Telling us making signings during the world cup is impossible while he sits in South Africa or Brazil taking cash for being a pundit
Great to have these new players and apart from Torreira all have a pre season with us
Guendouzi signed a four-year deal and was filmed penning his contract at the club’s Colney training base under the watchful eye of Sven Mislintat
amazing isn't it ? - its taken the new guy six weeks to decide want he wants and go get them - six signings.
To be balanced here, the speed and efficiency with which these deals have been done is more down to mislintat than dick.
Where the contrast to the old french fcuk comes in is that he obstructed and stalled the deals while he dithered and fcuked about when he was in england, and when it was a world cup or euro's summer, he was too busy fcuking about on the beaches in his horrendous speedo's ( ) and coining tv money to do his real job

It's absolutely mental if you think about it. This new way of working and dividing responsibilities among professional people is clearly working. Yes, we haven't won anything yet but so far so good. So fucking good!

maybe he'll play Guendouzi until Torreira is up to speed - if he doesn't get picked for Frances U-20 squad,

nd judging by what Arsenal’s head coach has had to say about midfielder, he has not just been brought in as one for the future.
“He [Guendouzi] wants to learn and improve and will be an important part of our first-team squad,” Emery explained.
“We are delighted Matteo is joining us. He is a talented young player and a lot of clubs were interested in him. He has big potential and gained good first-team experience last season with Lorient.”
signed at 11am. and he started training at 1pm with the first team.
these comments are from the Irish Mirror :
On the topic of showing his new boss what he can do, Guendouzi wasted no time introducing himself personally.
Photographers captured the moment he shook hands with the gaffer, who has had the youngster on his radar for a number of years.
Once again Guendouzi showed no nerves on what could have been overwhelming for a 19-year-old, who has just left his home nation to forge a career abroard. In fact, it seems Guendouzi did nothing but showcase his confidence and maturity on Wednesday - and Emery, looking to build a mentally strong squad, will love that.
Guendouzi met his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday, but interacted with the squad as if he had been part of it for years.
It's yet unknown the role Guendouzi will play for Arsenal this season, how he will be deployed by Emery, and the amount of game time he will get.

The sheer size of the midfielder would worry any opposition player, and should come to his aid in the typically physical Premier League.
