1. Wenger buys Elneny. People rage and protest.

2. Wenger buys Xhaka, Asano and Holding all with over a month left in the transfer window.

3. ???

4. Trophy (4th place, ofc)

What a man to learn your trade from #WelcomeRob

There's a guy in the under 19's I'd prefer to learn from. Just saying.

More excited about this signing than I was when we bought Chambers.

I don't know why but I have a great feeling with this one.

I think your feeling's right - impressive debut.

He's pretty much England best centre back now.

Are you on your phone? It seems like it spazzed out and put England in the middle of you sentence. Autocorrect is silly sometimes.

strong with the force this young padawan

Haven’t watched the game yet but apparently he played really well, then again Chambers had quite a good stint initially.

Wonder where this leaves Chambers? His comfort in where he's playing seems to change regularly. The other day he was a lot better when moved to RB but this was the opposite last season.

quality, Koscielny with better flair.

Hope his versatility isn't the death of him. He's a very talented footballer but where he fits in is anyone's guess - I'd say his best bet is at CB but not sure he has the head for that position.

He's had a good pre-season so far to be fair.

"Rob Holding scored his first Arsenal goal as Arsenal beat Chivas Chivas Guadalajara 3-1 to win their second game of their US tour last night.

The 20-year-old opened the scoring from close range after a Santi Cazorla free kick found Calum Chambers at the back post, who's measured cross found Holding unmarked at the back post.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's brilliant solo goal put Arsenal 2-0 up just after half time, showing great skill to lose his marker before hammering a left-footed shot into the far corner.

England Under 21 striker Chuba Akpom made it three shortly after to score his second goal in successive games, showing good instinct to latch onto a Mathieu Debuchy cross."

Holding fitting in nicely.

 

[BobP]

He'll probably start the season in the starting 11.

I agree with this, he really needs to be given a position and just stick to it.

Personally I do not believe that he has the mobility to be a DM or RB, though he does seem to have the qualities needed to be CB and that's where I would stick him.

 

[BobP]

Reminded me of when I first saw a young Bobby Moore live.

Exceptional footballer.

Yeah he was fantastic. Gave me the same buzz as when I watched the 15 yr old Nat Lofthouse score his first goal for Bolton.
