Not related to Friday Rh mate as I was watching Grujic for the first time this year in Berlin, but as a general poimt Arsenal need a **** of a lot more than a RW.

I totally ovesold them getting back the top 4 the summer. They’re in a massive mess and need serious surgery. WC attack. Meh to good midfield. Relegation standard defence and goalkeeper. By far and away the worst of the top 6. As much as yoo can see what Emery’s trying to do, he’s in a complete no win situation with such a poor group.

Squad needs a complete overhaul. With minimal money to spend and repeated mediocre buys the little they do invest.

Agree Scouse. Think the Emery hate is harsh, he's worked mini-wonders to have this lot within a sniff of top 4 imo. Not a great deal between the overall quality of Everton & Arsenal imo. Take out Aubameyang/Laca and you'd near call it even-ish.

Need a GK, 2x CB's, a CM and a RW.

GK
Bellerin, New CB, New CB (although maybe the Mavropanos kid will be good), New LB
Torreira, New CM/DM (you won't win anything/do anything significant with Xhaka. How can your DM be a luxury player? Lol. Defeats the entire purpose of a DM)
Ramsey (think it's crazy they're letting him go on a freebie)
New RW, Laca, Aubameyang

On this point, they need to strike gold like Liverpool did with Suarez/Coutinho. Sign talented, lesser known players, hope they develop how you wished, and sell them off to one of the giants for silly money. Torreira looks like a potential 100M CM if he continues to develop. Could maybe **** Bellerin off for 50+M to Barca and develop AMN there and use that money elsewhere on the pitch?

Whatever the case, they've let Alexis Sanchez & soon to be Aaron Ramsey leave the club for £0. That's unforgivable. Liverpool have earned like near 100M the last few years from selling mediocre British players to Bournemouth & co. ffs.

Conpletely F themselves with the ground. Tottenham are doing the same thing now. Too much massive overspend/ borrow all in one go.

Commit to one project at a time, coming out of your own money, that doesn’t impact the product.

This is quite an interesting watch and helps explain the current financial restrictions at arsenal:

How much! :O

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Juventus in the summer in a deal will earn him just over £400,000 a week.[bbc]
 
Wow been away from here a long time, but in a sense not much has changed tbh.

Good to see you back mate, what you making of Emery so far?

Thanks! Been about couple times to see what's what, but mostly due to work have been limited to just watching the games when I have time and then occasionally going for Milan games at San Siro as my work has taken me to live near there. Now again move ahead of me and this time to London so I will, at last, have the chance of seeing Arsenal live more than just a couple times a season.

Well while I don't agree with everything that has been going on I think he has done quite a good job so far considering what he has had to work with. He will need at least two more proper transfer windows to get some of the current players out and replace with players who work better for us. The team he inherited is quite good going forward especially with Lacazette and Aubameyang but in defense, much work needs to be done to really push on. Özil problem needs also be solved and by looks of it, he will be out in summer most likely.

Now let's just see how this season ends. On paper, we have a favorable run left compared to United and Chelsea to finish on top 4 and apart from that expect a strong push in Europa League also.

Outside of the pitch need to sort out the DoF sooner the better.
 
DISGUSTING!

It was a MUST WIN GAME!

Goodbye CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ... & Let`s get real : we`ve got no chance of winning EUROPA LEAGUE!
 
Edu Gaspar is set to become new Arsenal technical director starting from next July, after Copa America (he currently works as general coordinator of the Brazil National Football Team). He’ll have a new meeting with #AFC soon to complete the agreement and then he’ll sign.

Said it when they played in Azerbaijan in the group stages a nation should not be able to host a UEFA final if it does not allow for people from all member nations to visit the nation to play in the game. Even though Mkhitaryan isn't a key player for Arsenal its not right that they might not be able to have a player there due to a decades old diplomatic row that everyone knew would still be happening when the final occurred. I assume he will likely end up playing but it is just an extra distraction that Arsenal shouldn't have to deal with.

Why Mkhitaryan will (most likely) not go to the Finals of the Europa League in Baku
 
UEFA being UEFA i'm sure there were bribes involved when picking the location, but truth being told Baku is amazing location for a final.

Yer joking aren’t yer?

Looks a great City but its beyond a scandalous venue for a final. Its basically in Asia for a start. Which is a joke in itself for a European final.

6 thousand tickets per club for 2 clubs that don’t travel in great numbers will be just about right for Baku with the costs and logistics of getting there.

There’s ONE direct flight a week from the UK for 1,500 notes or so. And very limited options from elsewhere, Won’t be doing that for leas than £6/700 minimum on flights. Serious pain to get to.

Absolute disgrace to hold it there. As brilliant a place as Baku looks.
