Appiah aims to prove his fitness for interested clubs tonight

By 1970's Gooner We have done it before and we are doing it now. It seems that after our last posting two days ago on the likelihood of Arsene Wenger expressing an interest for free agent Stephen Appiah the national press is now publishing stories strongly linking the Ghanaian player with Arsenal.

Appiah to decide on Arsenal move after Friday?

By 1970's Gooner Stephen Appiah looks like a typical Arsene Wenger transfer target. He is going to cost nothing as he is now a free agent and is therefore not restricted in any way by the closure of the transfer window. And he has been out of action for almost a year (since last October) so there is no significant competition from other "big" clubs, making Arsenal and the prospect of playing Click to continue reading...

Arsenal need to improve in three areas to beat Newcastle

By 1970's Gooner As with many things in football, as in life, it's what you can do rather than what the others do, that will go a long way in determining your fate. And looking at Arsenal's performances so far this season there are three areas that need to improve if all the points against Newcastle are secured. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal are too dependent on Cesc Fabregas (plus video of goals Vs Twente)

By 1970's Gooner Midfield inspiration is what was clearly lacking against Fulham and midfield inspiration is what we got against Twente in the Champions League in the form of Cesc Fabregas. The question is what will Arsenal do if and when Cesc is injured or unavailable in some other way. There is simply no one ready to replace his trickery, vision and creativity.

Wenger traveled to Geneva to watch Swiss midfielder from close up

By 1970's Gooner Arsene Wenger's interest in signing another midfielder has been well documented and so has his desire to sign Turkish origin Swiss midfielder Gokhan Inler. His agent Dino Lambertini had already said only three weeks ago that he was travelling to London to begin talks with Arsene Wenger on Inler's possible transfer to Arsenal.

Arsenal contact IK Start for Anthony Annan “the new Essien” (plus video)

By 1970's Gooner Anthony Annan seems to possess all those characteristics that may make him a typical Arsene Wenger signing. He is at the not so ripe age of 22, no one has really heard of him but he is already a Ghanian international playing along side Michael Essien in the centre of Ghana's midfield and plays in that midfield position that Asrene has said he is looking to strengthen.

Denilson a creeping up on you……

By 1970's Gooner During the summer of 2007 and looking ahead to the following season, Gilberto Silva was naturally expected to star in the centre of Arsenal's midfield next to wonder boy Fabregas. He had already assumed the captaincy while Gallas was injured during the previous season and had an inspiring campaign, providing the maturity and experience the young guns desperately needed after Click to continue reading...

Eriksson rates Carlos Vela

By 1970's Gooner Carlos Vela's fine performances for Arsenal in the pre season friendly games has not gone unnoticed by Sven Goran Eriksson, the new head coach of the Mexican national team. His spies in Europe have been impressed with Vela's prowess in front of goal especially that fine effort against Stuttgart when he rounded Lehmann before slotting the ball into the net off the bar.

Arsenal Vs Real Madrid: Player analysis and ratings

By 1970's Gooner It was important that Arsenal came out victorious against Real as another defeat would have dented the young players confidence. The team is looking sharper and sharper the more games it plays and I think this will show in the Amsterdam tournament as Wenger is likely to play more first teamers. Click to continue reading...

Why Wenger will buy no one else

By 1970's Gooner We hear the same thing every year. Arsene Wenger promises to buy two may be three players and he insists that the money is there for him if he wants it. Then his attention is diverted in trying to keep the young stars he created from departing to what they think are pastures new. Click to continue reading...

Primorac speaks on the Arsenal youngsters and sets a time frame for Eduardo’s return

By 1970's Gooner Boro Primorac is considered to be Arsene's "real" right hand man as far as strategy and tactics are concerned. Wenger did after all take him to Japan as his second in command when he managed Grampus Eight there. He usually sits behind Wenger looking serious and quiet and he does not usually speak much.

Arsenal to loose out on Brazilian wonder kid as his mother pleads for his release!

By 1970's gooner Arsenal's interest in Brazilian wonder kid, Diogo Luis Santo, who plays for Portuguesa in Brazil may be about to end as another European club are in advanced negotiations for his signature. Arsenal have already hit a brick wall in their attempts to sign the player. The apparently intransigent Portuguesa president, Manuel da Lupa, revealed that they have twice turned down Click to continue reading...

Song’s Olympics could prove Wenger wrong

By 1970's Gooner Alexander Song had a bad game against Fulham at Craven Cottage a couple of seasons ago and a lot of frustrated fans got on his back since then. They seemed to ignore that in that defeat the whole team had a nightmare of a game with hardly anyone of the players playing above average. Click to continue reading...

Carlos Vela ready to replace Eduardo

By 1970's Gooner Eduardo's return to first team action has now been placed in October as he is not expected to start his pre season until September. The assessment is that he will make a full recovery which is great news for Arsenal. This however leaves Arsene Wenger short of the full complement of forwards that are currently available.

Fabregas joins Barcelona…. in Uzbekistan!

By Aries Everyone berated Alexander Hleb for predicting that Cesc Fabregas will eventually join Barcelona. It seems that his prophesy has come true in quite a strange way and much sooner than everyone anticipated. You may have heard that Samual Eto'o of Barcelona has been invited along with some other colleagues of his to visit Uzbekistan as guests of local club Kuruvchi. Click to continue reading...
