    I like it, also with Europe coming up, UCL will require a lot more depth. It’s just not realistic to expect us to sign multiple strikers a mid like Partey and possibly another Defender.

    Europa is as well to a degree, but I’d rather play the youth. UCL you can be embarrassed in group stages if you trot out a sloppy youth side.

    In a perfect world we'd sign two strikers, a mid and a backup for Tomi this summer, right?

    Eddie+1, Tielemens (£25m), and the Scottish bologna bloke (£18m)?

    Mo is a pro and the odds we will need him to manage a run of fixtures at some point with European competition and a World Cup year are 100%. It’s either resign him or spend $15-$20 million to sign someone with a profile exactly like him who may or may not fit in.

    We desperately need at least one quality mid more than anything else IMO. Could talk me into striker as well for the top of the list.

    Then cover for Tesco and Tomi. Saliba would be nice cover as well but that horse has been dead for months at this point.

    i’m not sure that’s been settled either way yet imo

    think there’s a good chance he sticks around, especially if we get champions league imo

    Yeah, I’d be surprised he’s not an Arsenal player next year, whether he likes it or not.

    I think Nuno will grow into cover for Tierney. I'd also keep Cedric around as the third option on either wing.

    if Saliba isn't in the team they will need a CB. no way can you go into the season with only 3 CBs.

    Arsenal-Everton in Baltimore on 7/16. I was going to ask Gunners to go on a bender with me, but my wife is away that weekend and I have the kids.

    Hotels are very reasonable for Baltimore so far. Guess most people just go on the day but I don’t drink and drive so will make a weekend of it

    I could very well be wrong, never viewed him as slow but not all that great in possession and indifferent defensively. Got his hype from his highlights rather than overall play

    Kinda like a Belgium Pogba

    Found an article on Tielemens who seemed to think his strength was technique on ball and passing accuracy in build up play, weakness was physical dominance. Made him sound like a budget Belgian Santi.

    As they look to become a more possession dominant side, Tielemans has proven to be an excellent outlet in build-up, assured on the ball and capable of progressing play very well. Generally speaking, his high-level technique, intelligence, and versatility make him an asset to any team.



    However, we’ve seen his game is much deeper when recognizes the how and why he is actually effective and what makes him special. Much of this is derived from the unique traits of deception and skills with both feet which he leverages in combination in order to manipulate space for him to execute his often-perfect passes.

    The options are
    a) beat our arch rival at their place with the youngest squad in the league and comfortably clench CL qualification/St. Tottenhams day for the 1st time in 6 years
    Or b) draw/lose resulting in a nerve racking 1.5 week conclusion to the season

    we never do things the easy way, would take a draw for sure.

    Alright went on a five miler and listened to Arseblog preview and a cast extra. Personally I hope we come out pressing and stay on them for an early goal. I realize the risk, I also realize I’m a random guy on a message board.

    Im fired up, think I’m going to grab some brews at lunch.

    Step off the ledge. Enjoy that we've solidified our pre-season goal of Europa weeks in advance... Spurs are a severely flawed squad & all the pressure is on them.
