The Mirror is reporting Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is currently in negotiations with two of the Gunners key summer targets, with as many as four more on the horizon. Morgan Rogers and Bruno Guimaraes are topping the list.

We’ve just lost 3-0 against a team which has reached Champions League’s form at exactly the right time.
‘Pool, City are out of our league, no need to lose too much sleep about it. We were 0-0 ‘til the moment when we were made to play without Luiz, Xhaka, Smith Rowe, Saka, and Tierney, i.e., probably our 5 best/most consistent performers since the season started; against in-form scorers, and painful as it is, I don’t see why it should come as a surprise that we crumbled eventually.
Tierney/Luiz won’t be available Thursday, so it might be a good idea to reverse to 3-4-3, as during our successful FA run of games last year, something like – with a few bold changes (Xhaka, Saka, …):
Leno
Chambers Holding Xhaka
Bellerin Partey Odegaard Saka
SmithRowe
Lacazette Aubameyang
But, I also think a 4-4-2 XI like the one below:
Leno
Bellerin Chambers Gabriel Saka
Partey
SmithRowe Xhaka
Odegaard
Lacazette Aubameyang…could do a very good job.
And lastly, it would be nice if twittos/so-called Arsenal “fans” could stop maligning our lads … but that’s only wishful thinking, I know that too.
But really that “Laca-Auba can’t play together” nonsense (or, to put it, otherwise, “in order to win more games/score more goals, we need to take out of the team one of our two best goal scorers”) is really exhausting. Having said that, I would have nothing against bringing Martinelli in, earlier in the games.
