These Are Trying Times To Be An Arsenal Fan

Should Gooners Be Worried By Lack of Big Signings So Far? - Bleacher Report

These are indeed trying times to be an Arsenal fan. Everyone seems to be buying someone of proven quality and experience, our rivals, our neighbours, even the Sp*ds. Then there's Sanago..., but we know it'll take awhile before he plays 1st team so on to other things.

Our 'market stall' seems eerily quiet, some say something big's cooking others like me are a bit pessimistic; one of the reasons I've been off twitter for awhile. The ITK's don't seem to know so much anymore, the silence is unnerving, I'm afraid...


Arsenal fail with bid for Lyon's Clement Grenier - SkySports

The previous article says we've not signed any big names, which is true; we've not signed any middle/medium names either like Grenier and maybe Aubameyang. It seems all our efforts to sign quality players get knocked back. Are we offering too little? Maybe below the going market price? I dunno.

We hear Higuain is not done and there was never a look in Fellaini's direction, we can't afford Casillas and Fabregas wants to remain at Barca. Jovetic wants Juventus and Rooney wants ruining with money from the money bags PSG. I can hear Judas laughing and I don't want to think of the impending competition we're going to face this season.

And so the big signings seem to be all but taken, we then seem to settle for the good enough 'has-beens' like...

This might be a rumour, I hope it is. It's not like he's not a good player but we have a lot of good players at Arsenal, at this point, we want exceptional talent; we want amazing.

I know I sound like a pessimist, maybe I am but, the English Premier League would be one tough nut to crack this season; make no mistake, Ferguson's exit hasn't made it any easier.

Arsenal announce their first signing of the summer with the free transfer of Yaya Sanogo

3rd July 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


First day of the officially opening of the transfer window Arsenal have announced their first signing with the free transfer of 20 year old Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre. The Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said of the transfer.

“Sanogo is a good young signing for us. He has shown that he has potential with his recent performances for Auxerre and also for the France Under-20 side. We are looking forward to Yaya joining us and continuing his promising development.”

Not the big first singing the Arsenal fans were looking for but hopefully this will be just the first of many with the Gunners reportedly on the brink of bringing in Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid for a fee around £22 million.  

Gonzalo Higuain's agent admits to Arsenal transfer being almost complete

27th June 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Gonzalo Higuain agent/brother claims that a deal to take him to the Emirates is almost done as the striker is looking to leave Real Madrid for a new challenge.

The striker's brother Nicolas Higuain told Italian website www.tuttomercatoweb.com: 'If Tevez joins Juve, is Higuain closer to Arsenal? I think so.

'Juventus is a great club, but Gonzalo is too expensive for them.

'Napoli are a strong team. Having said that, I cannot deny that Gonzalo is now close to Arsenal.'

Yesterday Tevez did complete his move to Juventus which now means that the deal for Higuain is one step closer to being complete. So this could be the huge news for Arsenal and a great way to start off the summer for the Gunners and could pave the way for more big money transfers in which Fellani has been heavily linked to the Arsenal in recent weeks.

John Hartson : Arsenal should sign Wayne Rooney

21st June 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Former Arsenal player John Hartson believes that the Gunners should do their up most to sign Manchester United's Wayne Rooney.

"I think Rooney would be a fantastic signing," the Welshman told Goal. "He's actually coming into his prime.

"He's only about 27, 28 and you don't play your best football until this stage of your career so, in terms of his experience and everything he's done at Manchester United, I think he would be a brilliant signing and Arsenal fans would welcome him into the side."

"I think you will see Rooney take up a deeper role because of his experience and when he drops into that little hole behind the striker, he gives the centre-backs a real problem because he needs to be marked, and you couldn't let a player like him come in on the half-turn and face your back four because he will just cause riots in there.

"He can pick people out, he can slide balls through, break the centre backs by getting between the lines and by playing balls over the top.

"He has unbelievable individual ability and if they can find the right position for him, he'd be brilliant. Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane both dropped into deeper roles as they got older and wiser.

"Arsenal fans are used to players like Rooney. They've had Dennis Bergkamp, Liam Brady, Anders Limpar, they've had great ball players over the years and Rooney would be a magic signing, I'm a big fan of his.

"So, for me, I would just break the bank and go and get Rooney if United will let him go."


Harton wants Arsenal to finally  end the eight years without a trophy :

"The only thing that is letting them down right now is the fact they haven't won a major trophy for six or seven seasons which is disappointing.

"They've come close, they've hit the post if you like, they've lost in cup finals and when you talk about Arsenal, you're so used to talking about them winning things but they've not won anything.

"They've qualified for the Champions League, which is a great achievement for many years now on the spin so Wenger deserves huge credit for that but they're still a massive club and, in my opinion, they will have no problem attracting world-class players."

Ian Wright believes that Arsenal will struggle to compete in the transfer market against the top teams

Higuain is a 22 million pound target for Arsenal

Ian Wright beleives that Arsenal will stuggle to compete in the transfer market against the top teams below you will find out what he had to say on the matter.

“Arsene Wenger’s future at the club is secure, because he has done so much for the club since he got there," said Wright, who was speaking at a charity event at the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore.

“I feel that the quality of signings over the past few years is the reason why they haven’t won anything in eight years.

“They have to sign players with the right qualities, but they are going into a team to help young players who are coming through.

“I think it’s going to be harder for Arsenal because Manchester United has a new manager, and so do Chelsea," he warned.

"Manchester City have a point to prove, and even Tottenham are coming through. It’s going to be hard to try to attract the kind of players that’s not going to want to go to those other clubs."
