New coaches have been announced......Bould remains
Bit surprised but I think Unai wanted somebody from the old regime to show him the ropes in the league. Who knows Bould mightn't be the mute gimp he was sitting next to Wenger under Emery and could finally be able to teach our team how to defend and have free reign to give the team a bollocking when needed from now on alongside Juan Carlos. Lord knows some of the ponces in our squad could do with one.
Should have kept Lehman IMO. He would have been great for Leno.
Stop smoking crack mate it will leave you brain damaged. Or more brain damaged.
Do we really need this:
Jens: "ok for sure run out every chance you get"
Leno: "why? What if I give away a silly penalty or get sent off?"
Jens: "Ach! Do not worry. This is good ja!"
Leno: "why?"
Jens: "they will say you are the mad and crazy keeper ja. This is important."
Leno: "fuck off."
It's not really a big deal for me but tbf he only just got there as a coach. Might not be as mad in that position. Also being a German and an Invincible to boot could've helped Leno settle. Like I said though in the grand scheme of things it's not really an issue.
I know you're not a fan of Lehman DB10 but despite his mad moments ,of which I grant you there were many, for the most part he was a solid keeper and a club legend by default for being an Invincible as well as leading us to Champions League Final in 2006 with 10 clean sheets (granted he fucked us over in the final ). I was 11 years old at the time but I can never forget his FA Cup final performance in '05 against Man U. He single-handedly won us the Cup against a Man Ure team that was far superior to us on the day.
loving his business so far this season, we've got areas to improve and we're improving them, we cannot rely on cech, kos or bellerin next season and he's remidied it (if sokratis is confirmed that is) and like the fact he isn't being sentimental and letting wilshere go.

Juan Carlos Carcedo is a right old fiery bloke. Ozil won't know what's hit him.
Bring it on.
I would imagine that all our precious little darlings won't know what's hit them. Anybody who has spent their last few years under TOF is in for a serious wake up call. Can't wait
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has made a personal call to Sevilla's Argentine midfielder Ever Banega in an attempt to convince the 29-year-old to join the club. (Estadio Deportivo, via Mirror)
Anyone know what's happening with Banega - is he joining THE Arsenal - I caught about 20 mins of the Argentina game yesterday and he totally was bossing the mid-field...

Rumour is that seville dont want to sell and he doesnt know if he wants to join us and his family are happy in seville - all that adds up to the answer probably being NO
