A big season also awaits, amongst others, Niklas Bendtner, after his loan spell at Birmingham City, he automatically slots into Aliadiere’s old role
Alot of people have written us off for the coming season, The other big clubs have spent alot of money. Infact they have spent absurd amounts of cash on players like Torres
Summers are known for two things in the football world- the scarcity of the sport that everyone loves to watch and the inevitable rumours of players leaving Arsenal. Who will it be this year, Vieira to Real? Pires to Inter? Henry to Barca? Ashley Cole to Chelsea?
'He'll never sign for Arsenal, he's English. Don't you know Wenger hates English players?" This is the response a friend of mine gave me when we discussed Arsenal
Waking up this Saturday morning, I am still wondering if this is all a bad dream, the transfer of Arsenal’s go(a)lden Boy, Thierry Henry. All in all it is a bit tough to swallow
The fee quoted was somewhere in the region of 16 million pounds. Yeah, let me repeat that for you... £16 Mil! Now I'm sure Shevchenko cost Chelsea almost double that amount and he is roughly the same age.
The whole Henry thing is sounding alot more unlike a 'rumour' as the days go on. We hear that Arsene Wenger is in Paris speaking to Barcelona about a possible sell of our club captain and record goal scorer. Sounds scary doesn't it?
A load of Thierry Henry news has been flying around in the last couple of days the one that read yesterday was a story that Henry had agreed terms with Barcelona and it was just down to Barca to strike a deal with Arsenal football club.
I think if we just keep some of the youngsters that would otherwise go on loan, then the African Nations shouldn’t be a problem, with an injury free squad. But remember Gilberto can also do a job at centre back too
When Thierry came out and said that he would have to wear a T-shirt saying that he is not going anywhere I was kinda hoping that would put an end to anymore speculation regarding Barcelona or any other bloody club to be honest.
