With a week to go until we kick off the Emery era, with Sundays home fixture against the Champions.
There are a lot of positions up for grabs, even the formation is debatable.
50p to anyone who gets the XI correct.
My guess?
--------------------Leno----------------------------
Bellerin---Sokratis--Mustafi---Maitland-Niles
------------Xhaka-------Torreira-------------------
Mkhitaryan-------Ozil------------Aubameyang
------------------Lacazette-------------------------
Predict the XI...

Top managers and scouts don't buy players on the back of an International Tournament. They've usually scouted the player for a season or two.
If we are indeed linked to Vida, he must have been impressed before the WC

I have absolutely no idea how he performed before the WC. But he was decent vs England and vs France tbh. Wasn't really troubled before that.

Thought i read somewhere that he only joined Besiktas in Jan. Must have really impressed if true.

It seems to be the case according to Wiki. only spent 6 months in Besiktas and one season in Germany back in 2010-11 in which he made a total of 1 appearance!

Domagoj Vida is a brave, hard working, no-nonsense defender with clear leadership qualities. Strong in the air, decent passing distribution. His decision making gets him in trouble at times & he can be a bit clumsy on the ball
Vida wears his heart on his sleeve. He's a great player for team moral, a fighter who does not quit. Well suited for Premier League football. Powerful, physical, pretty quick. Is he World Class? No. But a solid all-round defender who would add steel to just about any team
Regarding a potential move to Arsenal. Well Vida is the type of defender fans have been demanding for years. A combative CB to organise and lead the back-four. He's not the prettiest player on the ball and has his faults but if you want a fighter he fits the bill
This was from the Turkish footbal twitter feed. So a pashun merchant like i said

Yep, no skills but lots of fighting spirit. Clear to say that we won't win the "fair play" trophy this season.

Basically the CB equivalent of Xhaka.
Aye, no thanks.

Xhaka will be bench after 2 months and sideshow bob will take his place. Just waiting on Torreir to setlle in first me think.
Wenger has ruined the club but both Mustafi and Xhaka were not his signing and that was clear to see. His judgement on these two were correct so credit to him.

And how do you come to that conclusion? I would say they are atypical of his signings. Giroud, Podolski, Kolsaniac, Xhaka, Ozil, Mustafi. All slow overtly technical players. If anything Alexis was was the outlier.
