This is Part 3 of James Howson’s scouting report. Click for Part 1 | Part 2 After one of Arsenal’s worst seasons in recent history it’s no doubt one of the big stories was contract renewals, be that of the manager or of star players such as Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Ozil. Here is the […]
Granit Xhaka sits in his lavish home office at an executive desk. In his left hand is a glass of fine champagne and in his right is a computer mouse. He gazes anxiously at the widescreen monitor of his computer that currently displays the homepage for the popular dating site, E-Harmony. He knows he needs […]
Arsenal players inspire ambivalence…….love and dismay in one. At this moment, Lacazette is supposedly coming. Though I’ll do as the cliché says and only “be happy once it’s on Arsenal.com”. We’ve been burnt by this speculation far too many times, it’s like the boy who cried ‘wolf’. But then I’ve been thinking about players who […]

In this three part series, I look at possible replacements for the nine players whose contracts […]
Jack (Frost)…no “cold” shoulder, but is it time? It was the summer solstice a few days ago, which is the longest day of the year. It’s the period of most sunlight, and the greatest exposure the Earth has to the Sun in orbit. Because it was the longest day, the title reminded me of the […]
