Morning all. Arsenal are set to make moves for Edinson Cavani, Marco Reus and Sami Khedira in the closing stages of the transfer window according to The Express. We all love a rumour, but this one is up there with one of the daftest I have ever read. I’d be over the moon if all […]
Morning all. Jim White, the Mr Excitable of Sky Sports on deadline day of the transfer window has predicted that we are far from done with signings: Arsenal will do more business and a big name as well, I’m certain. There you go, we can all relax safe in the knowledge that Jim White knows everything! Pffff! […]
Morning all. Gossip first: Kostas Manolas was left out of Olympiakos squad for a friendly fixture against Atletico Bilbao yesterday. This of course must mean that he’s on his way to Arsenal having been linked to us for a while now. Apparently a few other PL clubs, including the neighbours are interested in the big […]
Morning all. We are being linked to Greek CB Kostas Manolas again today. The 23 year old, 6′ 1″ Greek international currently plays for Olympiacos and was apparently voted as one of the top 50 performers in the World Cup. How many players were on show, 51? He’s under contract with his current club until 2017. […]
Morning all. Transfer gossip today relates to a possible exit. Lukas Podolski is wanted by Galatasaray according to reports coming from Germany. He, along with Per Mertesacker return to training today although none are expected to feature in our opening match against Crystal Palace on Saturday evening. Wasn’t it lovely to see Pat Rice at Wembley […]
Morning all. Just a few weeks ago, Arsene Wenger told us that if Thomas Vermaelen leaves, he’ll sign a replacement. Thomas Vermaelen has now gone, he’s joined Barcelona and I strongly suspect that Wenger has known all along that was going to happen. Why else would he have not played any part of or pre-season? […]

Morning all. Fingers crossed the Champions League draw favours us this morning. One of Athletic Bilbao, FC Copenhagen, Lille, Besiktas and Standard Liege await us…. We’ve never won that competition but we have lifted the Community Shield trophy a few times and back in 2004 and on this very day, we battered Manchester United 3-1 with Reyes, […]
Morning all. Remember this day in back 1999 when we beat Leicester 2-1 at Highbury? Of course you do, it was debut day for the one of the best players, if not the best player Arsene Wenger has ever signed for Arsenal….. If only he could hop back a few years in time and start all […]
Morning all. Gossip first, Well looks like Barca have made an offer for TV but the mancs are still linked, I’d way prefer he was sold abroad although it’s a shame he doesn’t seem to want to stay and fight for his place. The need for a central midfielder continues and we’re linked with the […]
Morning all. Yet again the William Carvalho rumours notched up a gear last night when a few headlines suggested the players agent has been spotted in London as a deal is hoped to be thrashed out and completed. Whether there is any substance to these headlines remains to be seen but if they are true […]
