Ken Shamrock · 19-05-2016 02:51PM

It Is nice and all but It looks more like a training kit? Doesn't It?

Quazzie · 19-05-2016 03:16PM

See reports online that the transfer fee requested for Xhaka is €45, whereas we only offered £19.

Oh dear. It's happening again.

Thats up front the rest paid in installments,they want more up front

Ken Shamrock · 19-05-2016 03:37PM

Is he worth €45m though? We're not exactly short In the middle of the park and I don't see him offering anything special. He Is young though.

Anyone know how these players are valued or is it just think of a number?

I think it's generally the highest number you can get away with. A player is always worth the asking price as well, just pay the money.

All clubs are aware of the massive increase in tv money in the EPL.

Any of them selling to English clubs will think they can afford to pay more.

I like flou trim myself. I don't go for the modern kits (more of a retro man) but I really like this. Not sure I like the black bits on the shoulders at the back though

19-05-2016 06:00PM

That kit is fupping ugly!
Looks like a Chelsea kit!

Good to see Wenger counting the pennies again!

Bobby Baccala · 19-05-2016 06:25PM

Not a big fan of that kit, highlighter yellow is a bit much. Said it too many times now, puma don't make nice kits for us at all.

mansize · 19-05-2016 07:57PM

No dispute with Monreal being in top 3, still think Kos had a big contribution this season

Why did that remind me of Liverpool and Andy Carroll?

According to his "close friend", some journalist only the hipsters have heard of, it's a done deal.

We shall see.

this guy is normally spot on when it comes to transfers

CatInABox · 20-05-2016 10:21AM

I'll believe transfer rumours when I see the player in an Arsenal jersey. I had forgotten how annoying the summer months are actually, it's only been a week or two, but we've already been "linked" to most players in every league in the world.

In other news, Ozil got Arsenal player of the year, and it's hard to see any other player that came close in my opinion.

It's just a shame that he's spent the year working magic with strikers that constantly let him down.

wonga77 · 20-05-2016 10:32AM

Yep Id be happy if Xhaka is signed even though i dont think another midfielder is a top priority. Il be much happier if we manage a striker and another central defender

keano_afc · 20-05-2016 10:38AM

I got a bit bored so inspired by the pics of that luminous 3rd kit I started looking back at our old kits imagining what they would look like if Puma sexed them up.

The 1892 stripy effort would be interesting.

extra gravy · 20-05-2016 11:50AM

I don't think his guy is just another midfielder. By all accounts, he's going to be world class, if he isn't already.

That's the question mark, Is he going to be better than Coq/Wilshere/Ramsey/Elneny/Cazorla. We have a lot of options In the middle of the park as It Is, I'd be worried that we'll be chopping and changing too much trying to figure out what works best and If 2 guys work best together and play consistently that leave's 4 very good midfielders sitting on the bench/at home each week.

A good problem to have In many regards but It will be Interesting to see how things play out.

This year you are losing Flamini, Arteta and Rosicky. A new centre midfielder was needed.

The fact that you are replacing squad players with world class players is a very good sign.

Considering we had to play flamini for a huge number of games this season means this addition can only be a good thing.

Well Rosicky Is an attacking midfielder he'd never play In the 2 holding positions and Flamini and Arteta aren't exactly losses, the main reason they got game time was the amount of Injuries we had. I'm not saying It's a bad thing I', just saying we now have 6 very good CM's fighting for 2 positions.

Is Flamini leaving confirmed??

Is Flamini leaving? There has been loads of coverage about Arteta and Rosicky leaving, with official announcements from the club. No mention of Flamini leaving, which is kind of worrying.

Bobby Baccala · 20-05-2016 12:27PM

When is flaminis contract up with us?
