Jeez was great until that poxy WC in winter in Qatar. Ødin was injured deliberately by some donkey during a meaningless friendly. This is beyond a joke now.

Well.....Saliba could be out for a couple of months. Wouldn't be the worst thing. He'd miss the start of the season but he would at least get a proper break. None of these guys are going to make it through a whole season without breaking down. Rice, Saliba, Saka- they are going to need a break.

Just seen Trossard arriving in Turkey

I know it is probably the sensible move for the club but I didnt want him to leave....

I liked him as well, Peter. But I thought his lack of athleticism stood out like a sore thumb in the CL final. He just isn't fast or powerful enough at the highest level. He's also shown a propensity for being a bit of a diva when he's not starting and if we're going to win the league again and hopefully the CL, we need better

Arteta and Berta are not blind nor deaf, they know they need reinforcements for all these knackered WC players. Tzoli, Guimareas and Alvarez on their way....... However, Merino, Havertz and Zubi can't really be tired after the long injury lay offs and benchwarming duties for Spain. Timber, Calafiori and Mosquera will be ready from the off too, as well as Dowman, Gyokores and Nelli....thats the line-up for the Charity Shield sorted then????

Nwaneri back, MLS nicely rested.

And Madueke will be exhausted after a long World Cup so we hopefully wojt see too much of him early on.
