Lacazette – Should he stay or go? The Pros and Cons set out.
Is it now Lacazette to Lacagoals? Has our once record singing been a flop? Is it time for him to go? Alexandre Lacazette has been an enigmatic player at Arsenal. He joined in the summer of 2017, and at last, we had a top striker to seemingly replace Giroud and outdo Danny […]

Arsenal must follow Wolves lead and turn the influence of Super Agents to their Advantage
There has been much comment of late on how the influence of Kia Joorcabchiam, Super-Agent and self-confessed Arsenal fan is growing at Arsenal. Indeed, this belief will have strengthened with the finalising of a contract extension for Luiz and the free transfer of Cedric this past week. The question I guess, we must ask is […]

Now is the time for Saka, Auba, Pepe with our Skipper through the middle v Norwich
PL Project Restart has been an interesting one for us. City away was always a tall order. Brighton away should have been a win. Southampton away was hard-fought and well won. And at Sheffield United in the Cup, we rode our luck badly but then another game vs. City resulted. Amidst this, we’re having our […]
