So, Thomas Lemar could be on his way to the Arsenal this summer- after a season in which he flourished for Monaco, scoring 9 times and grabbing 10 assists (league stats). He is commanding £50m plus potential add on’s fee, is he worth it? … Absolutely. At 21, Thomas Lemar took Ligue 1 by storm; […]

Are we in for Higuain or are we not in for Higuain? Wenger make your mind up this time
How to solve a problem like Higuain I saw a funny tweet the other day, it went something like this ‘’according to local reports, Gonzalo Higuain has undergone too many medical tests at Arsenal, and has now become a qualified doctor’’, I assure you that reading that as a tweet was a lot funnier than […]
A freer role for Ramsey with Draxler in the side – How might it look?
Aaron Ramsey had a blinder at Euro 2016. Leading Wales to an unexpected semi-final (albeit one he was unfortunately suspended from) and standing out in every match he played in. He ended with stats of 5 appearances 4 assists and 1 goal, in my eyes he’s been the best Arsenal player at the tournament (Koscielny […]
Arsenal Transfer Rumours – Round-Up and Ratings
Well, That Jamie Vardy saga was entertaining whilst it lasted. Nearly a week on, I still cannot quite believe there were so many Arsenal fans disappointed with him choosing to sign a new deal at Leicester.

With Xhaka signed will Wenger to revert to 4141 in the face of strong competition in 2016/17
Every day someone has their say on Arsene Wenger, every day we’re reminded via social media, journalists, or Piers bloody Morgan, that he is no longer a force in world management. His tactics are stale, he can’t motivate the players, and he has lost that edge that once gave him an advantage over every coach […]
Buy Griezmann to keep Ozil – Your mission should you choose to accept it Arsene
Two things need to happen this summer; we need to keep Mesut Ozil and get Antoine Griezmann. We all know and cringe when we remember what happened in the summer of 2014-with the whole Luis Suarez debacle, that cannot happen again. Last season we were told there was no top striker available, this summer there […]
5 things that should be on Arsenal and Arsene’s wish list this Summer
The past few months on Twitter have resembled Baz Lurhman’s opening to his film interpretation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, ‘’Two households (AKB’S v WOB) both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene’’ Okay so you swap dignity for petulance and swap Verona for the pitch and you get the […]
