Just won our first trophy of the new season as Beth Mead was voted England’s Women’s Young Player of the Year. Well played Beth.
It is early days in the transfer market. It will be a very busy few weeks as the transfer period has been shortened to conclude on Aug 9th instead of Aug 31st, plus few players will be willing to discuss moving clubs during the World Cup.
We have discussed at length the needs of the team though Emery may well disagree. Do you think it was the new manager who decided the shirt numbers? If so, Cech is our Number One and my hopes of us signing a top quality young GK will be dashed. Perhaps the young GK’s at Arsenal are considered to be good enough to step up the the first team.
How will Emery assess the strength of the squad without actually working with them? He will not get the chance until after the WC and the player’s holiday time. I doubt we will see the Emery effect until after Xmas.
Anyone who watched the France vs Italy game last night will have seen why Lacazette is not in their final 23. Two teenage front men whose combined transfer fees are €400m (yes – €400m) were frighteningly good. Lemar got a short kickabout and our former target looks top quality, though whether he is worth €100m is doubtful. I can see France winning the WC playing some wonderful attacking football, if they don’t it will be due to crap management.
Not much going on, hence the randomness (is that a word) of the post!

Read that Arsenal want to sign a 5ft 6 in winger.Hopefully the new gunner boss know the epl is full of thugs who will not hesitate to injure a diminutive guy thereby reducing the gunners offence.
Thanks Erik
Didn’t know deadline brought forwards to Aug 9, which is both sensible, as well as concentrating the excitement
Now, what’s all this about shirt numbers?
Hector gets the 2, Elneny 4. No 3 or 5 so far

That’s a bit rubbish isn’t it as there’s nothing new 🙂
I was expecting No’s 1-11, with a ? next to 3, 6 and 8
Oh and No1 I suppose
Read a story yesterday about we are keen on dembele that would be a really nice buy
Fred. It all depends upon which Dembele – there are loads of them!
French one from Barcelona, can’t really spell his first name
What emery preferred formation? Think he used 433 at psg
No chance Fred. He cost €150m+ last summer
Cheers, BR.
I’m hoping we’ll see the Emery effect from day one.
It seems likely that a decent core of our players will have a full pre-season.
There should be plenty of time to assess strengths and weaknesses and implement his own ideas as to how he wants the team to play.
Phasing Mesut back into the structure after a post World Cup rest, will be child’s play.
Comfortably in the top 4 by Christmas and mounting a serious title challenge in 2019. Sorted. ☺
On a different note, I’m looking forward to …
victories resulting in the manager getting credit ……
and blame for poor results not automatically being laid at the feet of the manager as Emery will be given some leeway to get his ideas across.
Chas saw u in the line to buy an Iwobi Nigeria jersey, we’re u successful
Erik
Then get a different Dembele. Crikey, not difficult 🙄
Talking of signings, as well as being happy with a Dembele, I’d also be happy with anyone who’s name began N…somethingorother
Now a regret. Just took a big pile of wood and set fire to it with a whoopee, we’ll have a bbq, then just seen England are playing Nigeria and I’d rather watch some football. Damn
Oh noooo, Iwobi is playing. That makes it much much worse. Rain, pleeeeease
Nice finish from Iwobi
despite being a born optimist I don’t think Emery’s effect will be instantaneous. No, I think it could take him a season or two to establish ‘his’ team
only the likes of Mourinho can buy the whole new team during one summer and kick them into a winning mode. More conservative managers take their time
Let’s hope Unai is of the old school type of boy.
Optimist – hahaha hahaha
Mourinho buy a whole new team in one summer and kick them into winning mode – hahahahahaha
I think Emery will be an instant hit. I think about Conté when he came in to Chelsea. He basically inherited that team and only purchased one or two players, with Kanté being the main purchase. As a self-identified optimist as well, I really hope just a new, fresh face with a couple of signings will be an instant success.
Thanks Raddy. I don’t see how UA can fail to make an instant impact. In some ways his job is easy …. solidify the defence, make it clear to every player what you expect of them, get everyone working hard and build a balanced team with a system that works.
Chas
Spooky has just shown his face again as I’ve just been looking up how The Germans deploy Mesut. Pretty sure last WC he was out right a bit, now, in every line up he’s central in a three ie their best player 🙂
The tweet…ha ha 🙂
Micky
Mesut must be one of the top players in the world.
Arsenal Fan TV are talking about selling him.
THAT SUMS IT ALL UP!
Seriously?!?!?!?!
Shall I do a Mesut post
Matchday!
Live on AFC.com
All posts always welcome, Micky…….as you know.
GN5 sent his final best ever seasons post to me several days ago and I haven’t had a chance to format it – must do it today.
The AFTV thing about Mesut was probably a balanced discussion which decided he was unsellable, but as I refuse to read their stuff I’ll never know – hahaha.
eboue 🙂 🙂 168k views!!!
Ozil’s future has been decided before Emery’s appointment. It must have been part of the negotiations.
It would have been a VERY unpopular move from the club to sell our best player. No point getting a good manager and weaken the team. Unless Emery doesn’t want Mezut which again wouldn’t make any sense – how can you not like him?
Nah, Ozil is staying put, I am optimistic.
so far we are linked with 2 defenders, both weird looking – Medhi Benatia 31 and Benjamin Pavard 22. Source – not Daily Mail.
Daily Mail spotted Arsene, his daughter with her boyfriend and ex wife with a wasp between her teeth and probably boyfriends’ parents. Happy families in Cambridge
…Daily mail claim Wenger looked relaxed
me thinks he looks like someone who’d rather look at water than his ex wife 🙂 no love lost there
bye, have a good day
Morning All,
Great stuff chas. What time is the Legends game? Evening I hope
POST SENT
Apologies for not being around to put your post up, Micky.
It was too late to do so by the time I got back.
Tomorrow OK?
Will be early though.
As far as the Wenger photos are concerned….
I know happily married men who would rather stare at water than at their current wives, let alone their ex wives.
This is not sexist as the same applies to happily married women, too.
I wasn’t criticizing just observing
I would much rather stare at pile of dog shit than at a pile of shit that was my husband. Dog shit has more substance
Emery closing on N’Zonzi defending midfielder. Ok, so the press are linking as with EVERY available defender, do they think we need any?
All cool Chas re post. Absolutely whenever, or even never 🙂
Bolleaux. Can’t watch the Legends game as it is for UK users only.
