Give it to Ron

He isn’t though so all good , our best midfield although early days looks to be Flyn , Les and Fernandes

Birmingham after Stansfield for 9-10m think he will be great there . He scored great goal against us and looked good but too similar to Archer for that money?

But behind Flyn and Big Les and without Aribo or Smallbone off the wages we couldn’t afford to buy him.

🚨 Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Neto from Bournemouth on a season-long loan, with no option to buy. (Source: @David_Ornstein) #DeadlineDay

Neto having medical this morning

🍒 Neto medical at Arsenal this morning. Although has moved at speed in the public domain, behind scenes part of master plan with Kepa signing, as per below about carrying two GKs on big money #afcb #afc Kris Temple

Odd I thought it was a paperwork issue now seems it’s an injury why off. New: Armando Broja’s loan move to Ipswich is off. Chance something else develops pre DDay, but likelihood will recover and rehab from foot injury and then revisit options in January.

Not in ground there wasn’t from Saints end I was in

Stewart 2 weeks away? There may be good reasons for that one though

I know it was only Cardiff B but I loved watching Big Les play he is a Rolls Royce of a player. Get him match fit and alongside Flyn and will be a joy to watch and help us this year.

Watched different full backs to me then.

You don’t think Bree and Taylor played well? I think going by Blackmore our wide man will be Fraser.

On coach going home after weird game and different to some on here. Bree and Taylor were very good defensively. Edwards composed and did well in his position not so in midfield poor move. Wood poor on ball and liability. Big Les will be some player as will Fernandez alongside Flyn. Archer was sharp and SAA looked positive and good goal . Edozie should really have done better on 3 occasions not sure where he is going at moment. ABK , Lallana good subs controlled well. Dibling at times tried too hard but he is some talent. Surprised Cardiff took off Colwill who was excellent for them. good win and enjoyable drive home on coach now

Why would he leave that beautiful city for Shirley Mutant Mile or rat infested Ocean Village ? The bugger I saw at Lazio game could have put a saddle on it

Not an upgrade on McCarthy who couldn’t get a game last season ahead of Bazanu until injured?

Vickery is well versed on SAmerican football and IMO knows his stuff on players and markets.

Shane Long at Watford?

Can we have the same option as we did with Charlie with them?

N/t

Manning for Taylor who came on as sub Saturday and think that’s the team as will want Manning to get some game time

Not at all the point was another keeper mentioned in this thread as an option now isn’t.

In the pre season game Onauchu came on as sub he played a deeper 9 and linked it - he set up Armstrong who scuffed wide. He gave us the focal point we currently don’t have as an option . Not just to hoof to.

Palace after Travers from Bournemouth as cover for Johnstone too I read.

I was keen last year to go to 5 at back and think it’s ok but this season the 2 forwards so wide and massive hole in middle is where it’s wrong .
