Chamakh and new kit set for debut in two weeks
With the summer’s big event coming to a close, it is just about time to shift gears to Arsenal matters.
Indeed, this post-season has not been short of action in north London by any means but the World Cup has duly overshadowed most of it.
The Gunners welcomed Marouane Chamakh as their first signing of the summer just over a month ago while Fran Merida chose to leave for Atletico Madrid.
Reserves youngsters Kerrea Gilbert, Luke Ayling, Sam Byles, Rhema Obed and James Dunn have been released by the club while scholars Daniel Boateng, Nico Yennaris and Roarie Deacon made the step up to becoming professionals.
Arsenal have also been busy unveiling new kits, making a rare double-launch of next season’s home and away strips recently.
Pre-season now beckons and this year’s edition will be highly anticipated.
2010/11’s preparations will begin in less than two weeks on July 17 against Barnet and the friendly at Underhill Stadium is likely to be Marouane Chamakh’s first taste of action in an Arsenal shirt.
This traditional pre-season fixture has been notable in recent years for the debuts of Eduardo in 2007, Aaron Ramsey a year later and Thomas Vermaelen last summer.
Relive last year’s meeting with Barnet below!
Aaron Ramsey recovered from his injury?? :s
Not yet mate. It would be too early.
right how come man utd have 1.2 billion in debt and we have 100 mill in debt and they can aford players for 30 mill arsenal get sorted out. if wenger goes we need someone like jose to replace him. in arsene we trust (Y)
Fran Merida William Gallas maybe Sol Campbell and Fish head out. Marouane Chamakh in…What the feck is going on at Arsenal?? 3 years of more people going out than come in. He is mentally bloody insane, he leaves it this close to get the Wenger bargains. We want to win a trophy arsene or you are gone.
I guess you know what is going on at Arsenal as far as players coming in, dont you.
WAIT!
great news:
A Portuguese site says “we are in for Portugal keeper Edaurdo”
thats typical wenger!!! only 4 mill for a 27 year old ( world ) class keeper!!
We are front runners so there must be serious interest in him!! Also the news are out of portugal and not the sun or any other sh… paper!!
my god i had a horrible dream in which i saw us playing the first pl match and chamakh wasn’t playing,silvestre started…sol was the referee and galls ran naked on the pitch shouting wenger u wanker why didn’t u sign anybody else!! then cesc arrived wearing a barca shirt sitting on top of pique…..please please god dont let this be true!!!
If true Vermaelen+Mertesacker Melo+Song Chamakh+Van Persie all look like brilliant partnerships and the prospect of a very strong spine something we have lacked for a long time
foreget schwarzer get eduardo he is the same price and ten years younger
eduardo is better than schwarzer
pleas wenger try to make big signing atleast 4 new faces. were arsernal fans but were tired of errusin
Arsenal for life till death do us part. Indeed we need to streng then d Arsenal squad in all ramifications. If its possible, i wud say we purchase d entire German national team. Did u seehw committed d lads were? Ready to die for 1another. Wenger should get our team to watch dse boys. To compete in dis yr ’s league, We need a good goalie like sharwazer though Eduardo will b beta as he’s 10yrs younger, 2 CB to replace rebels Gallas, senderos, silvestre, and probably Sol. Cos at d moment we ’ve gat only T.Vermaleen and J.Djourou. Cesc told me he ’s staying wen he was signing my Fab 4 pls stay jersey during a training section in South Africa. I trust he wud. In dat case we need a DMF dt can help in CB. Our attack looks sharp and has gat height. If we can stay injury free which is not likely, den d league is ours. If u believe let me hear u say a YES we can
Arsene is a top class manager believe me he’s going to bring us 3trophies at least this summer but this going to happen he must get a new keeper, defender & a top class striker Luis Suarez.
Arsene u must sign Lius Suarez he scored 7 goals for his club &49goals for the season in one gane what striker do u need more than this.
Arseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee get Suarez please believe me he’ll be a good parner for cesc as well.
wenger, it is high time you signed the replacements of gallas, merida and alumunia. man, hurry up from south africa, come back to your duty as arsenal manager.
paul mayemba can manage arsenal’s check book well than wenger. How can they give you money to sign up players and you take it back. wenger my dear caoch, get serious this season for at least a mug cup for the club
He might b d right signing bt wenger is fuckin useles.a complete miser.dnt want 2 spend n u want 2 get something dats a big lie.Gunnerz 4 lyf.
please wenger,,,we want to see luiz suarez in arsenal t shirt
you know that list you published all of them broke their leg except tv and i am scared you could have jinxed it
I really don’t understand why everybody thinks that Suarez will be great for Arsenal.
I do not think that he will fit in the EPL. For a striker he is not big enough (muscular that is).
If he does come to Arsenal or any other english team I see him getting very frustrated against the big defenders that he will face.
We do need a top class striker to put us out of the misery of having to watch Benntner week in and week out. I seriously beleive he’s sh*te and won’t score more than 5-6 goals all season long. (remember what he said at the beginnging of last season…..pls. drop Bentner.
