Carl Jenkinson is going to have a great season for us.

[Sir C]

Europa League, Carling Cup and FA cup right back. I can feel it in my water.

Errrrr.......We signed Lichtsteiner mate. We’re just waiting for a lower league side to come and take his £50k a week wages off our hands.

Who were the British 5 that we were building around that all signed contracts together? Wilshere, Ramsey and Ox definitely. Jenkinson and Chambers? Or was there someone else?

Gibbs and Jenkinson :hehe:

Assuming we can find someone to take Carl and his Arsenal duvet (we may need to pay part of his 50k wages) that will leave only Ramsey.

Who is now entering the last year of his contract with no word on negotiations at this point. What odds they are all gone by August, I wonder.

I think at this stage I’d put money on Ramsey going rather than staying. Five weeks left of the window and you’d have to assume they’ll give themselves a few weeks to sell him and find a replacement. There’s not much time left for them to get a deal done.

Yes, I agree. Feels like we have an excellent replacement likely to be available in Banega but the real question is who would buy Ramsey and what will they pay for him.

My personal bias and any attempted wind up aside, I think we will be surprised at how little interest there is and what we can get for him.

He's bound to pick up a ban here and there

Must've been quite a shock for Unai. When all the contracted players turned up for the first day of pre-season. He actually got his first close up look at some of the crap Wenger had left lying around.

Jenkinson galloping around the place like a horse that's got loose. Probably find Wellington Silva stuffed in a cupboard somewhere too

Chelsea seems the obvious destination. They’re after that sort of midfielder if you believe the rumours. Juve might be an option but we’d have to sell him on the cheap.

I'm sure Ramsey would be snapped up if he was made available; which is possible given the contract situation.

No worries, we are buying

Benega
Gomes
N'Zonzi
Torriera

If you believe the 'papers.

Doesn't leave much room for the current players...

But hang on. All these players were vetted by the coaching and reserve staff, as well as by the great man, so they must all be very good, according to that swivel eyed loon, Sir C.

Or take Dybala in exchange. Apparently Ramsey is close to a new deal, anyway. He even openly said to the press how much he was looking forward to working with Unai.

Nobody (that matters) has said he’s close to a new deal and whether he’s excited by Emery’s arrival or not is largely irrelevant if we don’t offer him the wages he wants.

[7sisters]

Ramsey has some very good sides to his game. His downfall is when he gets sloppy or leaves other players exposed through his mistakes. Emery strikes me as a manager that will instill greater discipline. Some of the players will adapt, while others who can’t will be f*cked off out the window..

[Tony C]

Not sure I’m liking this.

British core gone and replaced by bunch of Greeks, Germans and two asylum seekers from Gabon and Armenia.

I thought Theo would've also been in there ..
