Pre-Season 24-25

They are usually given three weeks off from the end of their time at an international tournament.

Looking at the dates each was eliminated, this would be:

Kiwior - July 16
Zinchenko - July 17
Jorginho - July 20
Trossard - July 22
Havertz - July 26
Martinelli/Magalhaes - July 27
Saliba - July 30
Raya/Saka/Ramsdale/Rice - Aug 4

I have no idea whether they’ll stick to the three week thing or whether they’ll make adjustments on a player by player basis. But just going off these dates I’d expect the first four on the full tour, Havertz and the Brazilians to maybe join midway, and then the rest to just join the team when they get back to England.

hope Havertz will join, cause the United game is on 7/27.

I only have last season’s Havertz and Rice jerseys, and Rice won’t join till August…

Beat Leyton Orient 2-0 behind closed doors today apparently. Jesus and Smith-Rowe scoring.

Arsenal XI: Hein (Nygaard 70), White (Rosiak 60), Timber (Rekik 46), Heaven (Monlouis 60), Lewis-Skelly (Nichols 60), Partey (Patino 46), Odegaard (Gower 60), Nelson (Nwaneri 60), Vieira (Smith-Rowe 46), Jesus (Salah Oulad-M’hand 60), Nketiah (Sagoe Jr 60).

Lewis-Skelly started at LB and Heaven at LCB it seems.

All our players look fat in the new kit.

Patino was involved in the friendly but isn’t mentioned. I presume he’s close to leaving?

Happy Arsenal returns Day.

FINALLY.

Is it the 17th of August already?

Jesus sombreros, Odegaard flicks, White tripping people for no reason, Arteta shouting all game…

Fuck is this another 3am Apple TV night?

I’ll catch the highlights on the morning commute.

Fake fans :man_shrugging:t3:

I hope we see Nwaneri get some real minutes playing alongside real first teamers, not just with the youth brigade at the death.

Is Nwaneri in the middle though? Interesting to see which way round he plays with Vieira.

What role would Salah Eddine play? He’s the only guy I’m not that familiar with?

I heard something about MLS playing LB - I think on one of my Arsenal podcasts. It’ll be interesting to see how well he does, although probably only in there due to lack of numbers in defense.

Anyway, just finishing off watching the Mets crush the Skankees. My dick is alread hard, and I’m ready for The Arsenal.

I’m going for a 4-0 win (Mets record over those overrated clowns from The Bronx).

My guess is that its Nwaneri in Odegaard’s right 8 position, Salah Eddine in the left eight, Vieira RW, Nelson LW, and Eddie CF. But I guess we’ll find out soon.

I think Bournemouth is playing pretty close to their strongest XI so I could see this being a rough result. But it’ll be a good test for the young players and get some minutes in everybody’s legs.
