And, we're off.....2016/17

No if we get to the semi final then it will be probably because we are looking like finishing 5th or lower in the league and therefore it will have a totally different focus.

IMO the EL will be the european. equivalent of the domestic league cup in Wengers eyes. Very much a non event unless things are going pear shaped in the league. Take stock in December/ January and see what the position is then. Kids will probably get us through the first stages anyway but there is no way that he play a full strength first team in early stages.

But, like Utd this year, winning the Europa League could be your only way back into the champions League, so perhaps wanting Wenger to play the kids could be you cutting your nose to spite your face.

who are these kids we are supposed to be playing, arsenals squad tiny compared to how it used to be, dont have the volume of decent youngsters that were there before thats for sure

They're mostly out on loan but quite a few promising ones Nwakali, Bielik, Zelalem, Akpom, Iwobi, Reine-Adelaide, Crowley, Campbell, Bennacer, not all will come in but expect 2-3 will.

Might see Schnezy back as well after a decent loan spell at Roma.

Thomas Tuchel has left Dortmund! Maybe on his way to Arsenal ? That would worry me as he appears to be a quality manager who would improve Arsenal

still holding out with some hope the rumours arent true here lol

Announced in the telegraph, so probably true. 2 more years of ground hog day.

A couple of young Chelsea strikers are looking to move on to get a chance of first team football. Solanke to Liverpool and Abraham to either Brighton or Newcastle. It will be interesting to see if they go through and how they progress. It would be good to see Loftus Cheek move on as well, let's see if he is as good as they hope.

Could end up at Roma. They've just sacked Spalletti despite recording their highest ever points and goals total and after securing automatic qualification to the CL Group Stage.

Spaletti rumoured to have had talks in regards the Inter job and not signing a new contract - also was eyeing a job in China
