It has, by and large, been a successful summer thus far for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. The Gunners’ lack of striking depth appears to have been solved by the additions of vastly experienced international forwards Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, while almost everyone appears in agreement that the signing of Spanish midfield schemer Santi Cazorla […]
Abou Diaby – A symbol of Arsenal’s failings?
Amidst what amounted to no more than a free for all by journalists worldwide against Arsene Wenger on the Robin Van Persie saga, Arsenal’s opening press conference of their tour of the Far East contained a significant bit of transfer news.
A Rollercoaster Month at The Emirates
What an incredible difference one month can make in the modern game. On the Wednesday 4th of July, Arsenal captain Robin Van Persie took the wind out of the club’s summer sails by announcing he would not be signing another contract.
