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 […]
This was the Arsenal lineup for the match. ARSENAL BUILD-UP PLAY: Arsenal looked to build-up in a 3-2-5 as we’ve seen a lot this preseason and the end of last season. With Chambers dropping deep to form a back 3 with Elneny and Partey forming a double pivot. Aubameyang and Smith Rowe would drop deep […]
As the speculation continues about when and if Xhaka departs for Rome, and consequently whether Arsenal will sign a senior partner for Thomas Partey, the central midfielder we have signed, is quietly impressing. Albert ‘Sambi’ Lokonga, was and perhaps is, thought to be a squad addition, to give us strength in depth and certainly a […]
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. […]
Swapping the shirt number from 18 to 5 isn’t the main change for Thomas Partey.The biggest change for the Ghana international happened last summer and I’m not referring to his move to Arsenal from Atletico Madrid: the biggest change for him was going from supporting actor to main lead.Arsenal triggering Thomas Partey’s release clause on […]
I was asked On Monday to write about Granit Xhaka leaving Arsenal yesterday and then he performs as he against the World Champions – What timing! No fan likes a player to be disrespectful to the club that is paying their wages and Granit Xhaka’s recent quotes seeming to try and engineer an early resolution […]
With many of the Arsenal faithful still bemoaning the fact that Aston Villa beat the club to the signature of Buendia, our attention turns to a position on the pitch that I believe is far more crucial. The Argentinian may well be hugely talented, but my feeling is that we are blessed with young creative […]
Whilst fans await the festival of football that we hope the delayed Euros will be, Arenal fans are using their down time to moan about the players we have not signed in the first few days of the summer transfer window. Having missed out, apparently, on Emi Buendia, the club are now being linked, to […]
We now know that common sense prevailed and the rumours that Bukayo Saka was to miss out on Southgate’s final 26, which would have left Arsenal, traditionally among the elite of European club football, with only 2 players on show at the Euros starting this month, were false. Arsenal will now have three outfield players […]
For years, we’ve stood by and watched our best players leave the club. Transfer markets were like grey clouds in the distance; they couldn’t be avoided, what was about to happen seemed inevitable; rumours circled, players agitated for their ‘big’ moves, they left and misery rained down on the fan base. From our perspective, the […]
