Now this I didn't see coming. From David Ornstein (@bbcsport_david)



Only thing that makes it worth mentioning is the journo it comes from.

Apparently Benzema :roll:

The Navy shorts were only for this game because of Fener's white shorts. Yeah the purple kit is our 3rd one. Not sure why they didn't wear that today.

On the game, so good to come away with a comfortable win and make the 2nd leg that much easier at home. Standout for me was Rambo, man does the work of 3 or 4 players. In for a big season. Good to see Giroud score again and get a good start to the season unlike last year where he struggled to score for a bit. Only worry is Koscielny, hopefully he's not out for to long.

Not sure if I liked the navy shorts TBH. Can someone re-remind me why the navy is on the sleeve, again?

Could have nearly gotten away with the yellow/blue away kit, nearly.

What is their third kit - last seasons purple one?

The mail, or pv4's predictions? :lol:

Na, think it's predominantly white, which is why we are wearing our away shorts.

Don't Fener wear blue shorts?

:lol: So apparently our kit against Fener is going to be red shirt, red socks and blue shorts.

Was benched for their opening game.

Under the old manager, yes. Not under Ancelotti though.

Casillas certainly not impossible as people might think. Not saying that it will happen (probably 1% chance), but world cup year, 2nd fiddle to another spanish keeper, Valdes in good form etc.

Wont happen though, but would definitely be that marquee signing our club has craved for years.

Before spuds fans/afro jump in, I have clearly stated many times it wont happen.

:lol: who's next falcao :lol: messi ,

If you're into believing the Mail then Iker Casillas is our next target :lol:

Can see it now , we'll end up with another random striker before deadline :lol:

Speaking of transfers that 'need' to go through... Who's arsenal's newest target? :p

Those deals only need to go through if Bale is sold.

Almost too quiet 8-[

I have a feeling the Willian and Lamela offers (more so Willian) are dependant on Bale leaving.

In saying that, a few players have said that we are looking to add another two faces the the squad. Above all else, we need a left back though.

Ugh sevilla rumoured saying our offer for the keeper is a lowball . Sigh panic buys again

Spuds cannot afford to have splashed 120m (if Willian and Lamela deals go through) without selling Bale, that simple.

The whole Bale front has gone very quiet though.

Do they even NEED Lamela and Willian?

If they get Willian and Lamela, they'll be challenging for the title let alone fourth. it's why its so frustrating that we haven't spent yet, the top 5 is completely open and any one of the clubs could win the title (even us if we spent some fucking money)

There's times when Arsene comes out with stuff that reminds you why you love him :lol: Like this, his reponse when asked if Sp*rs' transfer activity put our top 4 place under threat "I hear that for 16 years now" :lol:

I feel like the rumored 20m for Pogba will be well below Juve's evaluation and now with Marchisio out for a month I can't see that happening

Flamini has been training with the club for weeks, that's nothing new.

I know when I said them they were nothing "ground-breaking", but I've made mention in here that I thought Arsenal should have gone for Flamini, Richards & Pogba and apparently they're all "being linked" with the club now - Flamini is reportedly training with the team even.

Should I try some more exotic players? :lol:

I reckon Arsenal should go for Zlatan, Aguero, Luiz & Casillas :lol:

when is nancho back? also glad to see bac training

Good to see both Bac and Nacho training.

:lol: but knowing wenger ;)

Tottenham isn't until next week, we're not going to rest first team players to prepare for a game against Fulham :lol:
