:lol: So Sanchez's transfer fee partially covered by fees we got for Fabregas, Vela and Djourou and his wages almost completely covered by releasing Bendtner and Park. Not a bad bit of business.

How much were you paying those two :lol:

This is pretty much what I'm thinking. And I feel sick for leaving Jack out of it :lol:

\:d/ =d> =d> =d> =p~ =p~ :cool:

Important to remember the quality of players in the squad not able to get into this 11. Starting to love the depth (touch wood).
MUST.......CONTAIN......EXCITEMENT :lol:

We finally got rid of dead wood too

:lol: Probably close to 60-70k each.

Yep crazy to think that's a side that doesn't have Jack, Miki or Santi in it. Ideally, assuming we get Debuchy and a DM, I'd like to see us sign another CB, possibly 2 if Vermaelen leaves, another striker like Remy for depth and obviously a back up GK.

OK so that blue '3rd kit' is actually our cup kit and so will be worn in away matches when there is a clash in cup games. Makes sense in the first year of the new deal to get as much wear out of it as possible.

I like that our squaddies could be players like Rosicky, Flamini, Ox, Monreal, Podolski (unless 1. FC Koln comes calling), Joel Campbell maybe, new signing Diaby, Sanogo etc.
Starting to look like the roster of a serious contender if Wenger can get the business done. What's that saying about counting chickens :-k

Cautious warning... spuds had a 100m war chest andhad to try and integrate too many players at once.

Sanchez, Debuchy and Khedira will do me fine - add a couple of 19yo highly rated cb and gk who don't expect game time and we're set!

:lol: I've had a few friends say the kit looks bad solely from these Sanchez pictures, but it's how Sanchez is wearing them. He's wearing a shirt size too small, a short size too big, and needs to put the socks under his knees :lol:

We're going to need better than a 19yo GK who won't expect any game time at all considering they will probably be our #2.

lol don't worry he'll fix those shorts soon enough. As for the socks, yeah that aint changing :lol:

True. But you get my point. Add 4-5 players that all think they deserve an auyomatic start and its more of a curse than a blessing.

If we can sign them on an understanding of first 11, squad or reserve and they accept that then their may not be as many probs.

:lol: like I said the other day - my nephew will pretty much only play with his pants up like that once he finds out Sanchez is an Arsenal player :lol:

Obviously yeah. I mean any GK, ST or CB we potentially bring in from this point forward will come in knowing they won't be first choice.

Rumoured we're in for Manquillo on a loan deal with an option to buy. Plz no no no Jenkinson must be at this club for his whole career plz no

Manquillo's wiki already has him listed as on loan to Arsenal :lol:

My emotions can't handle Jenko leaving and coming to terms with Jack not being in the starting XI in the same day :'(

Not really a fan of the kits, although the home kit looks good on Giroud.

Is there anything that wouldn't look good on Giroud? 8-[

I can't see Atletico letting us have Manquillo on loan with the option to buy.

Puma even have Arsene covered. Would love to know if these are available to the public :lol:

Lets play a game, lets see who can most accurately predict our Community Shield line up.

Cadena Ser (who from memory broke most of the Sanchez stuff and are pretty reliable) reporting that the only thing now between us and Khedira are his wage demands :shock:

No Rosicky No Party.

Yeah I'd go with that same lineup with Rosicky om the right instead of Jack

Wouldn't be a huge surprise if wages is the only hurdle. Fee would be pretty simple to agree seeing as Madrid would be really keen to sell and he's apparently on 150k p/w

But would we pay khedira that much?

It's Spain . Both real and barca need to always one up each other .
