Mixed messages on three potential Arsenal exits. Bad news ahead of our trip to Cardiff.

Morning all.

Can you believe it, having gone three games without scoring a single goal, Sunday’s opposition finally found the back of the net last night in the League Cup. I was hoping their goal drought would last long past us going  there this weekend. But don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds as they still got thumped 3-1 by Championship club Norwich and subsequently knocked out of the first domestic cup of the season. Warnock made lots of changes to the team which has been playing in the League so clearly survival in the Premiership is top of his list of priorities. That always surprises me though as club fans love a good cup run, especially when the chances of winning anything else are slim to none.

We’re kind of in a similar situation really, this season anyway. The League title is beyond us right now, top four remains a possibility, although that’s looking unlikely unless our defending vastly improves so my guess is that Cups are our biggest hope of something silver come May. But even achieving one of those will require much better defending or a bloody miracle. None of even know yet how Unai Emery will approach the Cup competitions.

With the transfer window closed for English Priemier League club, it’s easy to forget that for European clubs, there’s a few days left yet to sign players from wherever they fancy. Aaron Ramsey could yet be sold which must be tempting considering this time next year he could be gone for nothing, Danny Welbeck and Reiss Nelson too.

There’s plenty of rumours flying around though that Aaron Ramsey has already agreed a new deal at Arsenal although there’s nothing official as yet. This all started on Twitter when the players agent Avid Sports and Entertainment Group posted: “Hoping for some big news today!” Of course that could have meant all sorts of things but 2+2=22!

In other gossip, Alexandre Lacazette is said to be looking for a way out, as were Odyssey in 1980 and they got to number six in the charts, spooky eh. This all stems from him not starting in the opening three matches which imo is poppycock. Firstly he’s already said how happy he is playing for Arsenal and secondly, there’s not a hope in hell of Arsenal sanctioning his sale when they can’t sign a replacement. More media spin and lies in attempt to upset the Arsenal applecart no doubt.

Finally it’s Reiss Nelson and there’s mixed reports on his future. Some say he’s agreed a new deal but will head off to Hoffenheim on loan for the season, others suggest he’s just heading out on loan without any new deal in place. Logic says it’s not the latter as otherwise the club would have sold him surely? If he has agreed a new deal I’d have thought he’d be better staying put and playing for the under 23’s and the first team in both Europe and the domestic cups.

Enjoy your day guys, a home draw tonight would be nice…
