I Want Stephen Appiah At Arsenal

2008-09-05T15:15:00+00:00

Morning all. International breaks are simply awful. The good news is the Jaguars and the Seminoles start this weekend, and the Under 8's I coach start this weekend as well. So that will attempt to keep my mind off of the lack of a game this weekend for Arsenal.

If you haven't heard, former Fenerbache midfielder Stephen Appiah is a free agent.

Europe’s 10 Most Overpriced Transfers; Or: Prem Transfer Roundup.

2008-09-05T14:00:16+00:00

Sadly, we could've turned this thing into an all-Prem list, but did our best to look elsewhere. Didn't turn out so well. The problem is so many sums paid in the Premiership dwarf that of those in other leagues - Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, etc. - that it can make their normally [...]

The Premiership Talk Friday Five: $1,000,000,000,000

2008-09-05T13:00:08+00:00

With this weekend being an international week, this edition of the Premiership Talk Friday Five takes one last glance at the world of transfers. Manchester City's new ownership - valued at approximately $1 trillion - didn't pull off as many transfer coups as they hoped, but Robinho could soon be joined by some of the [.

Arsenal on the brink of signing United target

2008-09-05T12:06:00+00:00

Arsenal are considering offering Steven Appiah a contract after the player admitted he would relish a move to the Premier League. The Ghana international is now a free agent after being released by Turkish side Fenerbahce and can still sign for any outside the transfer window.

Arsene Wenger is keen to add to his midfield options after missing out on Gareth Barry and Xabi Alonso during August and Appiah looks a suitable candidate.

Copa Sudamericana: the champions march on

2008-09-05T11:33:53+00:00

A simple assignment for Arsenal de Sarandí on Thursday night in their defence of the Copa Sudamericana, and the test was passed at a canter. Having beaten Deportivo Motagua 4-0 in Sarandí in the first leg a couple of weeks ago, Daniel Garnero's defending champions got through the second with a 2-1 win over the Hondurans in Tegucigalpa.

Football makes ‘Sweet Dreams’ come true

2008-09-05T10:35:19+00:00

You know what really stood out about the recently closed transfer window? Not the brinksmanship, the complaints about tapping up, or even the idea of billion-dollar teams squabbling over a couple million pounds. The one thing that really stood out to me was all the talk about "dream moves." It seemed like every high-profile star that [.

Appiah Arsenal'e Mi?

2008-09-05T10:16:00+00:00

Ben de telegraph.co.uk'in yalancısıyım. Appiah ile WestHam United sonrasında Arsenal'in de ilgilendiğini duyurmuş İngiliz internet sitesi. Ganalı oyuncu "Allah'ın yardımıyla Premier Lig'de oynama hayalimi gerçekleştireceğim" demiş. Haftada 40.000 paunda insan daha neler söyler, doğaldır.

Defensive Midfield Candidate #1: Denílson

2008-09-05T07:21:21+00:00

As a result of the rather tedious international break, there is no Arsenal this weekend. This lack of Arsenal leads to a lack of Arsenal news, a trend which is sure to continue until the lead-up to the match at Blackburn next weekend. The lack of news, coupled with a lack of transfer activity has [..

Bits and bobs + Arsecast 90

2008-09-05T06:31:27+00:00

Morning from a wet and dreary Dublin. I was really hoping for a bit of an Indian summer in September but it turns out the Indian summer is just another Irish summer, except a bit colder.

A few bits and bobs to talk about but as we are still in the midst of the Interlull it's all a bit quiet overall.

Santa Cruz Fit For Arsenal Clash

2008-09-05T00:10:47+00:00

Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz should be fit to face Arsenal in the Premier League on September 13 after declaring himself available for Paraguay. Paraguay take on Argentina in a crucial World Cup qualifier on Saturday but Santa Cruz had been a doubt because of the Achilles problem that forced him to limp out of the [.

Am I the only one disgusted by talk of Appiah?

2008-09-04T23:29:53+00:00

So everyone is talking about the Ghanaian midfielder currently a free agent from Fenerbache, and how he could provide experience and a role to replace Flamini at Arsenal. Well I have to say that this would be ok typical of a side lacking in ambition like West Ham, but a clear step backwards for a squad based [.

Gunner Boss Says His Team Can STILL Deliver

2008-09-04T19:14:43+00:00

Arsene Wenger is confident that his young guns will be able to compete for major trophies this season despite claims that his side lacks strength in depth. The Frenchman is confident however that his young squad can cope with the demands of delivering silverware after three trophyless seasons. Wenger was merely a spectator on transfer deadline day, [.

Arsenal to move for FANTASTIC midfield solution!

2008-09-04T18:52:36+00:00

Reports are surfacing suggesting that managerless West Ham are facing very stiff competition from Arsene Wenger for this fantastic midfielder. Don't forget to check out Online Football Manager!

I wish David Dein could be back on the scene......

2008-09-04T17:56:00+00:00

The currently vacated post of COE at Arsenal is set to be filled and I cant help but wish that it was David Dein who was set to be appointed.

I know it is virtually impossible now for Dein to be appointed after he sold his shares and had a pretty big bust up with the board but there is no mistaking the fact that the man is Arsenal through and through.

Fabregas Likes Arsenal’s Style

2008-09-04T17:44:46+00:00

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas believes that there are a lot of similarities between the Gunners and the Spanish national side and has revealed he enjoys playing in both systems. Fabregas has played 32 times for his country and the 21-year-old believes that the style of football for both Spain and Arsenal is quite similar.

French Star Nasri Feels AT HOME With Gunners

2008-09-04T17:19:03+00:00

Despite moving to England this summer, French midfielder Samir Nasri feels right at home with most of the dressing room speaking in his native French tongue at the Emirates. The 21-year-old moved to the north Londoners in the summer for £12 million, and the former Marseille man has revealed that it has been a lot easier [.

International Week

2008-09-04T16:02:34+00:00

Booooring. Time for a respite from EPL action on the weekend. To little surprise, a break in the action means a lull in any sort of Arsenal-related news, with no games to preview. That and with the transfer window shut, no new signings can be made. Instead, it's cross our fingers and hope that none of the players get hurt time.

Would You Rather Your Club Had a Billionaire Owner or a Good Manager?

2008-09-04T15:48:04+00:00

The events of the last few days point pretty clearly to one thing: the end of the football manager. Alan Curbishley quit because West Ham sold players without his consent, Kevin Keegan may or may not be about to do the same thing. In the age of billionaire businessman owners and/or sporting directors, managers just don't [.

Gilberto Backs Prem New-Boy To Adapt Quickly

2008-09-04T15:14:32+00:00

Ex-Arsenal midfielder Gilberto feels Robinho will adapt to the Premier League quickly - and the only problem he will face at Manchester City is the language barrier. City boss Mark Hughes arguably pulled off the summers biggest coup on Monday after sealing a big-money deal for the 24-year-old Brazilian.

Nick Hornby on the State of English Football

2008-09-04T13:56:00+00:00

I wasn't going to post anything else today over here. But, um. Nick Hornby's latest post is pretty much made of awesome and reflects a lot of what I (and other fans) feel. Granted, I haven't supported Arsenal (or any team) for 40 years (mostly because I'm not 40). But I don't think that makes my feels on the issue any less valid.

Mike Ashley drinking a pint? Here's the video by popular request of the Newcastle owner guzzling a beer during his side's recent 3-0 hammering by Arsenal.

Top 11 Football Rejects: Ronaldo, Ljungberg, Appiah, Canizares and Davids lead the way

2008-09-04T10:10:00+00:00

So, the transfer deadline (August 31) has passed and the football market is now closed. Closed? Not quite. Indeed, while transfers from one club to another will have to wait until January to resume, teams may still sign players as free agents (and that until March 31, 2009). So, inspired from this Top 11 Serie A [.

Six Dodgy Alan Curbishley signings

2008-09-04T09:29:06+00:00

Following Alan Curbishley's departure from West Ham yesterday, his transfer policy at the club has come under increased scrutiny. Soccerlens has rounded up Curbishley's worst forays into the transfer market. 1. Freddie Ljungberg from Arsenal Curbishley should have known that sneaky Arsene Wenger only sells his stars when they are past it.

The Interlull is upon us

2008-09-04T06:13:37+00:00

So here we are Arsechums. We're now officially in the lull. The international lull. I shall christen it the Interlull.

Of course this should be put in context and we've just experienced the Transfer Window Peak, now known as the Tranpeak. After the huge interest in the Tranpeak, which was massively anti-climactic because of the fact we didn't bring anyone in (a NonSigTranpeak), it just makes this Interlull seem even more lullsome.

Sebastian Mendez’s Bruce Lee Impression

2008-09-04T06:00:17+00:00

There's really no debating this one, Sebastian Mendez of San Lorenzo had zero intention of going for ball. It appears he'd just been watching too many Bruce Lee movies and wanted to perform a kung fu ode of sorts on Falcao (not that one, a new one) of River Plate. Falcao also happens to be [...]

Europe’s 10 Biggest Transfer Window Bargains

2008-09-04T00:30:50+00:00

Obviously the true bargains won't be known for some time, but there were a few transfers which caught the eye before the participants had even put on their new shirt. Eliminating loans made sure somebody has actually bought up the entire contract this summer, and everyone of these guys happened to come in at under [.
