Arsenal make half a bid? Gourcuff and Matuidi surface again…

Morning all. According to The Express, we have made a £12.5 million offer for Antoine Griezmann. Reports in Spain suggest that the Gunners have approached Real Sociedad about signing the French attacker but have been firmly rebuffed. Sociedad are thought to have rejected the offer out of hand and insisted that Arsenal meet the Griezmann’s […]

Wenger confirms Striker deal possible. No Morata but Good News on others…

Morning all. Up front we lose Theo as a potential central forward and that’s maybe where we have to look outside. But we hopefully have Bendtner back in three weeks. We are there for the opportunities but it’s very difficult at the moment. Hoorah, Arsene wants a striker. So Theo is a striker, so why […]

It's Carvalho, Rondon & Jackson today. Talking up the Team Spirit….

Morning all. The rumour mill has stepped up a gear today: Apparently we are looking at Sporting Lisbon’s  21 year old defensive midfielder William Carvalho, well, that’s according to Portuguese Daily Record and reprinted by The Mirror. The Daily Mail believe that if we can’t agree a deal with Real Madrid for Morata, we are going […]

Will the FA take action? Last week Nick, this week Theo & both out for a month..!

Morning all. One of the things I love about this squad is how quick players are praise their team-mates. After Nicklas Bendtner came off the bench to score our first goal against Cardiff in the week, a number of players were straight in there to praise him. This week and despite not getting on the […]

Balotelli & McCarthy to Arsenal? Beating the neighbours with ten men has to be the best….

Morning all. Yep, that’s what the newspapers say. Mario Balotelli could be in for a shock return to the PL with us and with Lukas Fabianski on his way out, Reading’s Alex McCarthy is reportedly being lined up to replace him… Anyway….. How good was that eh- just how good was that? So many players out […]

Mandzukic lined up? Sanogo/Bendtner fitness dictate transfers. It's Derby Day…

Morning all. Yesterday Arsene Wenger said that he will wait to see the reports on Yaya Sanogo and Niklas Bendtner before he decides on whether to make a move for a striker during this transfer window. Come on Arsene, you really have to be kidding. Nik, who is the only one out of the two […]

Bendtner set for stay? Berbatov linked after another weak performance up front but another 3 points secured…

Morning all. We huffed and puffed our way to those three points didn’t we? But we got them in the end and that’s what matters. Cardiff came to do one thing and that was to defend and hope to catch us on the break but in all honesty, we hardly helped ourselves with the slow, […]

Giroud talks rubbish. Is this going to be Arsene Wenger's last Arsenal Transfer Window?

Morning all. I was chatting to a friend yesterday about this subject and it made me wonder whether this really could be the last transfer window Arsene Wenger gets to sign players for our club. His contract is yet to be renewed but whether that’s his decision or that of the board is unknown. Yesterday […]
