L:et's start of this morning with a little chuckle at this story that've seen this morning, suggesting that Barcelona are plotting an 'ambitious' bid for William Saliba. I'm sure Barca love the look of Big Bill - who wouldn't given he's just come off of another season in which he's proven himself to be one [...]
Happy Friday folks. Wherever you are, hope it's a good one. Those in the England national team camp who played last night are probably not waking up with that feeling after their poor performance yesterday, that's for sure! I missed the first 15 or 20 minutes of the game, so didn't see Kane's tap in [...]
Didn't bother blogging over the weekend because a) There wasn't really much Arsenal stuff to speak of, b) I spent a lot of the weekend mornings pretty hungover, and c) it was the Euro's so all the attention would be on that and I wanted to hold off talking about international football for as long [...]
This might be a short one today, as I seem to have amassed a whole bunch of work I have to do first thing this morning (both 'work work' and life admin) that has meant I've got about 12 minutes to pen some thoughts before I go in to the first meeting of the day. [...]
There's a fair few people on the internets and social medias today who are a little sad about the whole Benjamin Sesko stuff. I feel like there's been a little bit of 'reading between the lines' from a few journo's though and, without wanting to come across as a completely smug d*ck, I kind of [...]
Last night I did a bit of an impromptu pod with Cookie on the Same Old Arsenal channel in which we talked about 'keep, loan or sell' through a selection of players. I reeled off a few Transfermarkt figures in Euros but, if you're a regular user of Transfermarkt like I am, you'll know that [...]
This might end up being a short one today, mainly on account of there being little to chew over from an Arsenal perspective, other than spurious rumours. I saw talk yesterday that Arsenal won't be accepting anything other than £50million from Aaron Ramsdale. Good. Whether or not we get that remains to be seen, but [...]
On Tuesday there were stories about Jorginho and his new deal, yesterday we had some noises about the potential of Arsenal listening to offers for Gabriel Jesus. You can tell we're rapidly approaching transfer silly season, can't you? I have my own thoughts on this, as you'd expect, but as with all of these things [...]
Another one of the current crop tied down, as Arsenal announced that Takehiro Tomiyasu has extended his stay with the club by signing a new deal. And it was a lovely video that the club posted to announce it too: Dedication. Determination. Tomiyasu ✍️ pic.twitter.com/2Q6kGZWNza — Arsenal (@Arsenal) March 20, 2024 We all love Tomi, [...]
There was Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday and whilst there was a flurry of questions that he answered about Liverpool, team news, young players, the transfer window, etc, I think I'll spend the vast bulk of today speaking about Thomas Partey, who Arteta confirmed had a set back in training this last few days and [...]
