• To all AM members and guests.

    For the start of the new season, Arsenal Mania has relaunched the news side of the site. All articles are written by genuine Arsenal fans with no hidden agenda. You can visit the site via the menu at the top of the forum pages or go direct to our homepage

    Additionally, Arsenal Mania is now sending all its registered members a bi-weekly Briefing Bulletin containing a digest of news and views from both parts of the site. Some of you may have already received the first edition and those that haven't should do so before the big kick off against United. If you are a guest visitor to this forum then if you join as a member, you will automatically receive the Bulletin.

    Please support both these initiatives and help ensure the long term future of our site.

Probably already doing videos, pictures, etc. Reckon this gets announced before the Chelsea game or after it depending on the result ;)

Acrually scared to leave the house in case they release the announcement video early. I didn’t buy a 4k tv for nothing.

Don't worry, Vinai cheaped out the cameras, it'll be 720p upscaled to 1080. You won't miss much!

It's funny how nearly all of them are 2 right footed players but Arsenal so desperately needs a right/left partnership, I knew it didn't matter at all. Realistically out partnership next season is White/Holding.

Also don't Chelsea play 3 at the back?
I guess it's important to some managers (Mikel) and irrelevant to others (every other manager in the entire World 🤣)

Yes Chelsea play 3 at the back but for the sake of the article and comparison they chose the 2 who would likely partner each other in a back 4.

I think most managers would prefer a left-footed CB but not at the expense of quality. City have Laporte who’s left footed but that won’t prevent Pep from playing the better players in Dias/Stones. It’ll be the same for us, although Mikel does seem more stubborn. If Gabriel/Mari don’t impress as much as White/Holding they’re not playing,

💯 I'd even go as far as to say that if VVD goes back into that form you can pretty much put anyone beside him and it'll be the best partnership.
Feel like Joe Gomez is being slept on as well, if he retains his pace then that partnership was near perfect.

Is he even going to start?

They spent 36m on Konate to be a starter next to VVD. I rate Joe Gomez though, good option to have.

I think Liverpool have been so cursed with CBs over the last couple seasons that they just had enough and decided to have 3 starting quality CBs. Still question marks over VVD and Gomez' sharpness/fitness at the time so it was an astute pickup.

Liverpool's CBs options are a joke, tbh...4 quality options, rate Matip too.

Arsenal Quotes

I'm prepared to be committed to the club at least until we go into the new stadium. For me, it’s important that the club goes in there and that I make sure the team are at a very good level. After that, whether it’s me or someone else, the club will be able to compete at the highest level. But for me to run away now would not be fair.
