Are Arsenal players taking the mickey?

Morning all. Maybe that heading should read, are Arsenal FC and some of the clubs players taking the mickey. Out of Manchester City of course. Emmanuel Adebayor. Signed for £7 million, sold for £25 million. Kolo Toure.  Signed for £150,000, sold for £16 million. Samir Nasri. Signed for £12 million – sold for £25 million. Gael Clichy. […]

Santi Cazorla admits his time is up. Ivan talks transfers & England kick off…..

Morning all. Once again an Arsenal player helps me out for a post. We’ve heard from Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil, now we have an input from the Spanish camp from our own little midfield maestro: I think that Spain as a country has always been obsessed with the World Cup. We often spoke about […]

Santi to Spain, Reina linked. A Double Blow, or are Arsenal simply moving onwards and upwards…….

Morning all. Well I guess it came as no great surprise, Arsenal didn’t want him and he’s moved to another part of London. Do I care? No, not especially. Why? Because I didn’t like the way he left us and maybe, neither did the hierarchy at Arsenal FC. Or it really could be as simple […]

Arsenal in Bressan talks? Ozil so unlike Podolski & Giroud leaks details on transfer target….

Morning all. Finally, the World Cup kicks off tonight with the hosts Brazil, taking on Croatia. Whilst Lukas Podolski is thinking his German side have a tough group in the World Cup, Mesut Ozil sees it all a bit differently: Wherever we go, I think opponents are reluctant to play us because we are very […]

Vela returning! Fabregas deal by Friday? Lukas Podolski wants out of tough group….

Morning all. First up today, Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has been quoted as telling Spanish radio station Cadena SUR: Arsenal have informed us that Vela will be with them next season. So is that our striker situation sorted, our winger situation sorted, or are Arsenal simply resigning Carlos Vela because they can and of course […]

Arsene wants De Jong! Double French swoop? Scouting players at a World Cup.

Morning all. How many stories/headlines have we read which suggest that Arsene Wenger/Arsenal are going to ‘scout’ a player during this summers big competition? Lorenzo Insigne and David Ospina are two in the last couple of days. When clubs are looking for new players, I’d like to think and I’m sure they have, monitored any […]

Vela getting closer to a return. Things are starting to move in the Academy…

It will be a few more weeks before the ‘new man’ arrives at the Arsenal Academy, but I am already looking forward to Andries Jonker getting his feet under the table, as the club continue to freshen things up behind the scenes. Whatever the reasons, it seems that things are-a-changing, not only in the Medical […]

Wenger wants Remy and Balotelli. Sagna dreams of big victory…..

Morning all. Football fans, darn football fans!! Every now and again some numptie pops on here and ridicules an opinion/suggestion, bes rude and then he/she is gone, never to appear again. What’s wrong with some folk eh… Toothless twerps! Go and get your own Arsenal site up and running I say and see how you […]

Pedro bid made? Has Laurent Koscielny issued Arsenal an ultimatum?

Morning all. I know we have touched on this but there’s such little news…. Remember RvP’s statement about Arsenal’s ambition not matching his own, just before he headed up north? Of course you do and after such words, the club went on to sign Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla. Rumour has it that […]

Bid rejected, Insigne & Casillas linked. We need 'A Dribbler'….

Right after half time in the Last 16 stage of the 2005/2006 Champions League at the Bernabeu, Henry picked up the ball just inside the Real Madrid half, ghosted past several Madrid players before finishing at the far post leaving Casillas helpless… In the 2007/2008 Champions League quarter finals at the Emirates we were facing […]

Signing completed? Would Eto'o be a wise signing? Koscielny Crucial & Mertesacker Respect…..

Morning all. When I read the stories suggesting Samuel Eto’o wants to sign for Arsenal, I thought, Lord help us if this comes true…. But then I sat and thought about it. He’s free, he’s experienced, he’s knocking on a bit and wouldn’t expect to play every game. If Arsene Wenger finally signs the kind […]
