Surely Carlos Vela would be better than Chamakh or Bendtner?

All the recent talk has been about Arsenal signing Lukas Podolski, about selling Chamakh, not having a proper backup to van Persie and that loaning Bendtner off was a mistake. Really, though, where is Carlos Vela? Just two seasons ago, … Continue…

What Arsenal’s Preseason taught us about five players

To boo or not to boo?

Arsenal 1 – 1 New York Red Bulls: Emirates Cup It’s pretty sad really looking at Arsenal players got booed by their own fans in yesterday’s match against New York Red Bulls.
