not impressed by puma's photoshop skills. those aren't our kits, btw. reveal is on the 10th, but here they are:







i've already got an away kit and was planning on getting a home one, but damn, the away kits are fire. 3rd kit sucks.

We won the FA cup, but who was starting at rb? oh yeah sagna. Not serge aureier who's best quality is going forward not defending.

The more and more i think about it, the more id be happy with debuchy, as long as we still get splash somewhere else.

I am right about Per, look at germany. They got utterly exposed because they lack pace. We need someone to protect the rt side.

you said we couldn't win with a back 3 of per, kos and arteta (which doesn't even make sense really, because MA doesn't tend to drop into a back 3 in possession like other sides might), and we have won with that. that was my only point.

yeah, debuchy is more of an attacking FB though than a defensive one. he's certainly the more stable/reliable option compared to aurier, though the potential of the latter is extremely tempting.

per's lack of pace certainly stands out, but nearly every time his positioning more than makes up for it. i thought he had a pretty great game yesterday in that regard. they were fairly exposed at times because they played a high line (not per's strong suit) and mustafi and howedes were way too high, as was schweiny consistently. germany had their formation/tactics wrong against that team, much like us against 'Pool. later in the match, they were susceptible down the middle (which is fairly rare for us) because khedira and schweiny aren't DLPs/DMs and both got too far forward.

i'm all for getting a younger, more athletic RCB for the future. but per is really good, and we've got a good thing going with he and kos.

Here's a comparison between Debuchy and Sagna. I think he would be a fine replacement.

age is really my only big concern, and the potential that aurier blows up haunting us like so many other "we almost signed him" stories.

david ornstein of the bbc says campbell will report to arsenal in late july/early august and fight for a first team spot.

Call me crazy, but I kind of like the third kits. I'll be getting the home kits, though. Can't look like a goddamn loser in a year old Nike jersey.

Like others have said, though. I miss Nike. Those little torso stripes are so pointless and actually take away from the third kit.

My guess is the players will have an option. I just don't see Santi wearing a skin tight Jersey.

I saw Arsene today. He was at the Dutch hotel talking with a French journalist. He is staying at the same hotel as the Dutch. I got quite a few pictures of him.

I also got pictures of Sneijder, Blind, Martins Indi, De Jong (boo), etc. I think I got the back of Robben's head. No RVP.

I will post the pictures of Wenger and others he was talking to. Cannavaro was also there, but not sure if I got any of him.

I don't have the gravitas to do it, but isn't it time someone starts a 2014-2015 thread?

I think the WC should be over before the season threads begin. Another reason... admins?
