We’ve now seen the squad thats been named for the tour to Singapore and there are a few names missing that will raise an eyebrow…!
I would of thought after a long loan spell that Wellington Silva finally joining the side would of mean’t Arsene would want a good long look at him but seems he not is the squad to travel. Maybe he has been lined up for a loan spell in England. Isaac Hayden is another missing from the squad again maybe he is lined up for a season long loan but otherwise it would seem that Arsene doesnt see him as part of the 1st team squad.
We normally say the pre-season tour gives us an idea of the youngsters that Arsene rates and Dan Crowley, Jeff Adelaide and Chris Willock will all hope to shine along with Chuba Akpom who I think has a big opportunity to throw down a marker especially with Danny Welbeck still recovering from a knock.
It will be interesting to see the younger players alongside the regualrs and to see who impresses or who fails to show the necessary skill to step up when needed. It’s not just about the ability its about being able to show the talent on the bigger stage and to be able to make a mark when playing against seasoned pro’s and experienced players. Attitude and mental strength are a prerequisite and am sure Arsene will be looking at how the young players conduct themselves as he does love a bit of mental strength……
A lot of social media hot air yesterday with several sources saying Arsenal are close to a huge signing, not sure if thats giant haystacks huge or a world class player but as yet nothing has happened so I’ll hang tight until we announce the signing of Messi.
Enjoy your day.
Wellington! Boot! I like what youve done there 🙂
Slow news days lately… bring on the football and signings!
How sad to see Wellington Silva not getting a chance. Give the lad his opportunity. What is happening to Wenger? He’s leaving it late again. He’s with the team in Asia so he cannot personally oversee any transfers. This dithering and lack of certainty makes me feel that we will NOT be putting up a league challenge. I really hope I will be proved wrong, but I worry that the Special One is right when he calls Wenger a “success at failure”. Without some quality coming into the team there is no way we can challenge for the Premier or Champions Leagues.
LOL
Hi Roger, yep slow old day yet again on the footie front…. The gossip columns are yet again filled with drivel and make believe and yet again we are buying Higuain…. Then tomorrow Benzema will be flavour of the day again…. Wonder when it will be Darren Bent…..
Hope nobody gives you the boot Mark…. 🙂
Sean, Bit early yet to say we dithering, plenty time yet and most players only just returning to training. Think you’ll find Arsene don’t need to be around to complete a signing thats Gazidis department. I do wonder what he has planned for Silva though, maybe he being left at home for extra training or just to let him settle properly but hope the lad does at least get a chance to show us if he any good.
Oh boy wath’s done it again 😀 brilliant post Mon fre. You ve outside yourself this time around. Take a bow son 😀 NOT 😀
Good title Wath! We need some news, hard going at moment!
I rate sanogo wath 😀 does that make me a giant prick or thunder cnut 😀
Stupid phone outdone not outside. Grrrr
I’d say Sanogo is good for feeding the giraffe’s Stan….
It’s a bit dead Andrew thats for sure…..
Wath 😀
Morning, good luck to the lads on the Singapore tour, I personally hope Zelalam steps up this season, he has not had much first team chances, let,s hope that changes. I suppose a lot of the talk on the Arsenal,s blog sites today will be about who this mystery “signing of the season could be” Muzzi Ozcan has certainly got fans excited, but lets not get too carried away.
All this twitter stuff form all these so called ITK experts makes me laugh… It’s who can reel in the biggest fish I reckon….
As Kev would say… Bender………
The Boot I like it!!
Is the other new French kid in the squad?
Gud post Wath!
Adelaide is the new French kid Silky, he is in the squad, the other younger french kid, Fortune isn’t..!
Bender
You make a good point Stan…
Watch often has a tendency to be a little outside himself…. lol
Watch….! 🙂
Wath of course…
The new crop of youngster are not as ‘electrifying’ as the previous bunch.
Wellie had a very decent season in La liga last season. He now has an EU passport… maybe time to cash in AW maybe thinking…
Hey Red-neck goonie leave Wath alone… he is doing his best. It takes a lot for a man half comatosed with GG to write such a post. 🙂
Hey Wath, that’s actually a very good point, re: Welbeck.
He’s had a knee problem for awhile now, so as with Bellerin and Coquelin progressing due to injuries, Akpom might benefit also?
I like Welbeck Kev but I also think Akpom gonna be mustard…! Time will tell mate.
As for yoy Ts you’re getting as bloody cheeky as Stan, You not joined the red-neck club have you..? 🙂
More like 10 years a slave… 🙂
Bale
Good Afternoon Lovelies and hunkies.
In a NN desert full of sand and scorching sun your post is like an oasis Wath.
Hargreaves 😀
I’m surprised not to see Bielik, the Polish kid we signed last season. I wonder where he is?
Gervinho.
Drogba
I’m a slave…
A slave to HMRC
Yeah, I’m with you Wath on Welbeck and Akpom…
It’ll be interesting to see how Crowley develops, Wilshere seems to have taken him under his wing… Could be an interesting tour for the lad…
Kunta Kinte
Goon le fat
Joe Le Taxi.
Mic ko
Kev what I love most about that Crowley lad is his set pieces. What a player. He actually hits the target everytime he takes one. That kid is going to be our first 100 million player 😀 fuck off barcnutulonia 😀
Hey where’s scott? Since rico disappeared he’s be missing too. Am beginning to think rico and Scott is the same person 😀
Call me crazy but am into something there. Either rico and Scott are shacking up currently or they are just one person 😀
*unto*
And especially for wath…….Martin Ruane !
Alright Stan, how’s your hammer hanging.
Micko 😀
You know am right don’t ya micko. There’s something fishy going on around here 😀
Just for Micko….. Hoo flung dung
Stan, Rico is going to cut off your didgery doo….
Stan, nothing fishy here, you might wanna pull your flies up mate !
Goonie has a didgery doo????
Did not think it was that small.
LMAO
Yep Bielik is another one Michael…
Mick, I just fell off the chair laughing…
Listening to Wenger talking about Adelaide, the player, not the town in Oz, you get the idea that he might have snapped up another little gem from Belle La France…
Stan, Rico is gonna string you up by the gonads…
Coach/Wath, er, lata… 🙂
The difference between a gentleman (LP09) and people like Judas/adewhore/nasri
Lukas Podolski has predicted that Arsenal will be in contention to challenge for the Premier League title, as he penned a letter to Gunners fans after completing a move to Galatasaray.
“Over the last three years I’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing people at Arsenal, I want to thank everyone from all the staff behind the scenes to the manager and my teammates, who have all helped make London a second home to me,” he wrote on a letter published on Twitter.
“To the fans… the best fans in England, who have supported myself and the team no matter what, you will forever hold a special place in my heart and I will forever be a Gunner!
“I am confident that next season the team will be challenging for that league title and I will be watching on as a fan! COYG
Podolski and Ospina were my favourites long before they joined AFC. Kev can testify to that.
yes they had to make way for better and more established players however the time they spent at AFC confirmed that besides being good players they are also gentlemen.
yes Podolski will watch us as a fan…..however I will still continue watching him…..something which I have been doing since he broke into the German national team.
Well Poldi and You Guys are both of to Turkey after 3 years. I am sad to see one go the other pri*k could star in the remake of mid-night express for all I care.
Good read…..

Stan, Rico says hi 🙂
Morning boys and girls.
Dev just spent a long evening on 7am kickoff debating 🙂 with deluded spurs fans thanks I enjoyed myself.
I see that Steven Gerrard has been busy commenting on the Raheem Stirling transfer/furore…
Gerrard and hypocrisy seem the perfect combination..
The same with all the Scouse Mafiosi in the media…
Yeah, it’s perfectly ok for Liverpool to tap up other clubs’ players, but it’s totally unethical when they’re on the receiving end…
I really hope that the Stirling affair tears them apart…
Bonjour Kev le cabbie.
how are you mate???
I have a sneaky feeling that AW will get Sterling in the end. That will mean another young Englishman who he can mould. He is just playing the waiting game. what do you think??
Morning Wath and all.
I see Gerrard has given an interview reinforcing his working class routes and ranting on about the great people of Liverpool and how “down to earth” they are. His mantra is of a man of the people who has never lost contact with his council house mates etc, etc.
He gave the interview from the swimming pool of his $18 million mansion. The one next to Kev’s. 🙂
Roots not bloody routes.
Afternoon Coach, I’m very good thanks habib…
It’s a warm one in London today…
All I wanna know, is has it stopped raining on Mick?
New post is up, well it’s sort of a post. I’m off out and will be away tomorrow so there may not be a post 2moro until very late, maybe it will bring us luck and a signing or something at least worthy of writing something.
Adam, Gerrard is full of shit, it would be interesting to discover how many transfer requests he made whilst at Anfield?
I understand that he asked for a transfer on a multiple of occasions.
Not least when Mourinho had his tongue up Stevie Gees anus..,,
