Do you know what I love? A good ol' fashioned story about how shirt sales have paid for a transfer. Nothing beats it. It reminds me of the early 2ks when you hear stories like how Beckham's fee that Real Madrid paid to United was paid for overnight. It does make me chuckle. So when [...]
I'll get into the Arsenal men's teams' second win of pre season after a somewhat feisty encounter in Singapore against Newcastle yesterday lunchtime UK time, but before all of that, let's have a word or two to say about the fabulous England Lionesses, who retained the Euro trophy on penalties by defeating Spain in the [...]
Well, that happened quickly, with old Viktor Gyokeres, didn’t it? Were used to signings being dragged out. We normally expect there to be an element of wait and delay as Arsenal pick the right moment, usually do all the pictures and videos, then it takes a day or two, then BAM! We’re hit with the [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
