Morning all, Didier Drogba robbed us again of a victory, after a shot/cross from Theo Walcott gave us a well deserved lead in the first half, the Chelsea old boy came off of the bench to deprive us of a trophy. Ignasi Miquel was adjudged to be the guilty man who “bundled” Drogba over and […]
Morning all, Well that was a funny old game yesterday and talk about ‘game of two halves’ – it was just that. Seven minutes in and Carl Jenkinson had a disaster. Not really sure what his intentions were. He appeared to get caught between the devil and the deep blue sea when ‘defensive header’ ended up […]
Morning all, Something makes me wonder whether Liverpool and Arsenal have thrashed out a price for Luis Suarez and all has, in principle, been agreed. Why? Well, Liverpool seem to be on the verge of signing £20m Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa, who is by all accounts, worse than Suarez for his on-field antics. Surely […]
Morning all, I am sure that fans will be blown away by the news that Atletico Nacional’s Sebastián Pérez begins his trail with us on Monday. The defensive/box to box midfielder, who is 20 years old would cost around £5 million and should his trial be a success, we are expected to meet that valuation. Ok, […]
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. I think I should be above such requests. It is high time some of these clubs started respecting Nigeria. […]
Morning all, What a success this tour has been even from the fans point of view. I am not going to try to second guess what the contents of Ivan appraisal is going to be when Silent Stan finally remembers that being a majority share owner for a major sporting franchise is more than just […]
Morning all, This one relates to the outgoing Gervinho. According to reports, Walter Sabatini of Roma has been in London and an agreement is very close for Gervinho. 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 […]
