Completely disagree. Poldi will be immense for us. I actually think he will be a lot like Van Der Vaart just after he joined Spurs. He will have that kind of invigorating effect on us.

Yes I rate the guy highly and my post may have a lot of subjectivity in it, but I cannot see Lukas bombing at Arsenal.

@ last poster, the Newcastle fan - If you pick up Luuk De Jong and keep Papssis and Demba, your attack will be frightening. Don't see any reason why you can't challenge for the C/L spots next season.

Our third kit, I kinda like it

Lol. This is one of the most hysterical articles I've read all season considering the outcome. A must read. Why Downing is a better signing than Mata.

Agree with United 07 about Vida. Apparently he wont make the pre-season tour so then it's certain that he'll be eased back in during the season. Hopefully he's starting by September, would be a huge boost. If we sign Baines he'll start, I still think it's realistic, but yet don't expect it. Don't really expect anymore established signings. I think Cleverley will get his chance to lock down a place early on if he has a good preseason and can stay fucking fit for once, if he's struggling then I think we'll turn to Scholes. I really don't want us to be as reliant on him this season, much as I love him.

Szcesny

Sagna (Jenkinson to deputise till Sagna recovers from that broken leg)
Vermaelen
Koscielny
Gibbs (If he stays fit and that is a big if)

Song
Wilshire
Arteta

Walcott
Podolski

RVP (Assuming he is still there but if not then Giroud)

Hopefully M'Villa, another CB and decent backup goalie will be added to the mix too. If we get M'Villa not sure who will make way in that midfield.
