A Delightful Preseason, and Transfer Talk

 So far (there's one friendly left), Arsenal has won all their games (four).  It doesn't mean a lot, but the team does seem ready to compete.  New arrivals are:  first and foremost Gabriel Jesus, the scorer we need; Fabio Vieira, a regrettably injured expensive attacking midfielder; Marquinhos, another Brazilian winger bought for very little; Matt Turner, US backup keeper to Ramsdale; and Oleksander Zinchenko, who can play in midfield (he's Ukraine's #10) and left back (for Man City).  I think we look good all over the field.  The injury woes of Tomiyasu and Tierney are the big worry, but now we have quality cover.  And they may stay fit for longer this year.
