On Wednesday Eddie Nketiah came off the bench for England U21 to net a goal in a 3-3 draw with Andorra. The result itself was a bit of a shock given Andorra are rock bottom of the Euro 2021 qualifying group table though on closer look it seems a few more important players were rested […]
With the window closed, at least for international transfers and for those within the Premier League, now seems the perfect time to assess Arsenal’s Transfer Window. Deadline day signing Thomas Partey may be a game-changer as it will impact how Arteta can play but this article examines not only the late additions but all […]
Probably the most important move of Arsenal’s recent transfer window was the ejection of Ruth – Arsenal’s longest-serving player, signed during the timid Autumn of the Gazidis-Wenger reign. Ruth was on a fat, comfortable salary, somehow always first on the team-sheet sub-list, despite not living up to expectations. Ruth was happy to swap shirts with […]
I wish there were 3 A Thomas Partey blog At some point, maybe soon, Arsenal will play with a three man midfield. It may be that we choose 3 actual midfielders or it may be that when we pause the TV we see 3 players in midfield much like when Saka and AMN play, or […]
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. […]
