Does Nasri realise by now that he should have stayed at Arsenal?
After 224 seconds into his Arsenal debut, Samir Nasri had already opened his Arsenal account with a simple tap in from a pass from Denilson. One of the best talents ever to be discovered by Arsene Wenger from France, Nasri was playing the football of h…
Neill: Will Wenger Leave It Too Late For Replacements?
While I’m glad that Arsene Wenger is finally showing the likes of Emmanuel Eboue and Nicklas Bendtner the door, there is something that concerns me. Most clubs make sure that they have replacements lined up before they start selling players. Will Wenger make the mistake of letting players go without making sure he can fill [...]
Transfer Update: Fabregas and Nasri
The squad for our Asian tour was scrutinised by every keen Arsenal fan in order to find some evidence of Wenger’s transfer policy this summer. Perhaps we have read into the squad list far too much, but with little other news available, it’s all that us Gooners can do right now. Fabregas was not in read more »
Hey Nasri, let me introduce you to Hleb
So Nasri has practically said Arsenal has no hope of winning a trophy in the next ten years. Well that could be the only meaning of the PR self destruct interview. Nasri is approaching the end of his career at the old age of 24 and he is in a team of c…
Arsene’s new hard line on contracts, Sign or your out
Arsene Wenger seems to have taken a no nonsense approach towards the new contract negotiations this summer, telling players to sign a new contract, or leave. It all started with Mathieu Flamini 3 years ago, Arsene had allowed his contract to run down to the last year and despite a more than generous offer of [...]
AC Milan to make a move for Samir Nasri
There are reports from Italy today that the Serie A Champions AC Milan are monitoring the contract talks between Samir Nasri and Arsenal, and are preparing to make a huge bid if the French midfielder fails to agree new terms with the Gunners. Arsene We…
Cesc to leave… Nasri to follow?
So rumours are hotting up about Cesc Fabregas and his much mooted move away from the club. Manchester City have thrown their hat in the ring in typical nouveau riche fashion. Mancini said Cesc is his ideal man, they told Arsenal that in no uncertain terms last summer and if the Spaniard is as unhappy [...]
Handle Djourou With Care
First of all, the recent Arsenal injury news has been driving me nuts. At the end of November, Eboue’s injury looked serious and we were told that he would out for 4-5 weeks. He then returned just a game later. Koscielny’s injury scare was even worse, as it was thought he would be out until 
Hleb and Flamini to return to Premier League?
Just two years after both Aleksandr Hleb and Mathieu Flamini left Arsenal, it looks like both of them will be returning to England with their tails between their legs.
Hleb especially should be embarassed as he forced Wenger to let him leave, whilst complaining about “chaotic English life (and the weather!), while Flamini refused to sign [...]
Flamini joins Hleb on the scrapheap. £6m anyone?
After the news today that Barcelona are willing to dispose of Alexandr Hleb for a measly £3m if they can find anyone willing to take him off their hands, it seems that he is not the only ex-Arsenal player that is finding it hard to find a job outside North London!
Mathieu Flamini left Arsenal at [...]
Gael Clichy to join Flamini at AC Milan?
I wrote an article yesterday saying that Arsenal are heading for a defensive crisis next season with William Gallas, Mikael Silvestre and Sol Campbell all approaching their sell-by date, and according to the Arsenal News in today’s News of the World, it appears that Gael Clichy could also be leaving the Emirates.
They report that Clichy [...]
