Yesterday we finally  heard from Aubameyang after his move to Barcelona was signed, sealed and delivered to the people of Catalonia, with the striker opening up about his exit. As you'd expect it was all his variation of the events that unfolded, but he didn't tell us too much in terms of what went down, [...]

It’s not a war chest Arsenal have, it’s a replenishment jar

This morning I stumbled downstairs in my usual half awake state, opened the fridge, got out my berry smoothie I have for breakfast, then flicked open my social media and news feeds on my phones to see what is happening in the world. Do you now what the first piece of speculation was that I [...]

Here we are then. Transfer Deadline Day. One of the most hyperbolic days in the footballing calendar and a day that TV companies like Sky utterly adore because it puts eyeballs on their products and clicks in their advertising reports. For the rest of us junkies it is a hit of morphine at a time [...]

Is Isak’s release clause the ‘break glass in case of emergency’ for Arsenal?

Ahh man I am hanging this morning. Even the sound of the clicking keyboard feels like a drum beat on my skull. I went out for a leaving drinks for someone in my team and so didn't really check Twitter or my phone for most of the evening, until I got on the tube and [...]

So it appears the latest direction of 'Arsenal irritation' travel appears to be aimed towards France and, specifically, Lyon, who last night supposedly accepted a €40million bid for Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, with the player supposedly seeing it as an offer 'too good to turn down'. Cue the outrage from many Arsenal fans that we [...]

Vlahovic case is curious, as Arsenal rightly explore elsewhere

Well it appears we have the answer behind the noises on the Vlahovic transfer. Those noises appear to be coming from Turin and as seems to have been reported by a number of different journos last night, the Fiorentina player has been bid for by Juventus and it is likely that will be his destination [...]

Yesterday I wrote about the Newcastle takeover as it was about to happen and then later on in the day we saw the confirmation that one of the richest 'consortiums' in the world had bought Newcastle. So here we go again. Another sports washing exercise (it entirely IS that despite what Amanda Staveley said in [...]

The football we knew will soon be gone

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the pickings remain 'slim' when it comes to talking about any new stuff related to Arsenal. It remains quiet and whilst from a morning blog point of view that is somewhat problematic when you're looking for inspiration to talk about, as soon as I send off today's daily musings [...]

How can Arsenal compete with the financially doped?

Morning folks and welcome to another working week. I can smile knowing that there are Tottenham fans that were crowing just a month ago that are sad this morning, but behind that smile is the very real worry that they'll actually bother showing up against us next Sunday, as opposed to what went on yesterday [...]
