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 [...]

Arsenal fans in ‘Justification Mode’ over Madueke – and that’s ok

Had a fair bit of work stuff and other bits going on yesterday, so didn't find the time to compose some thoughts in the wake of the rapidly evolving Madueke story, so shall we have a chat today about it? Firstly, I think it's difficult for me to row back from my original thoughts and [...]

Comparing Norgaard and Jorginho at Arsenal

It's Wednesday, it's the start of a bit of a heatwave here in the UK, it's sure to be an announcement day today with Christian Norgaard expected to be announced as the latest Arsenal acquisition. Why? Because as we all saw on the socials yesterday, somebody snapped him arriving and getting his video done as [...]

Norgaard will complete the upgrades – but what are we able to do on top of that?

I don't really understand why battle lines need to be drawn amongst the Arsenal fanbase online, I have to say, with regards to this Sesko/Gyokeres saga. I've seen people getting really quite pissy over the fact that Sesko will most probably not be 'the guy' and that he'll probably be plying his trade elsewhere either [...]

Zubi’s in, Gyok is next?

Well now, it's all kicking off in the Arsenal universe, eh? Yesterday we got the official confirmation of Martin Zubimendi's arrival from Real Sociedad, with the first pictures of him in next season's kit, then later in the day there was talk of the striker situation finally nearing a conclusion. Thankfully. Let's start with the [...]

Madueke at Arsenal is as underwhelming as you can get

Yesterday was a day at home doing lots of jobs and chores, so unusually for me, I got plenty of time to be scrolling through my social media feeds for the latest Arsenal-related transfer news. I picked a bad day to do it. That's because all the talk yesterday was on Arsenal reaching personal terms [...]

Could Zubimendi be great for Odegaard?

If you're inclined to believe some of the noises that were emerging yesterday from some of the more well-informed ITKs, then today is Zubi Day, with the club set to announce the Spaniard as their latest signing from Real Sociedad. It makes sense, really, after they made a fairly significant announcement on the women's side [...]

July means action MUST happen now for The Arsenal

I know, I know, kind of an obvious headline for today's return to blogging from me, as I get back into the swing of it from Portugal. I boldly made the assumption based on previous years that when I come back from Portugal there'd be a shiny new signing confirmed, but sadly my good luck [...]

Arteta the right man? The clear out, refresh, build, compete and ‘win’ model

By |2025-06-20T08:35:05+01:00June 20th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, History, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

I was asked an interesting question yesterday amidst a discussion yesterday about a project I might be involved in: Is Mikel Arteta the right man to take Arsenal to the title next season? It was one of those 'agree/disagree' things; you state your case thereafter, then debate with the fellow Arsenal fans that are in [...]
