Thoughts On Henry, Podolski and Squad Restrictions

Now should the argument be about having Thierry Henry or player x then that is a different story altogether. Having Thierry Henry for two months and only Henry means that once the two months is over we could be back to having a striker who hasn't played a minute of Premier League football and a striker who has been out of form for a while now. Ideally we would have player x who can play wide and central, score goals, adapt from the off and who is young enough to improve without costing £50m. That along with Henry means that we

Wolves (h) – Gunners Revert To Last Season And Drop Points

van Persie snatched at a Gervinho pass and struck his shot wide when he had time to steady himself. As has been the case in the last few weeks, Robin van Persie was not at his best, his touch looks off, his quality in the final third has diminished. In the second half he had some great chances to pull down chipped passes that would have left him with the keeper to beat but he could not kill the ball in his

Wolves (h) Thoughts & Line Up: Records Should Not Obstruct Three Points

As I was saying in a recent blog I would love to see Rosicky and Benayoun linking up together with Robin van Persie, three players who could potentially be on the same wavelength and could play some nice football together. Whichever team take the field this afternoon only a victory will be satisfactory, anything less will be a big disappointment and waste of a very good situation.

Arsenal Vision Wishes You A Merry Christmas

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and if you do not celebrate Crimbo then just have a splendid day. I feel like a zombie today after a stupidly late night mixed in with kids who thought it was a good idea to try and wake up at 4am. If anyone found a Thierry Henry, van Persie new contract, Eden Hazard or Mario Gotze in their stockings then please let me know. Would love to break the story first. If not

Henry Signing Makes Sense, Yossi Proves Me Wrong & Possession vs Direct

However there is an argument for needing a longer term solution on top of the loan signing of Thierry Henry but I cannot help but think that a choice like that would be linked to the players we already have in our squad. It hasn't really been the Arsenal way to replace players before players in the same position have departed. Much of that could well be down to the new squad rules but equally it could

Gourcuff, Changes & Left backs

Continuing with the subject of change, the transfer window is not very far away and we already expect a temporary fix to the left back spot but according to RMC radio in France, Arsenal and Lyon have made contact about bringing Yoann Gourcuff to Arsenal. Arsene n the meantime we are short of left backs, Gibbs now has to have an operation and continues to be dominated by terrible luck while Santos is no closer to a return so Arsene has hinted that he may have to bring in someone on loan. The media's football knowledge isn't

Why Arshavin & Arsenal Should Go Separate Ways / What Mould Of Forward?

This newly constructed Arsenal team need wide players with stamina and athleticism. Andrey Arshavin cannot run up and down the flank for 90 minutes every three days. Since he joined in 2008, he was able to get away with misplacing passes and shooting straight at the keeper instead of finding the corners because he was still nudging through diagonal slide rule passes to runners and setting up goals. To be honest, Andrey Arshavin
