Not 300k Luxury though. Would rather ship him out for Zaha

We've performed well against them lately. Emery has a bit of a mental edge over poch i think

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Do they still have Sissoko?

Can't handle the thought of their midfield monsters again FFS. And they have Ndombele in addition now.

lorddulaarsenal

I don’t think Emery sees Torreira as a starter no

They are thuggish but we can definitely get at their shorty fullbacks

We can certainly outplay them, and we did twice last season.

But yeah, they play a horrible game.

[font=Source Sans Pro]He is not going anywhere.. I actually think we might see the 'good' Ozil this season. Having 2 proper ball carriers in the team is going to give a lot more space for everyone and Ozil can be great at exploiting it.. He always played better when Sanchez was on form. Also he doesn't have it in him to be the main man, this will further help him playing a support role.

Id prefer him out wide though with Auba up top. Ozil will always be inconsistent but if he can have more good games than bad, will be really good for the team.. needs to get his attitude right though

Maybe if we let Mendes find new clubs for Mustafi and Ozil he may be able to get rid of them.

Mendes is not interested in helping Emery.
He is interested in lining his pockets which means big contracts.
Any club signing a non-performing 30yr old on £350k a week is not paying a penny for him.
10% of zero equals zero so zero interest will be his answer to you.

Mendes runs football. A call from Raul to break a four-way tie nets him 9m pounds in a weekend. That's a man who creates value. Mostly for himself.

And you know that no club will pay a transfer fee how, unless you’re a super agent? I mean that’s the whole point of hiring someone like Mendes, he may be able to use his contacts to get some movement.

I'd like to see if a Xhaka/Torreira - Cebellos - Ozil midfield three would work. Would be the most technically capable midfield we've had since Cazorla left the club.

Claudius

If you like all your midfielders and have fullback depth, you can also try the 4-diamond-2.
You could deploy

------------ Ozil----------
Ceballos -------Torreira
-------- Xhaka -----------

lorddulaarsenal

The most technically able midfield trio we could field would be

————————Guendouzi
—————-Ceballos———Willock

Claudius

We aren't getting Mendes to shift Ozil.
It was worth us getting Mendes because we want Pepe so badly. We are allegedly willing to add 9m pounds to the 72m pound transfer fee to get the player.
In the Ozil case we want to get rid of 18m pounds per year fees. Getting Mendes would only add to that bill and reduce the upside. We are best off convincing him he wants to go and working the phones to teams that will be willing to pay most of that 18m pounds/year.

TambourineMan

Assuming we tie up Tierney, how long will it be before we can field the following defence?

-Bellerin - Holding - Sokratis - Tierney

Bellerin - end of September?
Holding - back in training - realistically starting games again by end of August?
Tierney - zero clue

Anybody have more information on this?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I wouldn't expect Rob to make an appearance until at least mid September.

Likely start games like this, when everyone’s fit

——————Leno
Bellerin—Sokratis—Holding-Tierney
—————-Xhaka
———Ceballos—-Iwobi
—Pepe—-Lacazette—Auba

Iwobi positioned back in the middle would be so good to watch

Jed

Ceballos can play from the left wing:

Leno

Bellerín Sokratis Holding Tierney

Torreira Willock

Pépé ------------------- Ceballos

Lacazette

Auba

Emery's team? Looks like it still very much features Xhaka and Mkhitaryan. I'm so pleased.
