Today's the day He clears His desk, isn't it?

Probably number 1 on Arteta's agenda will be to tie the man down to a new career ending contract.

Is it really necessary to be that cruel on a sunny, Friday morning.

Well I say it in jest and really what I mean is that MA’s number 1 priority will be to put the issue to bed – new contract or sold.

Given the paucity of midfield options at the club I suspect we will try to retain him, and correctly so in my view.

If you imagine him playing where Silva and KDB do for City you can imagine it working provided Arteta can teach him some positional sense and he improves his ball retention i.e. loses the silly flicks and gets more physical. Be an interesting one as I think that is his best position.

We should bang an offer in for Alderweireld imo.

Test the ****s up the road's resolve on that situation.

Four new first team players. Four.

Have you seen the state of the transfer market? How much money do you think we have to spend?

Oh, sorry, I forgot your exciting theory that the money available for transfers is infinite because football exists outside the physical boundaries of reality. Silly of me.

Arteta is surely looking at 2-3 minimum, if the midfield issue of Wilshere and Ramsey is not resolved then 4.

It is where we are I'm afraid.

Time for Stan and Ivan to "pony up" as the saying goes.

We have loads of money to spend, the financial statements of the club say so and have done for some years now.

Although you don't need to spend loads of money to get a good player if you know what you're doing. See Mo Salah.

Who was purchased before PSG decided to spend £100m on Neymar, tfr fees have now gone to a new level so to get an established quality player for less than £45m will be rare

You are assuming he will just try to do a carbon copy of City which is fair enough.

Perhaps he has his own ideas to a degree and will look to cut his cloth according to the talents he has.

I would suggest it very unlikely the new Bubble lad will be in the first 11.

Ornstien has spoken!! Allegri still in the mix
