I know what you mean by him doing too much. He needs to simplify his game, that will come with maturation/experience. I hope he develops well in Germany.

Also what do you think of Rafinha, in terms of his future at Barca (at least for this season)? I know injury has been a real set back for him. There's a lot of competition for even bench positions, Suarez, Gomes, etc

I think Rafinha's future will always be at Camp Nou as long as Lucho is around. He likes Rafinha's versatility & willingness to do whatever. He's also a hard worker. He was playing well before he got injured last campaign & then was kind of spotty the back half of the campaign when he came back. The whole team was really.

It will be interesting to see what Lucho does with all the players he has available to play in the midfield. I wanna see how he plugs in Gomes & Turan...

Psk what are your thoughts on stealing back Bellerin

Pls...don't....
The idea of him leaving to Barca is just

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I'd looove to get Bellerin but since team already has Aleix Vidal, I don't think that will happen. Think the Lucho will play Vidal more this campaign to see what the guy can do. At least thats what I think he should do at least. Sergi Roberto played pretty well at right back last campaign. His actual defending was pretty solid. Plus I don't think Arsenal would sell him nor did it seem he wanted to leave London.

I'm hoping that Wenger opts for Campbell on the right along with Alexis and Ramsey in front of Xhaka and Elneny to start off. I'm worried we're about to trot out there with a Holding Chambers partnership at CB, but maybe Wenger decides to let Koscielny play. Theo can start up top, but Akpom can be a useful sub this game. I'm honestly not expecting much first game, three of our best players are out.

I think based off last season Joel has definitely earned starts but I just know Wenger is going to go with ox because he's healthy right now lol. I also see him going with elneny next to shaka and I hope akpom at least gets 10 minutes to see how he does against a quality side. I hear ya on the 3 players out but I think we can still do it since they have a few out themselves, we have the quality and starting the season with a W I feel is a must just to set the tone right

I believe there's a rule that if you pay a certain amount for a foreign player, they can quality for a work permit, I see this rule being mentioned on reddit a lot but I don't think we paid enough to meet it.
Hopefully the Olympics gives him enough credit as a special talent to allow for a work permit. I'm not sure what other criteria they look at aside from having played a certain amount of games for the national time. I do hope that Japan goes through the next round so we can see more of Asano.

I was pretty much thinking the same thing. But I do wonder if Wenger would put Gibbs or Debuchy at CB
Cech
Bellerin-Chambers-Holding-Moneral
Xhaka-Coquelin
Ox-Rambo-Iwobi
Alexis

hopefully, he has a fox in the box thing going. For the backline, I'm thinking the same, maybe a chance he puts nacho in the middle too

Chelsea going after Icardi?

I think Wenger will go for the more defensive midfield, between Coquelin and Elneny, I think it will come down ball movement as the deciding factor. We all know how Klopp likes to get his teams to press.

There's the possibility that Wenger goes with the wide players that offer more defensively. Our fullbacks and holding mids will have to work hard to provide cover for our CBs

It would be nice to see Akpom get some minutes against Pool. He had a very good preseason

Chelsea going after Icardi?

Icardi Costa scumbag bro's up front

 

[ROYGBiV]

Wtf do teams see in Icardi?

 

[mastamind89]

Wtf do teams see in Icardi?

He's quick, strong, technique, has an eye for goals...especially considering his supporting cast at Inter hasn't been great. Plus there aren' that many young strikers with potential available.

 

[PRIME]

29mil + world class offer from Arsenal

Can't wait to cop a Giroud inter shirt


Chelsea gave up on Lukaku

 

[Beans]

He has helped get them 2 CL trophies, hell yeah. Major impact when healthy.

you're answering that with hindsight.. people in here were calling him a bust a yr ago..

 

[ROYGBiV]

I've seen him play before when he was at Sampdoria You're right about both things, he is good and there aren't many strikers to go after. I just can't believe the market is so dry that teams want him so bad.

Hell yeah. Son went super sayian his last year at Spurs. He warranted that price based on his ability alone

super sayian with 26 goals? I'm not knocking bale, and i would have been ok with united paying his fee too, but if you're going off ability then the pogba transfer makes sense too. I'll remind you all madrid broke the transfer record on a juventus MF at one point too.. a mf who only scored 6 goals that yr

all these fees just makes that suarez deal seem like such a steal man . too bad he's a ****

 

[d3si]

On the pitch, I like Icardi's game. I won't deny his skills. 43 goals total in the last two seasons without any strong supporting casts. Impressive

Off pitch? At first, I thought it was disgusting when I heard that Icardi broke the bro code. I haven't heard about Icardi cheating on his wife or anything bad. Heck, they look happy. Maybe they truly love each other. But stealing your mentor/friend's wife and kids in the front of you isn't definitely a cool thing to do in my book

It's crazy how dry the market is. Icardi was def not in my top 5 strikers that I would have gone after at the beginning of the window. If Arsenal signed him, I wouldn't be that bothered.

They do look happy but how it came about that's something that will follow him. Whether he cares about it or not, people will always talk about it. If and when he goes to a new club, other players will know that about him
