The new kit is flames

Now please, Arsenal, invest the £100mil+ from shirt sales on getting a pacey winger or two to supply this man.

We've just bid £40mil for Zaha. Going to transfer £1 to Arsenal to seal it.

Arsenal hasn't been a "destination" team in over 8 years ...actually after Henry left. I hope nice things happen to this team this/next season, But hope is not a strategy.

Lol it's usually the hope that kills every season.

As for this latest rumour, no way we'll get it across the line, as CP value him closer to £100mil, and we'd also have to pay 25% of that to United because of a sell-on clause.

Think we should focus on getting in a new negotiator: we still haven't signed Tierney...

/looks to see if it was perhaps a rumour or a signing

/shock horror/
We made a signing, oh wait its a forward and a fetus who'll probably be loaned out.

We should just resign ourselves to a tea pot team type of role and not hope for too much. It takes money to play with the big boys and we just aren't in the same league with them anymore. We also don't have the mental wherewithal to pull off a miracle on a shoe string budget.

Like I've said to coworkers who are Mancs and Scousers (strangely, the company I work for is in London...) I'm not under any illusion that we're a team that's going to challenge for the EPL or the CL anytime soon. We're a top 6 side, and will be fighting with the likes of Wolves, Everton and United for that honour for at least a few more seasons to come.

It took me a while to realise that, sadly - I would get hyped in preseason, only to inevitably be let down the following May. And it wasn't the club's fault, really - it was mine. I was used to excellence at the club for so many years that I'd left the bar that high, and got vexed when we got nowhere near it. We bagged three FA cups along the way, but it hit home when every team around us crumbled, and we still finished behind Leicester...

So yeah, we're not a "top side" anymore. Top 6, yes, title challenging, no. And we won't be until we get an owner who doesn't siphon every available penny out of the club. Football is officially a fantasy league played by billionaires now - but Kroenke hasn't caught onto that yet.

So Kos, our CAPTAIN, has refused to travel with the squad for our preseason tour to the US.

The club have issued an official statement, but haven't gone into any details.

He's probably looking to force a move, but wouldn't go for free as he still has a year left on his contract.

This is a bit of a **** up tbh, because it means we're going to have to hang onto Mustafi (Saliba is pretty much done, but has to be loaned back for another season as part of the deal).

Schitt way to soil your Arsenal legacy though! He can **** right off for all I care as long as we get paid for the last year of his contract.

The entire backline needs an overhaul anyway. Get rid of everyone bar Bellerin if he recovers and bring in new personnel. But that's a dream - they'll probably just paper over the cracks and carry as previous campaigns

Going to be difficult in this window. We're going into the new season with no real cover anywhere at the back the way things stand.

With only 40 million to spend, when we need 250 - 300 to spend ...

Going to be a very rough ride this year ... , as if the previous years, where not rough enough. :(
