transfer speculation

“Rating and slating Arsenal’s January transfer targets” is a guest post written by Zane Wilcox – an avid Arsenal supporter and Arsenal FC Blog reader from the United States. * * * There is no doubt that we need a new striker with van Persie sidelined. But who? I think it should be a more [...]

Being the good, kind gentleman he is, Arsene Wenger very generously participated in a live webchat on the official Arsenal website last night. Although a lot of that chat was quite trivial, he did make some interesting comments about Robin van Persie’s ankle injury and revealed his thoughts on the need for a replacement. After [...]

Andrei Arshavin. Andrei Arshavin. Andrei Andrei Arshavin, Andrei Arshavin, Andrei Andrei Arshavin. Is there really anything else worth talking about? The big news of today/yesterday is that Arsenal have agreed a deal with Zenit St Petersburg for You Know Who (and no, I don’t mean Voldemort). However, there is one teensy-weensy catch; it’s yet to [...]

Sweet mother of mercy – what is going on with Andrei Arshavin? One minute the deal’s on, the next minute it’s off. Then it’s on again, then it’s off again. It reminds me off that clip from The Simpsons where Mrs. Krabappel keeps teasing Bart with a yo-yo. It’s cruel and evil and I don’t [...]

Hello to you all. I realise this is a very late blog for the day, but football training and some bizarre inner-city traffic means it is after 10pm in Brisbane as I write to you. And in truth, there’s very little to write about apart from a certain Russian playmaker. The Andrei Arshavin transfer saga [...]

Observe these quotes from agent Dennis Lachter about Arsenal’s move for Andrei Arshavin: “Unfortunately in this matter there is no movement. The sticking point is, of course, money and rather the totally unacceptable amount of Zenit’s demands for Andrei. The position of the club remains unchanged and that is the reality that we have faced for a long [...]

Hello, hello. How are we today? It’s an action-packed Tuesday post so sit tight and enjoy. I’ll start with Arsene Wenger, who has been talking about our recent form and the struggles that our nearest challengers have had lately. Commenting on the lucky escapes by Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa over the weekend and [...]

Arsenal’s seven-game unbeaten streak extended to eight over the weekend as two late goals from Samir Nasri and Nicklas Bendtner ensured a 3-1 win away to Hull City. Emmanuel Adebayor’s first-half header was cancelled out by another header by Daniel Cousin on 65 minutes before Nasri and Bendtner produced late efforts to win the match. Arsene Wenger [...]

F@&*! I just wrote an absolutely epic post for today covering Arsene Wenger’s thoughts on Andrei Arshavin, Manchester City and Kaka, injuries in the squad as well as the game against Hull. And now, thanks to an unfortunate click of the wrong button, it’s all gone. It’s a blogger’s worst nightmare come to life when [...]

It’s good afternoon from a very sunny, very hot day in Brisbane. It’s the sort of weather that someone like Arseblogger over in Ireland would kill for even though I would desperately prefer some rain. The grass is always greener and all that. I’m going to begin today with Dennis Bergkamp. Those who have not [...]

The football world has gone mad. Well, madder than usual, anyway. Today it was confirmed that Manchester City have tabled a £91 million offer for Kaka from AC Milan. It demands some attention if only because it shows that even in this difficult period of economic stability, anything is possible in the world of football. Now [...]

The performance wasn’t perfect but Nicklas Bendtner’s late winner meant it was job done for Arsenal against Bolton at the Emirates. In terms of a spectacle the match was hardly one to remember as Bolton took sitting back to a new extreme, affording us over 75% possession and allowing us to dictate the match. And [...]

It’s all a bit yawny as the Bolton game moves a day closer and the tedious transfer speculation plods along. Apart from another interesting bit of news about the signing of Andrei Arshavin there’s not a lot going on. I said in yesterday’s post that I felt that although Zenit St Petersburg have attached a £20 million [...]

It’s been another fine day in Brisbane and I’m spending the afternoon polishing off the carton of Tiger beer I picked up earlier in the week. Tasty, tasty, tasty. It’s very good news today with the confirmation of Arsenal’s interest in Andrei Arshavin being confirmed by both the player and Zenit St Petersburg manager Dick [...]

A very good day to you and I hope you’re doing well this fine Tuesday. Tuesday’s are usually the worst day of the week but the combination of some lovely weather and a delicious Indian meal at lunch meant that this one was far from the dodgiest I’ve had to live through.  It’s all transfer [...]

Just a quick Friday post to say that I am still alive and so is the blog. For various reasons – Christmas, no computer, holidays, the general need for a break – I’ve been unable to comment on the various goings on at Arsenal at the moment. However, the purchase of a new MacBook as [...]

I woke today expecting to see Chelsea atop of the Premiership and our boys languishing behind by 9 points. What a delight it was to see they had failed to beat Everton and that John Terry had been sent off for a very similar challenge to the one he made on Bacary Sagna a few [...]
