Can Julian Draxler lessen the pressure on Ozil, while also learning his trade from Ollie and Alexis?
Arsenal have built an identity this season with high pressing and swift transitions in attack; a feature which seems the most important weapon of the team, going into next season. However, hassling teams and winning back possession hasn’t always produced the desired objective, which is to become ruthless in the final third. I also don’t […]
Are Arsenal eyeing the next Senderos or Djourou or the next Shaqiri in Switzerland and is it Embolo?
A scouting report from Switzerland, that is Dave’s (@goonerdave66) latest idea; and what a glorious idea that is. I have a unique opportunity to let people know that my soon-to-be country has one of the best-organized and productive youth academies you might find. Here in Switzerland, discipline and work come before pure talent and there’s […]

“I have a little coq…” says Arsene Wenger…..
Arsene in fact said, “I have a little cock n’ bull story to tell you, about transfers”, but never mind, he kind of said it… right? Ah yes, that time of year again, when every word is twisted to make a story of transfer related bullshit. (I think I may have used this before, but […]
Wenger has to decide ‘who plays where?’ Certainly right wing & beside Le Coq, before making signings
I’m not going to talk about transfers, please revert to the very needed and classy Media Watch section on Arsenal’s website for that. Don’t be misled by the title then, the whole point of this blog is trying to understand how Arsène Wenger sees the Arsenal going into next season. We were all happy with […]
What could the possible Cech transfer mean to Szczesny, Ospina and Martinez?
The goalkeeper debate among Arsenal fans has shown its head on January 1st. On that infamous New Year’s day Arsenal’s squad, ridden with injuries, on the back of a busy Boxing period, succumbed to Southampton at St. Mary’s. It’s not the disappointing manner of the defeat or a knackered Alexis Sanchez that we’ll remember that […]
Julian Draxler – Genuine Arsenal target or Media Hype? – GT Report from Germany.
It’s been a while since my last post for Gunners Town. Apologies for that but being busy with my book launch and blog in Germany didn’t leave that much time. After Sky Germany broke the story about Julian Draxler edging closer to a Schalke exit I thought now is a good time to get back […]

Ryan Mason over Jack Wilshere – You Poor Misguided Middlesex Fools
I was sat on the ferry on the way to work on Monday morning, leisurely thumbing through my timeline when for some inexplicable reason a post for SpurredOnTv appeared. (A very poor substitute for ArsenalFanTv) 60 seconds cos you can’t talk about the spuds for longer than that without laughing Out of morbid curiosity […]
