Lavia links make a lotta sense

This might be a short one today, on account of the fact that there really is bugger all happening in the world of Arsenal right now. Well, I’m sure that’s not strictly true, because I’m sure Edu, Richard Garlick and the other back office staff who deal with contracts and transfers are doing something, but [...]

Arsenal won’t Mbappe, will they?

There are some very wishful thinkers in the Arsenal fanbase, that's for sure, because if anybody thinks that we're truly going even get a sniff - let alone drop a cursory star - at Kylian Mbappe this summer after the news emerged that he will not activate his additional year clause and that PSG are [...]

Sullivan shows his hand in Rice saga – but does that help or hinder Arsenal?

Morning Gooners, how we all doing? I haven't been sleeping well. Combination of stuff at work, some drinking, but also thinking about The Arsenal. On that last point I'm sure you can empathise. We're back on the Declan Rice trail today and yesterday I hadn't seen the quotes from David Sullivan in the morning, but [...]

Smith Rowe is a no-go

When David Ornstein dropped his latest Ornbomb (see below) about how Arsenal had no intention of selling Emile Smith Rowe this summer, there were a fair few members of the online community that I follow who expressed a wee bit of surprise. Positive surprise, but surprise nonetheless. He's a popular player, he's one of our [...]

Osimhen to Arsenal won’t happen

Morning folks and welcome to the last Friday of the season. My plan for this weekend is to try not to labour myself too much in thinking about 'what could have been', but Mikel Arteta will take to the press room at London Colney for the last time this season and he'll no doubt have [...]

Xhaka’s exit might be the right timing for all parties, but we will 100% miss him

By |2023-05-17T08:35:31+01:00May 17th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, History, midfield, Mikel Arteta, Transfers|0 Comments

If most Arsenal fans would have read that Leverkusen were buying Granit Xhaka for £13million in the summer of last year, I think a big chunk of Arsenal fans would have been absolutely fine with it. For me he's always been a talented player that I think has improved steadily under Arteta, so I'm not [...]

Sweating on Gabriel, but not on Arsenal’s summer transfer kitty

Mercifully, instead of putting myself through the inevitable torture of expecting a depleted West Ham side to show anything like the level of fight back and drive they showed against us just a few short weeks ago, I didn't watch anything of the City game last night and just saw that at the end they [...]

The Balogun / Nketiah debate – can we have both?

Morning folks and welcome to Wednesday. Having to go old school on the blog today, because the desktop version of the site seems to have gone down, so until that is up and running, I’m penning some thoughts from the iPhone, so please excuse the inevitable typos and predictive text change words in to other [...]

KT’s future might be elsewhere long term, but Arsenal need to make sure the deal is right

By |2023-03-08T07:36:21+00:00March 8th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Transfers|1 Comment

Am hanging a wee bit this morn folks, so go easy on me, if you please... The good news is that there's not really a lot going on. Which means I can't butcher an opinion on a breaking story in my  current sorry state. I've seen a few murmurs about KT being a target for [...]
