Summer transfer joy and happiness

What’s happening? My mouth keeps trying to do this strange, twitchy thing at the corners, and I’m feeling something that isn’t rage or despair? It’s not shame either. What else is there?

Having a stroke?

Isn’t Cahill pretty gettable as a cheap CB.

I know he’s not a worldy, but as a stop gap for a year, he has to be better than Mustavabrainfart

Stroke was my first thought too.

If we fail to offload Mustafi and Kos, then we should definitely look into this.

The 3 musketeers here we come...

The whole attack feels completely reinvigorated this year - not just that first choice front 3, but the supporting cast too. We’ve gone from having no genuine wide options and dribblers income he squad to suddenly having 4 or 5 options to choose from. Even if the younger players represent little more than wildcards that we can bring off the bench for the last 20 to start with, it’s enough to give us more depth, a broader range of playing styles and the options we need to play the shape and system we want.

Plus we don’t have to put up with any Özil’s nonsense now, or worry about Mkhi or Iwobi looking lost out wide. I think a large part of the reason why everyone gets so angry at those guys is because we really couldn’t afford for them not to show up. Because we didn’t have anyone else to pick! But with the additions of Pepe, Ceballos and Martinelli, and the promotions of Willock, Nelson, Nketiah and Saka, it doesn’t feel like as much of a worry.

Get used to it - it’s gonna take a while for the rumour mill to get this out of their system...

Raul + Edu = Arsenal must be after any Brazilian who has ever played for Barca (Malcom, Alvez, Coutinho, etc)

I think Xhaka will still play unfortunately. Either alongside Ceballos in the home games with Ozil in front. Or with Torreira away from home and Ceballos ahead in the no. 10 position.

Positive noises about Mustafi being pushed out though.

He'll probably take his time like with Torreira but the pressure on Xhaka will be good. Guendouzi and Ceballos can take his place if he's making too many mistakes.
