Arteta all but confirms ESR’s exit, but does it lead to some amortisation goodness?

Happy Friday folks. For me it's a Friday in which I am slightly worse for wear, on account of going to Wembley Stadium to see The Boss (not Mikel) bust out his tunes, so naturally I had a few beers whilst listening to Bruce Springsteen. I gotta tell you, felt a little weird being in [...]

As  somebody who didn't stay up until 3.30am this morning to watch the Arsenal versus Bournemouth friendly game that went on in the early hours of the morning (UK time), it's very difficult for me to make a proper assessment. I'll level with you; I haven't even seen the two goals scored in the 1-1 [...]

Calafiori might spell Kiwior’s exit, but Arsenal don’t have to be forced into being lowballed…

The sloth edges ever closer to his tree, the perfect spot for his resting place... That's what it feels like with this Calafiori deal, eh? Last night another couple of journalists dropping the "here we go!" soundbites, in an eagerness to be the 'first past the post' in declaring a transfer confirmed. At this stage [...]

Arsenal’s truncated transfer period

Just a few short days after the final and Gareth Southgate has decided to step down as England manager. And I always find the narrative in the media and on social media as quite interesting when this sort of stuff happens. Suddenly everyone is out saying what a fantastic job he did, how he did [...]

Smith Rowe could go, but do Arsenal need to watch the home grown situation?

By |2024-07-16T08:41:29+01:00July 16th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, pre season, Transfers|0 Comments

Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday, where the whirring of the transfer window appears to be up and running already, it seems. Last night it was Emile Smith Rowe's turn to be thrust into the spotlight, as Sky Sports ran with a story that Fulham and Palace are both interested in his signature. That's probably [...]

The ‘no mans land’ part of the football calendar

Ahh man, there really is bugger all on today from a football perspective, that's for sure, with the Euro's final not on until Sunday, The Arsenal not on for a few weeks on from that, plus the only real transfer news going on is stuff we've already been privy too, like Lokonga, Calafiore and Tavares. [...]

England surprise, but so do Arsenal, as Tavares deal looks a good one

Well, I have to say, I didn't expect that last night that's for sure. For year's I've been able to fall on my German family heritage as an excuse when it comes to having some skin in the game in the latter stages of international tournaments, but last night England completed their second back-to-back final [...]

The importance of pre-season prep work for The Arsenal

Morning folks, we all good? Well, as good as we can be given there's no football on at the moment and The Arsenal are still a solid six week's away until the proper stuff starts to kick in. I thought about going along to one of the friendlies we've got penned in for the beginning [...]

Merino’s added an extra few mil to his price tag

I watched both the quarter finals yesterday and with my feet firmly planted in the "I have German family" camp, I decided to get behind Der Mannschaft and cheer them on against Spain. My English blood has cursed my German family. They played decent enough, but as my cousin Dave said (he also taps in to [...]

Arsenal should lean in to the ‘sell on clause’ era

That was a bit more fun yesterday at the Euro's, eh? We had goals, we had drama, we had teams going for matches and not relying on own goals, penalties, boring sufferball; it was how the Euro's or any international tournament should be played. Not what we're all now used to if you're of a certain [...]
