I think even before the news broke of the Al Hilal deal for Gabriel Martinelli, we all knew it was going to happen. He hadn't been in the squad for the Community Shield, he'd looked a bit sheepish and reluctant to take part in the dancing and frivolity that day. He hadn't made any squads, [...]
The good thing about us playing on Monday night was that it means we've got less time to wait until the weekend, and easily the biggest of the three games so far this season against Chelsea. Because of that, I'm hopeful that the thnkpieces from journos (and to be fair, bloggers like me) about how [...]
So Transfer Deadline Day came and went and we found ourselves with no incomings, and just the confirmations that both Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Jesus had left the club for Hamburg and Barcelona, respectively. Of course, there's no news on Martinelli yet, but that's because the Saudi Pro League deadline day doesn't finish until 6th September, [...]
This is shaping up to be a fun weekend, all things considered, eh? We kicked off with a lovely, comfortable, impressive 3-0 win at home to Coventry on Friday, then yesterday were treated to Man United losing the early game of the day to Hull. Lovely stuff. I hope this doesn't come back to bite [...]
Ahead of the Premier League kicking off for us on Friday, yesterday was clearly media day at London Colney, because we've had Men in Blazers doing an interview with Arteta, Sky Sports sat down with him, plus Dan Roan from the BBC also talked to Richard Garlick. All of the interviews are worth a watch; [...]
Looks like Bruno G is on his way. The last horses are crossing the finish line - Newcastle-based journos - and they're now starting to report that he's met new manager Matthias Jaissle, and told him that he wants to make this move, which means it'll be sanctioned for around the £75million mark. So for [...]
Happy Monday Gooners, and welcome to a new week, in which we are all hoping for some Bruno G news no doubt. But I sawe something yesterday suggesting that there was another Brazilian (not that one!) that we were interested in Joao Pedro from Chelsea. Makes sense; Arsenal have an unhealthy obsession with getting that [...]
It's a little weird to start off today's blog with a story about another club, but with the news breaking as I've started to type about Eddie Howe leaving Newcastle, it's hard not to put two and two together. Sky Sports are talking about this at the moment in the background as I'm typing and [...]
Yeah, I'd like us to have some news about a signing at The Arsenal, but it could be worse, right? We could be trying a pre covid 'get the band back together' veterans tour like Chelsea are doing, eh? All jokes aside, whilst I have no problem with them bringing in elder statesmen like Henderson, [...]
So, after a summer in which Liverpool thought they were signing Diomande, then PSG, Real Madrid are the one's pulling the trigger, which will be an 'all-in' fee of around £100million when the bonuses are factored in (€120million). As I mentioned yesterday, that means Madrid now have: Mbappe Vinicius Junior Rodrygo Endrick Diomande Brahim Dias [...]
