June 14, 20187 yr Depending on how far certain teams go both Chelsea and Scott could be without some of their biggest stats to start the year. One can hope.

June 19, 20187 yr definitely excited about this signing. we really needed a new keeper and the guy is very talented. coming off a less than ideal year, but should be a great add to the team.
June 19, 20187 yr so sad. the whole lost is three pages long if you want to read it. 17 years at the club. gonna miss you jack.
June 25, 20187 yr whoops. haha: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5883611/Arsenal-mocked-new-managers-head-blocks-letters-club-magazine-cover.html
June 29, 20187 yr Chambers signs a new deal. good move. he has pretty decent potential from what i can tell. good athlete like Koscielny. good going forward like Koscielny too. I hope he turns into another (wait for it) Vermaelen. https://twitter.com/bbcsport_david/status/1012649582533185537?s=20 Edited June 29, 20187 yr by Goo Punch

June 30, 20187 yr Author Yeah, well Lucas Perez is being brought back in and I love Per as the Academy Manager. Got to get that dna in the youth. Seruously, though, I have no problem with any of Emery’s moves so far. I think he’s probably looking for one or two more transfers as people get out of World Cup. Also, I am perplexed by the pronunciation of his Spanish surname (or however they do it) is Etxegoien.
June 30, 20187 yr I just have the sads about Santi. He was my (and my young son’s) favorite Gunner and we keep hoping he’d see the pitch again for Arsenal. I don’t think I’m going to tell the boy, he has a birthday in a few days and it will bum him out.
July 6, 20187 yr Ornstein confirms Torreira. Great signing. https://twitter.com/bbcsport_david/status/1015275996071759872?s=20
July 8, 20187 yr been some rumors that Lorient 19 year old Matteo Guendouzi, and some guy who apparently knows everything about french transfers says it will be announced this week.

July 9, 20187 yr The Ornacle has spoken: https://twitter.com/bbcsport_david/status/1016216388657205248?s=20
July 10, 20187 yr latest hit rumor is that a 16 year-old LB is leaving Barcelona to join Arsenal. Apparently the kid already announced that he's leaving Barca and most think that he's heading for Arsenal. Also, I'm expecting Torreira and maybe even the other kid to be announced today.
July 11, 20187 yr Don't get me wrong, I love me some Wenger, but this is a very un-Wenger-like summer transfer window, and I'm okay with that.
July 11, 20187 yr Not the flashiest signings, but seem to be smart moves. I really hope Torriera pans out . . . we have been wondering in the wasteland without a defensive mid for a decade now.

July 13, 20187 yr On 7/11/2018 at 4:12 AM, Goo Punch said: I was watching a YouTube compilation of his play and he has a Rabiot vibe to his game. (Height, hair, and passing ability from the central midfield all come into play.) He seems to play deeper than Rabiot and makes more outlet passes than final passes, but with the purchase of Torreira, who is also very young, perhaps they see Matteo eventually playing further up the pitch. He has a grace about him and sees the field very well. Some of his highlights look like a younger, skinny Zizou... with David Luiz's hair and much less anger.
July 13, 20187 yr ^ Who was the first keeper with the great saves? He's not the starter, is he? It's still Cech, no? Also... PUSH UPS? 😂

And new signing Brend Leno will likely be the starter. I'm of the opinion that Ospina has been better than Czech for a while and he's still here too.

I'm of the opinion that Ospina has been better than Czech for a while and he's still here too. The stocky brown haired guy was Argentine? (Why the fuck wasn't he in the World Cup squad over Caballero!! 😡) Skinny lighter-haired guy must not be Brend Leno, because he looked young and the weakest of the three (including Cech). It will be an interesting year for Arsenal and the EPL in general. Unfortunately Man City's bench will be filled with £40 million+ acquisitions, so the likelihood of them having a slump is not very strong. I'll be interested in seeing how the two kids, Torreira (short as fuck but very good) and Guendouzi (young as fuck and will have to adjust to speed/physicality of the EPL) do. CORRECTION: The keeper that I thought looked the best turned out to be David Ospina. I looked up the Arsenal roster and saw their images. I was talking about the stockier, darker-haired guy. Ospina was doing some Spider-Man reflexes shit at the start of that clip. Edited July 13, 20187 yr by Napoleon
July 14, 20187 yr wow, this is highlight reel stuff. we just pulled off some incredible tiki taka followed by a beautifully lobbed ball from AMN getting buried by Auba. 2-0 Arsenal.
