Serge Gnabry, Joel Campbell and Lukas Podolski, who have all been linked with moves away from Arsenal, have been selected in the champions league qualifiers squad coming up in a week or so.

Notable, but obvious absentees are; David Ospina and Theo Walcott. Other than that, we have a full strength team to choose from; including the Germans.

This doesn't mean the above three players won't be leaving of course but it's an indication that Wenger will keep them. Although Gnabry could be loaned out after the qualifiers as whoever he joins won't be in the CL.

I think i'm right, if a player leaves his place can be used with another.

Agree0 Disagree0

Höwedes, Manolas, Agger and Bonucci (the italian is really poor in a 4 men defending line).
Is our next CB in the list above or it will be a mr. X?

Debuchy is already in my heart, what a crosser/fighter!

Now i'm not 100 percent sure on how realisable this person is so don't get your hopes up guys. But the person that was throwing Sanchez's name around before all that came about is saying something big may happen soon. As I said I'm not sure how realisable he is but he was saying he heard things was going well with either carvalho or Martinez. Thought il share with u guys anyway. Any eds have any new info on these?

Believable5 Unbelievable5

{Ed025's Note - it seems to change by the day D16, howedes is the name today..im sure it will be another tomorrow..

12 Aug 2014 15:10:09
I believe he can play cb and lb. which I would love because I'm unsure on Monreal at lb let alone cb lol

Agree1 Disagree0

For me its martinez / carvalho or no one at cdm

Agree0 Disagree0

Mirror reporting arsenal have made an offer for kostas manolas. Any truth in this eds?
Anyway I was watching the highlights again and I kind of felt bad for sanogo. He set up the 2 goals and both santi and Rambo kinda avoided celebrating with him. Or maybe i'm just overthinking it! Any one else felt so?

Believable3 Unbelievable7

{Ed025's Note - nothing this end on manolas yet G4L, and i think you are looking for something that is not there with sanogo mate..

12 Aug 2014 14:56:36
I agree, when Ramsey scored he completely ignored Sanogo pleased someone sees and thinks the same.

Agree1 Disagree0

I totally agree and I was there.
poor Sanago seems to get a wide berth from the senior players. never saw much love when he scored 4 against Benfica. It seemed his best mate was Joel Campbell.
let's see what happens when he starts scoring a hatful in the Prem.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep, I saw that too. Shame. It will change if he turns up this season

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep I felt same, especially after rambo's goal

Agree0 Disagree0

New rumours of howedes this morning, agger talk still sticking around too. I don't think any new signings this week will play on the weekend but I'd take either of the above.

Does anyone know anything about Miguel? Surely nacho playing at cb in pre season can't be a good sign for him.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

I can't imagine we are going to use Miquel or Hayden in the first team, except for League Cup matches.
I think we will buy one centre back, which will mean we have seven defenders, using Chambers as cover at RB & CB. In addition Flamini can cover both full back positions.

Agree0 Disagree0

Miquel isn't Arsenal standard. Only played 12 times for Leicester last year

Agree0 Disagree0

Howedes would be a good signing as he can cover across the back four, how much would he cost?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - between £15m + £20m SG..

Well, kind of expensive for a backup I suppose.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed0025. Hello mate. I'm hearing a few disturbing rumours from decent sources. It is that Theo's injuries have been a bit touch and go whereas it could be a career changer! Have you heard anything or wouldn't you be allowed to comment on anything like that. Thanks mate.

Believable5 Unbelievable3

{Ed025's Note - he is apparently due to start training at the end of the month golds, but that does not mean he will be playing mate, he has been through the mill with this injury, and its not as straight forward as other injuries, arsene will not rush him, and rightfully so, i dont expect him to be playing on a regular basis for quite a while..

Could it affect his pace ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - lets hope not eden its his prize asset, ACL injuries affect players in different ways, some recover fully while others tend to struggle, there is also the psychological problems of it as well as not having the confidence to extend yourself fully..

If you look at the way Theo has been acting on twitter and Instagram, he looks really positive and upbeat.

I'm pretty sure he said he was aiming to be available for Man City game but I think that will be way too soon. I reckon it'll be October before Theo plays again.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - even that may be a bit soon G95, rushing back could be the worst think he can do, but im sure the medical team know what they are doing mate..

I remember Wenger saying in an interview the biggest mistake he made as Arsenal manager was rushing Pires back from a long term injury. Having said that I doubt he'd make the same mistake with Theo, doubt we'll see him play before December.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - thats my opinion as well jack, it will obviously be reviewed on a week to week basis, but if he broke down again it could and his career mate..

I recall in March a prominent Dutch Orthopaedic Surgeon SKY that Theo would not be fit until December the signe seem to be supporting his prognosis

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you sure arsenals medical team know what they are doing ed? ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't think anyone is sure they know what they are doing!}
