Saka too young for England For those questioning why other young players are being selected for Southgate’s England, perhaps such as Foden or Greenwood, ahead of our own revelation Bukayo Saka, I say be careful what you wish for. When you question the elevation of Ainsley Maitland-Niles over Saka, just rewind a few weeks and […]
Season of Surprises – Crystal Ball 20/21…. Asking the GT readers (Part 1) For the first time in a generation I’m very excited about an Arsenal season. Fans feed on belief and Mikel Arteta is obliging. To preview the season, I thought it would be fun to ask the Gunners Town readers for your opinion […]
When Dani Ceballos joined the Gunners on loan from Real Madrid last season, much was expected of him and it was fair to say that he was the direct replacement for the departing Aaron Ramsey, an Arsenal stalwart that served the club for many years before his big money move to Juventus. Ceballos himself had […]
It is not often in the modern era that players burst on to the scene at 16, particularly not at Premier League clubs. That said, Arsenal’s youngest league debutant has come in recent times, when Jack Wilshere, aged 16 years and 256 days, took his bow. It is interesting therefore that the subject of our […]
Arteta has spoken in the past on how he requires his centre forward to provide more fundamental traits to the team, rather than just being a ‘fox in the box’ and converting chances. Our Gabonese superstar, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is an elite goalscorer, but struggles to link play together. This is why we have seen Lacazette […]
There’s been talk lately of a move for Hector Bellerin to PSG. With talk of needing to sell to buy, is it time that we cashed in on Hector? These are the pro points for keeping him, in my view: – Not old Hector is 25, which is one’s prime generally […]
You can’t sell Hector, he’s world class innit You can’t play Cedric, Saints reject so binit! Don’t matter bruv we got Ainsley Maitland-Niles Not posh like his name but better by miles I make you wrong, Niles ain’t no fullback mate He’s a wing-back guv, or maybe an ‘Eight’ Either way the Englishman […]
Very few people know more about the French league than Robin Bairner of goal.com @Rbairner. His information and analysis of Arsenal latest Brazilian acquisition; Gabriel Magalhaès can thus be regarded as valuable and reliable. This and many others were the reasons why I had an interview with him to get the lowdown on the Brazilian centre […]
When Gabriel Martinelli arrived in the summer of 2019 from third tier Brazilian side Ituano FC, not many would have predicted the teenagers incredible impact in his first season in arguably the toughest league in the world, however the 19-year old has been nothing short of a revelation leading him to gain plaudits from some […]
With Balogun refusing to commit and out of favour, Martinelli injured and Greenwood leaving, and despite the Arsenal fans wanting to see Aubameyang played centrally, Arteta is entering the new season with only Lacazette and Nketiah as is centre forwards. Or is he…? Last summer we saw glimpses of Tyreece John-Jules, and these glimpses made […]
