Well it seems - if ol' Romano is to be believed, that the Raya deal edges closer. I will still maintain that I'm not sure it is the move for us; he's a good 'keeper but no better than Ramsdale in my opinion, Brentford want too much money for a guy with one year left [...]

Arteta isn’t done on transfers?

So the lads are in the US prepping for the MLS all stars game and as a result of that Arteta has been speaking ahead of the tour to the press. It's been covered fairly extensively and you can read word-for-word what he's said here, so I thought I'd pluck out a few of the [...]

The tour begins, but where is Partey?

Morning folks, how we all doing on this fine looking Monday, eh? I decided to go for a little bit of ribeye steak last night with homemade triple cooked chips and, as a result, drank a little too much Napa Valley red before going to bed and having to get up early this morning for [...]

Timber’s in, Rice too (sort of?)

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 [...]

Saliba sorted, Dwight Yorke’s random ‘takes’ and chuckling at Chelsea’s attempt for Balogun

Don't mix your alcohol, kids. It will end badly for you. Spoken from a man with plenty of experience and exposure to this scenario. And I'm supposed to be going to a Bruce Springsteen concert later in Hyde Park. Bleugh. Still, on the up side, Arsenal confirmed the contract extension of Big Bill Saliba and [...]

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 [...]

Returning faces to London Colney, with an Ornbomb suggesting one more incoming

The Ornbomb has landed and Romano has regaled us, so it seems this saga will soon reach it's conclusion. But at this point I'm not really sure what else there is to say, other than I'm glad it's happening and hopefully we are going to be able to swiftly move on so we can focus [...]

After Rice and Timber, Arsenal aren’t dropping another big deal. Are they?

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

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. [...]

Rice and a waffle

Here we ago again folks. Yet more Rice talk, as Ornstein confirmed last night we’ve bid £100million plus £5million in add ons for Declan Rice and whilst the talk this morning is that West Ham still aren’t happy, I’m starting to get pretty bored of talking about this, to be honest. So I think today [...]
