Since Mesut Özil became Arsenal’s record signing on transfer deadline day in September 2013, there has been plenty of talk over whether he was worth the £42.4m Arsenal paid for the German. Here I look at whether he has fulfilled his potential with the Gunners. Statistically, Mesut Özil has been exceptional in his four years […]
It has been a largely positive week for Arsenal with wins in three competitions but it is a feature of the Premier League victory over Everton that caught my attention. It has been a case of finding the time to do some research and write something here. Much has been said about Nacho Monreal, by […]
Have you ever watched the film the Lion King? Perhaps you’ve seen a David Attenborough documentary on big cats in the wild, maybe you watched Cats the musical. OK the last one is unlikely to wield much help in this regard but the first two you’ll have noticed how when there are older lions on […]
