Have to say now the window is about to close I’ve been a little bit underwhelmed with our activity this summer. I’m hopeful for the new regime but that’s about it, I can’t say our signings have filled me new found confidence. If this had been a Wenger window I’m sure there would have been some choice words to be said for the players we’ve signed.
Having said that though, I’m looking forward to Sunday and the start of new chapter. A sold out and buzzing Emirates. COYG.
I'm with you, it's underwhelming, interested to see how Emery will do but it could be a rocky start for him unfortunately as he's been unlucky with the fixtures. Lacazette and Aubameyang together is exciting though.Quote:

On top of that the Ramsey situation still isn't sorted which is a shocker, we should have sorted it or sold him and used that money by now.
I think weve improved central midfield with the Torreira signing, plus Maitland-Niles and Guendouzi knocking on be door.
But agree with others on concerns over other areas, particularly the centre of defence if he's planning to go with Mustafi and Sokratis as his starters.
From the preseason games I get the impression he still doesn't know how to get the best out of all the attacking players. Hopefully their quality will pull us out of some holes.
22 years won't be wiped away in the space of a handful of meaningless warm up games with a team half filled with kids and back-up options.Quote:

Either way, it's going to be a long season similar to the last couple and we won't get to see what Emery can really do until the last third/start of next season.
Don't want him either.Quote:

For 25million I would rather pass and add that amount to splashing on a good quality emerging CB in the summer if we need one.
Yep agreed.Quote:

It is inevitable that Spuds will sell Alderweireld to Man Utd and buy someone, probably Grealish.
I would love to see Alderweireld stay at Spuds and leave next summer without Spuds getting anything for him but it won't happen.
Will Arsenal allow Ramsey to stay in the same situation or will they sell him ?
Far from a guarantee. Man U have loads of CB's and you'd have thought they'd have signed Alderweireld by now if they wanted him. They don't need to play chess or slowly slowly catchy monkey like we normally do. They are good for the money.
I think a lot of the clubs are just waiting for the English transfer buying window to close. Real Madrid have been suspiciously quiet as have most of the other big clubs.
Has Ramsey signed yet? Been away, but just read that he wants £300k per week, please say we won't give him that.
His agent has denied that....
Courtois has officially joined Real Madrid.
Chelsea get Kovacic on loan. :lol:
71m for Kepa. :wacko:
Never heard of him...
If we left our business late with Leno, Leverkusen would have slapped a £30m £50m price tag on him by now. It's the ripple effect.Quote:

I wish Arsenal were signing Yerry Mina.
He is 23 and 6'5 and could become a great central defender/future captain for Arsenal.
Barca can't wait to get rid of him. He's a bit of a calamity, apparently.Quote:

He would be far better than Mustafi and probably better than Sokratis.
He did quite well in the WC alongside the Spud guy. Almost all.our CBs are highly suspect in their own way. We shouldn't be so.quick to write anyone off.Quote:

Yeah, after like a total of 5 games, they want to get rid of him. So idiotic.Quote:

Shipped out to everton after 6 months is pretty telling.Quote:

Everton winning the Transfer Cup again I see.
I've always thought Andre Gomes is bloody awful.
Talk about throwing on the brakes to hurt momentum and morale. That has to slow them down this season.Quote:

No idea how Liverpool and Chelsea will do this year but suspect they'll definitely be there for the top 4 challenge.
Worst transfer deadline day since... the last one?
Erm... :blink:Quote:

They've been trying to ship out Gomes since they signed him.
It's like getting a supposed Black Friday "deal" that throws in a lot of tat in a bundle to obfuscate the fact you've been well and truly swindled.
Mina had a decent World Cup and was linked to bigger clubs in need of centre-backs, but still ended up at Everton. Barcelona have just signed Lenglet so they're obviously grateful that they've essentially recouped that fee for their unwanted, fifth choice central defender.
Leicester sign Caglar Soyuncu, supposed to be good and linked with us all summer, Leicester might have picked up another bargain.
Overall 6 out of 10 for the transfer window, Torreira was an important one and the young French guy looks to have potential.
Spurs are so determined to be always in Arsenal's shadow that they fail to capitalise on their potential by refusing to spend just like their superiors.
They've obviously got the new stadium, but in this day and age there's so much money in the game that Spurs' miserly ways are even more inexplicable.
Wolves and Fulham on the other hand, have gone utterly mental. At least both those teams should be good to watch.
If Cardiff survive, Colin Wanker deserves a knighthood tbf.
I knew Oblak's value would increase..... but even I didn't think it would be this quickly....Quote:
