As it’s an international week, I thought why not do another loan watch. This time we take a closer look at Francis Coquelin’s season so far. The French youngster was loaned to German outfit Freiburg in the summer and, to be honest, that was kind of a surprise to me. With the signing of Mathieu […]
Doppelpass It’s all about German players at Arsenal at the moment. Mesut Özil the most talked about but also our two youngsters Serge Gnabry and Thomas Eisfeld who did a great job over the last week by scoring against West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City. I guess you read a lot player profiles and stuff […]
Doppelpass A Mesut Özil flashmob! Really? I expected a lot cheering for Sunday’s home debut but a flashmob was far more than than I expected. Fun to see how a German can get the English excited. And in real fashion Mesut did his best to give the crowd something back. Three assists in one game, […]
Doppelpass I want to take this week’s blog to talk about international Gooners and the friendship among them. As German Gooner on the road, I mentioned in several Tweets that I spent last weekend in wonderful Ireland/Northern Ireland. What a lovely place to visit, and how many lovely people to chat about Arsenal and footy […]
Doppelpass Deadline day was more than a week ago but the Mesut Özil hype is still up and running. With the Ö, or Umlaut as we call it should be named best, used feature on Twitter and the shirt sales gone straight through the roof, there was a notable relief when the internationals were done […]
Doppelpass We survived deadline day and managed to sign one of the best midfielders in the world. And guess what he’s not Spanish, he’s German 😉 Mesut Özil joined Arsenal from Real Madrid and I’m pleased to say I was wrong with my suggestion that we can’t seal such a deal. Mea culpa as the […]
Doppelpass With our place in the Champions League now secure, it’s time to get our transfer business started. Do we have deals in place? Do we have targets who demand Champions League football? I’m quite sure of that because otherwise we could have signed players before right? There’s simply no other explanation. As we are […]
Doppelpass Munich director Karl Heinz Rummenigge made it clear that Gustavo can leave. The fee should be around 17 mill which is a fair price for a player like Gustavo. The interest in Gustavo is wide spread. From Wolfsburg to Moscow to Arsenal. Wolfsburg seemed to be in the driving seat until last week. Wolfsburg […]
Doppelpass Another week gone by, another week without a transfer. Patience is the most hated word among Arsenal fans at the moment and if you asked me it will be until the 2nd of September. We need to strengthen in many departments and one of them defensive midfield. Lot of Arsenal fans see Bayern Munich’s […]
Doppelpass I’m not a big fan of exclusives but even I need one once a year. So here we go. Arsenal are back in the German market! I know what you’re thinking. They are in every market at the moment and I’m probably the most critical transfer follower of all time. But this one is […]
