    Lloris deal done?

    Szczesny could also still be injured (injections in his hands to keep him playing), and that maybe it is more serious than first thought.

    RVP replacement

    Giroud or Higuain. Giroud oozes class, and his style of play would suit Arsenal down to a T. 17 million buyout clause as well, would leave lots of money for someone else as well. Higuain has an impeccable record of goal scoring, and seems to be out of favour at Madrid, don't know how he would...

    The Referee - Anthony Taylor

    I think its fair to say the referees this season have been absolutely garbage. There was a string of games starting mid december i think (including trips to Craven Cottage and the Etihad) where Arsenal went about 9 games in a row, with a stonewall penalty claim (or two) in each of those...

    Its not just about the wages, that will hinder Arsenals buying power.

    It seems as if you have misunderstood the whole point of this post. This post is infact in as little as it can be, about Arsene Wenger. This is about how the board, and the clubs financial providers commit their business for the good of the club. As well as the flaws and negative points between...

    Its not just about the wages, that will hinder Arsenals buying power.

    Africa is a great market for Arsenal.. Whose supporters are quite numerous in various African countries. Also the USA is a great market, Thierry Henry has been a great ambassador, and FOX sports shows a LOT of Arsenal games in relation to any other teams in the premier league.

    Its not just about the wages, that will hinder Arsenals buying power.

    Most of this info I have gleaned from reading http://swissramble.blogspot.co.uk Many supporters will say, and I tend to agree, is that we have A LOT of money wasted on wages for players who are deemed as surplus to requirements, or are simply not good enough. At best guess, this probably...

    Where do you see Podolski playing ?

    I think Song may lose out on his position, due to his change in role (advancing more often). Out of Arteta,Rosicky and himself, he gives the ball away a lot more, and all three have proven they can make decent tackles. Rosicky in fact is probably the best player we have, that tracks and chases...

    3 Players Away From An Incredible Squad

    I'd add Giroud, just as extra tactical variety and RVP protection... The guy is outstanding, and would be a huge asset to the squad.

    Mertesacker - to be sold?

    If any defenders are making way for Vertonghen, it will be Djourou and Squillaci

    Wenger banned for 3 UEFA games and fined £40k

    This is one of my true hates in football. Whenever someone says something truthful but it points out a flaw in the governing body through its referees and their decisions, its a cardinal sin. Its an absolute disgrace when a manager can get fined and banned for simply pointing out a truth of what...

    Have Arsenal genuinely turned a new leaf or is it a false dawn?

    Were you watching the same game? We were all over them for 90 minutes and deserved the 3 points.

    God and football

    Well If Muamba pulls through it will have been humans that have saved him, not god. It will have been his internal strength, the medics quick response, and the doctors at the London Chest Hospital that will return Muamba to health, not god. Within that though, the idea or thought of prayer...
