The new left-back Andre Santos might not be Arsenal's only Brazilian footballer for much longer, as
it is being reported that Arsene Wenger is trying to find a new striker he can bring to the team
this January. The Mirror states that he has eyed Tottenham's summer transfer target Leandro Damiao,
who is currently at [.
Despite all the talk about the potential effect of the loss of van Persie or other players like
Song and Walcott to injury (to Arsenal's ambitions), Arsene Wenger has still ruled out signing
players to back up the key men in the January transfer window. "At the moment, I do nothing in
January," he said.
Reports are coming in that the Italian giants Juventus are still intending to make a big bid to
sign Theo Walcott, and are prepared to offer the Serbian International Milos Krasic as part
exchange on the deal. Walcott is currently in the same position as Robin Van Persie with just 18
months left on his [.
After 224 seconds into his Arsenal debut, Samir Nasri had already opened his Arsenal account with a
simple tap in from a pass from Denilson. One of the best talents ever to be discovered by Arsene
Wenger from France, Nasri was playing the football of his life. In his first season, he won over
the [..
Arsene Wenger was more relieved than over-the-moon after Arsenal's late winner against Aston Villa
yesterday. Wenger admitted that he knew it would be a diificult game at Villa Park as it always has
been historically. He said: "You go to City and then to Villa and I have to give fantastic credit
to my players, [.
There have been many talks about the potential signing of Eden Hazard from Lille or Mario Gotze
from Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal recently, especially after the Gunners lost Nasri and Fabregas in
the recent summer. A creative spark from midfield is extremely essential if Arsenal are to push for
any sort of major honours in [.
Organisation, the people and the way they work three reasons why Arsenal's Andre Santos opted for
the Gunners during the summer transfer window. Speaking to Arsenal Player, the Brazilian was full
of praise for manager ...
Although Arsenal's senior team performed brilliantly against Wigan yesterday, Arsene Wenger will
field the youngsters for all to see once again on Tuesday night. The second string of players
combined with youngsters will play against Olympiacos in the last group stage match in the

The 22 year old defender Kieran Gibbs has been at Arsenal since 2004. Trained under the youth coach
of Arsenal, Gibbs has been trained well and polished into one of the future talents in the
footballing world. Furthermore, the left footed full back is English, which makes things even more
exciting and he was hotly [.
I am sure that Arsenal could survive by not buying another defender in January, but after today's
news that Andre Santos is set to be on the treatment table for at least three months, it is time
for Wenger to think seriously. I said today that Arsenal need Santos back ASAP, but now I have
[...]
It is being reported this morning that Arsene Wenger has put both Marouane Chamakh and Andrei
Arshavin on the Arsenal transfer list in the hope of off-loading at least one (if not both) of his
out-of-form players in January. Arshavin is worried about losing his place in the Russia side at
the Euros next summer [.
According to the Russian daily Sovietsky Sports, Zenit St. Petersburg are keen on re-acquiring the
Arsenal playmaker Andrei Arshavin for the original sum of €16.5 million that the North London
side paid for him back in 2009. The report suggests that Zenit are hoping to bring back the little
Russian with a view of appointing [.
All the latest Arsenal transfer news on the grapevie this morning is concerning the possible loan
move for Thierry Henry after Arsene Wenger admitted that a short-term (6 week) signing would be
"ideal", but there is still much discussion before the New York Red Bulls would consider giving
permission for that to happen.
"Get ready to get closer. Closer to legends. Closer to history and closer to the unseen magic of
matchday. Get ready to take your seat in the players changing room. Get ready to run down the
players tunnel and to imagine the roar of 60,000 fans. " – Bob Wilson
Those are the words of Arsenal legend Wilson in the video that introduced me to the new
Arsenal ‘Self-guided' Stadium Tour.
Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is by far one of the best players of this season, regardless of
his position on the pitch. Speaking to Arsenal Player about the first few months of the campaign,
the France ...
The new left-back Andre Santos might not be Arsenal's only Brazilian footballer for much longer, as
it is being reported that Arsene Wenger is trying to find a new striker he can bring to the team
this January. The Mirror states that he has eyed Tottenham's summer transfer target Leandro Damiao,
who is currently at [.
Arsene Wenger is adamant that the other Arsenal strikers will end up scoring goals, whether Robin
Van Persie carries on his phenomenal form or not, although at the moment it seems that the Dutchman
is the only one that is winning games for the Gunners this season. "At the moment I can't deny that
we [.
Wigan away tomorrow and a 7am start from Sussex. The full horror of the 3-2 defeat a couple of
seasons back still haunts me but we must travel with confidence although they did win last week so
will be about as buoyant aas they could be when the face us. Great.
We managed a 2-2 draw last term and AW has had his say ahead of the Premier League encounter at
the DW/JJB/ASBO Stadium and he has reflected on recent results going ginto tomorrow's game.
When Cesc Fabregas betrayed Arsenal to return to his boyhood club, many thought it would spell
trouble for the Gunners as they had lost their inspirational skipper. Then, Van Persie stepped up.
Goals, assists, flair and leadership were provided by the Dutchman. More importantly, Van Persie
gave Arsenal his heart and loyalty.
It was not too long ago, in the 2007/2008 where Nicklas Bendtner netted his first goal for Arsenal
in a 7-0 rout of Slavia Prague in the Champions league, then he had a loan spell at Birmingham
before officially being part of Arsenal's first team. Since Bendtner was in the first team, he has
had [...
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed that midfielder Abou Diaby is again injured and will be out
for at least ten days. Speaking to Arsenal Player as well as in his pre-Wigan press conference, the
Frenchman explained ...
Arsene Wenger still thinks that Arsenal are way behind Man City in the title race right now, but
there is still a long season ahead and the Gunners simply have to keep winning to put themselves
back in the title race. Wigan may be bottom of the League, but Wenger knows that Arsenal have not
[...]
Arsenal eased past Wigan Athletic as they get all three points and continue their unbeaten run, in
the English Premier League. In a way, we expected it to be easy considering the position in the
table ...
Arsenal had a fantastic 4-0 win at Wigan yesterday (where we have dropped crucial points in the
last two seasons) and thanks to Chelsea's win at St. James Park, Arsenal have leapfrogged Newcastle
into fifth place in the League. Chelsea are now two points ahead of the Gunners in the coveted
fouth spot with Tottenham [.
The back pages of the newspapers write about it, every football website worth its salt writes about
it and every Arsenal fan knows about it. Arsene Wenger is looking at the two players who can make
the difference with this Arsenal side – Mario Gotze and Eden Hazard. Some Arsenal fans think that
both of [.
When Arsenal brought Chelsea down 5-3 at Stamford Bridge, it was with a rather maniacal chuckle
that Alan Hansen talked about van Persie. The same man who spoke of Walcott's lack of a
"footballing brain" was finally going to get on Arsenal's back. "Arsenal almost looking like a
one-man team!" he commented rather casually.
Just three weeks to go until the winter transfer window opens, and the press is full of Arsenal
transfer news today as it probably will be every day from now on! Arsene Wenger has said that he is
not looking for a new striker but most fans think that that is his usual smokescreen.... So [...]
Standing at 1.92 m tall and a good aerial ability, Johan Djourou's evident talent was spotted by
Arsene Wenger and thus Arsene brought him to Arsenal's youth team in the summer of 2003. Gradually,
Djourou was given chances slowly by Wenger as he featured in Carling cup matches and finally made
his full premier league [.
Thank heavens for Wojciech Szczesny.
Well, that was pleasant, wasn't it? A team full of reserves and youngsters faced off against a
determined, full-strength Olympiakos side determined to get the win, in any way possible. With a
ravenous home crowd egging them on, this game turned out to be a bit of an ugly affair, with studs
flying at different times and resulting in some nasty tackles and unsightly scenes.
To allow Cesc Fabregas to return to Barcelona was probably one of the toughest decisions Wenger had
to make in his Arsenal managerial career. Cesc was the main conductor of the Arsenal orchestra, the
skipper of the team and the inspiration of the players. Many factors had to be considered before
letting Cesc leave the [.
Olympiakos 3 (Djebbour 16, Fuster 36, Modesto 89) Arsenal 1 (Benayoun 57)
(Champions League Group Stage)
It seems the knives are out again. Described as Euro flops in some quarters, and a laughing
stock in others, it seems many of the press are finally able to pull the trigger on the negative
stories they've been unable to run over the past month, thanks to our improved form.
A horror show from Arsenal goalkeepers Vito Mannone and Łukasz Fabiański condemned Arsenal to a
3-1 defeat to Olympiakos and proved once again that Arsene Wenger must sort out the team's
goalkeeping problems. Unbelievably bad, pitiful and far from reliable. How else can one describe
the current crop of Arsenal goalkeepers currently vying for Wojciech [.
The 3-1 humbling to Olympiakos is Greece in the last group match of the Champions League was a
match full of frustration for some Arsenal players. It shows that they may have to leave during the
January winter transfer window in 2012 as they just don't look like they are interested in playing
well for [.
Arsenal have unveiled statues of Herbert Chapman, Tony Adams and Thierry Henry to mark the
club's 125th anniversary this weekend.
The official unveiling of the statues outside the Emirates Stadium as part of the club's
celebrations took place this afternoon.
Chapman, who led the club to their first league titles in 1931 and 1933, Adams, who captained
Arsenal to five league titles across three decades, and Henry, the club's record goalscorer with
226, were the men honoured.
With 26 points after 14 tough Premier League matches in the 2011-2012 season, Arsenal are now fifth
in the premier league, 12 points off the pace from league leaders Manchester City. At this stage of
the season, where are Arsenal looking to finish this season. Of course, everyone that watches
football feel that Arsenal should [.
Who needs Batman when we've got Robin! The Flying Dutchman once again scores the winning goal for
Arsenal, and it was a very very special one today. Arsene Wenger was of course all smiles after the
game and just had to sign Robin's praises for the umpteenth time this season. He said: "You [the
media] [.
It is being reported today that the Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is preparing to try and tempt
Arsenal's Robin Van Persie to move to La Liga rather than make a big money move to Arsenal's
Premiership rivals Manchester City. The Mirror says that Mourinho is close to breaking Barcelona's
stranglehold on the Spanish domestic [.
The current injury list of Arsenal consist mainly of our full backs. Sagna, Jenkinson, Gibbs and
now our newly purchased Brazilian left back Andre Santos, all are out with rather severe injuries.
Out of desperation, Arsenal are now deploying their centre halves to play at the defensive half of
the flanks, Vermaelen at left back [.
Arsene Wenger is considering taking Arsenal on a tour Nigeria next summer, it has been claimed this
morning. Nigerian TV pundit Colin Udoh has used his Twitter account to break the enws that an
Arsenal delegation will meet senior figure from the Nigerian Football Federation to discuss the
possibility of the Gunners making the trip to Africa at the end of the season.
