Yesterday afternoon, news in France leaked that Arsenal had agreed a deal with French champions Montpellier for their 6ft 3in French international, Olivier Giroud. Not wholeheartedly believing this story as it is too similar to the one that broke a while back about Yann M’Vila, I had a little read around in the ‘blog world’. […]
Holland and Denmark are the latest sides to be knocked out of The Euros, so Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner are gone, home today I suspect. The good news for us is that both players, who have said they will sort their futures out after this competition, can now get on and do exactly […]
Rumours are gathering pace that newly appointed Swansea manager Michael Laudrup wants to sign fellow Dane, Nicklas Bendtner. That has to be good news for all concerned, Nik wants to stay in England but doesn’t want to stay with us and no doubt Swansea could do with a big strong centre forward to help them […]
No Giroud for Borussia Monchengladbach, they have had second thoughts about trying to sign him as they know they can’t compete with us when it comes to wages etc, so it seems it’s just us in the race to secure his services. Surely we can’t muck it up can we? Ok, he didn’t shine last […]
Ever since The Invincibles started to leave in dribs and drabs and were replaced with, what we perceive to have been very average players bar a few, Arsene Wenger has been on the end of quite a few critical, damning and sometimes quite vile comments. He’s been accused of being tight, lining his own pocket, […]
Not a lot of news to report today, other than the BBC have picked up on the Giroud story and suggest his signing will be announced soon, well let’s hope so but until we see something on afc.com, it’s just another rumour. Robin van Persie and is Dutch International team-mates are of the brink of […]
Don’t you just love him? He’s taken to this International Football like a fish to water. 😉 Despite all the rumours about Johan Djourou moving to Italy, he has denied this story and has committed his future to Arsenal. Not sure what to make of that one.. Onto todays post: Arsenal blogs all over the […]
So it seems the Giroud story could have ‘legs’ after Montpellier coach Rene Girard gave an interview to French radio station RMC. Girard said: Giroud loves England as well as Arsenal. We know Wenger wants him in his team. If they make an offer that’s probably where he’ll go. It’s likely that Giroud had to […]
You just have to love The Metro, yesterday the story was about Nasri and a possible return to us, which of course we all laughed and scoffed at, well today it’s about us trying to sign another Russian player. This one is pretty special and he’s already bagged two goals in the Euros for his […]
If it’s just a vast salary that Robin is after of course: He is vital to us and has been an extremely good captain, but if somebody comes along and offers Robin £250,000 a week then I am afraid we cannot compete with that. With players, you never know what they are going to do. […]
Johan Djourou’s agent has been touting his player around in the press, suggesting he could quite easily play in Italy or Spain next season. He’s also gone as far as to suggest that a few meetings with Serie A sides are lined up. Special Agent Flavio Ferraria told Radio Crc: Can Djourou join Napoli? It’s […]
Thankfully, not with us! Denilson has been talking about his future: There is the possibility of maybe signing a four or five-year contract. My lawyer talked to Arsenal and they asked to wait to see what happens in the Brazilian Cup before talking again. Anything could happen. Sao Paulo are doing their best to keep […]
