Morning all. Sky Sports: Willian could be heading to Corinthians. Lucas Torreira is close to joining Fiorentina. Crystal Palace are one of a few clubs keen on signing Eddie Nketiah. Fenerbahce are interested in Sead Kolasinac. No offers or interest shown in Hector Bellerin, Reiss Nelson, Mo Elneny, Alex Runasson or Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Yet! We’re down to eight. […]

Morning all. A factoid for you. A human being will remember more if she/he is he told less. Overload a brain with ideas, tactics, instructions etc, and there’s a high chance that the important things go in through one ear and out the other. Make of that what you choose. Mikel Arteta made three changes. Ben […]
Morning all. Stan Kroenke has sent the fans a message via today’s match programme which reads: Welcome to the start of a new Premier League season here at Emirates Stadium. The first home league game of the season is always a special moment in the calendar and this season it’s made even more special […]
Morning all. In an ideal world, the Aaron Ramsdale transfer to Arsenal would never have materialised but only because Arsenal had kept hold of Emi Martinez. Ideal and world are two words which seldom go together and I think it’s time to move on from the Argentine who along with rest of his team, conceded […]
Morning all. It’s official, Martin Odegaard is now an Arsenal player and will wear the number 8. Aaron Ramsdale is right behind him with just a few bits of paperwork to complete. Odegaard cant play on Sunday because of a Visa issue apparently and I very much doubt Ramsdale will oust Bernd Leno so soon, […]
Morning all. Don’t know about a new number 10, but it seems a new number 11 is on his way in after the same player gave it back in May. Superstition aside, a number is irrelevant. It’s what a player does on the pitch which matters to the team. In flashes, Ødegaard showed […]
Morning all. The clock is ticking by quickly and Arsenal, having already made bold moves during this transfer window, look to be back in business again. I know much of what we read is speculation but that’s social media and Fleet Street’s finest for you. Arsenal need a few players, they lost the opening fixture […]
Morning all. When I first read about a potential swap deal between Coutinho and Aubameyang I thought the idea was stupid. After all, he’s 29 years old which goes against the kind of profile Arsenal have already added this summer. I also thought this smacks of laziness by the club because he’s Brazilian and possibly […]
Morning all, Will Rook, sports writer for Betway has been chatting with defenders of the past, discussing how the duties of a defender has changed. Mikael Silvestre: If you switch off, you’re done. You can’t rest like strikers or midfielders can. This is the Silvestre who enjoyed a successful career at Man Utd, not the […]
Morning all. Asking a simple question about where Mikel Arteta is taking Arsenal doesn’t mean I think he should be sacked here and now. Questioning what goes on during a game isn’t me trying to be a footballing expert either, in fact I don’t think it takes an expert to see something is wrong at […]
Morning all. According to the rumours which have been circulating for a while now, Mikel Arteta wants to sign a goalkeeper, creative midfielder and a striker. This is only my opinion but unless the goalkeeper is physically stronger, better with the ball at his feet, a better shot stopper than Bernd Leno, it’s likely the […]
Morning all. Jamie Carragher couldn’t wait to tell the world that Arsenal were bullied when Brentford scored their second goal. Same old, same old he said or something like that, the glee in his voice obvious. A better pundit would have highlighted how Bernd Leno was being grappled as he tried to do his job. […]
