Asano joins Stuttgart on loan for the season.

Also Guillem Balague has said that Mustafi and Perez will be presented together as Arsenal players at 3pm London time today. Find that hard to believe but who knows.

In good news for us, Perez and Mustafi both speak English.

Perez will have the international break to assimilate into the squad, but Mustafi has been called up for Germany.

Bellerin - Mustafi - Koscielny - Monreal 

Best defence we have had in years and when you add in Cech behind them it's probably the best back 5, at least on paper right now, we've had since the Invincibles.

Apparently Ozil to start with Giroud and Xhaka on the bench.

EDIT: Well it seems that was wrong, about Xhaka at least

Comfortable enough win. Ozil is a god, Xhaka is a beast.

Arsene has also confirmed the Mustafi and Perez signings.

No shock that Theo looks like a competent footballer on the right. Would like to see a front 3 of him, Sanchez and Perez.

Ornstein says we are looking for Wilshere to go out on loan for the season. Gnabry also subject to a bid from Bayern, club wants to keep him though. Also says no more signings, which is no real shock.

So it seems Jack has offers from Watford, Palace, Bournemouth, Sporting and Benfica. Assume it'll come down to Palace or Watford so he can stay in London. In the case of Watford he'd be training literally next door to Arsenal lol

Yeah Ornstein now saying we're in talks with Bremen. Tell you what if we can get 6-8m for him and have a buy back clause I'd call that a pretty good deal.

Do like Jack to Bournemouth, would prefer him playing under Howe instead of Pardiola.

Is Gnabry on loan or did we sell him?

Can someone explain Jack to anywhere else for me? Did he ask for it? Is he on the outer? Is it a now-or-never message from Wenger? Is it just the sheer amount of CMs in Xhaka, Coq, Rambo, Chambo, Santi that we have meaning he'd get sfa game time? Will Jack hold resentment towards the club for it etc, or was it a mutual agreeance that it was a good move?

It seemed to just come out of nowhere for me. Like one day a rumour pops up that you take with a grain of salt and next, bam, he's in a different coloured shirt. 

I mean realistically how many teams loan out current international players.

Sold for for between €5-8 mil. I hope we inserted  a buy back clause
Also jack asked  to be loaned to get playing time. Wenger agreed, didnt want to sell but loan him  . Iirc  he sees jacky as a santi replacement

Yeah Jack was the one who pushed for this loan. 

As for Gnabry this is a case of the club getting whatever we can now instead of losing him on a free next season.

Its a make or break season for him, love jacky but his injuries  messed him up. We dont want another diaby situation were we can only count of him being fit for 2 games a season

Yeah right now he needs to stay fit and get games. He wouldn't get the games he needs right now with us. Better off going out on loan and good to play under someone who's been touted as a possible Wenger replacement.

In
Xhaka
Mustafi
Perez
Asano
Holding

Out
Rosicky
Arteta
Gnabry
Flamini
Wilshere (Loan)
Chambers (Loan)

I'd call that a very successful window. Bought well and bought what we needed and got rid of a lot of deadwood. Rosicky, Arteta and Wilshere alone accounted for a massive number of our days injured last season.
