By Eros I promised my self I would not get involved with any transfer speculation over the summer and I did pretty well up to now. The Euros kept me entertained for the last few weeks but the Adebayor rumours forced my hand. I was incensed both with Galliany for shamelessly trying to unsettle a player that stated on a number of occasions that he is happy where he is and also Adebayor and his Click to continue reading...

By Aries Ben Arfa who has interested Arsene Wenger before may have now played a major part in Samir Nasri's deal with Arsenal finally going through. This is because Marseille, his new club, could not raise the cash to pay the transfer fee to Lyon unless they sold Nasri to Arsenal. The deal for Nasri had been delayed however until the player and his agent agreed personal terms with Arsenal. Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner This is indeed a typical Arsene Wenger signing. Bischoff is only 21, has never played a single Bundesliga game in the Werden Bremen first team since his three years there and therefore no one has really ever heard of him. His only professional deployment was against Celta Vigo in the Uefa Cup quarter-final 2006/07. Click to continue reading...

By Aries You would have surely heard the news and seen the video, first reported on this site, that Eduardo's recovery in Brazil has been coming along expertly. If you haven't you can watch the video of Eduardo in physiotherapy kicking a ball on the right hand side of this page. Arsenal coach and one of Wenger's close confidants on Arsenal's staff, Boro Primorac (who is from Herzegovina) has Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner Arsene Wenger obviously knew what was coming when right after the last gasps of the League season he warned that his first priority in the transfer market would be to try and keep this team together. For, when your club's strategy is to rely mainly on youth and to "make the stars rather than buy them", it is crucial that time through proper training and on the job experience Click to continue reading...

By Aries It had gone a bit quiet recently with regard to the Hleb transfer. There were three teams interested in his signature but the one that Hleb was really interested in, Inter Milan had a change of manager and a change of heart. Then in stepped Barcelona and Bayern but it is the first one that is now claiming that Hleb will sign on the dotted line, with the blessing of his club Arsenal Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner Adebayor has got some cheek really. He has hardly established himself at Arsenal after one full season as a main striker and now he is demanding a staggering £120,000 per week to stay! "I have asked Arsenal to look at it and see what they want. "I have a promise from the manager Arsene Wenger that they will call me next week. Click to continue reading...

By Aries Arsene was commentating for TV when he saw Cesc Fabregas step up to take the last and decisive penalty for his country. He admitted later that he prayed for the young maestro who sent Casillas the wrong way to earn Spain a place in the Semi Finals. "It was a great responsibility, especially as he is not a specialist in this area. Click to continue reading...

By Aries While the saga of Adebayor's apparent exodus from the Emirates is continuing, Arsene Wenger like all good managers, is keeping his eyes and options open for a possible replacement. He has been linked to Spain's top scorer Daniel Guiza before but this time the link seems to have been confirmed by Guiza's agent Felix Moneo. Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner I have eulogized about Andrei Arshavin before. I consider him as the most appropriate player to be bought by Arsenal this season. He is a typical Wenger player. He is very very quick, athletic and most of all possesses high technique and ball skills. More over he plays with his brain. Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner Carlos Vela is about to start his well earned holidays at his native Cancun, a well known holiday resort in Mexico, before he joins up at last with his new team mates at London Colney for pre season training. He had a very tough last loan season with Osasuna in the Spanish League where relegation from the first division was avoided only in the last day of games. Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner It started sounding like one of those rumours that at first you disregard but later when you read that Barcelona's hierarchy had flown to London to speak to Arsenal you begin to take it seriously. Why would Arsenal after all accept to see them if Arsene would have none of it? "I would give them the answer they deserve" he said a few days ago. Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner Arsene Wenger finished off last season promising new signings. 'I know what I want and I am very confident,' he said. 'I hope to turn that around in the next two or three weeks. The fans should be re-assured by what they see.' He identified as one of the main areas that Arsenal needed strengthening as that of central defence pinpointing as a major weakness the inability to Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner It is reported that Wenger and Ferguson are about to go head to head again over the signature of another wonder kid. This time they have to go as far as sunny Cyprus where Demetris Christofi plays his football.
