I've not seen anything of Timber apart from lots of highlights reels. He's not quite 6ft but look great at breaking up play and tackling whilst staying on his feet which is great! He also looks very comfortable with the ball and getting out of tight situations but don't think I've seen him put in a single cross.

Looking at the other posts here, i wondered if he would be best at cb with his height? Rb (without the crosses but maybe doing a Zinchenko? ) and also allowing White to go to CB? Or even be some kind of defensive midfield option for us or part of a ball-playing back-three for a different formation option for us.

If arsenal are zfter a striker i would like mitrovic from Fulham I think he is a great goal scorer what do you all think.

Hi Stephen. not a bad shout that… but I’d go toney (after his ban) … or watkins. 🔴⚪️❤️.

I'd also go for Toney, i really rate the bloke.

SW, step away from your keyboard!

I'd love to Sharpie, but they're paying me to sit at it right now!

Best wishes to Edwin van der sar 🙏.

Jurrien Timber medical passed.

Yes, saw that sparky. Fantastic bit of news, and fantastic player 👏.

Great signing that mate.

the Timber signing is signalling that we are looking to invert the RB this season. he isn't really a CB or a RB, but the invert midfield role is tailor made for him.

curious to see whether in practice the inversion is an alternation with Zinc in game to increase fluidity - to keep the opponents guessing, or whether we actually intend to double invert and play a 2-3-5 in possession. that's a terrifying prospect for the rest of the league - even city cannot do that! when you think about it this setup makes a lot more sense of the Havertz signing as well.

Zinc --- Rice ---Timber
----- Gab --- Sal -----.

I missed this post Davi. I was wondering about that too.

Mbappe says Arsenal are the only Prem club he would join, oh what a signing that would be. We can wish.

Good Morning Ed,

Do you have any idea who Arsenal/ Arteta are lining up to replace Steve Round?

There are reports of Cazorla taking up a coaching role the club but assuming this is not linked.

I suppose Albert Stuivenberg, Miguel Molina and Carlos Cuesta could possibly be enough without the need to replace Round?

Interested to hear your thoughts.

Thank you.

No worries, thanks Ed.

Just seen from fabrizio romano, that saliba has signed contract extension until 2027 👍.

06 Jul 2023 17:08:11
Does anyone know how he's getting on with his back problems?

05 Jul 2023 20:37:30
Hi Ed sorry for the bombardment of question are you aware of arsenal actively looking for a striker this window if so who would they be have a great day.

{Ed002's Note - Read the posts.}

Evening all Ed's and fellow gunners, hope all's well. was just reading an article about the arsenal, who are honouring mr arsene wenger with a statue to coincide with the invisible season 20 year anniversary. most definitely well deserved for our most decorated manager in our history. I know a fair few gooners turned against him. I'm proud to say I wasn't one. but understand why some did. I will always remember how he revolutionised our great club and built some of the most wonderful teams we have had. his massive contributions to building our great training facilities and the emirates stadium. the man always should feel he has a home with us gooners and when his statue is in place and our children and grandchildren ask who he is. we can tell them all about him, what he means to the ARSENAL family. and how much his legacy will always be remembered. ARSENE WENGER the ARSENAL LEGEND who for so many years had us all 🎶🎶🎶WALKING IN A WENGER WONDERLAND 🎶🎶🎶🎶 🔴⚪️❤️.

Was supposed to say invincible not invisible. bloody predictive text… doh.!

{Ed025's Note - we all know what you meant Gabi, nice piece that mate..

06 Jul 2023 17:53:32
Thanks Ed025. just feel like some of the younger fans who weren’t born or too young to remember wengers earlier years with us, don’t quite realise just how good he was for the ARSENAL and football in general. top top coach and a great human being.

{Ed025's Note - im a massive fan Gabi, when he was appointed i must admit i thought "what the hell", but David Dein was a very shrewd and knowledgeable man and i should have known better, for me hes in the top 3 of all time and that invincible,s side was a joy to behold, who besides Arsene could turn a under performing french winger into the best player to ever grace the premiership?, nice guy as well as you say mate..

06 Jul 2023 21:42:30
David dein… absolute legend… I read his autobiography last year… top bloke, highly recommend it to anyone that likes a good sport’s autobiography (especially if your a gooner) ….

Hi Ed,

It has been a wild summer already, with some big arrivals already. Are you able to say what other business we have remaining, even positions over names? If not, no stress. It's been great to actually land the targets that we expected.
