Fabregas aims for Arsenal captaincy
2007-07-19 08:34:00
It is "One Year On" series on arsenal.com and as part of it, Cesc Fabregas was interviewed. He was asked a few questions including his thoughts on captaining Arsenal one day. And this was his response.Everybody wants this kind of responsibility and 100 per cent me as well. It something that I have liked ever since I have been young and it would be no problem for me to be captain of this club.It's good to hear from him that he wants to take more responsibility. And this might give us a good hint that he's here to stay. That's pretty relieving too. If he stays, in a few seasons he'll be the Arsenal captain for sure. Such is the enthusiasm and commitment from this gem of a player.And when asked about the future of the club, this was his answer.The future is looking good. We have very good young players and most of them are teenagers. We are all ready to fight for the League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the Carling Cup, for everything. We must fight for everything that is in f...

The easiest route to the backpage of The Sun
2007-07-17 16:05:00
Well, a quick answer to my earlier post. "No". It was just another rumor which brought to light the seriousness with which The Sun reports transfer news.Apparently some fans of Boca Juniors posted on several Arsenal forums that Arsenal have a bid on table for Palacio and so on. The rumor didn't take much time to spread and it ended up on the back page of The Sun. And just after 24 hours or so, the creators of this rumor came out and acknowledged that it is a rumor.Anyways, well done mate, thats a load of traffic and what more, you made it into Sun and Daily Mail and many blogs.Meanwhile Gunnerblog is trying to make it into tomorrow's paper. I won't bet against him.Elsewhere, we have Arsene Wenger explaining the delay in the appointment of Director of Football."I wanted to do it before the end of the season when I started buying and selling,But then I thought that now is the worst time because I have no time to tell someone how I want to do things. I did not want to unsettle the t...

Is Rodrigo Palacio the next summer signing?
2007-07-16 14:33:00
Rodrigo Palacio is the latest player to be linked with Arsenal. The rumors started from a Boca Juniors blog which has stated that Arsenal has agreed a fee with Boca. The Sun picked up this bit and reported that a fee around £15m has prompted Boca to agree the transfer.Arsene paying £15m for a player. Strange. But stranger things have happened, so we can't be sure that this is just a rumor. Let's wait and see.Meanwhile, we had our first pre-season friendly against Barnet at Underhill. We came out with a comfortable 2-0 win, a good way to start the season. Adebayor and Barazite were the scorers.Denilson was injured after falling prey to a bad tackle, but the injury was reported as 'not serious'.After the match, there was an interview with Wenger where he talked about filling the void TH has left and Reyes' and his own future. It was nice to see him take a dig at want away striker Jose Reyes."Despite the global warming England is still not warm enough for him."A nice bit of sarc...

Exit talks - Freddie, Reyes, Cesc
2007-07-14 17:13:00
Recently there was some fresh interest from Real Madrid on Cesc Fabregas. Spanish clubs have this filthy habit of announcing everything in press, thus making more and more rumors to flow around in news sites. And Real Madrid clearly isn't an exception. They started this summer with dreams of Henry and Fabregas and Wenger. And so far much of the rumors linking these players have been due to the mouthing off to press by a Ramon Calderon or something like that.Coming to Cesc, after reading his interview, one question that hit me was this. Did Arsenal agree a fee with Real for Fab and allow talks between them? If they did, I'd consider it as the stupidest decision ever. Of course the bid would have been accepted by board and not by Wenger, coz Fab himself says that Wenger convinced him to stay. A really careless decision by the board and a great decision by Fab.Cesc didn't disappoint us, did he? He came out and denied that he is moving to Real, just what all Arsenal fans wanted to ...

Bacary Sagna signs on
2007-07-12 17:48:00
It's official. Bacary Sagna has signed for Arsenal on a long term deal for an undisclosed fee.Damn, why cant they just let us know the fee. So that leaves us with guesses about what the fee might be. The popular guess is that the fee might be around 7.5 m . So lets be optimistic that he's gonna be a good signing. This was his first interview after signing on for Arsenal and it's good to see that he's quite confident.Now the million dollar question is, Where will he play..? Arsene won't spend 7.5 mill for someone to sit on bench would he? I certainly hope not. And and after listening to Wenger's comments about the signing,He is a very capable defender and has played consistently well for Auxerre in recent seasons. He plays mainly at right back, but can also play along the defence or in midfield. it just got more confusing.One theory is that he will be backup to Eboue and first choice when he's away for African Nations Cup.Another one is that he'll fill in the right back slot ...

Will he ever shut up..?
2007-07-10 10:30:00
William Gallas. The worst signing Arsene ever did. Worse than Jeffers and Baptista.He gets injured again and again. Blames the club for his injuries and starts mouthing off to media, the things which should not be told. And does he perform well when he plays..? Rarely.? So Mr.Gallas, who the fuck are ya to speak like this..?'What is sure is that several players are questioning the club's future. 'Around us, all the teams are recruiting but what is planned to compensate for the departure of Titi Henry? 'I am not at Arsenal to play for third place. It is necessary to recruit players of reputation because the young players have many qualities but the season is very, very long. 'The young players are thirsty for victories but Arsenal must obtain results, win titles in this period. If not, we will have to change policy and do the same as the other teams: recruit with more means.' If you want to know about the clubs ambition, go and talk with Wenger. Not with the press.! Show some...

Damn you Henry, for making my design outdated
2007-07-10 09:42:00
Shite.Now i have to change the design just because of you and your ambition to win everything which you think will come true with Barca only. I'm no expert in photoshop means I've got some work on my hands. Damn you again.Its been a lot of time since i blogged; mainly because of my never ending exams. Now that i have time I'll just brush up the happenings.Henry has left. I'm a bit disappointed, but at the same time I'm happy.Disappointed because one of the best players who ever played for Arsenal has just left us. And for just 16m pounds..! It must have been due to contract buyout which every player can do these days.Disappointed because the reasons he put forward for his departure were just lame excuses. Its not because Arsene Wenger's future at the club is in doubt and it's not because Double D was sacked. The reason was plain and clear, He was of the opinion that this young squad is unable to mount a title charge. End of story. Anyway thank you Henry, for all the goals, al...

He either goes or he doesnt.

Like an infinite loop, it stretches and its never ending. Henry to Barcelona rumors have become so common a news on sites that nobody bothers to read them now..! Does these rumors have any substance..? Some say yes and some say no. Some say that Arsene was in Paris, meeting some Barca official to discuss a possible move for Theirry in exchange for Eto'o or just cash. It maybe true and it may not be.It all took a new turn when Henry had an interview in which he said he was shocked by Dein's departure and that it was a big mistake. He went on to say that he is an Arsenal player. But the words "I'll stay" that many Arsenal fans expected didn't come from him. The news papers picked on this and brought up a story that Henry wants big money signings at Emirates. So we are trying to keep Thierry happy so that he stays..!We have a 40m warchest and we're trying to sign Trezeguet and Babel and Malouda just to keep Henry happy.!Many Arsenal fans are disgusted with Henry's response to the...
