It's great that he is well respected within the man city structure but at arsenal he won't have pep's backing. I just worry that some ego's within the team might not give him the necessary chance to prove his worth. Would Arteta command that respect by himself?

Who ever get's the job I will support and back, I just worry that this is a bigger job then people think and it will need a strong character to get us challenging again.
And that signing would be very uninspiring. 30 before next season starts and hasn’t been great this season.
 
Gutted not to see Lacazette in World Cup. Tottaly worth the call. And no Laporte also...

Tbh good for Arsenal. Just Ospina, Xhaka, Elneny, Ozil, Iwobi and Welbeck going so most of the squad will have proper pre-season.

He's not better than Griezmann/Mbappe. Not a target man (Giroud) which is what Deschamps wants. Was unlikely to get the call.
 
If Arsenal only has that budget. There only gonna fall further behind. And Arsenal fam TV will be great again next season :)

Arsenal close to appointing boss, next week likely. Start of continental model: head coach slots into predefined structure, will contribute to recruitment decisions & have veto. Transfer targets were discussed with interviewees, pre-sales budget ~£50m #AFC https://bbc.i
 
Better option than Dembele or Thauvin

winger and support forward, and not better. Dembele is a generational talent. He's keeping Martial & Coman out of the squad, and can be no complaints because he's just that talented.

Where the F are these mad rumours coming from that Barcelona want to off-load him 1 season in?

Aside from a good chunk of whatever they got going straight to Dortmund to pay off what they still owe, why would anyone think they'd bin such a talent after a season?

Few reports he’s not really settled. Had a few injuries and less game time once Griezmann signs.
 
Wow, 50 million? You gonna give Arteta or Henry that? I'm guessing the players we have fit "their" systems (aka Arsenal system) so no need to loosen purse strings?

Sounds like a way that companies minimize risk when bringing in new management....

Maybe a few sales to bump up the kitty?

Or the might have learned that flaunting all the money they've saved up isn't really a good thing when negotiating with clubs and players.

Still, I will be surprised if net spends is over 70 million.

Agreed, I don't think we really need to spend any more on forwards. A centre back and centre mid should be the priority. It will be interesting to see what happens with wilshere and ramsey and if they sign new deals.

I think Wilshere contract is done deal. Ramsey will either sign a new contract or be sold so. Yeah I agree new CM and CB is needed, but first priority for me would be getting in a new goalkeeper.

Yer I was thinking about the goalkeeper, for me it would depend on how much cash we have. I think cech/ospina could work for 1 more year if they are both happy. It would be my third purchase for me. Just think cb and cm are more vital at the moment.
