White done. Lautaro next?
There's only one place to start this morning, which is with the official signing of Ben White confirmed by the club. He'll wear the number four shirt and when speaking to the Arsenal fan that interviewed him yesterday, I think he came across really well and he's clearly very happy to be here. It is [...]

Watford take a look at Eddie as Azeez looks tasty
Well, don't we have a lot of things to chew over on this Thursday morn, eh? For starters there was a game yesterday. Bit last minute, but Arsenal arranged another friendly at London Colney in which Watford came to visit from over the fence. Almost literally, given their training ground is next to ours and [...]

Arteta’s reliance on those already here – a dangerous game?
I decided to go for an early run this morning and as usual, put on my headphones and had a listen to an Arsenal podcast or two. There was one topic which I did find interesting during the run, which was from the lads on the Arsenal Vision podcast, in which they touched on the [...]

Arsenal need to sort out their first team quota pronto
I do have to chuckle at Man United fans you know. I start off today's Arsenal musings with a smile in relation to the Manc's, because there are a fair few of them crowing that they are buying Varane for £34million plus some add ons, as well as Sancho for £73million, then comparing that to [...]

Arsenal’s shape and fitness is starting to show
I know pre season friendlies aren't supposed to mean anything, that you can't read too much in to them and that had we lost yesterday's 'behind closed doors' friendly at London Colney to Milwall then we'd all have shrugged and said 'move along', but I have to tell you I did enjoy watching the game [...]

Abraham the shiny new thing, but we already have other shinies….
Morning folks. Happy Saturday. Hope yours is set up to be a good one. I'm off in to London for a birthday party in a pub this evening. Mask wearing on the tube aside, it all feels very normal and that's great. I also went in to London last night. The Management bought me a [...]

Feeling for the American Gooners, but how does this impact Arsenal’s prep?
Stepping in to a nice, ice cold shower, with the weather in blighty like it is right now, is some kind of heaven. Don't get me wrong though, I'm loving the warm weather, because we get so little of it in this country. So you won't get me moaning that it is too hot. Nosiree. [...]

Arteta being backed with White and Lokonga’s arrivals at The Arsenal?
So it looks like the wheels are finally turning when it comes to Arsenal's transfer business. Yesterday evening, as the weekend beckoned, we got the social media call from The Ornacle that Arsenal had agreed a deal to sign Ben White from Brighton for roughly around £50million or thereabouts. It's a heck of a lot [...]

Saliba, Lokonga and Smith Rowe’s number
My whole thing about how we become so aware of transfers that by the time they actually happen, the joy of the signing isn't as joyous as the 'old days', also works for players leaving too. I've bleated on so much about Saliba lately that when it was confirmed by Arsenal and then on Marseille's [...]
