Mexican international Carlos Vela appears to moving back to Arsenal after his year-long loan spell at La Liga side Osasuna. He has 3 goals in 32 league appearances this season. The 19 year-old forward/winger scored his first goal against Real Betis this past October.

Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger stated his intention to bring Vela back via the club's official website.

You know how everyone says that Cesc Fabregas is the greatest thing since sliced bread? I never bought that - I always had him pegged as a flash-in-the-pan, over-hyped kid who couldn't cut it on the big stage. But then, step by step, game by game, Fabregas has converted me. And now I'm wondering if [.

By Aries Cesc's popularity has been growing in geometric proportions during the last 12 months. This has been due to his fantastic performances for Arsenal this season where at such a young age he showed that his command of such a crucial area of the pitch, the central midfield, has been world class.

Le Boss has never been the type to sign big names. Never has been, never will be.

Our guvnor is one stubborn Frenchman and I cannot for the life of me, see him ever changing the way that he add's to the squad.

He doesn't sign ready made shiny diamonds, he takes the rough ones and makes the rough diamonds shine.

I'll bet you $5 of Stan "The 'Stache" Kroenke's money that you are quite possibly familiar with the following phrase: Money talks, bullsh*t walks.

I think this may apply to the aforementioned Colorado Rapids owner and his dealings with Arsenal Football Club. Back in 2007 when there was all manner of chatter about a possible Kroenke takeover bid at Arsenal, it's chairman Peter Hill-Wood said he "did not want his sort" at the club.

El Arsenal FC londinense ha confirmado su deseo de traer a Carlos Vela al primer equipo para la próxima temporada, al aplicar por un permiso de trabajo para UK. El delantero de 19 años y seleccionado nacional, esta a prestamo...

One lucky COS reader attended the filming of The Cesc Fabregas Show on Tuesday and, according to Alim Kabia, it didn't disappoint. The Nike-sponsored event, which will be shown on Sky Sports 1 next Monday, featured the Arsenal midfielder talking about his footballing career up to now and showing off his silky skills, both [.

Happy Friday to you all. Not a huge amount happening to be honest but we'll muddle on the best we can.

Some good news to begin with and it looks like Gael Clichy is set to sign a new 4 year deal with the club. He was certainly one of our best players last season, his consistency was fantastic and it's great that he's going to sign on.

The 07/08 Premier League season was the first in the new 3-year deal secured by Scudamore and co., one that promises to bring a crazy amount of money into football. While some people think that football is peaking in England, I respectfully disagree - the scramble for football dollars has just begun, with the [.

If Gael Clichy isn't already the best left-back in the Premiership, he likely will be in two years time when his contract is to end at Arsenal. But that might not be the case now as the club are said...

Carlos Vela will factor into the first team next season, so says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. The 19-year-old striker has been on loan at Spanish side Osasuna this past season. Wenger recently stated that he plans to bring the Mexican...

Thierry Henry is doing just fine at Barcelona, so says his former Arsenal teammate Patrick Vieira. The Inter Milan midfielder, who has been speaking quite a bit about things Arsenal recently, said his friend and striker is contempt to continue...

Cesc Fabregas isn't shy about who he'd like his club to sign this summer. He was asked the question while filming his new TV show and the answer was quick and to the point. David Villa.

Lassana Diarra would like you to believe that he doesn't think about Arsenal now that he's at Portsmouth. The midfielder left for Pompey in January after coming to the Gunners on a deadline day deal in August. His reasoning for...

Today, Emma Hayes was announced as the inaugural Head Coach for Chicago Women's Professional Soccer. Here's a look at why I think she's the perfect fit for the job.

At least, I won't.

Reports are reporting that Gaël Clichy, Bacary Sagna, Cesc Fabregas, and Emmanuel Adebayor are all to be signing new deals shortly. Of those, Cesc's is the one I'm most surprised about- he sighed an 8-year one quite recently. But he is the team's star, so perhaps a bit of a raise is in order to keep him that way.

Okay, so Yaya Toure didn't exactly say he'd like to play at Arsenal with his brother Kolo, but I don't think you could interpret his comments any other way. The Barcelona midfielder could be leaving the Camp Nou after one...

I kid a little, but I'm always surprised by Arsenal fans who don't care for Emmanuel Adebayor. The Togo striker was one of the top scorers in England this year and looks like he could only get better. He's been...

Nothing surprising here, but Arsenal are being linked with another young striker - Mauro Zarate. The Argentine spent the second half of the season on loan at Birmingham City and could attract Premiership interest after playing well during his time...

Cesc should get on the phone, dial David Villa's number and get Villa to do whatever is necessary for Valencia to sell him to Arsenal.

Go do some tapping up Cesc.

Villa wants to join, Cesc wants him to join, does Le Boss want him to join? Hopefully.

This might sound like double standards after Hleb being tapped up by Inter, but fuck it, it happens to our players all the time.

It is interesting to see how perceptions of players changes with time. Flamini has just completed his fourth season at the club, the first as a regular, having come close to signing for Birmingham last summer. Hleb, meanwhile, has now been at Arsenal for three years, and even this, his best season, only produced a [.

Morning all. I'm right tired this morning honestly so this one may not be as long as usual. It sucks not having any matches to look forward to. Can you believe it thought this blog is almost one year old now. Next month will be one whole year. Ridiculous.

Arsene Wenger enlightened all of us who were baffled as to how he could keep playing Eboue on the wing.

All year long we've been bitching about refereeing decisions going against our clubs. Sometimes we resort to bitching about how refereeing decisions unfairly help other clubs (witness SAF's comment on Arsenal's late equaliser against Villa, or Grant's whinge about referees helping United win the title).

Many have cited Arsene Wenger's decision to allow Lassana Diarra leave in January as a reason why Arsenal lost some serious momentum in the Premier League title race. While it's probably absurd to suppose that a squad player (albeit a very good one) was central to any hopes the Gunners had of winning the league, [.

Nine months ago everyone was level on points, but last week all of the game came to end as United did what they do best win titles. This video wraps the season up in three minutes.


Approximately 12 weeks from now the EPL season will be kicking off again, but there still is that massive game in Moscow in less then a week.

When Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood spoke about Kroenke last year, he played on the fans' sentiments and stoked the fires of independence by claiming 'we don't want his sort'. Never mind that the man was a shareholder and a business partner - a Yank is a Yank is a Yank, and in the face [...]

Today's hotter-than-July lies... 1. Mauro Zarate to Arsenal The on-loan Birmingham star (pictured) is on the wish list of one big-four club, at least according to his agent. I guess it's Arsenal who want him, as an Eduardo replacement. [Setanta]...

Andrei Arshavin played a starring role in Zenit St. Petersburg's UEFA Cup win over Rangers at City of Manchester Stadium, and it might not be the last time he steps foot on the pitch at Eastlands. Manchester City have reportedly put in a 10 million pound bid for the Russian playmaker, who has [...]

By Milo Hewitt First, thanks to The Gaffer I had the opportunity to attend this one-off exclusive show, a must for any Arsenal fan. My friend and I arrived at Fountain Studios in Wembley at approx 5:45 pm. While waiting in the queue we saw Paul Merson and Michael Thomas waiting by the stage door. [.
