Sokratis and even Chambers are above him, going by preseason.Upgrade? He’ll be playing alongside him. The fecking chuckle brothers of North London.

Exactly. We are opening up a clown college with him and Mustafi.The feck are we signing that clown for?
Actually, it mainly shows that the reports of a £40m transfer budget were a load of bollox.
The 40m figure sounds like bollocks to me. We're trying to be tight as usual, but putting the limited budget message out so that we don't get rinsed as normally happens. Letting everyone know you have 200m to spend isn't going to get you the best deals.
Kicking lumps out of people beside them. Arsenal play three CBs regularly.Where is Sokratis?
Time to have a bet on how many pens they concede between them. 14 I reckon.Exactly. We are opening up a clown college with him and Mustafi.

Not a fan either but after being told to do one by Leipzig, 24h left and at 8 million, i'll take it...The feck are we signing that clown for?
We won't be doing that again, IMO. Haven't seen it at any point this preseason and Emery has said he prefers four at the back.Kicking lumps out of people beside them. Arsenal play three CBs regularly.
Probably got the hump after lamps asked him to try and you know, defend. So he's thought, where can I go where defending is optional? Ah I know, Arsenal.
They've done alright considering the Koscielny situation came out of nowhere. If we can flog Mustafi then I'm ready to get excited. Why the feck won't West Ham buy him? They love our shite.It's my fault for reading reddit but farq me we have some stupid fans.
We'd have been better off with Koscielny than signing Luiz. At the very best our CB situation is the same as last season IMO.
Hopefully Tierney goes through as reports are suggesting though. I'll be really happy about that one.
Especially at that price. I'm surprised other teams aren't in for him - Spurs in particular if they are letting Rose go.Tierney would be a massive signing. There aren't that many quality LB's around.
I think Luiz is just an experienced body to throw in the mix. He's underwhelming as hell, but we needed someone with Koscielny going home.Tierney is a excellent signing.
He’s what people on here want to believe Luke Shaw is.
Luiz seems strange to me.
Funnily enough i think Liverpool would be the team that suits Luiz the most, he will have VVD and Robertson guiding him through the defensive phase and his range of passing to your front 3 would cause absolute havoc.I think Luiz is a clown of a CB but the rest of their signings have been very good.
They’re favourites for 4th imo.
Hernia is no big deal. The potential OP could be worrisome unless managed properly.I like Tierney but I feel like many are overrating him a little. There's no guarantee that he will make the leap from the SPL to the PL, especially if his injury problems get in the way.
Chelsea played with this clown last season (36 games) and had the best defense after City and Liverpool. So i'm fine with this clown.I think Luiz is a clown of a CB but the rest of their signings have been very good.

I hope you're right. But (even though it wasn't an option) I would have preferred to have kept Koscielny.Chelsea played with this clown last season (36 games) and had the best defense after City and Liverpool. So i'm fine with this clown.
Everywhere he was (Chelsea & PSG) he was a starter for them.
Yeah I would say he has become a better defender since he re-joined Chelsea.Chelsea played with this clown last season (36 games) and had the best defense after City and Liverpool. So i'm fine with this clown.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s pretty good on the ball and he’s clearly a better option than playing Mustafi, but I’ve always found him suspect defensively.Chelsea played with this clown last season (36 games) and had the best defense after City and Liverpool. So i'm fine with this clown.

Have you been waiting since 2014 to come on here and say Arsenal had a good transfer windowIf we can complete the Tierney and Luiz signings I'd be absolutely wrapped with the business we have done this window.
Our defense would still be suspect, but we have some players coming back as well (Holding, Bellerin).
Also a ball playing centre half like Luiz could make our transition from the backline quite tasty.
I dont get why Chelsea would sell him though? Surely this would leave them short of options at the back.. doesnt make sense.
Kos > Luiz in my opinion.Don’t get me wrong, he’s pretty good on the ball and he’s clearly a better option than playing Mustafi, but I’ve always found him suspect defensively.
You need a leader at the back and I don’t think that’s David Luiz, although having said i can’t think of many good options available at the moment.
Would you have been ok with swapping Koscielny for Luiz at the start of the window?
I've been waiting since 2009 when I started supporting Arsenal to say we have had a good transfer window.Have you been waiting since 2014 to come on here and say Arsenal had a good transfer window
To be fair you could play with just Kolasinac in a back one and you’d be fine. Nobody is messing with him.Kos > Luiz in my opinion.
Sokratis will be the leader at the back. He can do it.
If Luiz acts up we can get Kolasinac to deal with him.
Tierney and Pepe are undoubtedly excellent signings, Luiz is weird. But I think Tierney now will be a decently big upgrade to their defence, plus with Torreira and Guendouzi next to Ceballos in midfield (I'd assume), it's looking like a well balanced midfield. Might be a team that has some weaknesses physically and that could hurt them, but the front 3, a decently balanced midfield should improve them a decent amount overall. Their defence will still be a mess though I think, just a bit less with Tierney.
It’s not mentioned much, but Tierney is injured a lot. All different injuries too. He’s a good player, I like him; yet definitely not top class as far as I’ve seen. And he has Phil Jones syndrome.If Tierney is actually any good, why do Arsenal have a free run at him?...
Which other top team needs a LB other than Spurs, who are after Sessegnon?If Tierney is actually any good, why do Arsenal have a free run at him?...

Luiz is a fecking clown. Without his athleticism, which is fading, he’s going to be a major liability.
Ceballos isn’t a player that does much for me. He’s okay. Same with Torreira, plus he wanted to leave. I like Guendouzi, but he’s inconsistent from what I’ve seen. It’s not a midfield to make you tremble, but it could end up being functionally effective. That’ll be down to the coaching.
Laca, Auba and Pepe, is a good front three. They’ll score a lot of goals.
