So here we are folks. This has to be one of the WORST days of the footballing calendar: January Transfer Deadline Day. Honestly, it is like how the big retailers love Valentines Day because it fills the void between Christmas and Easter and means that they get to eek out a little more from the [...]

Arsenal need to pivot quickly after latest Caicedo rebuff

Welcome to Transfer Deadline Day week folks. Strap yourselves in, because the next 40ish hours or so are going to be rather trying, as usual, I suspect. I said I wasn't going to get too connected to the Moises Caicedo stuff, but after flying back from Newcastle last night hand having a solid hour and [...]

Transfer deadline day for Arsenal: You can be happy and concerned at the same time

It came, it went, without a major incoming and now we know what we have for the next - roughly - three months until the transfer window re-opens on 1st January. I say 'roughly because we've got the whole of September, the whole of October, then the first 12 days of November and then the [...]

Don’t sweat transfer deadline day, Arsenal fans – we got this

Morning folks and welcome to both a match day countdown, as well as a transfer window countdown, which promises to be quite a busy one in the Premier League, by the sounds of it. One player who won't be arriving in at The Arsenal is Lucas Paqueta, who yesterday signed for West Ham, so that's [...]

How the hell can Arsenal keep every player fit?

And so the saga ends. Relatively quicker than the Özil one that dragged out for two or three seasons, the Aubameyang saga was concluded within two months, as the club confirmed it had terminated the contract with the player by ‘mutual consent’. Whatever that means. And I say that because there are a myriad of [...]

Arsenal have weakened themselves this January – that is a fact.

Well here we are folks. The road ahead is as clear as day and so to is the list of players we will have available to us until the summer window opens up at the end of June. And I am sure you, as much as I, am disappointed with what has transpired this January. [...]

Arsenal gambling on what they’ve got is a worry

Here we are then. Transfer Deadline Day. One of the most hyperbolic days in the footballing calendar and a day that TV companies like Sky utterly adore because it puts eyeballs on their products and clicks in their advertising reports. For the rest of us junkies it is a hit of morphine at a time [...]

Arsenal hold the transfer cards; maybe a start for Odegaard?

Morning folks. Another Monday comes rolling around but unlike most Monday's, this one has the hyperbole of being labelled 'Transfer Deadline Day', which means Sky Sports go nuts all wearing silly yellow ties and dresses, they talk a little faster on Sky Sports News, they inject some kind of faux urgency into a day that is [...]

Partey time right on deadline

You've got to love the Arsenal fanbase. Last night as the door began creaking shut on the transfer window, Arsenal confirmed Thomas Partey as our final signing of this extended summer window, having finally paid the release clause and agreed the deal with the Ghanaian and his representatives. Going the other way - although we [...]

Saka and Pepe spring to life to down the Blades

After seeing what unfolded yesterday in most of the other games, there's something very satisfying about a relatively 'normal' victory over a disciplined Sheffield United side, like we got at home yesterday lunchtime. United were a travesty and Liverpool just forgot who they were, whereas Leicester also had an off day against West Ham so [...]
