Bouldy wasn't THAT great as a player... He had his moments of craziness.
However, the work he has done with the youth squads has been brilliant
(PL Youth Double 08/09 & PL Youth 09/10 winner) and he would have worked
with a lot of the guys about to break through the first team.
Coquelin, Yennaris, Afobe, Lansbury, Wilshire, Frimpong - He will know
them as players better than Arsene does. This is something I'm quite excited
about, as I want to see a core set of "Arsenal DNA" players in the starting XI,
with some world class signings sprinkled in.
Am FULLY excited to see Poldi in an Arsenal shirt, think he will be magic along
side RvP. Personally wouldn't mind seeing Walcott sold IF we could secure Hoylett,
But I'd rather see Gervinho go instead.
Rumours are Song will be on his way out as well if we secure M'Vila. Dunno how I
feel about that - I would like to see Song line up with M'Vila and Arteta in the middle
of the park as that would be a world class core midfield.

New Arsenal Away kit LEAK.
EDIT: It's supposedly purple hoops, not blue.

I've never really understood this. Do you follow England or is it all Liverpool for you?
Glad to see Bould move into that role.... he was the SECOND football sticker I ever owned. First was David O' Leary... they're the reason I started supporting Arsenal at the age of 4.
Steve Bould is also the reason I learnt the difference between Bold, Bald, Balled and Bould. Life changing shit right there.

Arsenal away kits should be yellow with blue trim and shorts.

Agree, but historically we have had blue away kits in the 1950s and 1960s.
My initial reaction was i'd rather have the other kit that looked like our 2008
3rd kit, but I've not seen a "proper" picture set yet.
Even the RAF home kit has grown on me now I know it's blue hoops not black.
The long sleeve one looks pretty good.
By the by, the new home kit will be our home kit for TWO seasons.
Mike G (Comms director) from Arsenal confirmed it via Twitter.

United's greatest kit was that grey one they wore for one match only where we drubbed them 6-3, then Fergie complained it was the kit's fault and that the players couldn't see each other.

I remember Norwich had a pretty special kit back in the 90s, and of course Tottenhams lovely brown shirt a few years ago

Not quite. Their hoops were bigger. But it does make you wonder.
Also, I recently found out that clubs don't make the calls on kits.
It's usually marketing directors at Kit companies and major retailers
like Kitbag, sat around a table.
Arsenal for example have years of data-sets from sales that indicate our
blue kits sell better than our yellow ones.
