A Transfer Rumour Rant! Hanging on for Balotelli to work his magic….

Just a brief word on England last night before Kev’s post. Rubbish, disorganised, naive, gutless, I could go on and if that’s the best they can manage, they deserve to be heading home. I truly hope that just because change is clearly needed, Roy Hodgson doesn’t rush Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back and nor do I hope […]

Santi Cazorla exit confirmed. If he plays for Chile, sign him!!

Morning all. What was that last night? Dogged, determined, team spirit, great work ethic and on top of all of that, not one single player didn’t give their all for their team. What a fantastic performance by Chile to send Spain out of the World Cup. Spain on the other hand were awful, apart from […]

Arsenal 'missing out'? Vermaelen and Monreal join the exit list…..

Morning all. I’m feeding off of the scraps this morning, a bit like the newspapers really, especially The Independent. They have a headline suggesting we are set to miss out on Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata after German club Wolfsburg submitted a £15.9m offer for the 21-year-old. How can we ‘miss out’ on signing a player […]

Are Arsenal players taking the mickey?

Morning all. Maybe that heading should read, are Arsenal FC and some of the clubs players taking the mickey. Out of Manchester City of course. Emmanuel Adebayor. Signed for £7 million, sold for £25 million. Kolo Toure.  Signed for £150,000, sold for £16 million. Samir Nasri. Signed for £12 million – sold for £25 million. Gael Clichy. […]

Santi Cazorla admits his time is up. Ivan talks transfers & England kick off…..

Morning all. Once again an Arsenal player helps me out for a post. We’ve heard from Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil, now we have an input from the Spanish camp from our own little midfield maestro: I think that Spain as a country has always been obsessed with the World Cup. We often spoke about […]

Santi to Spain, Reina linked. A Double Blow, or are Arsenal simply moving onwards and upwards…….

Morning all. Well I guess it came as no great surprise, Arsenal didn’t want him and he’s moved to another part of London. Do I care? No, not especially. Why? Because I didn’t like the way he left us and maybe, neither did the hierarchy at Arsenal FC. Or it really could be as simple […]

Arsenal in Bressan talks? Ozil so unlike Podolski & Giroud leaks details on transfer target….

Morning all. Finally, the World Cup kicks off tonight with the hosts Brazil, taking on Croatia. Whilst Lukas Podolski is thinking his German side have a tough group in the World Cup, Mesut Ozil sees it all a bit differently: Wherever we go, I think opponents are reluctant to play us because we are very […]

Vela returning! Fabregas deal by Friday? Lukas Podolski wants out of tough group….

Morning all. First up today, Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has been quoted as telling Spanish radio station Cadena SUR: Arsenal have informed us that Vela will be with them next season. So is that our striker situation sorted, our winger situation sorted, or are Arsenal simply resigning Carlos Vela because they can and of course […]

Arsene wants De Jong! Double French swoop? Scouting players at a World Cup.

Morning all. How many stories/headlines have we read which suggest that Arsene Wenger/Arsenal are going to ‘scout’ a player during this summers big competition? Lorenzo Insigne and David Ospina are two in the last couple of days. When clubs are looking for new players, I’d like to think and I’m sure they have, monitored any […]

Vela getting closer to a return. Things are starting to move in the Academy…

It will be a few more weeks before the ‘new man’ arrives at the Arsenal Academy, but I am already looking forward to Andries Jonker getting his feet under the table, as the club continue to freshen things up behind the scenes. Whatever the reasons, it seems that things are-a-changing, not only in the Medical […]
