This season has been a tough one as a gooner, the slow start and loss of two of are best players hit hard, but we are starting to find some form. In my opinion Wenger’s goals for the season now are 1.finishing top four 2. run in champions league 3. R…
David: Just where should Arsenal sign a player, injured or a world-star?
Analyzing each position, I will make transfers which Arsène would realistically make. Goalkeepers: – Chesney > 1st choice – Fabianski > 2nd choice – Almunia > 3rd choice = no need for new goalkeeper. Right Backs: – Sagna (injured) >…
David: What will happen if Arsenal don’t buy anyone in the transfer market?
For many seasons now, we have arrived at the January Transfer Window with obvious need for investment to take us over the line. Last season, we needed the investment to compete for 4 trophies, but this season the line has been drawn a bit closer. We ne…
Wenger mustn’t ignore the need for new signings in January
Despite all the talk about the potential effect of the loss of van Persie or other players like Song and Walcott to injury (to Arsenal’s ambitions), Arsene Wenger has still ruled out signing players to back up the key men in the January transfer …

Paul: What would you do if you were Arsenal Manager?? [Hypothetical]
We have all played computer games where you can manage your favourite team. So it would be a good idea to ask the question– What would you do if you were the manager?? Everyone seems to have his own opinion. But I would like to state that I don
Paul: Get off Wenger’s back now and support the Arsenal

Nitesh: Analyzing Stan’s comments- Not so silent anymore !
Silent Stan is a nickname which has become synonymous while discussing the new Arsenal major shareholder, Stan Kroenke. After his takeover towards the end of last season, the Gooner faithful were hopeful that he would bring a strict firmness to the rather placid-looking boardroom and come down hard on any non-performers. But so far, most [...]
Nitesh: A general roundup of the circus that Arsenal FC is !

Nitesh: Dancing with the stars…….may have to wait ! Arsenal FC, I miss you !
With the news that Wilshere will be missing for 2 or 3 months now, Gooners are counting their lucky stars that we got Benayoun in now. Jack will be sorely missed, but we need to stand up and rally again. No team is built around any one player, so lets do our job well now! [...]

Add them to Chu Young Park, and you have 5 players in 30 hours. I think that’s pretty much what most Gooners wanted. I’m not talking [...]
Simeon: Was it really a good transfer window for Arsenal?
So it’s the end of the summer transfer madness. And we are all “happy” gooners. But let’s be realistic : several days and one six margin loss ago things were different.
