Gervinho back to France? Further Higuain talks & Should Wenger be given so much money?

Morning all, Stewart Robson, since leaving Arsenal seems to have more to say about the club and Arsene Wenger than he ever did when he was employed by them. Many don” share his views, many really don’t like his views. His latest: Arsene Wenger doesn’t appear to want to sign the top-class players, or what […]

Arsenal to offer £17 million for power horse? German DM linked – The Wonderful Football Summer…..

Morning all… I’ll kick off with a story from The Daily Express – they suggest we are ready to table an offer of £17 million for Paul Pogba. Not sure how much truth is in that, or if indeed he’d be worth that much but it was pretty clear that Fergie was really cheesed off […]

Laurent Koscielny – A quitter or another victim? Wenger/Sagna ready for new challenge elsewhere?

Morning all, Big story hitting the headlines relates to Laurent Koscielny who is supposed to have said: I feel good at Arsenal, if we have ambition to fight against the other teams of course I want to stay here. It’s hard psychologically. We are constantly pressured because if Arsenal is not in the Champions League […]

Rooney, Walcott & Oxlade-Chamberlain….Front of the queue for his signature but……

Mentor/Agent for  Victor Wanyama claims that we are at the front of the queue should the Celtic player leave his club this summer: Victor’s father Noah calls me almost every week and he tells me Arsenal’s interest is big.

Aaron Ramsey wants a new midfield partner & Grenier is moving to Arsenal, or is he?

Morning all, Our link to Clement Grenier has become nearly as boring as the Cesar and Jovetic ones. One minute he says he has made up his mind over his future, then he says ‘more or less’ – there was even a comment suggesting he might stay in France.. For goodness sake, why don’t these players […]

David Villa still possible. Wanyama is a must! Indonesia fixture could be great news for Arsenal fans…….

Morning all, Another day of waiting, hoping and maybe even praying for some good news. Could that good news be the sacking of our goalkeeping coach, maybe the attacking coach too as we have become so predictable going forward. New ideas, a new approach and a whole new Arsenal. Now wouldn’t that be good…? We […]

Blaming Thierry Henry. Cesc return looking very likely, but not to Arsenal….

Morning all, I’ll kick off with the gossip and the main headlines are all about Cesc Fabregas. Both Manchester sides are very much interested in signing the player with £30 Million being the reported price. Ouch, that will hurt if he ends up at either of those clubs. Julio Cesar reckons he’s in talks with […]

Is this the worst Arsenal team in the Wenger Era? Stats don’t lie. Or do they?

Morning all, Last season’s statistics and results can now be consigned to the historical archives. Or should they? As the debate rages on it would be foolish to say that now everything is over for it is not. While the hard facts and results are now behind the club, the performances and decisions will still […]
