Just Arsenal News

Until Arsenal know for sure whether it will be the Champions League or the Europa League next season, Arsene Wenger will be keeping his powder dry, but Arsenal fans are hoping for a good summer in the transfer market, we have certainly waited long enough.

It was thought that Stevan Jovetic was the main target for the Gunners, assuming we finish in the top four of course, but that may have changed to the Argentinean hit-man Gonzalo Higuain. It appears that the recent rumours about a possible transfer to the Emirates this summer are not as wide of the mark as we may have thought. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal still have a top four finish and Champions League qualification in their own hands after a fantastic 4-1 win over Wigan Athletic last night. The Gunners could even snatch third place with Chelsea having just a single goal better goal difference.

We still have to win the final game away to Newcastle United on Sunday, however, and it looks like we will have to do it without Mikel Arteta. The vice-captain was substituted late in the game and it turns out that he has a calf problem, as Arsene Wenger revealed after the game. .......Read the full article here

This was always going to be ab open and exciting game, with Arsenal and Wigan needing to win for different reasons. Arsene Wenger made just one change, with Gibbs coming in for Monreal and the young England international did brilliantly against one of Wigan’s main threats Callum Mcmanaman.

Arsenal made a great start and looked like they were going to blow Wigan out of the water. Walcott was really in the mood and was tormenting them down the right flank. It was one of Theo’s crosses that produced the corner that led to the opening goal. Podolski, playing as centre forward got a proper striker’s goal from it. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have only one man to fear tonight, and he doesn’t play for Wigan by DG

We Arsenal fans have almost every reason to be buoyant at our remaining fixtures over the next week. A home tie against a Wigan team that has underperformed all year and who will most likely be suffering from a cup final hangover, followed by an away game against a Newcastle side who simply don’t care anymore. Two teams in the bottom 6, and all we have to do is get the 6 points to secure our top 4 spot. The fixtures couldn’t have been much kinder, regardless of Wigan’s recent good form. So what could possibly go wrong? Oh, by the way…did I mention who’s refereeing the Wigan game? .......Read the full article here

Arsenal could possibly make the most of the uncertainty and confusion at Manchester City to beat the oil rich club to one of the transfer targets we have in common. The Bosnian midfielder Miralem Pjanich has been linked Tottenham as well, but if the Gunners can continue the fantastic recent run and grab six points off Wigan and Newcastle, we will have the lure of Champions League football and will be a much more attractive proposition to potential signings. .......Read the full article here

One of the players most likely to be coming to Arsenal during the transfer window this summer is the Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic, if you believe the media that is. If it is really the case that there is no smoke without fire then the choking swirl surrounding Florence in Italy could be good news for the Gunners.

Last summer, the Montenegrin striker decided to stay at Fiorentina and help them fight another season and try to get into the Champions League. They still could manage it, with one game left to play they are two points behind AC Milan, but it looks more likely that they will in the Europa League again. .......Read the full article here

There was great deal of excitement and expectation amongst Arsenal fans around this time last year, because we heard that Arsene Wenger had secured the transfer of the German international Lukas Podolski from Cologne. The 27-year old has enjoyed a pretty good first season with the Gunners, but there have been concerns over his fitness and rumours of a problem between him and Wenger.

This has mainly been because he is almost always substituted when he starts a game, or only brought in later when Arsenal are struggling. Wenger has been speaking about Podolski, who is likely to be the centre forward against Wigan in the absence of our other summer striker signing Olivier Giroud. .......Read the full article here

To borrow a phrase from the retiring Alex Ferguson, it really is squeaky bum time for Arsenal. Tottenham got yet another result they barely deserved at Stoke today, which means that the Gunners are now sitting outside the Champions League places in fifth position.

Spurs now have 69 points, two more than Arsenal, so we absolutely must beat Wigan Athletic at the Emirates on Tuesday. It will definitely go to the last day of the season, whatever the result against Wigan. The Gunners have an away game at Newcastle, while their North East rivals Sunderland travel to White Hart Lane. Both of those teams could need a result to guarantee their Premier League safety, depending on how they do today and how Wigan do on Tuesday. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal do not play again until Tuesday night, giving the Gunners 10 days between games, while our opponents Wigan Athletic will be facing their fourth game in the same period. It is not the tiredness of the Wigan players that could help Arsenal, however, it is the tiredness of the Chelsea players.

To be fair to them, Chelsea have been coping well with the massive amount of games they have had this season, but it seems to be catching up with them. This was evident in the second half against Tottenham on Wednesday and they face a young and energetic Aston Villa side in the early kick off tomorrow. Rafa Benitez also has a Europa League final to worry about next week and he has admitted that the players are feeling the strain. .......Read the full article here

I am not counting my chickens or anything, but with two games to go, Arsenal appear to be poised to pip Tottenham in the Premier League table again. The players still have to hold their nerve against Wigan Athletic and Newcastle United, but we have been doing that and have done it in previous seasons.

When the dust settles at the end of the season, Arsenal may be facing another tussle with our north London rivals, and the team that finishes in a Champions League place could have a huge advantage. It seems that Tottenham have finally realise that Adebayor is a liability who has plenty of talent but only uses it when he feels like it, so they are in the market for a quality striker and David Villa is the man they want, according to Talksport. .......Read the full article here

It appears that Arsene Wenger is looking to La Liga in Spain again for new additions to the Arsenal squad this summer. You can hardly blame him, because his two most recent signings, Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal, have both been from the Spanish league and they have both fitted in very well at the Emirates.

Arsenal were strongly linked with one front man from Atletico Madrid last summer and in January, but this time it is not Adrian Lopez who has been linked with the Gunners, or Radamel Falcao, but the player who has been challenging his place this season, Diego Costa. .......Read the full article here

There has been a lot of talk about the former Gunners returning to Arsenal from Barcelona, especially since the Spanish champions in waiting were destroyed by Bayern Munich home and away and sent tumbling out of the Champions League. The Spanish media is awash with stories about rebuilding at the Nou Camp, with wholesale movement of players in and out of the club.

Neither Song nor Fabregas has had a brilliant season with Barca, so the rumours of a return to the Emirates are not surprising, especially as both players have publicy declared their love for the club and their gratitude and respect for Arsene Wenger. Fabregas has moved to stop theses rumours, though, and has made it known that he is happy and determined to stay where he is. .......Read the full article here
