Big Vik’s Big Reveal
So we’re on the move with Big Vik it seems, as yesterday both Ornstein and Romano confirmed that the deal was fully agreed and the player could travel to London for his medical. That will likely happen today, then I suspect - all being well - he’ll do his pictures and other video work, interviews, [...]
Berta’s boy Mosquera arrives, whilst Dec gets us pumped
We finally got the announcement on Christian Mosquera yesterday and as usual it was accompanied by a pretty swish intro video that had all the hallmarks of the Arsenal social media team. Nicely put together, he said the right things and by all accounts this looks and feels like a very good an sensible signing. [...]
Good Milan knockabout kicks off Arsenal’s pre season
Arsenal kicked off their pre season yesterday with a 1-0 win over Milan and sure as eggs is eggs, it was Bukayo Saka who was the difference maker. Annoyingly I wasn't able to watch the game in full because I was at work, but even if I'd have been off, there's zero chance I'm paying [...]
Hale End girls save England as Gyokeres jets off to Asia
Morning folks - there's no better place to start today than that dramatic late winner for The England Women's team who last night progressed to the final. I find it lovely and heartwarming that these ladies have (once again) captivated the nation through their grit, determination and never-say-die approach to this tournament. That's two rounds [...]
Kits and proper friendlies with non-English teams
As we edge ever closer towards Gyokeres' move to Arsenal, with Sporting and Arsenal now reportedly 'close' on all elements and structure of the deal according to that guy Fabrizio, Arsenal out in Singapore spent yesterday giving us chapter and verse over the new away kit. It's fine. It's better than that fluorescent yellow and [...]
Arteta is pumped over new signings
It's a new week, the lads are in Singapore, Mikel Arteta has had a press conference and by all accounts, he seemed in good spirits. He talked about a whole manner of things - not Gyokeres by name though - and given what he said and the way he said it, it's clear that we [...]
Noni with a point to prove; everyone wants Vik saga done
Been a little too busy with work and family stuff over the last 48 hours, so haven't had much time to compose some morning thoughts post the Madueke signing, but it's done, we've picked up the player and I think now that it's all in black and white - or should I say red and white [...]
Don’t worry about Eze
If you believe everything you read on line, you'd be forgiven for getting a little antsy that the supposed new interest in Eze from Chelsea could scupper any potential deal that The Arsenal do. Personally, I'm not minded to put too much credence in to it at this stage, because Eze would be batshit mental [...]
The calm before the transfer storm?
So here we are folks, on a countdown to that mythical 'line in the sand that Mikel Arteta has supposedly drawn to everyone at The Arsenal, with regards to getting his players in, so he can have them all on tour and getting a full pre season into those new arrivals. We've all heard that [...]
Arsenal making moves this week
Well it's the start of a new week and we have ourselves quite a busy one it sounds like, because last night we got the Ornbomb that Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon have settled on a package that works for both parties and Viktor Gyokeres will be allowed to get himself over to The Arsenal for [...]
