So the new season starts today and my first thought is what the hell is going on! We go into the the first game with our two best players on the verge of a move away, just one new rookie defender and four young new forwards.... add to that the futures of Bendtner, Eboue and Almunia are far from certain and a minor injury crisis and its fair to say we are not looking in the best shape...
Hopefully the game today can bring us back to reality and remind us that things aren't quite as bad as they seem, although it could of course go though other way if we don't get a result! There is still some time to sort out the mess of the transfer window but the way its going its very difficult to predict what will happen next. Gazidis has said all of the money from the Fabregas (and Nasri?) deals will go back into signings, so that gives us about 4 weeks to spend about £50 million.... how Wenger will approach this is anyones guess. My guess is that we won't spend that much at all, it wouldn't be the first time we have been mislead by information coming out of the club.
With key players leaving it will be interesting to see who makes the step up this season. Previously it has been Flamini, Song, Wilshere so who could it be this time round? Traore? Ramsey? Will Miyachi or Chamberlain have an impact?
Lets just see how the game today pans out and go from there : / : / : /
