Summer 2012 needs to see a change in direction in Arsenal's transfer policy. Out must go this incessant desire to collect 15-16 year olds from around the world and expect and hope that they will develop.

Arsenal have many youngsters in the reserves or on loan for whom the time is ripe for them to be given their chance.

Arsenal will be spluttering. Chelsea will be in disbelief. Real Madrid will be shocked.

Young Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard announced his intention to join the renaissance at Spurs under Harry Redknapp and, in my opinion, there's no place better for him.

He told Belgium TV station RTBF: "I will go to England to play my football.

Arsenal has suffered some terrible bad luck with defensive injuries this season. We lost Sagna, Gibbs and Jenkinson all with a 17 days in October, but the loss that has hurt us most was the loss of Santos in December. Santos was an attacking full-back and gave us extra attacking options something that has been lacking in recent weeks.

It is remarkably quiet considering we're heading into the final two games of this league season. Maybe it's not that remarkable though, maybe there's just a sense that this campaign is one most people would pretty much like to see the back of ... once we secure third place.

We'll watch tonight's games with some interest.

As you will know, this is a blog about Arsenal. Hence the name.

Obviously I have a keen interest in all things Arsenal. I want the the club to do well, to win things, to compete and to sign good players. When we sign those players, I will welcome them (unless they're one of these signings in which case I'll hedge my bets and make a 'this tastes yukky' face whilst suggesting we should wait and see how they do), and players we don't sign don't interest me in the slightest.
