Ok only preseason curtain raiser and players missing for both sides , but a positive result today , and a giroud shot from outside the box ,but gunners fans need to keep their feet on the ground , the real test starts next weekend , for the gunners to be real challengers for the league still a couple more signings needed, cover for vermalen a sale and a midfield enforcer to break play up and protect the back four

Mangle chambers has done fantastic in preseason , but meritezacker will not be ready as he comes back today , so another centre back is needed for competition , young chambers is the future and he seems a good buy but he will probably be used sparingly in his first season at the club , unless there is a hidden gem inside the club? Two more signing that's what we need to compete at the top level central defender and CDM this is just my opinion , and look forward as always to the new season

Nah. Vermaelen hardly played at all the last 12 months, and the 6 months before that when he was playing, not very good. He went off the boil - shame, always thought he was a good player. Chambers can "cover" that kind of player easily. In fact, so could most other players in the team. Glad Man Utd did not get Vermaelen!!

Yes he did not play much over the last season but that was due to merts/ kos partnership plus injuries , which when he came back he was not the same , good player when he arrived but has gone off the boil , glad he snubbed utd and good luck to him at barca , good fee as well with only 1year left on his contract , and barca have now paid of approx a third of the emirates for us after all the players they have signed, but all top teams need four centre backs for cover so at present we have merts, kos, and chambers not sure of Miguel so one more needed , and a bustling centre mid to break up play and help the back four then perhaps we can dream of future trophies ?
