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?
It looks all but confirmed by the Arsenal website. We are always sceptical because of that fact but
the likes of Bild (reliable German newspaper), Times (reliable English newspaper), Sky Sports
(decently reliable), BBC Sports (reliable) have all confirmed such a signing and you must think
‘Surely it's true'.
The Bolton manager Owen Coyle did a great job with Jack Wilshere when he spent six months on loan
the season before last, and if anything he is even more excited about this seasons Arsenal loanee
Ryo Miyaichi. The skinny Japanese winger won Bolton's Player-of-the-Month trophy after just three
games, and Coyle thinks that Miyaichi [.
Lewis Holtby: Transfer Analysis by SV A few days ago, the JustArsenal reader KidKnockout requested
more information on a young player who has reportedly signed a pre-season contract with Arsenal:
Lewis Holtby. I have seen the name crop up several times before on JustArsenal but, to be honest,
never really looked into him very deeply.
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

Arsene Wenger has constantly admitted that he just needed a "short-term" solution to Arsenal's
defensive injury problems, and he has now made it clear that he will be taking someone on until the
end of the season. Wenger said: "I do not want to go for a permanent solution because we have to
pay all [.
No Sell No Buy (By S.H) With 11 days left in the Winter transfer season, Arsenal still haven't
signed anyone. Arsene Wenger, as we know, is verbally parsimonious and enigmatic about recruitment.
You'd never beat him in a board game of "Guess Who." There are a plethora of Arsenal transfer
rumours, linking a myriad of [.
Arsene Wenger has been following the rise of Eden Hazard ever since he was a teenager at the Lille
Academy in 2005, and it has always been assumed that Wenger would bring him to Arsenal as soon as
he could. But now Hazard is 21 years-old and one of the most sought-after players in Europe, [...]
Olivier Giroud: A man Arsenal should not miss out on by Richard Hall Montpellier hit man Oliver
Giroud has been is superb form so far this term. After making no secret of his admiration for
Arsenal it seems that all the pieces are in place for a summer move. He is a man whose signature
[...]
Due to the request of @rubbehm yesterday, this article will give my opinion on the possible
acquisition of one Younès Belhanda. I have seen Belhanda's name crop up several times on the
blogosphere; while he is clearly not as favoured as, say, Götze, it is clear that he is rated
pretty highly by most who [.
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger snubbed the possibility of losing Robin Van Persie in the summer,
saying that regardless of the decision the skipper makes he's still going to stay for the whole
duration of his contract. The good thing is that Wenger is trying to keep hold of his biggest and
most valuable player, [.
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.
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 [.
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 [.
Arsene Wenger has been talking about the latest Arsenal transfer rumours saying that Andrei
Arshavin will be allowed to leave the Emirates this month, and he believes that the Russian still
has a job to do for the Gunners despite a series of lacklustre performances. Wenger says that,
although Arshavin seems to be lazy on [.
This January's Arsenal transfer news was relatively quiet at the Emirates Stadium, with Thierry
Henry returning to the club on loan from New York Red Bulls and German teenager Thomas Eisfeld
arriving from Borussia Dortmund for a modest fee.
However, activity has not always been this sedate at Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger making some
surprising and at times, blockbuster signings in January.

The young Japanese star Ryo Miyaichi is enjoying his loan period at Bolton, and after being denied
a goal on his 45 minute debut last week, the Arsenal loanee promised that he would score in the
next game he played. The 18 year-old kept his promise with a brilliant individual effort for Bolton
early on [.
Arsenal's captain Robin Van Persie couldn't help but make fun of arch rivals Tottenham in an
interview he gave recently just after the incredible win the Gunners managed against Tottenham.
"What's funny is that people are discussing the best Tottenham team ever and the worst Arsenal
team. And we just beat Tottenham.
Player Analysis: Lukas Podolski by SV Due to the big name departures of the summer, there have
obviously been numerous transfer rumours surrounding Arsenal over this past season. Over the
January period, we were linked with everyone from Higuain to Zamora, from Gotze to Sessegnon and
from Vertonghen to Agger.
It seems that Arsene Wenger is carrying on his policy of buying young English stars to build a
future team with a British backbone, as it has been revealed that Arsenal have secured the
signature of the Luton Town winger Tarum Dawkins. The 16 year-old had been having trials with both
Chelsea and Arsenal and [.
It is being widely reported that arsenal have settled a deal with Koln to sign their prolific
striker Lukas Podolski, and even the BBC and the Guardian have reported it so I am very inclined to
think it is true. At 10.9 million Pounds it certainly looks like Arsene Wenger could have got
himself yet [.
Why getting Eden should be avoided, he's a Hazard by KJ My last post involved all the candidates
Javier Perez has touted to be at Arsenal next season provided they can pass negotiations. However,
I did see some of the readership was a bit discontent with the idea that there was no mention of
Hazard. [.
The Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp spoke about the next transfer window, and according to the one
who is rumoured as Capello's follower, Arsenal are going to bring in a few star players in the
summer. Redknapp seems to think that the Gunners have already made plans to bring in a few big
players, and that's [.
No Mario Goetze for Arsenal by KJ A quick disclaimer: Admin made my last headline to read that
"Mikel Arteta was better than Fabregas." I was only referring to his passing stats and I would like
to stress that I appreciate that they are different players and Arteta was never going to be the
Fabregas [.
Gotze News by SV I shall begin today's post by reiterating some bad news, in case any of you
Gooners have not heard. Arsenal's chances of signing their number one target, Mario Götze, have
been effectively reduced to zero. The German international signed a contract extension with
Borussia Dortmund which commits him to the club [.
Do Arsenal need a new back-up Goalkeeper? by KJ This summer has been hailed as the defining moment
in Arsenal's modern history as far as transfers are concerned. There has been a multitude of
rumours concerning the ‘big' signings Arsenal are going to make to bridge the gap between being a
top 4 team and [.
There is no need to report on the Lukas Podolski to Arsenal rumours as everyone seems convinced
that the Podolski transfer to Arsenal is already signed, sealed and delivered. Arsenal still seem
to be linked with a few other strikers, and with Chamakh and Vela expected to be offloaded this
summer another backup in the [.
The Mexican international striker Carlos Vela has had nothing but problems since joining Arsenal in
2005 aged 16. He had to be loaned out to various Spanish clubs until he finally received a work
permit in 2008. Vela then enjoyed his best season for the Gunners, playing 29 times and scoring six
goals in all [.
Arsene Wenger's chase for a top striker for the Arsenal team continues as the Gunners are now faced
with another closed door after Fulham's manager Martin Jol dismissed the possibility of star
striker Clint Dempsey to leave, despite him so far refusing to sign a new contract. The American
hitman has scored 23 goals this [.
There is a very interesting article today that has an interview with Robin Van Persie's Mum and his
wife Bouchra, and they are both VERY keen that the Dutchman should stay at Arsenal for the rest of
his career. Robin's mum was especially effusive in her praise of Arsenal and the way the fans and
[...
After the last match of the season against WBA, won by Arsenal with a 3-2 scoreline, manager Arsene
Wenger spoke about the situation with RVP's expiring contract. Van Persie has snubbed all contract
negotiations until the season finished, so now it's time for him to face reality and make a choice.
Following the game, Wenger [.
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 [...]
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 [.
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 [...]
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 [.
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 [.
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 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 [.
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 [.
