Morning all.

Fifty one years ago today, Bob Wilson left Wolverhampton Wanderers and signed for Arsenal.

He was pretty good wasn’t he?

51 years ago today....

51 years ago today….

Everyone is buzzing! Well, so says Theo Walcott:

Sanchez is a world-class player and I enjoyed watching him play for Barcelona and for Chile at the World Cup.

He’s still very young as well and he is going to show so much pace and power, which we lacked a bit last year. With me and him on the flanks, a lot of teams won’t be looking forward to playing Arsenal this year!

There’s a great buzz around the club at the moment. He is a marquee signing and something that the club has pushed on to: first you hadΒ Mesut OzilΒ and now it isΒ Alexis Sanchez. Who knows where it is going to stop?

It is great to learn from these players, and I cannot wait to play alongside him. I am really looking forward to it.

Give or take a few months, both players are the same age but imo, Alexis Sanchez is a long long way ahead of Theo in all departments of the game, well maybe not pace but even that’s questionable.

We talked about how Jack Wilshere needs to step up his game yesterday, well it’s time Theo Walcott did the same. He’s the perfect professional off the pitch but on it, he’s not consistent enough. We see flashes of brilliance and on his day he really can’t cause defenders all sorts of problems but we need to see a lot more of that and much much less of the Theo who drives us mad!

If he can finally start delivering week in week out, he’s right, him andΒ Sanchez in the same side is a mouth watering prospect.

Just hope Giroud can keep up… πŸ˜‰

Friends... La la la la....

Friends… La la la la….

But as we keep on saying, Sanchez alone isn’t enough, we need more depth and certainly more strength throughout the entire squad and the rumours surrounding Sami Khedira just won’t go away.

Marca report that Real Madrid have accepted and offer from us for the player and all that needs thrashing out is the players wages.

These are friends too....

These two are friends too….

The fact that photographers have snapped Sami with all the Arsenal players whilst they celebrated their World Cup victory has of course help fuel the fire surrounding this story, as has Lukas Podolski’s antics during an interview yesterday but I’m still hoping this deal can be done.

Just like with Alexis Sanchez, the newspapers report that the poison dwarf wants to sign Sami Khedira and no doubt Chelsea would meet his reported wage demands but hopefully, and just like with Sanchez, there’s only one club he wants to sign for and that’s us.

Couldn't leave out the big guy....

Couldn’t leave out the big guy….

As Theo said, top quality players give the squad a lift, they give the fans a lift and if Sami Khedira wants to sign for Arsenal, I’ll give him a lift. From the airport to London Colney…..

Well, maybe I’d ask Kev, he’s nearer…….

Have a great day all……
