Excellent winter window. A very different Arsenal to face Wolves…

Morning all. What a winter transfer Arsenal have had. Mesut Ozil, gone. Sokratis, gone. Stead Kolasinac, gone. Shkodran Mustafi, gone. Their wages, gone. For a while now, Arsenal fans, certainly many of us on here, have been crying out for a squad overhaul, a removal of some of the under performing or overpaid players. I […]

‘Utd held by under strength Arsenal.’ Indeed they were.

Morning all. I love a good headline and Sky Sports certainly had one yesterday evening. ‘Man Utd held by under strength Arsenal’. But it’s true, Arsenal were missing Tierney, Saka, Mari, Ceballos and Aubameyang. Utd however had a full strength squad. If they are seriously considered to be good enough to win the league then […]

Ødegaard and Draxler? Ozil finally departs.

Morning all. Thank goodness the Mesut Ozil saga is over and Arsenal can move on. Hopefully now the continued questioning about his future will end and Mikel Arteta will have different questions to answer in his press conferences, like ‘what on earth possessed you to sign Willian on a three year deal?” I jest of […]
