Arsene Wenger has spoken about the 21 year old: I’m happy that he came here. He was educated by us and we saw that he had top quality and technically he […]
Morning all. Back in 2001, on this very day, Sol Campbell made his debut for Arsenal having made the switch across North London for free. Goals from Henry, Pires & Bergkamp (2) gave Arsenal a 4-0 win at Middlesbrough. To nab Big Sol that summer was possibly one of the best, if not the best […]

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? […]
