Storm Clouds on the Horizon?

Since there’s nothing else going on due to the international break, I thought I’d take the opportunity to write something a little less topical that I’ve been worrying about lately. I think FIFA’s recent crackdown on Chelsea and other clubs could be a very bad omen indeed for Arsenal.

The Sound of Silence (Transfer Window in Review)
By: Martin | 13 Comments
Well, that’s it. The transfer window has come and gone, not with a bang but a whimper. No signings, no sales, no loans to report on the last day. For better or for worse, this is our squad until January.
To review,
Cesc Out, Sol Down, Philippe Up in the Air
By: Martin | 6 Comments
A little bit of news round-up from the early part of this week. First off, Cesc has been ruled out for tomorrow’s clash with Celtic. But this doesn’t really tell us anything. Wenger has said that it might have just been a slight tweak, in which case he could be ready to play against Manchester [...]
Transfer Rumors + Hartson Update
By: Martin | 11 Comments
Sigh. More transfer rumors today. I have to say, I like it so much better when the window is closed and we don’t have to deal with all this nonsense every day. But it’s out there, so let’s dive right in.
First, there are reports that Arsenal and Barcelona have agreed on a deal to sell [...]
Traore Stays, Merida Goes
By: Martin | 3 Comments
Arsenal have apparently turned down Birmingham’s bid to bring in Armand Traore on loan until the end of the season. For now. According to Alex McLeish, Wenger has said he won’t make a decision on Traore until the end of the transfer window in August. I have to think that this may have something to [...]
Don’t Call Us, We’ll Kalou
By: Martin | 28 Comments
Well, the hot rumor of the day is that Arsenal has made a bid to Chelsea for Solomon Kalou. Apparently Arsenal are offering £6 million, while Chelsea are holding out for £8 million.
I have to say, I’ve never been all that impressed with Kalou, but he’s still young, he grew up idolizing Thierry Henry, [...]
Arsenal Legend Vieira to Join . . . Arsenal?!
By: Martin | 22 Comments
Well, that’s the rumor, anyway. Some outlets are reporting Arsenal may offer Patrick Vieira a one-year, incentive-laden deal to come back to the club. It seems like Arsene Wenger hasn’t really found a good option at holding midfielder, so this would give him a stopgap until next summer, when he can hopefully go out and [...]
Kolo Gone to City; Henry Still Awesome
By: Martin | 18 Comments
Well, it looks like Toure to Manchester City is a done deal, for a rumored £15 million. Brace yourself for the surprise of what I’m about to say, but Citeh will also reportedly close to double Toure’s wages.
I have very mixed feelings about this.
Kolo Toure Out to City?
By: travis | 32 Comments
Could Arsene Wenger really sell another player to the Eastlands? News this morning is rampant that Kolo Toure is on his way out to City for a tidy sum of £15 million. While other outlets are reporting this as a done deal, we’ll have to wait and see what the clubs say.
One of the strongest [...]
Wenger’s Dilemma
By: Martin | 9 Comments
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. As was covered in the comments, we came away with a disappointing 2-2 draw with Barnet in Saturday’s friendly. While we shouldn’t ever really come away with anything less than a win against a League 2 side, this was a friendly very early in the preseason which didn’t feature [...]
