Prepare to be pissed off.

Nasri from seeing him in the Cesc roll last season looked outstanding. Everyone slagging Arsenal off, i have no doubts that Arsenal will be there and there abouts next. With Mata and a good CB (Jagielka/Samba) & Wilshere,Ramsey & Vermalaen back to full fitness, Arsenal have a quality side. Not saying they'll win the league but they will be there come the end of the season IMO.

P.S. Mata for 15 million or anywhere near is an incredible deal, makes the Downing and Henderson money look mental.

you forget about Ramsey, I fancy he'll kick on this year for them - they'll be there or there abouts as long as they don't lose Cesc AND Nasri

Arsenal are still very much a top four team.

But a matter (no pun intended) of weeks ago they looked vulnerable with the likes of Cesc and Nasri possibly leaving and Clichy already out.

Now, keep those 2 and add Mata plus a CB to the mix and they will believe the title is achievable.

As someone once said, its a funny old game.

Wonder what Pepe makes of our activity this summer. Not sure it is what he expected, thats for sure.

They will still finish in the top four even without Fabregas. Some of our fans have been talking about them like they are relegation fodder.

They've signed gervinho as well, if they add him,Mata and a decent cb/gk to their current squad then they're a title challenger and champions league qualification gets harder

“Juan is a wanted man in England,” Juan Mata Sr, the player’s father and agent, said. “A number of clubs are after him but he will want to play in the Champions League.”

No i didn't

[Shanks]

****ing hell shanks, have a day off mate.

Should every club just have 11 players or something??

Day off!

Have a word with yerself..

You can only PLAY 11 players..

Given the players we have and how much spent, where is he fitting in week in week out?

It'd be nice to have a multi million pound bench full of players on £100,000 a week.. Just not yet eh..
