Hello everyone, tw over, Brought quality in, cleared the decks as well. Pepe, Soares could go also has other tw are still open.
So with the stupid international break coming up, we want to go into that with a win. So even though I think Mikel is still going to start with Partey at rb, hope he doesn't but I have a feeling he will, I am going 2-1'us with Utd scoring first like they did last year.

Bit deflated to be honest - Rice and Raya are quality but didn’t really need Raya

Still think we needed fullback, CM and back up striker with May be a plan B in his pocket.

Wait to see how Timber performs when fit as I have read he can’t win a header to save his life which isn’t great if he’s going to be CD. Not sure if he’s a special-ist RB either. But he has had a good start.

Concerned about left back also as well as Arteta’s infactuation to play Partey right back. Which weakens CD, weakens RB and weakens CM. Hopefully Mikel Artetenstein stops creating a weird team and gets back to basics.

He’s reply on his tinkering was just plane nuts and suggests he believes tinkering for every game is good. Lunatic in my mind. Narcissistic traits.

Not excited one bit by Kai and concerned about how Arteta is speaking about him and shoving him into the side. Let him earn his spot. I hope he succeeds.

I genuinely don’t think we’ve added enough to get top 2 or challenge City. That and tinkering is getting me less excited about the season and don’t think we’ve started well either against easy teams.

Not gaslighting - just being honest.

Yeah I think if we keep doing partey at rb we will not get top 4.

He did seem like a nutter in that interview! ? G62 would be proud of that analogy though! What a cracker!

Well for a me a bit of a 50/ 50 windows Rice yes expensive but he certainly ads that extra bite and leadership to our team and his best years are still ahead. Timber shame he injured but could already see how well he as settled into the squad and adds versatility between a back 3 and back 4.

Raya a good keeper yes but not a signing we needed to make just trust Rammers as Number 1 I say and get oldie back up keeper. Maybe its just Arteta is terrified a bit if Ramsdale were to get injured and having to use rookie Hein, but like i say just buy a veteran that is happy as number 2?. it could go either way push each of them to greater heights or undermine their confidence knowing one mistake their are out.

Kai i guess we have to allow some time but my fear is its another Ozil situation, yes he has quality but i do feel right now Arteta is shoe horning him into the side to the determent to the overall balance of our side, on form Trossard should be in the side ahead of him. You have to earn your place.

Yes this Party at RB thing has to stop, I have a feeling if he plays there tomorrow Rashford is going to pull out wide to that side and have a field day on the counter if we are not mindful. Put him in his best position alongside Rice let's dominate that midfield RB is not a natural position for Party atall. I piut Tommy right although White be ok try and keep a solid 3 at back allowing Zinko on otherside a little more freedom in come into midfield when on the ball.
