Morning all. What is a so called ‘big named’ player? Well in my opinion, that’s measured by whichever club is signing the player. For example, Qpr signed Loic Remy last season, which I would say was a big name for them but if we signed him, fans wouldn’t be happy. He’s been touting for a […]
Morning all, So the latest is that we are setting our sights on Barcelona attacker Alexis Sanchez as a back-up plan for the Liverpool striker. Well that’s according to Sports Direct News. The Catalan club paid around £30m to sign Sanchez back in July 2011 and it’s expected that they would demand a similar fee if […]
Morning all, According to a few of the newspapers, we are set to make a 3rd offer for Luis Suarez. The Daily Mirror however, report that there will be no third bid, in fact they suggest that Arsene Wenger truly believes that the last bid of £40 million and £1.00 was enough to activate a […]
Morning all, Terry Butcher reckons that Luis Suarez would simply NOT fit in at Arsenal! Why? Because he’s ‘volatile, a potential bomb-scare on the pitch, he’s moody and confrontational’…. Ahhhh, all the things we have lacked over the years. In laymens terms, it’s called passion and a will to win. Thierry Henry was moody and he […]
Morning Gooners, Newspaper talk today: ARSENAL target Godfrey Oboabona has blasted Arsene Wenger for showing him a lack of respect: Arsenal’s management tell me to come for a trial when I won the African Nations Cup.

After a couple of offers for our winger/striker had been turned down, it appears that some kind of deal has been sorted out which includes Gervinho going on […]
Morning all, So who will break first? Who will bottle this Suarez scenario? It is two-fold really. A player may want to go, but then somebody has to pay the value or worth of that player. Says Brendan Rodgers who believes his player is worth at least £50 million and with us currently bidding £1 over […]
Morning all, Well this is a huge statement made by John Cross, the man following Arsenal whilst on tour in the Far East: Gedion Zelalem looks the one to watch. Whisper it quietly, but the word is he’s every bit as good as – if not better than – Cesc Fabregas at the same age. […]
Morning all, Szczesny: You try not to think of the sagas — Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri. But it’s always in your mind you’ll lose another top player. This time, everyone is talking about who Arsenal are bringing in. That makes us feel stronger. The Poland No 1 was dropped for a […]
