Ramsey, Podolski, Walcott or Chamberlain? What Is Arsene’s Future Wide Plans?

Both Theo and Gervinho were very important to van Persie's excellent scoring record and although Gervinho's and Walcott's goal return was not yet as great as we would have liked, the general consensus was that it would improve in time. Theo Walcott for one is a player who I expect to score regularly and we are slowly seeing that now. Gervinho has been very wasteful at times but has managed to get into scoring positions, the hope is that in time he would develop the much needed

Your Vision – Starters Vs Subs Vs Sold

So lets get on with the comparison then, we all know  our starters well : Szczęsny, Santos, Vermaelin, Kos, Sagna, Song, Arteta, Wilshere, Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.A very good team no doubt, maybe I would change Gerviho for the Ox just because I really don't feel he's a top player. He's direct and has pace but he just lacks composure if Arsenal only get one chance in a very tight importan

Good news at last + Gervinho seals deal

While the obvious questions still remain, i.e. will Nasri walk away on a free and shouldn't we just sell now? I just cannot bring myself to think that far ahead now. This coming season is very important to our club, given the insane amount of pressure fuelled by the media and subsequently the Arsenal fan base. It is vitally important that we improve from last season and hopefully win trophies and to do that

How I took Wenger’s comments & The transfer movement begins

Who those clubs are and in which country/league remains to be seen. Many players vanish off the footballing radar when they leave the Arsenal, I am not sure if that will be the case this time with Nicklas Bendtner. I suspect that he will have a good career and this potential move will be very good for him and probably good for Arsenal given the system and style of play we have. Manuel Almunia is the type of former player that could well disappear from our ear shot if he finds a club abroad, which I

Your Vision – Fact or Fiction, Ins and Outs

Story number 3 Clichy to leave, last year of his contract, hasn't signed a new deal and no updates on progress of negotiations. This one might have legs, Clichy is Arsenal's longest serving player and so clearly has some loyalty to the club. The story goes Clichy wants Arsenal to sign big name(again) players before he signs a new deal but hang on a second has Clichy even been offered a new deal? no one at Arsenal or Clichy himself said anything about talks over a new deal.Clichy has according to all sides regressed over the last 3 years, just when he was starting to fulfil his potential he turned around

Everton (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Performance must improve to avoid sticky Toffee’s

The Russian has some big shoes to fill but if he can find his best form then he is fully capable of stepping up to the plate and producing the goods. Nasri was very important to the team because of his link up with Cesc and Van Persie, so it will be interesting to see how Arshavin plays with his creative

West Brom (a) – Thoughts & Predicted Line Up: Rotation, Youthful Defenders & Away Form

Wigan (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Continue with the work and the points should follow

The Dutchman is getting his groove back, he is finding his swagger at the right time. With practically his first touch of the ball at Elland road, he rose to score our third goal of the game. I believe that he will be pivotal to our attacking play this afternoon and hopefully his run of scoring goals will continue

Leeds United (a) Post Match Thoughts: Glowing Nasri takes the Leeds as squad sharpen up

Alex Song was masterful until he tired out late in the second half. The 'visible' wall has now turned into a graceful, skilful, brick wall. I love the way he positions himself in front of the opposition midfielder and they just run straight into him, bounce off his solid frame then the blonde haired Cameroonian shuffles his way past a couple of challenges and then finds an advanced team mate who knew that sequence was about to unfold 10 seconds prior to the pass. Gordon Strachan called him the best defensive midfielder in the league, so do I.

Everton (a) – Ignore The Bigger Picture, Just Enjoy The 90 Minutes

Manchester City (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Patience and team work could be key tonight

I imagine that Koscielny will be detailed to stop Tevez once in possession, leaving Johan Djourou as the spare man. It should be a good battle as both players are very tenacious and give everything they have. If Koscielny can handle Tevez then Manchester City's attacking threat will be greatly reduced
