Ever since The Invincibles started to leave in dribs and drabs and were replaced with, what we perceive to have been very average players bar a few, Arsene Wenger has been on the end of quite a few critical, damning and sometimes quite vile comments. He’s been accused of being tight, lining his own pocket, […]

Not a lot of news to report today, other than the BBC have picked up on the Giroud story and suggest his signing will be announced soon, well let’s hope so but until we see something on afc.com, it’s just another rumour. Robin van Persie and is Dutch International team-mates are of the brink of […]
Don’t you just love him? He’s taken to this International Football like a fish to water. 😉 Despite all the rumours about Johan Djourou moving to Italy, he has denied this story and has committed his future to Arsenal. Not sure what to make of that one.. Onto todays post: Arsenal blogs all over the […]
So it seems the Giroud story could have ‘legs’ after Montpellier coach Rene Girard gave an interview to French radio station RMC. Girard said: Giroud loves England as well as Arsenal. We know Wenger wants him in his team. If they make an offer that’s probably where he’ll go. It’s likely that Giroud had to […]
You just have to love The Metro, yesterday the story was about Nasri and a possible return to us, which of course we all laughed and scoffed at, well today it’s about us trying to sign another Russian player. This one is pretty special and he’s already bagged two goals in the Euros for his […]
If it’s just a vast salary that Robin is after of course: He is vital to us and has been an extremely good captain, but if somebody comes along and offers Robin £250,000 a week then I am afraid we cannot compete with that. With players, you never know what they are going to do. […]
Johan Djourou’s agent has been touting his player around in the press, suggesting he could quite easily play in Italy or Spain next season. He’s also gone as far as to suggest that a few meetings with Serie A sides are lined up. Special Agent Flavio Ferraria told Radio Crc: Can Djourou join Napoli? It’s […]
Thankfully, not with us! Denilson has been talking about his future: There is the possibility of maybe signing a four or five-year contract. My lawyer talked to Arsenal and they asked to wait to see what happens in the Brazilian Cup before talking again. Anything could happen. Sao Paulo are doing their best to keep […]
We all know that Ivan Gazidis met the AST last night, I wasn’t there so can only report what I have read. Briefly: Usmanov will not be welcome on the board because he could upset the stability which is currently in place. Robin van Persie – Well I think we all know about that by […]
Ivan Gazidis has finally spoken about the situtaion surrounding our captains future: Robin sat down with us at the end of the season and we had a good discussion. What we agreed at that meeting was that we would keep all the discussions we had over the summer to ourselves and make announcements when it […]
Couple of titbits: French team-mate and our shining light Koscienly, has been singing the praises of Yann M’Vila and he’s going all out to convince him to join us whilst they are together in the French camp. Would he be good at Arsenal? Of course. I will try to convince him to come when we […]
Morning Gooners, Whilst all the talk is about transfers this summer and how much we believe Wenger has to spend, I thought I would give you just a little food for thought. Rumours are spreading that we’re after this player and have missed out on another, here are a few we are linked to: Jan […]
