He was very good for Bolton when he played there. He's been hurt the last two seasons which hindered his development in a massive way. He will leave us and possibly become good in four or five years. Disappointing, as he was a really exciting player when we first got him.

This has to be our deepest team in years. Probably since 2010/11. Long term injuries will happen, it's the nature of the sport, but I feel we are better equipped to deal with them than ever before.

Also I hope we never see the Arteta/Flamini pair considering our depth.
I'm excited to see what Diaby can do in the B2B position. I think he's the last holdover from the youth policy days. Such a massive talent, and he got injured right when it seemed like things clicked for him.
Hopefully we will have a healthy rotation policy. I really hope Ox takes the LW position and makes it his own.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an offer for Santi or Poldi or Arteta that we accept. I don't want to sell any of them, but I could see it happen. I think this is Arteta's last season, regardless.

I hoping with depth it'll give diaby time to really get in shape and a feel for how well his body will hold up. He really is a great player, a few years ago he played a game at ST and scored 2 goals. He really could have been our toure.
Same here, but I have to think arsene still envisions him as a central player. Jack will probably play on the rt some, but its just to get him ready. He did the same with fabregas and with Ramsey. Gives them opportunity to work on there skill instead of being bogged down in the center.

Jack played way better on the right than he did deep last season. I remember when he was coming up some thought he was going to be an inverted winger. He certainly has the dribbling ability to do that, but I really want him to become a DLP. If he adapts his dribbling ability so that he drives forward less, and makes space for himself to get passes off, that's where he could play for the rest of his career.

i think we'll keep Arteta around for a year or two more for experience and positional awareness. maybe he can help mold jack (or someone else) into being his replacement. that interview with arteta seemed to indicate that he was probably going to get another contract. if we gave rosicky one...
i think this is probably poldi's and maybe santi's last year with us.

Just went by 3rd coast in br. They have the Jerseys, def fit a lil smaller, not by much. But yeah the numbers changed so they waiting on them. So you can't get a player, but u can always bring it back and they will do it for u when the new lettering comes in.. funyy the guy said they've had them for a couple of weeks now. Just had to wait til today to sell them.
I wasn't going to get one, was $90 before tax. But guy gave me a discount. Prob cus I spent a bunch on USA gear last month.

Arseblog is my fav. I have the app on my DROID and they pretty much link anything that's worth a damn. Plus I like reading the comments so I can get a feel for the fans around the world.
All of this. The Arseblog widget is greatness.

I've had a Ramsey since the beginning of the 2011/2012 season. Bought two, ruined one in the wash and gave one away as a present. Got another to start last season and bought the new Puma one today.

What size, since sizing is a concern here?

Went by the chart they had. My first two were large Nikes, lost some weight and got in better shape and went to a medium for last year's.
Sizing chart said medium, that is what I bought yesterday.

Thanks for the insight. Got a large Nike right now, and since I've become a shape recently I'll probably stay large.
Posted on 7/12/14 at 6:27 am to Sophandros
You are bigger boned than me. Stick with the large.
I'm really excited for the season. You going to make it down and have a few pints?

Next time I plan on being in NOLA is Sept 5-7 (flying out the morning of the 7th to get back to ATL for the Saints game), and the Gunners are off that weekend.

Gotcha. Some other time.
