That's where we sorely miss the little French gem. Our back four needs to be a sure thing against Gladbach - Azpi, AC, Zouma, Emerson.

Need to sort out these defensive woes quickly.

Luiz gave the corner away and is at fault for the goal. Dreadful performance from him

Yh. That just feels so long ago now.

That's why I loved Heynckes' Bayern at the start of the decade. Most I've enjoyed a side in some time.

Pulisic on fire in the last 10 mins

I'm talking about starters against Utd. CHO & RLC taken a magic drug?

Hoping our strongest XI (Kante aside) start.

Mata has learned some dirty tricks over there.

[emoji1] Might be off to Monaco. Will be shocked if they actually get even close to Arsenal's asking price.

The driving force for their recent success aren't present, so I'm sure it doesn't surprise anyone.

His performances play their part too.

Have you watched him at Juve recently? To think he'll play a notable part is foolish IMO and Arsenal exactly know for keeping players healthy either.

What else do people expect? Still a needless comment to make IMO.

Multiple tweets about what he said and who to. We have another Belgian on our hands, it seems.

Reminds me of the Lichtsteiner move. Some one past it to bolster their squad.

He'd be lucky if he decided one game. [emoji1]

Looked good during last preseason as well, so I'll keep my expectations in check. However, we need a midfielder to bang in goals this season. I couldn't care less if it's Barkley, Mount or Kante at this point.

Cocu already knows his ability, so it would make sense.

This is exactly where my head turns to. He only managed 15 goals in 115 Serie A games, whilst he scored more than double that last season alone. Seems like a bigger gamble than Felix going by the figures that are rumoured.

He isn't going to be afford time over there, so he'll have to hit the ground running once the season starts.

They're still lacking elsewhere. I certainly don't see them finishing in the top 4 with their current squad and rumoured signings. Sokratis, Mustafi and Chambers won't cut it.

It's more to do with our expectations compared to Arsenal. This season will obviously be one of transition, but the team/Roman will have ambitions of challenging 12 months now, whether that's realistic is another story. Also, I think Arsenal are a way off in every position aside from upfront. They leak more than they score & they haven't got Liverpool's sort of front line either. In regards to Manchester United, they have all their hopes pinned on their youth this season, so their season could go any way with a manager that's hardly done much to date.

I just have my reservations about him being able to make the step up tbh. Arsenal and Everton EL level teams at best right now whilst we're a level above in all fairness. Better deals to be had with 12 months in mind.
