[BobTheCharmer]

some confusion over the kit on here the pic shaggy put is the new kit as seen on arteta last night at the kit launch the one of wiltshire is fake by the looks of it

rubbish. the one shaggy posted had loads of white on the front. the one you posted is same as wilshere one. why is it so ****ing complicated.

shaggy posted two, one with some training kit that people thought was the actual kit and then another with the actual kit. Although the wilshere kit picture has a different trim entirely. LOL.

not really, I don't care enough these days.

I don't think this starting 11 is as good as ours:



Assuming we get Markovic anyway. Id rather Sterling and Sturridge than Walcott and Giroud

[G]

As long as Giroud is up front they'll be winning no leagues.

[Pablo]

He won't be. Wenger is going to play Sanchez as the central striker apparently.

[G]

Remains to be seen if he's prolific enough for that to propel them into contention. As it does for us with Sturridge.

[dww]

Yep he'd be another upgrade. On paper they look strong as **** - the saving grace is they're still **** at the back and Wenger is still being left behind tactically. Gonna cling to that.

I think the '**** at the back' thing is a bit of a myth. They have had some shockers against the big teams but they have had a pretty good record overall in the last few seasons. I think their issues have been partly tactical but mostly in their mentality.

- didn't realise Alexis Sanchez played in defence and midfield?

[Norbs]

Who was it that said Cazorla is the most Welsh looking non-Welsh person?

[~LFCHistory~]

Still have a feeling Sanchez won't change much at Arsenal. Remember they finished 4th a year ago kept all their best players, spent 40m on Ozil and then finished..........4th.
They'll still be weak against the top teams, unable to handle pressure, have a great yet stubborn and ageing manager and they've still got a squad full of injury prone players.

Against the rest they've been fine but had repeated defensive cluster****s against the top teams. I think there'll be more and it will be their undoing once more. I don't rate Debuchy either.

[The_weatherman]

Debuchy isn't an upgrade on Sagna IMO so they're still to improve the back four, but IMO their midfield and attack is pretty good and Wenger seems to be targeting what they need in midfield.

[McDermotX]

Think Debuchy is OK. Not that I'm saying we should go for him, but it puts some things in perspective when I see figures of 8-10m being bandied about for a French international (who is on a long term contract), and 6m/20m for Bertrand/Moreno.
