Morning all. Early match day kick off for Arsenal today as they take on Everton at 12.30. An opportunity to get three points in the bag before watching the other clubs play catch-up. I think Newcastle and Man Utd will win their home games but Liverpool, I’m not so sure. Tomorrow, one or both of […]
Morning all. The agent of Arsenal’s new signing Jakub Kiwior, Pawel Zimonczyk has been talking about his client’s welcome to his new club: The thing that captured me was the openness of the people who work at Arsenal. You can see that they form one big family there. I think they welcomed Kuba in […]
Morning all. Jorginho has landed at Arsenal on an 18 month deal. He followed Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior through the door, not literally of course and whilst Arsenal handing Chelsea £12 million to take a player who was clearly deemed surplus to their requirements, doesn’t shout ‘ambition’ now he’s wearing the Arsenal colours, I […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta and Arsenal have spent the last couple of years moving older players. Aubameyang, Ozil, Kolasinac, Mustafi, Luiz, Lacazette etc. They’ve moved on players who couldn’t, or wouldn’t, buy into Mikel Arteta’s ideas so why on earth would signing Jorginho from Chelsea be in the club’s plans right now? Premier League experience, […]
Morning all. It’s happened again. Another off made to Brighton for Moises Caicedo by Arsenal, this one a reported £70 million, another rejection. Brighton want £80 million for their player according to reports so will Arsenal stump up the extra £10m, or will they walk away? Is Caicedo worth £80 million? No, never, not in […]
Morning all. Just before Arsenal kicked off against Man City, David Ornstein stole the headlines by announcing Gabriel Martinelli has agreed to stay at the club for another four and a half years. Excellent news and hopefully, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba will be next. I know a new signing or three are always exciting […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta, from Spain to Scotland to Everton and then Arsenal. A 31st August signing back in 2011. Midfielder, vice captain and finally captain before hanging up his boots and heading to Manchester City as assistant coach to Pep Guardiola. According to reports at the time, Mikel Arteta had three options upon retirement. Manage […]
Afternoon all. Speculation is rife about Mo Elneny suffering and injury which could see him miss the rest of the season. I hope that’s not the case because with his contract expiring in the summer, it could mean we’ll not see him play for the club again. There might be an element of truth to […]
Morning all. Arsenal’s new central defender/midfielder is in the door. I’s dotted, T’s crossed and photos etc taken. I wonder if he’ll make his debut on Friday night against Man City, even if it’s just for a few minutes when we’re 3-1 up with five minutes to go. Nice thought eh. Jakub Kiwior might be […]
Morning all. Back in 2016, or rather the 2015/16 season, the media, television pundits, even football fans didn’t really believe Leicester City could win the Premier League title. As each so called ‘big club’ turned up to face them, that was the day Claudio Ranieri‘s team would stutter or stumble but they didn’t. In fact […]
Morning all. Arsenal v Man Utd, a fixture which used to bring out the best and sometimes the worst of both sets of players. It’s probably wrong of me to confess but I loved watching it but I know, sometimes certain individuals went too far. These days, this fixture hasn’t been quite as feisty but […]
Morning all. Leandro Trossard became an Arsenal player yesterday and could make his debut against Man Utd tomorrow afternoon. The transfer fee in comparison to Mudryk is irrelevant in my opinion because his move is about one thing, what will he bring to this Arsenal team for the rest of the season and those ahead. […]
