Neves, White, Lokonga, ESR and Aouar – can it all be done?
Lots of ‘maybes’ going on right now. But do Arsenal have the money to get all the recent speculation on players done?

Yesterday morning I think it was, when I read that Saliba had withdrawn from the French Olympic team, which I thought meant he could come back to Arsenal and get a good pre season and then who knows, probably get the chance to impress and maybe even play some football for us so Arteta could [...]
Happy Thursday folks! Hope you are doing well? Bit weird with no football on for two consecutive days, isn't it? I had to make do with Wimbledon last night and Andy Murray scraping through against a guy who had basically never played tournament tennis, or something like that. He was decent though and made Murray [...]
The Euro’s got back underway last night and I watched Wales get smashed up by an impressive Danish team and thought “Wales aren’t that good really, are they?” I don’t know whether it’s because they are one of the home nations, or because they’ve got the likes of Bale and Ramsey in their side, but [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Friday! Yesterday was the first day in which we didn't get any football and tonight it is the same, as the round of 16 games don't start until tomorrow and I have to say, I always find it a little sad. In some ways the group stages are the best [...]

Perhaps I should thank Gareth Southgate and the England team. I was starting to enjoy the Euro’s and international football in general, so good on him and his players to remind me just how turgid it is in general. Last night was the first proper snooze fest of the competition and it reminded me of [...]
Welp, the fixtures are out and the football karma gods clearly had a look at my plea for us to get a relatively serene start in terms of calibre of opposition, then kick that hope right in the nuts. That's because from 14th August until the beginning of October we have six football matches and [...]
Morning folks. Right, plenty to sink our teeth in to today, so let's get straight to it and start with... France vs Germany / Portugal vs Hungary My second country, country of my Grandmother and usually a shoe in for some proper hope in international tournaments - Germany - showed why there aren't too many [...]
After the trauma of Saturday evening and what happened to Christian Eriksen, yesterday was back to football and dare I say it, it was actually a lot of fun to watch the matches I watched. I sat down just after lunch in my back garden and watched an England team that, for a change, didn't [...]
