Hi ed's, I just red that draxler has told Wolfsburg he wants to leave and was assured he could whilst he was at the euros so is there a possibility of us signing him? thanks.

{Ed001's Note - I am not aware of any current interest in him. He has made it public to try and drum up some interest, so maybe Arsene will turn to him, but right now he has not made any moves towards signing him.}

As it stands it'll be holding and chambers CB for start of the season. Even if we get someone will they be worth playing in 10 days. Won't know the team much and tactics etc. 10 days if we signed someone today isn't long enough.

He won't play Holding - it will be either Gabriel/ Chambers, Chambers/ Monreal or Gabriel/ Monreal. He might even rush back Kos like he did with Sanchez last year.

We didn't let Gibbs go so he can come in at left back and we can use Monreal CB.

I think I need Arsene to come and look at my shed, it has a hole in that could do with some patching up!

I dunno. He shouldn't start holding but is Gabriel still not in training? So chambers monreal. Rather holding monreal tbh or give chambers holding a go. Monreal is a lb. leave him there.

I tell you what 5kywalker, rushing back Kos is one of my major fears for the season.

Look how much it affected him, he even admitted he was knackered and that when he got injured, he came back with a fear that heavy tackles would put him out again, so he was more reserved when playing.

Kos, right now is probably the most important player at the club in my opinion.

If Özil is injured (please god no) it's a big loss, but Santi/ Jack/ Iwobi can play 10.

If Alexis is inured (once again looking at you god) we can play Iwobi/ Santi/ Theo out left.

But if Kos is out long term, I honestly don't have faith in any combination of the other Cb's to be consistently performing.

The problem is, I'm increasingly less and less positive about a CB signing and even less so about one before Liverpool, I just hope Arsene has learnt at least one lesson and our lads get a proper rest!

I can't see a signing before Liverpool. He might prove us all wrong, but squad integration etc when we are off on a second tour tomorrow will be difficult. Appreciate Scandinavia is hardly the other side of the world, but even if they were announced tomorrow, you'd still lose 48 hours with the squad. That takes us to 7/ 8 days before first game.

I think what we have now is what we take into Liverpool, and Wenger will wait for the wheels to really start turning on transfers with other clubs, or pull out an Ozil, Arteta, Per, Arshavin last minute voodoo that shocks us all.
