Is it Christmas in August?

Waking up to find numerous messages in your email is sometimes great, usually it is terrible as the majority of them consist of spam or bills. Today is not such a day, today is a wonderful day as we have announced the signing of Vlad Chricheş, Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen. It’s kinda funny as only a month ago, I didn’t want the “golden boy” to leave as it may leave us with a large hole in our squad. Now, I will gladly pay for his cab fare as he has basically funded one of the most successful transfer windows in history. Not to mention how he has missed training for the past 3 days and acted like a total child. So to get back at him and his future employers, we have basically decided to drag our feet in the transfer so that Arsenal or whoever wants to buy some Madrid players are left with only hours to get things in order. What a fantastic day this has turned out to be.

 

Back to our newest signings, all will add depth and major amounts of quality, especially in two areas that we were lacking. Vlad is a right-footed Jan Vertonghen while Erik is a winger who loves to cut inside and score great goals. To be honest, I really could not see how our window could have gone any better. Maybe the next few days will lead to more signings which would then feel like Boxing Day or Kwanza, if I celebrated either.

 

Yesterday we finally got a real look at two of our most promising playmakers yesterday in the Europa League Playoff, Lewis Holtby and Tom Carroll. I was fortunate to get a stream of the match and see first-hand how well Tom was able to dictate play from deep while Lewis was more forward, playing in the no. 10 role behind Defoe. Both of these two are very special and can play integral parts to our squad while being able to bridge the midfield and the forward line. I cannot wait to see more of them in the upcoming matches. Great goal by Lewis and excellent vision by Tom on numerous occasions, setting up Defoe and our wingers.

 

Post-Match Thoughts

The lads were magnificent yesterday. Nothing bad about them. I cannot remember seeing anything terrible or troubling. Only a few misplaced passes in the early stages as the squad needed to get used to the pace of the match and the movement of their teammates. Great to see Sandro play the full 90 and be his usual dominating self, doing all the dirty work so that Tom and Lewis could run the show, creating numerous opportunities for Andros, Gylfi and Jermaine. Really nothing to report about the match except how well we played against lesser opposition, but again, you can only beat who is in front of you.

One Day Closer to the Reckoning

So I see that Arsene has yet to open the purse strings but secured the highly sought after free agent, Mathieu Flamini, beating out such other glamour clubs such as Somewhereinrussia FC and AS Godforsakenplace. Good move Wenger, I guess we will have to deal with the fact that even after all the money spent on our numerous signings, that we will still be in the black with the sale of a certain Welshman. But you know, he is such a genius he can do what he wants which includes sitting around while the rest of the world catches up and surpasses him and his club full of tools and bozos. Can’t wait to see how they cope with our physicality and speed this coming Sunday. Also, they should be happy as at least they can sell out that mostly empty stadium for the first time in God knows how long. Who said we don’t give to our neighbours?
