RocktheCasbah

I have to say, I consider myself one of the more relaxed members of this forum (of course I do), but even I'm looking at our start to the season - and Declan, David & Bukayo only just coming back to the group - and starting to feel a little antsy about it. But I'm sure there are things happening we don't know about yet.

Claudius

RocktheCasbah you saw how Martinelli jumped into the preseason game with barely a warm up. Saka and Rice will play 1-2 warm up games and go. These players don’t drink like our 90s boys. They stay fit all year.

MistaT

I'm not worried.

Declan and Saka are troopers, they'll be ready to play.

Would imagine we'll see Jorginho (fit/rested) at the base of the midfield to start the year. He's the type of player who keeps a relatively high floor and will build your team's foundation. From there we can introduce Merino and customize Rice's role so find our ceiling.

Odegaard will also be well rested, so we can help ease in Rice with limited minutes.

Mirth

Claudius if anything Rice and Saka need more time away, not less.

Claudius

Mirth they’re all back in training now. FIFA and UEFA want all the players dead

flobaba

We really need that Saka back up in place and ready for the new season. Else it will all end in tears.

Claudius

flobaba we had one all preseason

Mirth

flobaba think we’re going to see Martinelli on the right more often this season

flobaba

Claudius tears it is then.
Arteta has shown he will not play who he does not trust unless he has no choice. Unless we intend to break Saka we had better figure it out fast.

Qwiss

Mirth yup, looked like that to me towards the end of last season. Arteta tried him there a few times. I was hoping that meant we were after a top left sided player though.

CPM

Our net spend is roughly £40m with Calafiori and Raya in and ESR out. Merino will likely take that to about £65m.

Last year's net spend was about £143m and the year before £140m. Not exactly sure what our budget is but not hard to see how we might be cutting it close with PSR.

What can we sell Kiwior, Nketiah, and Nelson for? It seems like we may need to get decent fees for all three if we're gonna be able to buy a serious attacking player.

Don Pacifico

CPM yeah, I feel like some people forget the significant outlays we were making in consecutive season without CL football. Those chickens were always going to come home to roost at some point.

Hoping this summer is when we change our perception as lazy negotiators.

Qwiss

If we are out of money then we've really only ourselves to blame. We've over paid on a lot of players, especially when it comes to wages. The fact is we are coming off the back of a CL season. If anything we should have more money.

Claudius

This season our Champiions League cash kicks in. Our wages are line with our rivals. We were third highest after renewing all those contracts, and still about 15% off the top teams. Other than Partey, we are getting good wage efficiency.

Clrnc

This guy is just scoring goals for fun. Will anyone take a punt on him?

MistaT

Fair number of pens….but yeah, seems his form has gone up a level.

MistaT

Gyokeres shredded Lille

For the latter video, don't mind the first (awful) 15 seconds...it picks up.

Clrnc

lorddulaarsenal @jones thoughts pls

jones

Clrnc he's class but still a bit raw. All action midfielder reminiscent of a young Ramsey maybe in how he pops up everywhere and can run for days, I'd even say he has the more consistent first touch.

Positioning and concentration aren't there just yet but he's just turned 20, had a dip in form and rode the bench late last season but a fixture this season again and looks in top form right now

samthegooner

Need a distraction during a boring conference call at work so been thinking of my ideal summer next year (understanding its due to change many times over the course of the year).

Outgoings: Partey (contract end), Jorginho (contract end), Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus, Nelson, Vieira, Kiwior

Incomings: Sesko, Kvaratskhelia, Kudus, Hato, Joan Garcia.

——————————————————Raya/Garcia
JT/White———Saliba/White/Tomiyasu—Gabriel/Tomiyasu/Hato———Cali/Hato/MLS
————————————Rice/Merino/MLS
——————Ode/Nwaneri/Kai—————Kudus/Kai/Merino
Saka/Kudus/Trossard———Sesko/Kai/Trossard——Kvara/Martinelli/Trossard

Let's win the quadruple.
