Auba signs! Live announcement on Arsenal website.
I kind of think he signed like 2 months ago but Arteta and Auba have been having too much fun teasing us about it to go forward with an announcement

For real though, this live stream has been pretty fun and uplifting. Auba just walking around the Emirates face timing on his phone seemingly about to cry the whole time.

I just read Auba is the first club captain to sign an extension longer than 1 year since Tony Adams. Arteta signed a 1 year deal as captain and retired the next year. That is crazy.

Auba is just so damn likable.

Emi to Villa is official. Heck of a way to leave a mark on the club. Dude was nails over the last few months. Shows a lot of class to do an exit interview.

That makes Ozil our longest serving senior player having debuted about 2 weeks before Bellerin.

Damn. The feels. Class act. This is the most amenable, respectful transfer I've ever seen. As I said before, maybe one day it will make sense for him to return. Best of luck, Emi.

Report from an Italian journo that claims we agreed personal terms on a 5 yr deal with Aouar 2 weeks ago and are trying to hammer out terms with Lyon so we can finalize the deal.

Also seeing some reports that we have agreed a 1.8m fee with Dijon for Runarsson.

Saw that we had a 10m deal rejected by Brentford for Raya. I think this probably happened last week. Doesn't really make since to be spending money on 2 GKs when we are scraping funds together for Aouar or Partey

I wonder if they plan to offload Leno next summer. Some of the Raya stuff I've heard talk about trying to offer a purchase with loan back to get Brentford to bite. Makes no sense to loan back if we need him now. But if we get Runarsson now on the cheap and then Raya next summer we could intheory run with Raya / Runarsson and use Leno to get more cash. Would be a little worried that Raya & Runarsson aren't good enough though.

I'd be very concerned then as well. We had two high quality GKs. We've sold one this summer. Wouldn't make any sense at all to offload Leno next year and then have 2 GKs with A) No PL experience, B) one of which is a 2nd string guy with a relegation side in France who was benched over the season.

Yep. I'm hoping that the links to both is more of a 1st & 2nd choice for backup and not so much wanting both.

If they are intending to off-load Leno, then they really screwed up the goalkeeping situation.

So, while I wouldn't put it past them, I also am pretty skeptical of a report stating they intend to get rid of Leno.

Ive seen no report claiming that. Just my own speculation based on other reports.

Lol if we get past Leicester City in the league cup, we get the winner of Liverpool/Lincoln. Who messed with the EFL Cup difficulty settings

Wasn't Runnerson the #2 at Dijon? Do we really think he's the replacement?

Aubameyang with a sweet flick up to Lacazette who finishes with a confident header.

1-0!

I'm judging him too soon but Ceballos isn't sharp today and he's brought a real attitude with him. Visibly airing frustration out there

Arsenal is absolutely flooding the West Ham penalty area with players. The Hammers are starting to struggle getting to lose balls and clearing their zone

No ones really picks up Antonio and he gets an easy tap in.

This back line just hasn't yet quite meshed. I said the same thing last week. I like what Gabriel has brought but he and Holding aren't quite reading each other perfectly right now

Is Holding supposed to be working inside of the scorer there? He just ran with him.

Well, it did him no good to be behind the play there so yeah he should have tried to get around.

I do wonder if he thought Gabriel was going to peel back and into the lane Antonio was coming into

Much more silence

Tip of the hat to Ceballos who had a very nice 2nd half. His hustle won the ball back and began the move for the winning goal.

So possibly Torreira to Atletico Madrid and Mustafi to Lazio. Building up that bank for the midfield rebuild
