On the plus side...the next 2-3 transfer windows will be fun with Raul & Sven collaborating with Unai.
Of course we’re not getting any flashy purchases like Virgil Van Dyke but a few more Torreira and Guendouzi types will do for me.
It’s pretty clear we’ll get a centre half in January but the interesting thing will be - what time in January?
Always hated when Wenger waited until the last day to bring someone in when we needed him much earlier.
Ideally we get someone on Jan 1st and then give them their first start a few days later away at Blackpool or Solihull (welcome to England!!). Get him blooded fast.
Mind you I wouldn’t put it past Unai to go left field and give someone like Zechariah Medley a shot...he travelled with the team yesterday so must be on Unai’s radar.
Main reason I’m not tremendously bothered about yesterday is because I accepted long ago that it would take Unai a while to figure out ‘his’ team and to weed out the time wasters / washed up types.
Ozil is all washed up and can go. The club have played a blinder with him because there won’t be any backlash from his pro-Muslim social media following like with Germany in the summer.
Kos needs to retire...he’s like an ageing boxer whose been in one too many wars. It’s time to hang up the gloves. Someone needs to sit with the lad and spell it out for him.
