It’s party time at the Emirates – and not the kind that’s been getting the England team into trouble this week. Arsenal finally managed socially distance themselves from the Atletico board they’d spent the summer negotiating with, and secure the signing of Thomas Partey. The heist-like nature of the deal could easily have been cut […]
After a stressful, yet largely satisfying end to the Transfer Window for Arsenal, with the addition of a much-needed top class central midfielder in Thomas Partey, we sadly have an international break. When most fans are desperate to see their new players in action, we will have to satisfy ourselves with watching them on international […]
An Arsenal transfer window analysis – was it good, bad, or indifferent? We’re all pleased we got Partey, and of Aouar and himself, I believe we needed Thomas more. Though despite the high here, I’m not sure this is a stellar window. This isn’t to be unnecessarily negative. The points from the start were […]
https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/1313241301148749824?s=20 The transfer window has shut and all things considered it’s been a very good one for The Arsenal. Had the Gunners also managed to sign Aouar and move on two or three other players deemed surplus to requirements it would have been a 10/10 window. But I’m going to give them a 9/10. When […]
With recent talk of Kolasinac being sold we could find ourselves a Kieran Tierney injury away from an issue at left back. Yes, Cedric can cover left back and Saka, can cover left wingback but neither situation is necessarily a long-term solution for a club of our stature and aspirations. It therefore seemed timely to […]
Desperate for what we don’t want POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I spend too much time scrolling through Twitter. I admit. I had to get off it on Saturday though. The transfer window turns people who I respect into angry and irrational. I totally understand that you can be angry and greatly disappointed after it’s over. […]
I wrote this on Sunday morning, but it has been on my mind for ages. Those who chat to me privately will know that I was never overly concerned about the signing of Houssem Aouar, not because I don’t admire him, more that I don’t see the pressing need. Yes, I acknowledge the lack of […]
Our 3-1 league defeat at Anfield was an unusual one to analyse and consisted of several ifs, buts and maybes. Had Sadio Mane been sent off following the early incident involving him and Kieran Tierney or had Alexandre Lacazette taken his clear opportunity in the second half for example, we would obviously have been discussing […]
Arsenal and Arteta are clearly taking a considerate approach to ease William Saliba into life in North London, with the Frenchman’s only appearance so far being in our pre-season friendly against MK Dons, in which he didn’t fail to impress. If expectations weren’t already high enough, his assured display on the right-side in an unfamiliar […]
Don’t fall in love POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES How often did you fall in love as a youngster? I distinctly remember thinking that I was in love on numerous occasions. I remember forcing the feeling. I wanted to be in love. My mates were. They told me that it was brilliant. They told me that […]
