Here we are back again with Arsenal Youth expert, John Williamson (@willow1886) and I suspect, with respect to all our recent subjects, this is an interview that our readership has been waiting for. Yes, in the week, Arsenal signed Thomas Partey, potentially the most complete all-round central midfielder we have had since the great Patrick […]
After a stressful, yet largely satisfying end to the Transfer Window for Arsenal, with the addition of a much-needed top class central midfielder in Thomas Partey, we sadly have an international break. When most fans are desperate to see their new players in action, we will have to satisfy ourselves with watching them on international […]
With recent talk of Kolasinac being sold we could find ourselves a Kieran Tierney injury away from an issue at left back. Yes, Cedric can cover left back and Saka, can cover left wingback but neither situation is necessarily a long-term solution for a club of our stature and aspirations. It therefore seemed timely to […]
I wrote this on Sunday morning, but it has been on my mind for ages. Those who chat to me privately will know that I was never overly concerned about the signing of Houssem Aouar, not because I don’t admire him, more that I don’t see the pressing need. Yes, I acknowledge the lack of […]
If we get our timing right this article should be published on the occasion of our next Arsenal Youth Star’s 18th Birthday. (Happy Birthday!) Of course, we have had many special players younger than 18 grace the Arsenal first team and one such individual – Bukayo Saka – also broke through on the left wing, […]
With Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the campaign continuing on Wednesday I have been asked to pen a few thoughts for the Fan Column on, man of the hour, Eddie Nketiah. Of course, he has been the talk of Arsenal social media for his goal bit also his apparent disillusionment at Pepe for not squaring earlier, […]
Now that our skipper has committed himself to the club for the next three years it may be time to consider where he might end up in the great pantheon of wonderful striking talent that have played for The Arsenal. The list of superlatives used to describe Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has been lengthy throughout his […]
Ben Cottrell v MK Dons (Thanks to Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Getty Images) This week, inspired by his recent goal scoring exploits, John (@willow1886) and I are returning to midfield, and discussing U23 Man of the Moment, Ben Cottrell. Ben has been at Arsenal since he was 9 years old and signed his first […]
With it being widely reported that Icelandic International keeper Runar Alex Runarsson had a medical on Monday ahead of joining the Gunners for only £1.6 million, I thought it timely to get the low down on our potential new shot stopper. With reports if the Dijon custodian being so disparate, I wanted to hear it […]
For the subject of this week’s interview – U23 Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo – I’m tapping into the considerable knowledge of John Williamson: few know more when it comes to Arsenal’s Youth. The young shot-stopper came to most of our attention when Unai Emery included him in the travelling squad to Napoli in 2018/19. Arthur returned having […]
