Yeah I'm not too hyped up about Banega. Good player but was a flop at Inter. Perhaps we don't need someone to play the Santi role. We'll never know what Emery's formation will be. From the first preseason game and perhaps the clash against City then we can tell we need who. For now I think the squad still needs some beefing up in the **. I got a feeling Emery might go with 3 CBs with Lichtsteiner, Mustafi and Sokratis. Something like how Walker operates for England in the 3-man defence. We'll have to wait and see.

The young Greek defender might get his chance too which is why we have gotten sokratis.

Old Greek to mentor the young Greek.

Monreal might be sold given that he has only one year contract left and good to cash on him. It will be a pity as he is the player of the season for me.

I'm quite impressed by Torreira. Very disciplined player. No nonsense type.

Sign him up!

So Torreira is settled

Report says 55k per week only

Willshere off to West Ham. That frees up 110k per week

Next step is to get Ramsey to sign his new contract

Awesome signing! So far I am extremely satisfied with the signings. Will be awesome if we can get 1 more good wingers. If cannot, then I don’t mind seeing some youngsters

Our next year lineup

Leno
Bellerin Mustafi Papastathopoulos Kolasinic
Torriera
Ramsey Xhaka
Mkhitayan Ozil
Abumeyang

I think ok because Mkhitayan and Ozil can play there. The last time wenger signs a world class dm, arsenal won’t the premier league

Like one of the bros said here, he nullified Ronaldo in the R16 and took almost all of Uruguay’s set pieces. Definitely a talent. Surprised we gotten him at a bargain in the current market.

But then again it depends how Emery uses him also. If Wenger was still in charge I’m sure he’ll implore Torreira to attack more and then his weaknesses will be in show. Like how Wenger did to the MF destroyer Coquelin. Hope Emery plays him as the anchor only. Then maybe play Ramsey as the box-to-box CM with Ozil getting the freedom to roam behind the front 3.

Still shocked about the whole Wilshere situation. Seems like Pep was right all those years ago sia. Wilshere is a just good player. But doesn’t stand out when compared to the youngsters at the Catalan youth team.

And wtf Ronaldo off to Juve for 88m pounds. Done deal. This transfer will have a huge impact for other big potential transfers like Hazard, Neymar, Mbappe and etc. For once we are not involved and can sit back and get the players we need that are not influenced by this saga.
