Morning all, This one relates to the outgoing Gervinho. According to reports, Walter Sabatini of Roma has been in London and an agreement is very close for Gervinho. After a couple of offers for our winger/striker had been turned down, it appears that some kind of deal has been sorted out which includes Gervinho going on […]
Morning all, So who will break first? Who will bottle this Suarez scenario? It is two-fold really. A player may want to go, but then somebody has to pay the value or worth of that player.

Morning all, Well this is a huge statement made by John Cross, the man following Arsenal whilst on tour in the Far East: Gedion Zelalem looks the one to watch. Whisper it quietly, but the word is he’s every bit as good as – if not better than – Cesc Fabregas at the same age. […]

Morning all, So the latest gossip links us to Mata, well in my mere humble opinion, he’d be a wonderful addition to our side, he’s pure class. A little genius who would give us something quite special in attack. Whether that poisonous little man who manages Chelsea would sanction such a sale to us is […]
Morning all, Has there ever been such a tedious transfer window….? Jose bids for Rooney, Arsene says we can afford his wages and wham.

Morning all, Chelsea have started the ball rolling in the transfer window, well, they have got all the journalists and Sky Sports presenters excited. Yesterday it was confirmed that they had made an official bid for Wayne Rooney which was rejected. Jose made it clear later in the day that he is quite determined to […]
Morning all, The logical answer to that is, because we weren’t ever interested in signing them in the first place. There maybe many a piece of gossip in the newspapers, but I doubt they really know who Arsenal are hoping to sign, they just like to stir the pot! Why? Because they know that many […]
