My Vision

I understand if Bendtner wants out, Djourou & Miyaichi

I am a sucker for pace and skill so I certainly will be keeping my eye open for his performances. He is a good looking chap as well so I am sure he will be a big thing in Japan if he continues to progress. With the reported interest in Eden Hazard from Arsene and the signing of Wellington now on loan at Levante who is struggling to get pitch time. You have to wonder where all these wide players are going to fit in, but as always I am somewhat jumping the gun and thinking too far ahead for no good

Squad priorities, Djourou & The talent of Wilshere

The Squillaci and Koscielny partnership statistically makes for uncomfortable reading and I do not think it is coincidence that they have shipped far more goals than any other combination. That is not to say that they cannot improve but I guess we could do without the teething problems until that time. Wolves at the Emirates shouldn't be a game to fear for our defenders if we approach the game in the

I assume Cahill or Samba had unchecked boxes & Transfer insanity

So what about Liverpool FC? Who have been in the shit for spending far too much money under Rafa Benitez. A good chance to save the cash for the summer, when more targets come available and the price comes down. A chance to invest well around the squad with at least four players young enoughg to improve and add real quality all over the pitch. Surely they have learnt from previous mismanagement and they can now restructure their transfer policy. No? Well it appears that only Arsenal fans are used to intelligent financial management, but this cannot be said for

We cannot forget Ramsey, Almunia return & Hill-Wood speaks up

A forgotten man, Manuel Almunia has recovered from his erm 'injury' and could take his place in goal. That will be his first game since the horror show against West Brom all those months ago. The rumours that have been doing the rounds are that he does not want to sit on the bench as second choice which isn't really the stance I thought someone like Almunia would take. Obviously I am dealing with just a rumour here but it does seem to add up. I do not believe that he has had an

Rant against McLeish, Foul play, Keys, refereeing decisions and more

This all comes from one man. I am sure it is no coincidence that we face so much foul play when we come up against them. I look at Alex McLeish and I see a disgusting violent man who wants his team to hurt these foreigners at Arsenal. I see a man who takes his team to Old Trafford and pulls out the KY Jelly and hands it out to his team. Not a stud in sight.

Is Cahill worth the money? & Nasri and Sagna quality

Plenty of talk about the center backs are still in the air but I have a feeling that we may avoid buying anyone. Squillaci is a week away from a return whilst Vermaelen now has a date of return, this is not to say that set backs are not going to happen but with that in mind, I wonder if Arsene will carry on with what he has and possibly Alex Song stepping back in one of the upcoming games. Wenger may be thinking that Djourou and Koscielny will get the chance to rest in the next few weeks with Squillaci

Defender now a must, Clichy’s improvement & Wenger’s rotation dilemma

Gooners have been wondering if our target will be a stop gap or a first choicer. The usual names have been bandied about. Upson, Cahill etc etc. In my opinion I believe that Arsene already has in mind what his ideal partnership will be and I think that Laurent Koscielny is a long term project for Arsene. His style is important to the way we play and given the amount of games he has played, especially important matches, I do not see Arsene buying a player who will come in over him for the longer term

Backward fans, Reserves & Wenger award

I really take my hat off to Lukasz Fabianski this season. I think silence from Arsenal supporters is perhaps massive praise in itself. The January transfer window is here, Almunia is set to depart the club yet hardly a whisper of a new goalkeeper is in sight. It is a testament to how much he has improved as a keeper. Perhaps he hasn't actually improved at all, maybe he has found himself a run of games to iron out those flaws and build confidence. It is the reason why Wenger has stood by him and why Wenger has always believed in him.
