That’s what I think he’ll go with, or possibly the same thing with Auba up top and either Mkhitaryan, Iwobi or maybe even Welbeck on the left, depending on how he wants to balance that side.Quote:

I read he wasn't keen on Welbeck and we're just running down his contract which i really hope is true and that he'only get FLC appearancesQuote:

To be fair, Emery pretty much announced that to the world in one of his first interviews, so it’s not really a secret. But I don’t doubt that Pep had already done his research and worked it out for himself.Quote:

Welbeck needs to rebrand himself, fast, if he wants a future here, because he’s not getting a sniff as a CF (for club or country).Quote:

There’s a vacancy there (maybe even a couple of vacancies), and no one has really staked an undisputed claim for it yet, so we can only really win at this point? If it works out, then great! If it doesn’t, well it’s not like we’ve missed out on a fee, because no one made us an offer for him anyway - just don’t offer him a new deal.

2-2.
We've been all over the place defensively in preseason so I'm expecting us to lose this. It'll take time for Emery's training to take effect and I don't know if Emery has even figured out the best formation and XI to go with yet. I'm hoping we put up a good fight at least.
2-1 to City.
I meant that Guardiola was pressed on what he thought Emery would do in the game against us specifically ....not necessarily what Emery's general formation of choice was, though clearly that is what Guardiolas answer is informed from.Quote:

No real expectations for this game or indeed this season. At best we'll get a draw today I think, but probably expecting us to lose. As for the season, not expecting anything of Emery, after 22 years of one manager and with very little real investment in the team (and not real top signings), whatever happens happens, it will probably take him a year or two to mould things to his liking and change everything about Wengers reign, there's a lot of bad habits and methods to change, as well as the mentality of course.
As I said 6/10 for transfers, not enough investment and other than Torreira the signings are gambles, the lack of a top CB is a worry, could have made all the difference, lack of a winger is also of concern, we really needed one. Could have tried to get Gelson Martins, he was available on a free.
Keeping situation will concern me if Leno doesn't start today, he's not a kid (26) and he's wasnt cheap, he 100% should be number or it will be very strange, would suggest we've signed a keeper which we don't fully trust ability wise as Cech is past is and not world class anymore, hasn't been anywhere near as good since his head injury to be honest.
