Left Back On The Bench, Rosicky To Sign & Squad Pruning Begins

Andre Santos is back in training with the group again which is tremendous news, we certainly missed something going forward when his services were taken from us. He is one of the most entertaining fullbacks that I have seen, especially at Arsenal. What made it even worse was that he was starting to get into his stride, his fitness was improving, he was getting stronger defensively and started to have a good understanding with his team mates. I want to see him take another big

Have The BBC Let A Podolski Sized Cat Out Of The Bag? / Why RVP Will Stay

With that, I will leave you to share around your Podolski fixes Basically what I am trying to say is that I believe that Darren Dein has told Mancini or someone at Manchester City that Robin van Persie would like to stay at Arsenal and that he will The game against Tottenham was a perfect example. at 0-2 down, the world was close to ending. I felt dizzy thinking about watching those lot celebrate in our stadium, having to read text messages from several Tottenham supporting friends of

Podolski Deal Done?.. In March? / Wenger In Trouble / Gyrating Bohemian

The Lukas Podolski rumours do not appear to be slowing down any time soon with our good old Per Mertesacker talking about his late night chats with Podolski. There might not be any mention of those chats being late night but it just sounds better. Mertesacker has been selling how good life is at Arsenal but I do not know about the context. Mertesacker and Podolski could be best of friends and Mertesacker could have been asked a loaded question. Either way, it is probably best if those types of answers were avoided

Attempting The Impossible Could Be Self Defeating / Liverpool Leave Bad Taste

Arsenal players go down holding body parts after 'tackles' I a not talking Eboue type of going down, I am talking about warriors like Bacary Sagna and Thomas Vermaelen who do not go down unless they are properly hurt. It is no surprise when you think about the manager they have in charge. A dinosaur who still plays 1980s football. One big man up front, two wingers. Get stuck in, get in their faces and hurt those fancy Dan Arsenal boys, they don't like it. Our players really need to sort that

Chelsea Shambles Shines Light on Wenger’s Work & Debunking Arsenal’s One Man Team Myth

The axe finally fell over the neck of Andre Villas-Boas, a young manager who got many tongues wagging due to his impressive record at Porto. Many were wishing that he would replace Arsene Wenger as the manager but it just goes to show that rebuilding a team and get instant results is not as simple as some like to make out, even when you have huge funds available to spend let alone if you have to

Diaby Returns For Arsenal – Will Arsene Stick Or Twist?

The Arsenal guy hasn't been able to achieve consistency because he finds himself continuously trying to build up to match fitness and also match sharpness. Without a run of games where you are totally free from injury, that is very difficult. The last stretch of games he had was a few season's ago when he played alongside Alex Song, I think it was Arsene's first adaptation of the 4-3-3. Previously it was just Alex Song sitting with two advanced midfielders but during that season Wenger asked Diaby to drop deeper alongside Song. During

Joel Campbell Multitasking Skills, Footballing Gods Listen & AOC’s End Product

Another Gooner was amongst the action last night one that hasn't made the Arsenal shirt just yet as he is on loan to improve his chances of obtaining a work permit. Costa Rican Joel Campbell scored for erm Costa Rica against Wales. A very tidy finish it was as well. I have only watched the odd highlights as well as the obvious YouTube compilation and one thing is obvious, he doesn't suffer from the Gervinho syndrome. In fact quite the opposite he looks like he could wash up

Lukas Podolski? We Have Bigger Fish To Fry & Van Persie Knock

The Lukas Podolski to Arsenal train has been picking up momentum in the last few hours since German outlet Bild if you can speak German then I guess that link would be quite useful. So what do I make of this then? Well you know when players say that they want to concentrate on playing and then have a look at the contract situation in the summer, well that is pretty much how I feel about this. Good player, would improve the squad but at this moment in time it is all pretty irrelevant. It is February, the season does not finish until May and the transfer

Cocky Spuds, Players Defend Wenger & van Persie Contract

My post Wenger concerns are not how the new manager will work with the players he has it is how he will continue to build squads in future. My concerns are not about how a new manager will motivate his players in a home game to lower opposition it is whether or not he will buy Stewart Downing over Francis Coquelin, Ryo Miyaichi and Oxlade-Chamberlain. So many players want to leave their clubs
