Neither of them. Not this season anyway. This new chap is a winger so he’ll replace Iwobi.

:nono: I am given to understand by Sir C that wingers no longer exist.

Also, when are we getting a centre-half?

Next season.

Meanwhile the plan is to continue leaking goals while scoring a few more at the other end, thus attracting neutrals to take up all the empty seats with the prospect of enjoying a goal fest. #winning

Yes. You see, none of these signings has done anything to assuage my fear that our beloved leader lacks a coherent plan for what type of team he wants to put out. He came with a reputation for pragmatism, but surely the first thing any pragmatist should do is reduce the number of goals we concede?

:nod: It's classic Arsene behaviour. Is this chap also a midget?

Seriously, though, are our manager and our team of purchasers all singing from the same hymnsheet?

Saliba is no midget tbf. Six foot four with quick feet for a big man.

Still learning his trade. We'll get another centre-half.

Fair play to Raul and Indian Finance guy

All financed by instalments so we’re only spending 45-50m this summer.

Probably explains why no top centre half is joining ie no way Maguire, Tarkowski, Dunk or Koulabaly would leave on instalments.

Also Pepe can play in goal so no point having Martinez on the bench.

More options.

Unai is shroooood

Based on a detailed assessment of two of his YouTube showreels I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the spindly one-footed c*nt will be an unmitigated failure

Rungani on a two year loan with obligation to buy, apparently. So in the next 10 days or so we will sign:

Pepe
Tierney
Rungani
Khederia - Presumably this means that Elneney is off?

Nice.

It's a bit humiliating buying players on tick imo. Have we got a three-year interest-free credit deal, ffs? :-(

In about 20 minutes of footage I literally didn't see him use his right foot once.

Let's hope he comes over to dot the i's and cross the t's on a light aircraft.

I'd say he looks pretty damn good, actually. Does a nice goal on his right foot from a tight angle. First touch is ridiculous. Very skillful, very powerful, very fast.

PSG want him but cannot bid for him due to FFP :hehe:

Always had a soft spot for Boa Morte. There was three quarters of a really good player there.

Mind you, I was unsettled by the fact that his surname was 'Good Death' in Portuguese. :-(

Is there really any question that manu petit was the sexiest footballer in PL history?

Someone tweeted a clip of his cameo in The Bill yesterday. My word.

Having just spent 8 minutes watching a youtube clip of this chap i'm decided that he's the new Demba Ba. A underrated player was Ba, but £70m plus in today's market? Hmmmmmmm.
