Never forget the Robinho incident, but just saw an article saying Adidas have added a Mahrez #7 option to their Chelsea kits for sale. Looks like Mahrez is off for us.

It was a fake. The media (with their "impeccable" researchers) picked up on a photoshopped image, and thought it was real.

Cheeez sydcro, you finished 2nd to our 8th and the game is at your place :lol:

Sky now saying 5 months, WHAT THE FUCK.

Was reportedly set to be made captain as well.

Paves the way for Aaron to take the armband now.

Per will still be made captain.

So Lyon confirm they've rejected a bid from Arsenal. Was apparently just under 30m pounds.

Would imagine 45-50 million euros would get it done. I'm not completely sold on him, but at this point I just want anyone :lol:

There is some talk that we made that bid a while ago and haven't gone back and it's a plot from Lyon to raise the price on Lacazette.

Reine-Adelaide set to be a part of the first team this season, removed from academy pages.

L'equipe reporting that we're going to make another offer for Lacazette.

I thought Reine Adelaide was terrific in the pre season games he played last season.

I thought he would have got a little more time in the first team then he did, but I guess Iwobi took over the role of young black talent for last season :d

Iwobi was always the one most likely to breakthrough last season. This year is definitely a chance for Jeff.

Arsene has confirmed he's looking to bring someone in to replace Mertesacker.

Friendly against the MLS All Stars about to start on ESPN 1. Holding and Bielik starting at CB, Walcott upfront with Jack at the #10. Xhaka on the bench

It had to happen really :lol:

FT MLS All Stars 1-2 Arsenal

Good solid hitout. Holding played 90 mins, Bielik dealt with Drogba really well in the first half until his pass allowed them to equalise right on HT. First goal was from a penalty which Campbell won and then put away. Him and Ox were probably our two best in the first half. Theo upfront just didn't look good at all. Xhaka played the 2nd half and hit one hell of a shot from 30 yards out that was punched away for a corner and also put in a corner that Holding headed just over.

Winner came from some good work from Willock putting in a great little reverse ball for Monreal to put the ball across the face of the goal for Akpom to tap in.

Our away kit is possibly the best kit we've had imo (The yellow one).

Up there with two of my personal faves:

So glad that leaked kit is real. So fucking good. Reminds me of our yellow away kit in the late 90's.

Also don't expect anything to be done transfer wise between now and the first day of the season, just not Arsene's style. Of the 197 players Arsenal have signed in Arsene's time at the club only 15 have come in the period between August 1st and 14th, with just 3 of those coming since 2006.

That's not to say work won't be done behind the scenes, especially since Arsene has said he wants another experienced striker and CB, but just means that most of the focus will be on getting the team ready for Liverpool.

Thinking of buying tickets for the Sydney games do you think they will have signed a new striker by then?

Yes I think a striker will be signed by then. Might be injured though.

So true.

We need to convince someone to brainwash Ox into thinking the next 45 games are pre-season fixtures.

Welcome to life as a Jerks supporter with James Virgili..

I was already there m8, Connor Pain :lol:

:lol: flare enough

I've seen James Virgili single-handedly destroy Sydney FC way too many times in preseason. His ability in NPL and preseason still haunts my nightmares.

Ready for Thomas Vermaelen to be our Mertesacker replacement ;) 

So Theo has been talking about how he wants to go back to playing on the right and tbh I think if he stays, which looks likely, then that's probably where he'll be best suited with occasional chances upfront depending on the game and situation.
