I had my doubts when I first saw the new kit. but then I saw them playing in them and I thought it was awesome! I love the new kits.
ok secondly, is Wenger transforming Pires into the new CM if he is my opinion is that he is a little small, but very capable.
and how would you rate their team so far?
I see them taking EPL title but washing out of CL :(, I dont think the experience is there.
but thats just my opinion, what do you think?

Pires is actually 6'1". He wasn't too bad in a what was basically a preseason friendly, but when the real stuff starts against Newcastle, I think he'd be found wanting in the 'putting your foot in' department. But by then Gilberto and Cesc will both hopefully be up to speed (a game against Bevern and the Charity Shield), and we may have a new addition too!
I think we've got another good chance of the CL, I think the PL is probably about 1 in 3...

I say barely capable against weakened preseason squads. He's just not hardy enough to cut it and frankly his presence in the middle has accelerated my hair loss...

Agreed - Pires in center midfield is a mistake, plain and simple. He just doesn't have the legs or grit for center mid in the EPL.
