The Arsenal legend David Seaman doesn’t think that Arsenal can win the Premiership title this season, and expects Man Utd and Chelsea to yet again be fighting it out at the top. Many people, including Arsene Wenger, has said that this season could be the hardest Premiership race ever, but Seaman disagrees.
He said: “I’m desperate for Arsenal to do well, but they need to be more consistent. They’ve got to play ugly at times, sneak a few results when they’re not playing well. .......Read the full article here
There have been many rumours about Arsene Wenger making a bid for the German playmaker Mesut Ozil, but the player himself is more keen on a move to either Chelsea or Man Utd.
Ozil only has one year left on his contract at Werder Bremen and it looks like he will not be short of offers after his excellent performances at the World Cup, but he believes he will have more chance of winning trophies if he moves to Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge. .......Read the full article here
It is being reported today that Chelsea have beaten Arsenal to the signature of the 17 year-old Sigma Olomou defender Tomas Kalas.
Both London clubs were reportedly trying to entice the promising centre-back to move to England, and Sky Sports even said that Arsene Wenger had personally spoken to the youngster to discuss his policy of bringing young talent through his system to make them stars.
Sigma today issued a statement saying that Kalas would be leaving for a “top European club”, but refused to name the team that has won his signature. .......Read the full article here
Chelsea were reported to be in deep negotiations with the 16 year-old Feyenoord midfielder Kyle Ebicilio, who is the cousin of another Chelsea youngster Jeffrey Bruma. It was thought that the Blues had finalised a deal on Thursday, and it was reported in the Dutch website RTV Rijmond that the Rotterdam youngster had completed his move to Stamford Beidge.
But the next day, they had to amend the news, as Arsenal stepped in with a last minute offer, and Ebicilio will now be following in Robin Van Persie’s and Nazer Baracite’s footsteps instead! .......Read the full article here
Crazy as it may seem, the latest Arsenal transfer news is saying the Joe Cole has agreed a three-year deal with Arsenal, and it will be formalised in the next week or two, which means he will be an Arsenal player when he starts the World Cup campaign with England.
The London Metro has just headlined the story like this: Joe Cole could be on the verge of making a shock move from Chelsea to Arsenal on a free transfer after rumours emerged today he has signed a three-year contract at the Emirates Stadium. .......Read the full article here
Arsene Wenger last night gave his biggest indication that he will be willing to spend some big money in the transfer market this summer, after many years of selling his top players.
Arsenal have had to rely on the youngsters coming through the youth system for the last few years to replace the outgoing stars, but Wenger now believes that the club is stable enough financially to be able to dip into the overflowing coffers. .......Read the full article here
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is convinced that his young Arsenal side are in the ascendency in the Premier League, while Chelsea, who are hot favourites to win their first ever League and FA Cup Double, are bound to drop some places due to the age of their team.
“We are the most on the up,” Wenger said. “The only difference is that tomorrow Abramovich can go out and buy 10 players because he has the financial potential. If Chelsea were run like every other club, he couldn’t do it. That’s the difference. On the curve we are going up, that is for sure, and they are going down; that is sure as well because they have six or seven players over 30. But Abramovich can just say, ‘Today I will buy seven 24-year-old players.’” .......Read the full article here
The Bolton manager Owen Coyle worked hard to persuade Arsene Wenger to let Jack Wilshere join him on loan from Arsenal, and is more than happy with the 18 year-old’s contribution in the second half of the season.
Wilshere will be in the Bolton team that faces Chelsea this evening, and Coyle is hoping that Capello will see how he fares against the England regular Frank Lampard.
Arsene Wenger was not very happy after seeing his team concede a goal in added time against Birmingham, and drop two points in the race for the Premiership title.
“It is a disappointment,” he said. “Because we had the game won, and we had the chance to score the second goal. I believe the pitch was very difficult to play on and it was a scrappy game. We got slowly on top and played the second half in their half but they defended well and made the game difficult. In the end we got caught.” .......Read the full article here
The Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson saw his team rise to the top of the Premiership again yesterday, just two points clear of Chelsea and Arsenal, and although Chelsea still have a game in hand, they also have to face United at Old Trafford during the run-in.
This has led the Scotsman to suggest that Arsenal will be the biggest danger to his fourth Premiership title in a row.
Arsene Wenger won’t think that his Arsenal team are not worthy Champions if they lift the title, despite losing all four games against the other two challengers, Chelsea and Man Utd, and he thinks that the Premier League as a whole has improved considerably from last season.
“In the Premier League this season the top teams have lost more games, but that’s had no consequences in Europe.” Wenger said.
“We have not been weakened internationally and that means the Premier League has maybe become stronger.
