Great, great signing.
Reminds me of when we got Pat Jennings from spuds, after they thought he was finished. Imho, he's still as good as Courtois, but obviously Courtois has many more years left in him so we had to go with him. But for that terrible head injury, I think Cech would have gone onto be the greatest keeper to have ever played in the PL. |

Is he still recovering from that? I've seen him still wear the headgear when playing

Good to see we've done our first signing early on. Should make us feel much more secure with Cech in goal.

It was found that he has a thin skull and was very lucky he didn't suffer a much more serious injury, one that would have ended his career or even worse |

Now that it's signed, I'm very happy that Cech is ours. A top quality keeper shouldn't be sniffed at. Also good to see some good business done relatively early for a change. Hopefully some more will be joining him, but that's to be seen.

Agreed, I think the back 4 will be more confident now and Cech will marshall them better. Ospina is a good shot stopper but that's it, if he stays hopefully he will learn from Cech.
Our 1st great GK since mad Jens. Cech is a massive improvement and will help keep the goals against column down. Just need to score the big goals in the biggest games. Sanchez is certainly capable of it but we need a few more. |

Abou Diaby has been released having reached the end of his contract. Shame his career ended with that horror tackle from Dan Smith as he showed glimpses of a great player.

Great credit to Wenger who has stuck by him for so long, but there comes a time when enough is enough.
He was a sensational player at his best. |

The Telegraph reporting we are ready to listen to offers for David Ospina, Lukas Podolski, Joel Campbell and Mathieu Flamini to free up space in the squad for transfers.
Also Abou Diaby will be allowed to train at Arsenal whilst looking for another club. Nice gesture and leaves open the possibility of keeping him should his injury problems improve. Regarding transfers our interest seems to have switched from Vidal to William Carvalho after scouts were sent to watch the Euro U21 Champs final where he was named player of the tournament. Personally I would much prefer him to Vidal to add physicality and height to our midfield. He is also alot younger so we should get a good few years out of him. |

Ospina - Keep him, make him our No.2 get rid of Chesney.
Podolski - Had plenty of chances to be consistant. Get rid. Joel Campbell - Hasn't had any chances to prove himself. Give him playtime. Flamini - Served us well but no longer needed. Let him go. |

How do we know Campbell is not the required level if he's never had any chances to show what he can do at this level?

Last 4 seasons on loan. Exactly 100 appearances and a grand total of 14 goals tells you pretty much all you need to know.
Cut him loose. |

Ozil is in the same kind of mold as well. Good player who could have been great. Shame. |

Can't see this happening and I've heard he is more interested in Liverpool, but an exciting prospect to say the least.

You shouldn't need a membership as the Emirates Cup is on General Sale to those without a membership. You might need an online account though to sign in which is free.

Alexis Sanchez scores the winning pen for Chile to win the Copa America.
Congrats Chile and Alexis! |

Sanchez is just out of this world incredible! What a player!!! And so modest and completely low maintenance. Absolutely world class! If Wenger doesn't injure him, I believe he can lead Arsenal to the PL title
