Do you guys think we’ll see a different starting 11 from the Community Shield match?

It remains to be seen how the new players will integrate in the team but on the paper it seems like the best window in the recent years maybe more.

That sounds good, more and more clubs are interested in him.

There are always going to be more, it’s up to users to decide which ones are useful, good for their privacy, etc.

A bidding war would be ideal but I’m worried if he only wants to join Inter instead of a mid/low table PL club

We’ve done our transfer business before the pre-season, there are no major issues. Let’s start on a high and enjoy this season more than the last.

That’s why I’m hoping they get desperate as the window end is getting closer.
But more importantly I’m hoping we won’t give in to their cheap practises.

I doubt it’ll happen soon with the amounts being reported. I think it’s more possible by the end of the window.

He got number 12, worn by Saliba the previous season who now switched to number 2.

Don’t know if it’s me growing up, but all the ball desings the past 10+ years are quite forgettable. There were some really iconic designs in the 00’s.

Those who doubt his place in the team have a short memory. In 21/22 ESR scored 10 goals (1920 mins) while Saka scored 11 goals (2988 mins).
Obviously Saka made a huge progress in 22/23 and I personally think he has a higher ceiling but ESR is an important player too and hopefully he’ll stay fit and prove it.

It is not an Arsenal transfer rumor unless it has Chelsea in it

Being in pot 2 we can’t be in the same group with Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, RV Leipzig and Porto.
From the pot 1 teams we’re going to face on of Sevilla, Barcelona, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain, Benfica or Feyenoord.

If he wants us he’ll join us, if he wants Bayern then it’s ok. We want players who want to play for this club and I doubt we’re getting into a bidding war.

I agree with you it’s not urgent but he’s definitely getting a raise if he’s on significantly lower wages than the rest key players on the squad.
