Arsenal 2015/2016 Season Long Thread

I miss Foodbud and leauxgs

The Year of the Ox.

John Cross says we aren't buying a DM and aren't listening to offers for Santi. Sounds like we won't look too much different from last year, sans Cech.

I'm okay with that. I think we have to be able to play without Coq/Arteta in certain games, with Ramsey-Wilshere-Santi holding central spots. Still have Ox and Rosicky for depth.

Someone is offering 250-1 odds that Cech breaks his own 21 shutouts in one season record

"Welcome to Arsenal" post for anyone who has decided to follow the World's best football club.

I thought we could just put together some things that we have seen, podcasts to listen to, etc. to help ease anyone in to the club.

The Future:
The team is relatively young, so expect a lot of these guys to be around a while, but I'll list a few guys to keep an eye on that aren't currently expecting to see a lot of playing time or are on loan.

The obvious choice to start with is the USMNT U20 World Cup representative Gedion Zelalem: LINK

Dan Crowley (on loan at Barnsley): LINK

Alex Iwobi: LINK

Jeff Rein-Adelaide: LINK

Serge Gnabry (on loan to West Brom): LINK

Isaac Hayden (on loan at Hull): LINK

Chuba Akpom (on loan at Hull): LINK

Like I said at the end of the other thread. I don't see us making another move unless some world class player suddenly becomes available.

It just seems like we play so much better with Coq in - who takes that pure defensive role if he gets hurt or needs a rest?
