Another deadwood Arsenal player offloaded

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Bob

Arsenal have made more room at the Emirates after South Korean striker Park Chu-Young has sealed his transfer to the Spanish club Celta Vigo. The club were promoted to La Liga in Spain last season and have been looking to boost their squad on a tight budget.

Spanish newspaper Marca reports that the agreement is for a year long loan deal, with no mention of an option or clause to make it permanent. The 27-year old is due to be presented at the Balaidos stadium in Vigo at 4 p.m. today after completing his medical.

Park has only made 6 appearances for Arsenal since joining last summer, and only one of them in the league. With Arsenal struggling for goals, if he couldn’t get a game now, he never will. Maybe regular play will help him get his form back, but I cannot see him ever making it at the Emirates.

With Nicklas Bendtner off to Italy with Juventus and Park off to Spain, all we need is for somebody to take Chamakh off our hands. The Gunners will then, however, be dangerously short of cover up front. Will Theo Walcott finally get the chance to be the striker he has always wanted to be? Or has Arsene Wenger got something “special” in mind?

Arsenal offload another promising England U21 starlet

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Bob

The 21-year old midfielder Henri Lansbury has been with the Gunners since 1999 but has never managed to break through in to the first team. After a number of successful loan spells, Lansbury held talks with Arsene Wenger to get a clear idea of whether he had a future at Arsenal. After featuring a little in pre-season it was obviously decided, whether mutually or not, that he should move on.

Arsenal have now agreed terms with Championship side Nottingham Forest in a deal worth around £1 million. Forest are due to announce Lansbury as their new signing tomorrow, according to the Daily Telegraph. Forest will be hoping that Lansbury can make it three promotions in a row. Last year he made 22 appearances for West Ham, including  the successful play-offs.

The previous season Lansbury played 23 league games for Norwich City, scoring four goals and getting five assists to help them gain automatic promotion. He is a good example of Arsenal’s successful youth policy and we wish him well for the future.

Arsenal fans might remember him fondly, as he scored his only goal for Arsenal  against Tottenham in the Carling cup in 2010. It was a game that Arsenal won 4-1 and Lansbury played the whole game which he described as being “like a dream.”

Lansbury has made 14 appearances for the England U21's and has scored 5 goals. Surely he would be worth a lot more than £1 million in a few more years?

Arsenal ARE in the market for another striker

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Bob

I am getting used to Arsene Wenger’s press releases and statements this summer. It is all about reading between the lines and , essentially, not believing him. There was no way he would sell Alex Song with three years left on his contract. Arsenal had not even had any contact with Barcel-oh-no we have sold him.

This new found ability to understand Wenger-speak is what tells me that Le Prof is after a striker.

“We are looking to bring one more midfielder in, of course, and maybe one defender as well because we still feel we are short in some positions.”

So there you are, expect Arsenal to announce the signing of Fernando Llorente tomorrow. Seriously, I do think that Wenger is brilliant in the transfer market, but you can imagine the cold feeling of dread that washes over another club’s chairman when he is told that Arsene Wenger is on line one.

I would not actually be too surprised if Wenger did make another swoop for a striker before the season starts. Giroud and Podolski will settle in to the Premier league pretty quickly, but that still leaves the Gunners dangerously short of cover. I do not consider Chamakh as reliable cover. The one constant in the additions that Arsenal have made this summer is that they came cheaper than most people would value them at.

Llorente is rumoured to be available at about half of his buy out clause, so you never know.

Arsenal linked with a bid for another Celtic star

Posted on August 08, 2012 by admin

As Arsenal finally secured the signing of Santi Cazorla from Malaga yesterday, many pundits have been predicting that Wenger’s next target is Nuri Sahin from Real Madrid or the Celtic defender/midfielder Victor Wanyama, but today it has been revealed by the Daily Mail that the Chief Arsenal scout Steve Rowley is recommending that Wenger moves for Wanyama’s midfield team-mate at Celtic, Ki Sung-yeung.

The South Korean has been extremely impressive at the Olympics and scored the final penalty that knocked out Team GB in the penalty shoot-out, but had already come to the attention of many top Premiership clubs for his excellent form at Celtic in the last couple of years.

He cost the Scottish giants just 2million GBP when he arrived from Seoul in 2009 at just 20 years of age, and has progressed so much since then that he is now valued at around 9million GBP. His size and strength makes him look like he would easily be able to handle the rigours of the Premier League if given the chance to step up.

Last season he improved his confidence going forward and contributed six goals in 30 league appearances for the Hoops and is highly experienced in the Korean international side as well, having played for them 45 times already over the last 4 years.

Wenger may be a little wary of bringing in another South Korean after the failed experiment with Chung-You Park, but at least Ki has extensive experience of British football.

Who thinks that Ki would be a good signing for Arsenal?

Another striker leaving Arsenal

Posted on July 13, 2012 by admin

19-year old Benik Afobe is not a forward that Arsene Wenger wants to get rid of like Nicklas Bendtner, Carlos Vela or Marouane Chamakh. Wenger and the player himself know that he is not yet ready to step up to the Arsenal first team. That is why Arsenal are going to let him join a club in the Championship this season.

Birmingham City are the favourites to sign the striker on loan, as their manager Lee Clark has already signed him once when he was the manager of Huddersfield. During his time at the club he appeared in 32 games and scored 8 goals. He was also named as Man of the Match four times in a row.

Afobe has had a great career at youth level, being Arsenal’s under-18 player of the year in 2010. He has represented England at under-16, under-17 and under-18 levels, scoring 21 goals in his 34 games.

Arsenal had to see off interest from Barcelona when they offered the youngster a professional contract and he was on his way to setting the Premier league alight until he suffered a knee injury last summer. After missing most of the season, Afobe went to Reading and made three appearances for them.

Wenger wants the player to get back on track this season and playing competitive football for Birmingham will hopefully do the trick. We could do with another striker soon.

Djourou confirms Arsenal stay and wants another chance….

Posted on July 11, 2012 by admin

The Switzerland international defender Johann Djourou’s agent told us all that his client had some meetings lined up with some Italian clubs and it has been rumoured that he was close to a move to Napoli, after his international manager Otto Hitzfeld stated that he needed to play more regular first team football to retain his place for his country.

But Djourou himself has yet again re-iterated his desire to remain loyal to Arsenal and fight for a place in the Gunners first team. “Naturally. Hitzfeld wants his players to be able to get game time at their respective clubs. I understand that completely,” Djourou said.

When asked if that meant that he had to leave Arsenal, he replied: “No.”

“Arsenal have chosen to extend my contract because they’re counting on me.

“I did have a bad spell. However, I’m convinced that I will get another another chance and that I will grab that chance.”

To be fair to Djourou, he was often played out of position for Arsenal last season when given a chance, but he has rarely reproduced his early promising form even at centre-back. At least he is loyal to Arsenal and perhaps we should be lenient on him as he will only ever be a squad player anyway. And also he is putting his club before his country for a change….
