Only tabloid rubbish but wouldn’t bentancur be amazing.

I may be wrong sano but i think we will move a few out before we buy our next player. Or at least, be in the process of.

Depends who wants Aaron as possible part exchanges might be open to us.

Can only see signings if Ramsey or Welbeck move on.
Sales/ releases:
Ospina
Jenkinson
Campbell
Akpom
Iwobi
Chambers - Ordinary beyond belief!

In January:
Mustafi sold and replaced.

RG61 chambers just signed a new deal so he is not going anywhere. Campbell Jenkinson and Akpom would only get pennies for them. Ospina maybe 8-10Mill I guess, Iwobi maybe around 15Mill. So I think in order for another decent player to come in we would need to sell Ramsey and/ or Mustafi and also possibly Wellbeck which are players we could get a bit more cash for. So a lot depends on if Ramsey signs a new contract or not. If he signs on I can't see us really making any more signings.

RyanP - Yes, I know Chambers has just signed a new deal, but I don't rate him and would sell him.
The others may not achieve particularly high fees, but I feel should be moved on, as we have quite a full squad.
The reason we may have to sell Ramsey and/ or Welbeck is that are entering the last year of their current contracts and can leave for nothing at the end of their contract, whilst we should be able to get decent fees for them in this window and replace them.

Remind me of this next May.
Mu top predictions for next season is both Elneny and Chambers will increase their personal ratings amongst the majority of Arsenal fans and neutrals over the next season under Dick.
I'm split between the two as to who will be considered most improved by the end of next season, just think both have so much more to give than we've seen from them so far and strike me to have a really good attitude.

{Ed002's Note - Mu? Merrell Fankhauser?}

:-) Ed002
I think that's who I must have meant :-)

Having watched yesterday's macth, albeit against Borehamwood, it was noticeable that the players already look fitter, more committed and confident. I believe that Emery will improve many of the players. However, I am sceptical in regards of Chambers, hopeful I will be proven wrong.

I feel exactly the same way about Xhaka and think this time next year he will be at a different club, I just don't see the potential other than the occasional long shot or long pass which is no where near enough youve got to have a lot more than that to be a premier league player at any club let alone one hoping to compete at the top.
But time will tell and I hope to eat humble pie and admit he was much better than I thought he was and that I just couldn't see it
Chambers and Elneny for me have the ingredients but just not the right recipe at the moment which I hope Dick will give them.

RG you seem to have an unusual tendency to pick solely on Chambers. He was a bit part player hardly the main cause of our problems. He was only given a chance when someone was injured in an unsettled defence. I can't see him making the grade, but he's still young, he might, xhaka was a regular and more of a cause of our problems and he's also got a new contract, so it seems everyones getting a fresh start 😊.

15 Jul 2018 15:02:59
I think Chambers has the attributes of a decent CB just not the know how to use them correctly Eden which is something I hope he will learn under Dick plus I think Elneny is a Jack of all trades master of none at the moment, he isn't quite good enough anywhere at the moment but he will always give you 100% whatever you ask him to do, if Dick gives him a speciality role to work on and play in I think he might well surprise a few people next season because he certainly has the heart for it and that's the hardest bit put there if it doesn't already exist while fine tuning is much more teachable.

Poor Danny -

"Unai Emery punishes Arsenal striker Pierrre-Emerick Aubameyang for missing chances in training"

Bet he's nervous about returning to training if he looks om Arsenal.com 😂😂.

Be good for him mate the introduction of accountability will be good for all our players, the absence of molly codling excuses made for them when the fail to produce the required standard and simply telling like it really is can't possibly do Danny or anyone else any harm.
No more blaming refs or the fans for the players and manager failings but simple and honest evaluation of what really happend will be a very welcome change that can only be good for everyone long term.
