{Ed033's Note - Don't tell me, you're going to be too out of your head over the weekend to even notice a bottle of catsup.

Ed033,

You should sign Malaga up as an ed.

Imagine the fun we could have with him :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed033's Note - to be sure. it would be like having Shane MacGowan in your pop group.

I think Shane has more teeth mate.

From what I understand we are negotiating for Morata, who I believe wants the deal tied up before the Euros.

He's the kinky type is he RG :-)

Malaga - think you are edging your bets as the Euros start soon so transfers should be happening soon.
Left back and Morata plus Centre defender = happy sy4.

If some of the rumours are true and we might sign ricardo Rodriguez. What do people think to using Monreal as a CB? When used last season did a very good job.

We should sign Rodriguez, as he would be an improvement on either of our LB's. No I wouldn't use Monreal as a CB. We should send Chambers on loan, to enable him to get some valuable experience. We should sell Mertesacker, who simply doesn't have the pace to play in a high line, nor does he have enough physical presence for the PL. We should another CB.

I like Rodriguez and would be happy, I share the same sentiments as you rg69. I think a new Cb is a must. Rodriguez is very arsenal.

Been a while lads, now, this is going to be a long tricky summer, we need a CB, RW, ST i don't understand the fuss about the LB issue because i don't think Gibbs is leaving (at least not this season) So Wenger promised about 3 signings one gone and about two to go (hopefully) some minutes ago i heard our bid for Rodriguez has been accepted which makes me wonder what department does Arsene really wanna strengthen? Our LB position with quality players? Our CB which needs an upgrade on Per and Gabby? Or up top with our injury cursed?

I hope that we will sign Rodriguez, as I am not convinced that either of our left backs are top quality. Gibbs was a superb midfield prospect when he first played for Arsenal. Wenger changed him into a LB, but he has never convinced, particularly defensively. Reports are that he wants to move on to secure regular first team football. If a LB is the second of Wenger's three signings, then cover at RB, must be the third signing, assuming Debuschy doesn't return, Jenkinson has a long term injury and Chambers has been moved to CB.
Assuming the three signings are Xhaka, a RB and a LB, then we still need;
1) A keeper, if Ospina departs, as I doubt very much that we will ever see Szczesny back at the club.
2) A striker, as Welbeck is out for most of next season. Unless, Wenger has decided to use Giroud, Walcott or Akpom in this position.
3) A CB, unless Wenger considers that we have four CB's in Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gabriel and Chambers.
It's going to be a very intersting window, although we have gone into previous seasons short of defensive midfield players and with only 7 defenders, rather than 8 that would provide cover for the entire back four.

Lol rg, Rodriguez? I take it you've not seen him play much.

CS - yes and I was impressed, far better than either option we currently have!

Agree3 Disagree4

02 Jun 2016 19:45:54
I am impressed with him as well.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Jun 2016 18:12:56
He's not very good at all. And he's certainly not better than Monreal.

Agree0 Disagree1

02 Jun 2016 18:22:15
No better than monreal, Rodriguez can't defend for the life of him.

We have far more important positions to address rather than buying another LB, I'm happy enough with nacho n Gibbs.

Has anyone else seen Ramsey's new bleached blonde hair? Looks like a player from the Romanian football in the 1998 World Cup! Sort it out, Aaron.
