Robin van Persie has agreed with Arsenal to keep his own counsel over his future. There has been
lots of speculation as to whether or not he will stay at the Emirates and if not, where he would be
going. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus have all been
heavily linked with [.
Another Oxlade-Chamberlain Type of Signing? - By JG Nick Powell, an 18 year old English talent who
has climbed through the youth ranks of Crewe Alexandra and into their first team is heavily linked
with Arsenal. Not only has Powell been important in Crewe's ascendance to League 1, but he is/has
been a key player [.
It is being reported yet again that Manchester City are keen on signing Arsenal super striker Robin
Van Persie, and are more than prepared to refocus their tentacles on the Emirates Stadium once
again this season should the player continue to stall on signing a new deal, says the Daily Mail.
It is believed that [.
Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen will be lining up for Belgium when they take on England at Wembley this
evening in their last warm-up game before the Euros, and he is expecting a good showing from his
talented countryman Eden Hazard. "I think he is a great player," Vermaelen said. "Technically he is
one of the best [.
The Germans have come a-calling for an Arsenal hotshot and it happens to be one supremely
self-confident striker. Nicklas Bendtner is the man in question and he could be headed to the
German Bundesliga as he seeks a new home away from the Emirates. The Danish International isn't in
Arsene Wenger's plans for the future [.
Scouting For Arsenal: Goalkeeper – By JG With Almunia, Fabianski and Mannone all forcing
themselves out of Arsenal, the signing of back-up goalkeeper has become an issue of dire
importance. Arsenal scouts have been reported to have been watching young English starlet Jack
Butland and a Norwegian shot stopper by the name of Kenneth Udjus.
Arsenal are reportedly very keen to sign the top French striker Olivier Giroud, but the 25 year-old
has now announced that he will only decide his future after Euro 2012. Giroud currently plays for
the French Champions Montpellier and has an excellent total of 86 appearances and 39 goals for the
French team.
The Difference a Trophy Makes by Richard B. I've become accustomed over the past few years to
hearing the debate between fans over whether it should be the league or cup competitions that are
Arsenal's main priority. The fact that it is an admission that we don't have the strength in depth
to compete in [.
Don't Rule Out Lucas Biglia – By JG I know some fans are practically slitting their wrists to see
Arsenal sign Yann M'Vila but come on, he's not the only player that would help strengthen the
midfield. Yes, M'Vila is a great player we know this, but he is not the only option. One player

The high horse of statistics, context and hindsight by Richard B. Whenever I hear statistics being
thrown around, not just about football but life in general, I am amazed at how little emphasis is
put on the context of the information. Although it is not football related, some of my favourite
statistics are those you [.
Arsenal 2012-2013 by Lorenzo Enough is enough. This site is descending into acute madness, not
aided by bizarre articles from "guest writers" who seem intent on recounting their life stories in
essay-like articles. Tensions are building among supporters daily, as we witness other rival clubs
around us strengthening their squads with extravagant purchases, but [.
The Swiss defender Johann Djourou is never going to get a game at Arsenal while Mertesacker,
Vermaelen and Koscielny are fit and he is now worried that this could affect his international
career with Switzerland. The 25 year-old has been with Arsenal for many years and even had his
contract extended earlier this season, but [.
I was in email conversation with a nice chap called Chris the other day, and he said something
which got me thinking:
Lord only knows what people did in the pre-Internet days when Georgie Graham preferred to only
spend money on Eddie McGoldrick and 14 centre-backs.
Although there were always rumours and chatter about certain players it was very much restricted
in comparison to what we have today.
Transfer Delays and Greed – By JG Maybe Arsenal fans want or don't care if they have to suffer
another "Nasri" situation again; because some really don't seem to mind very much whether the
player who is brought in has integrity, respect and admires the tradition and style of Arsenal FC.
I'm not sure about [.
What is value for money? by Richard B. As much as I like weekends, especially when the weather
promotes the use of a BBQ and a cool box in the garden, it does come with an overarching pain in
the backside called money. Monday through Friday is normally an exercise in routine and monotony; I
[...]
What is going on? Footballers showing loyalty to their clubs were thought to be a thing of the
past! First RVP is told to repay Arsenal's faith and reject any big money offers for him. Today,
Talksport reports that the reported Arsenal target Mathieu Valbuena has abandoned any plans he had
to join Arsene Wenger [.
The Arsenal legend Martin Keown thinks that the rollercoaster season just gone will have been a
great learning experience for the young Arsenal team, and will help them next year. But he admits
that the Gunners missed the experience of Mikel Arteta during the crucial run-in but Keown is
impressed that they learnt how to [.
There is still no word about the negotiations between Arsenal and Robin Van Persie, but the reports
are saying that he wants Arsene Wenger to prove that Arsenal can compete for trophies next season.
Funnily enough, this is not the first time that Robin has been offered a contract extension, and
neither is it the [.
There are conflicting stories coming out of today's Sunday papers. As posted earlier The Mirror has
reported that they have spoken to a "source" at the Emirates that said: "Arsenal know it's not
about money. Even if they offered Van Persie what City can pay it would make no difference if he
doesn't believe the [.
It is hardly a surprise that Arsenal's enforced wall of silence surrounding the talks with Robin
Van Persie had to be broken sometime, and today it is revealed that the Dutchman wasn't even
interested in listening to any offer Arsenal had to make. The Daily Mirror has finally convinced
(how much was he paid?
Fulham's outstanding player and top scorer, 29-year old Clint Dempsey, is nit the sort of player
normally associated with Arsenal, but I think he could add something to the Gunners strike force.
His tough, combative style, versatility and proven goalscoring in the Premier league could provide
Arsene Wenger with an alternative when the passing game [.
There are quite a few Arsenal rumours building up in the media at the moment, but there seems to be
very little about M'Vila which is one player I think Wenger WILL buy! But there are a few other
possibilities if Arsenal really want to improve the team next season. First up is some weird [...]
The young Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is begging Robin van Persie to stay, not just
because of his play but because he organizes all the social events in the Arsenal calendar!
Oxade-Chamberlain voiced all his good words for his captain van Persie in an interview in The Sun
yesterday. He is certain that it will [.
The Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen is getting frustrated that Tottenham have failed to agree a price
with his club so that he can move to White Hart Lane, but he has also admitted that Arsene Wenger
wants him at Arsenal but he won't move to the Emirates until Tottenham give up on negotiations with
Ajax.
Finding the Missing Pieces by Richard B. For a fan of any Premier League team this is probably the
most awkward period of the year, but especially for Arsenalfans! The season has ended and everyone
and his dog have had their say on our performances. Whilst some are more critical than others, the
general consensus [.
Now there are many reports about this morning that Arsenal are the "Fourth Team" in the running to
sign Eden Hazard, but we ALL know that there is NO WAY that Arsenal can or will match the wages or
transfer fees on offer from Chelsea, Man City and Man United. And the reason is quite [...]
Everyone loves a new signing, right? That's what this summer, and every summer, is all about.
Waiting, watching, speculating and hoping, until that magic moment arrives when the announcement is
made on the official site:
Arsenal are delighted to announce the signing of Rupert P Winkletosser on a long term
contract for an undisclosed fee .
Arsenal's loaned-out player Joel Campbell has had it with time away from his "mother club" and
wishes to leave the French Ligue 1 for good this summer and have a chance to show his worth at
Arsenal. The Costa Rican international didn't play a single match for the Gunners after being
brought in last summer.
Arsenal need to make room for new blood- and it's looking good by BA Reports today suggest that
Arsene Wenger might get his wish and offload a number of players in order to bring in new talent.
It is thought that Robin van Persie will stay a Gunner if the club can show him that [...]
With the news coming out of Arsenal that Manuel Almunia's has been released at the end of his
contract, and also Fabianski has made it clear that he also wants to leave, it seems that the
Gunners are now clearly in the market for a suitable backup for Wojciech Szczesny next season. Now
it has [...]
The curious case of Manuel Almunia by Richard B. Strength in depth is always something that
provides a bit of a conundrum for managers. Every manager has a first choice team, a set of players
that, barring injury, fatigue or suspension, are his automatic selection. Contrary to what some
believe, I don't think that every [.

The Arsenal legend Martin Keown believes that Robin Van Persie is going to find it difficult to
decide whether he takes one last chance to earn untold riches (and possibly trophies) if he moves
away from the Emirates, or to stay at the club that he loves and is highly respected by fans and
players [.
It is being reported today that the Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun has been told he is no longer
wanted at Stamford Bridge, and Arsene Wenger now has until the end of the week to decide whether to
take the Israeli international to Arsenal on a permanent basis. Benayoun took a little time to
regain his [.
Morning all.
Moving swiftly on from this weekend and we're now faced with that thing that football fans hate
more than anything else in the world – having to have a bit of patience. With Euro 2012 on the
horizon we may find that the business we need to do isn't done as quickly as we would like.
Who The F#@k Is Chamberlain? by MA I remember like it was yesterday when newspapers were claiming
that Arsene Wenger has just signed a new winger for the club in the persona of 17-year-old Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton. The signature was coming after Wenger secured the services of
Gervinho, another winger, and amid rumours about [.
The Dutch Football Association has announced "We made a deal with Arsenal and he (Van Persie) won't
talk to the press." Arsene Wenger met the Dutchman on Wednesday for informal talks about his future
career before leaving England to begin preparation for this summer's tournament. Arsenal have
admitted that they have no real say in [.
The ex-Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira, who went over to the dark side and now helps Man City to
poach the Gunners best players, thinks that Arsene Wenger has left it too late to nail Robin Van
Persie down to a new contract and if he doesn't persuade the Dutchman to re-sign it will start a
[...]
The new Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski seems to be really excited about coming to the Emirates next
season and can't stop telling the media how much he is looking forward to it. He also revealed that
he has been watching a lot of Arsenal games on TV this season and he names the players that [...]
There have been ominous reports coming out of the crucial meeting between Arsene Wenger and Robin
Van Persie yesterday, and it seems that the Dutchman is refusing to extend his contract unless
Arsenal show that they will really challenge for the top trophies next season. Arsenal have already
secured Lukas Podolski, but the usually well-informed [.
