Arsenal spent the most money in the last transfer window in England but what you won’t hear in the headlines is that they spread it on six players, at an average of about 24 million euros each. Last season, it was quite evident that Arsenal lacked depth and it was a big reason why they […]

Tavares or Tierney v Liverpool or perhaps both??
As an Arsenal fan it is a lovely position to be in, where you have two players that are superb in their role, vying to be the first choice. For a manager, in this case Mikel Arteta, it must be wonderful, and this is exactly what the Spaniard will face in the coming weeks, and […]
Exclusive: Edu speaks to Zizou, again :)
Things have been quite on the inside information front recently. I blame the Australian lock downs and the utter crapness of Australia Post to be able to deliver anything. Apparently my latest phone tap from London Conley left Hertfordshire 6 weeks ago, landed at Sydney 2 days later and took 5 weeks to travel 10 […]
Ramsdale – The £24 million Arsenal signing that makes the difference (Full Analysis of why!)
The goalkeeping situation at Arsenal is an interesting topic. Bernd Leno has been the undisputed number one for three years and when considering the north Londoners acquired his services for £19 million back in 2018, he’s been good value for money and certainly one of the better keepers the Gunners have had since the departure […]
A Message for all Arsenal Fans – There is no victory without harmony
There is no victory without harmony Is there something missing in your lives? Do you feel empty? Does life itself make you feel disenfranchised? Do you feel like a loser? If football is your only outlet of these emotions and thoughts, please don’t use them in a negative or harmful way towards any players or […]
Internal Solutions versus External Additions: how Arteta and Edu can still turn this transfer window around
A few weeks ago, before the Euros had started and before the dust had settled on Arteta’s first full season in charge, I called for ruthlessness in this summer’s transfer window. A shout that while having the best intentions, was likely a naïve take on a transfer window that is truly unlike any other in […]
From Hero to Zero to Hero – Granit Xhaka?
It’s three months but it feels like a hundreds years ago. It was June, 11th when I posted a blog bidding farewell to Granit Xhaka, a player that divided opinions since the very beginning and seemed certain to leave after five years.Today, the same Granit Xhaka is about to pen a new 4-years deal that […]
Let’s all do Lokonga – More evidence of a clear Arsenal transfer strategy
Let’s all do Lokonga The long-telegraphed signing of Belgian U21 International Albert Sambi Lokonga was announced by Arsenal yesterday. He becomes Arsenal’s second confirmed addition to the first team squad this summer, with Ben White, assuming his medical is satisfactory, post Euro holiday being the third. Tavares, signed last week from Benfica, Lokonga and White […]
A Blueprint for Arsenal’s 2021/22 Summer Rebuild – Part One
They say that you can never make the same mistake twice because the second time you make it, it’s not a mistake, it’s a choice. If that’s anything to go by, then it appears the Arsenal hierarchy made their choice a while ago to take a back seat, and allow the club to slowly regress. […]
Ben White to Arsenal: Bold or Dumb? You decide…
Ben White is very likely to be the first signing of the summer.According to many media outlets, the English defender will join from Brighton for a fee between £ 45m and £ 50m, quite an investment.There are too many reports, almost identical, coming out these days not to take this piece of news as legit, […]
