Well we finally have that closure on transfers that we wanted, with the confirmation yesterday of Jurrien Timber from Ajax announced by the club, then this morning as I have been sat at my desk typing away, West Ham have weirdly confirmed that Declan Rice is leaving West Ham - without actually mentioning Arsenal at [...]

No more “one or two players short” Arsenal

Still nothing on the ol' signings front, but given we're at 13th July and today is our first pre season friendly game (proper one, the one at London Colney with Watford doesn't really count) I'm not going to get bent out of shape. The reality is we're just awaiting the formalities and then all will [...]

It's all got a little slow now in terms of goings on at The Arsenal, eh? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, of course, but speaking as somebody who wakes up in the morning and thinks "I wonder what stuff has been happening, or will happen in the next 24 hours, should occupy my thoughts [...]

Hey kids, how we all doing then, eh? Getting impatient about the lack of Timber and Rice announcements? Yeah, I am kinda too, but there's so much leaking out at the moment that the club are sure to do something today I reckon. We had Jurrien Timber's brother posting a picture of the player in [...]

Morning peeps, hope we’re all good, feeling dandy and looking forward to an enjoyable Sunday? Emile Smith Rowe will be a happy chap oh waking up this morning, won’t he? He and his England under-21 teammates won the under-21 Euros last night and in it he secured himself a lovely ol’ bit of silverware that [...]

Why are (some) West Ham fans so angry at Arsenal?

This morning I logged in to my Twitter as usual and for the third day in a row I saw a debate that had been retweeted by an Arsenal fan, between West Ham fans, about the whole Declan Rice situation. And I have to tell you, it confused the heck out of me. The debate [...]

Morning folks and happy Tuesday to you and yours. Back in to the swing now and after listening to the always excellent Arsenal Opinion podcast featuring Johnny and Pete on my morning run this morning, I was listening to some of their comments about some of the potential incomings that are being touted IN ADDITION [...]

There is no more transfer ‘mystique’ any more

By |2023-07-03T10:47:02+01:00July 3rd, 2023|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, History, Mikel Arteta, pre season, Transfers|0 Comments

Happy Monday folks. Well, as happy as it can be after you've just had a wonderful week off in the sun boozing, eating nice food and generally sleeping in late. This 'returning back to work and having to get up early to tap at your computer' thing is, ideally, not something I'd like to do. [...]

Well it was always going to happen, wasn't it? Last night Man City laid their cards on the table with an official bid for Declan Rice, following a weekend in which we'd been told they intended to, but they hadn't yet. We've also had a weekend of hearing that the players' preference was The Arsenal. [...]

Morning folks. We all good? Mikel Arteta has been chatting to Marca and in the interview as you'd expect, he didn't give too much away in terms of potential signings, but with the Havertz stuff he did give the clearest indication you're going to get with a player as he admitted that 'talent has a [...]
