I’d prefer it if you dropped dead instead of writing that book. You’re an immature idiot who makes stupid points and who exists for no other reason than to pollute this place with your inane chatter.

Un na naai

Well
You took that a little personally marko. Secret abi Clancy crush you just couldn’t shake off?

Nelson

I wouldn’t rule out Manure. They have spent £130m to strengthen their defense. They are keeping only fast runners in the attack. Obviously, they’ll play a defense and fast counter style football. But I wouldn’t be surprised that their fast runners couldn’t find the net.

Marko

Another genius. Yes very personal.

fsaf

I’m already salivating at the idea of us signing Coutinho/Zaha, Upamecano and couple of CMs (Ceballos if he does great) next summer. We would fill all the holes in the team in 2 summers.

Sell Ozil, Mikki, Xhaka, Mustafi and Chambers (I think Elneny will be sold before the EU window closes). It would be fantastic.

I’m in doubt if Kolasinac is good enough for a reserve LB so imma leave the judgement on the club’s directors.

Freddie Ljungberg

Emery today: ” We were changing players at the last moment. “We had with Laurent Koscielny the first captain but just five days ago he left. Other players were coming in, we finished our market but it is at the moment open in other countries. “In the next 20-25 days some players will leave. It’s the reason, I want to close our squad clearly.” Still hope of getting rid of some of the dross. Lampard has also confirmed that there was no strike or any falling out with Luiz. There’s also a chance Pepe will play on Sunday. Good news… Read more »

“At the moment we have three captains, Xhaka, Mesut and Nacho… I want to take two more with our squad.

“The three have the capacity to be captains for us.“

Receding Hairline

Spent some time reading a Chelsea blog today ( always visit the blog when they are miserable, don’t comment though).

It was amusing watching them try to convince themselves Luiz was the worst defender to ever play for them and that John Obi Mikel is a Chelsea legend but Luiz isn’t

Pure gold

Much better than reading the silly rambling about Watford, whatever brought that on. Are Arsenal now looking to compete with Watford?? Silly bugger

fsaf

I like Emery but the 5 captains thing is a big pile of shit. I see that in Arsenal there isn’t really captain potential at all – Ramsey was okay but is no longer in the team, Leno is okay but has been here for 1 summer, Luiz is okay but has been here for 1 day. Who else? Laca? He won’t start some of our games…

Xhaka, Mesut and Nacho… all kind of shiet tbh.

Marko

Don’t take things so personal Don. If you didn’t want people to think that you’re stupid then stop saying stupid things. Still not a postman old boy

Freddie Ljungberg

Elmo

ok, so not all good news then, all of those should be gone within a year max.

Not sure if we have any good options for Captain though, none of the players that’s been at the club for more than 2 years are good enough and the new guys are maybe too fresh?

I would just give it to Leno since he’s guaranteed starts but don’t know what kind of leader he is.

Northbanker

The CB roles will be fascinating this year. It will take 2 years for Saliba to be truly EPL ready and so the 2 year Luiz contract will be vital in preparing that ground. That is also probably the remaining useful economic life of Sokratis. So who emerges as a top CB out of Holding, Chambers, Mavrapanos and possibly Medley this season will be vital in deciding whether to go all out to get Upamecano. The priority funds for next year wil be that and also the likely huge price tag of Ceballos ( who will ironically increase in value… Read more »

Marko

They might ease Pepe in but Luiz will start he’s had a preseason he’s good to go. Ceballos might not start straight away cause of the knock against Barca but he’ll be a starter soon

Interestingly Matt Le Tissier has done his final table prediction and has the Spud’s 3rd, us 4th, ManU 7th and Chelsea 9th.

I’ve been trying to keep a view not overly biased (I know I know) but I can see ManU and Chelsea having really bad seasons. ManU just look a shambles – defence will probably be OK but after that I can see all sorts of problems. Chelsea are shockingly short of forwards / goal scorers.

Who is our reserve goalie?

Who is our reserve goalie?

Shouldn’t you know the answer? you can reel off all the names of players from the superior teams to us, which is everybody. You weasal.

Marc

Is it David Seaman?

Leftsidesanch

Marc, that’s what I was saying beforehand, Sky pundits are a bunch of idiots. How you can have us down in 6th is anybodys guess.

Chelsea have no strikeforce to speak of, have just lost their best player and are relying on Giroud, Bats and Abraham to fire the goals but they’re going to finish in the CL spots? I wouldn’t be so sure.

The more I read of Tierney the more excited I am about him He seems to have a phenomenal strength of character about him

2 Centre Forwards ONLY in the squad Alert!

Seems your knowledge of squads only goes as far as Watford’s you cretinous idiot. We have a back up keeper and a third choice one look it up idiot. And the forward stuff seems to stem from us loaning out Nketiah who made a handful appearences and one goal last season. We have John Jules, Saka, Nelson, Martinelli on top of the front 3. Basically we’ll find a way to replace the mercurial Nketiah as 3rd choice

Marc

Leftside Unless one of Cheslea’s kids really step it up I can see them struggling. Lampard took over Derby in 6th and with the biggest wage bill in the Championship he finished 6th. Pulisic might do well but he’s got to replace Hazards 16 goals and 15 assists. Morata and Higuian got 10 PL goals between them last season – both are gone. It could be a collapse from them. ManU have strengthened their defence but the mid field I’m not sure about and if Pogba stays you just know he’s going to blow up at some stage and cause… Read more »

Marko

Marc some of these pundits have real problems objectively judging some teams such as Spurs United and Chelsea but never us. In their minds Spurs are capable of challenging for the title (they’re not) United have done brilliantly with signing Maguire (their attack is based solely around Rashford now which is awful) and Chelsea just with the addition of Lampard are in a good place. Basically they’re all over the place

Hope they are aware Lampard is coming to coach and not play. Lampard the player we all know, Lampard the coach is still a bit of a mystery. 74 points in the championship isn’t a big deal. Norwich finished with 94 and are one of the favorites to go down

Agreed but what can you do when the author refuses to bin him

Marc

Marko

It seems to have gone under the radar but I think there could be problems behind the scenes at the Spud’s.

The Poch doing this whole “don’t call me manager call me head coach” his job title was changed at his request a little while ago. If you’ve got a problem with your DOF doing deals have a private conversation don’t make sarcastic comments to the press.

“””And the forward stuff seems to stem from us loaning out Nketiah who made a handful appearences and one goal”””

Yes, that was last season

This,is this season- and what with a buoyant pre season under his belt- he would have been a Very Useful asset for Loosers Cup fixtures, etc.

Loaning him to Leeds – a totally incompetent decision when you have the workload we face and only Laca and PEA to compete with.

Great coup for Leeds ,mind.

T.h

fsaf

Marc,
I read about it by several different media journos already. The manager of the big 6 they expect to not finish the season is Poch. No idea if they have insider info or something, but to say that when Manure and Chelsea have managers they have is pretty bold. Even Emery is not that stable imo.

CG

Maybe The Clown does intends to play Laca/PEA and Pepe in The Loosers Cup, then.

jwl

I have not listened to podcast but I’m guessing Pedro is happy gooner again going by title and terrific summer of transfers we had.

First time i’m looking forward to a season in long while, I am most excited to see new boys Pepe, Ceballos and hopefully Martinelli has enough talent that Emery will use him for 20 minutes at end of each match to fire a rocket at opposing team just as they getting tired.

I can’t believe we going to be balanced, normal team again.

Oh to be a gooner!

You were on here praising Crystal Palace for signing Gary Cahill who’s 33, a year older than LUIZ whilst also criticising the signing of Tierney You’re now criticising the signing of LUIZ which is essentially the same as signing Cahill, which we were forced into doing because of Koscielny, and because we couldn’t get a deal thrashed out quick enough for Upamecano. Your agenda is boring and very transparent; Luiz wanted to come here having worked under Emery before, Cellebalos chose to come here because of Emery over Pochettino, Pepe too chose Arsenal as soon… Read more »

Fact is we lost Nketiah and Welbeck as capable Europa League CF options.

I think Martinelli will be used as a CF in some Europa League matches. Even Mkhitaryan should do well in these games.

Xhaka said: “I would be delighted to be the first Swiss player to captain a Premier League club.

“It would be something special, and a dream come true for me. It would be a recognition of my performances for Arsenal.

Please what performances is xhaka talking about?

Plato

Anyone who isn’t satisfied with this transfer window should just join the scouts or something. Clearly, football is not your thing.

Emiratesstroller

I have made a conservative estimate of revenues which the club are receiving
from sales EXCLUDING add ons.

The figures rounded up are as follows:
IWOBI £28 Million
BIELIK £7.5 Million
KOSCIELNY £4.5 Million
BENNACER £4.5 Million [30% of sale to Napoli]
OSPINA £3.15 Million
AMAECHI £2.25 Million
JENKINSON £2 Million
ASANO £1 Million
THOMPSON £1 Million
————————————————————————-
£53.90 Million

The transfer fees for Iwobi and Thompson can rise to £34 Million and £3 Million respectively with add ons.

His personal vendetta against Emery and the new regime is though, rather pathetic.

Yes I suspect that we will offload Mustafi and Elneny as well. However, they may
land up as loans this season.

Let’s assume that we are spending this summer:
Pepe £20 million [1st instalment]
Tierney £20 million [1st instalment]
Luiz £8 million
Ceballos £5 million loan fee
Martinelli£6 million

So our expenditure this summer is almost certainly under £60 million. It is
therefore quite probable that we have not actually used most of our net spend
budget of £45 million this summer.
