At the end of last season, there was a sense there could be a revolution at the Emirates last season.
And, yes, I know we hear it every year. The infamous transfer war chest, big signing, lofty targets and some outgoings. But this year really was supposed to be different. A shake-up with players out, big signings in and those who fell short last season would be shown the door.
Yet here we are with three days until the Premier League kicks off and it feels like Groundhog Day all over again.
There has been just one big signing with Granit Xhaka coming in for £30million, a bargain £2million deal with Bolton has been done for England under-21 centre half Rob Holding and Japanese prospect Takuma Asano signed.
But, predictably, Arsenal are already facing an injury crisis with Per Mertesacker out until 2017 and Gabriel is out for two months through injury.
