Pires wants Arsenal to sign David Villa by FD

With all the transfer talk about young, exciting – and expensive – strikers that could be on their way to the Emirates this summer, there’s been little said about one particular forward who was generally supposed to have been on Arsene Wenger’s radar in the last January transfer window. I’m talking about Barcelona’s David Villa. Yes, he’s 31 years old and has been blighted by injuries recently, which have contributed to his sporadic first-team appearances for the Catalan giants. But he has a wealth of experience and is still Spain’s all-time leading goal scorer. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal should learn a lesson from Liverpool by SS

Arsenal are in a strange phase at the moment and they have been for the last few years. The fans and neutrals are scratching their heads as to why the club can not challenge for trophies anymore, despite the stacks of cash the club apparently has in reserve.

Every summer fans claim that things are going to be different this time, but they never are. It has been rumoured that the club is going to go out and spend £70 Million this summer which everybody can only hope is true. The whole situation made me realise that if Arsenal can’t change things this summer, they are going down the same road Liverpool did from 2009 and onwards. .......Read the full article here

Has the Jovetic interest ended? by AH

I don’t know how many times I have read that the Fiorentina striker Stefan Jovetic has signed a pre-contract agreement with Arsenal and will join the Gunners when the transfer window opens. I’ve even seen Photoshop pictures of Jovetic edited in an Arsenal kit, yet now all of a sudden the story has gone cold. However, now there are reports that once Juventus declared an interest, Jovetic would like to stay in Italy.

Jovetic’s agent stated; ‘Stevan prefers to stay in Italy rather than move away.’ .......Read the full article here

Why Arsenal will prevail by Sam

Obviously, Arsenal’s transfer policy and constant antics in the market have not exactly brightened up the average fan’s day, but it has a reason. As many criticize “Silent Stan,” and “Ivan the Terrible,” there are very specific reasons for their actions. .......Read the full article here

Is Benteke really the answer? by AH

After Benteke’s comments yesterday about Arsenal, I’ve seen fans calling for Wenger to sign him as if he was the world’s best player stating that he always dreamed of playing for Arsenal, however he’s not. Back in reality he’s a 22 year old striker for Belgium who had an exceptionally good season, but is he really what Arsenal need right now? .......Read the full article here

How much the deadwood will free up space by AH

It’s a pretty well-known fact that in order for Arsenal to improve then we need to ship out some of the ‘deadwood’ and replace it with talent that can seriously build on our team and make it a strong competitor. If I’m honest I really don’t think we are that far off a great team, we have the buildings of it already at the club, we just need to go out this summer and buy, in my opinion 3, maybe 4 top quality players. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have always been slated for their spending and financial status. Despite being one of the world’s wealthiest and most valued clubs, every year Arsenal fail to bring in the big name players that everyone is desperate for, in order to make our team great once again.

Arsenal have managed to consistently compete at the highest level on a relatively low spending budget. It was recently announced that In English Premier League History Arsenal have spent £406,690,000 on incoming transfers, which may seem a lot to you but when you think that it’s over the entire course of the premier league era, it’s a very long time and in comparison to other clubs we are 6th in the spending table, behind Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, United and Spurs. (They are actually ahead of us in a final table for once!) .......Read the full article here

Just as it seemed that Arsenal were losing their grasp on one of the top transfer targets, a couple of stories in the Spanish media have offered renewed hope that Gonzalo Higuain could be a Gunner next season. The striker’s father Jorge and brother Nicholas work as his representatives and Nicholas has declared that the reports of an agreement with the Italian champions are premature.

He told Marca, “There is nothing done yet with Juve. The Player rights belong to Real Madrid and the first thing we need to do is meet with the club.” .......Read the full article here

Arsenal cannot win the title without major changes by SS

Every summer I hear Arsenal fans saying that next season the club will be back for a title challenge, I repeatedly laugh at that because I and anybody who is realistic knows that Arsenal simply cannot make a title challenge unless there is drastic changes to the whole club.

The very first thing that needs to change is the club’s transfer policy. I would agree that when running a business it is better to spend what money you have to stay safe than taking loans that plunge the club into bad situations years down the line. I would agree with that in any other business that’s not football. .......Read the full article here

On another day of Arsenal transfer madness, the latest player to be linked with a move to the club is Valenica’s French centre back Adil Rami. Rami is thought to want a move away from the club to guarantee him Champions League football and Valencia will be happy to sell him so they can raise funds for new players if they get a decent fee for him.

So far it has been crazy with all these rumours and reports going round about Benteke, Williams, Jovetic and all the other players linked with Arsenal. .......Read the full article here

Paul Lambert is probably well aware that he faces an uphill struggle to stop his star striker from joining Arsenal. Although we have not heard anything about Arsene Wenger getting in touch with Aston Villa about a transfer, the Frenchman must be aware that Christian Benteke has hinted about moving and has even specifically mentioned the Gunners.

Lambert, unsurprisingly, feels that the 22-year old Belgian international should remain at Villa, suggesting that he would be better off undergoing his football progression where he is, where the fans already love him, there is not so much pressure to perform and where he is almost guaranteed to play. .......Read the full article here

I have written articles about what the former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson has said before and it has pretty much been non-stop negativity, especially towards Arsene Wenger. Robson never played under the Frenchman, but he clearly considers himself an authority on him.

The Talksport regular has been telling us all season that Wenger should go and was clearly going to fail to finish in the top four this season. He didn’t accept that Wenger was working miracles on a shoestring budget and I think he was disappointed that the prof managed to steer his Gunners above Tottenham and keep up his fantastic Champions League qualifying record. He certainly didn’t say anything after the final day about how well Arsenal finished and that he was wrong. .......Read the full article here
