Transfer Rumors 2013 – Arsenal After David Villa, Victor Valdes & Alexis Sanchez
After a couple of seasons in which Arsenal have seen Barcelona take away two of their best players without really putting up much of a fight, they plan on doing the same thing to the Spanish club, although with players who are a bit more unsettled at the Nou Camp, aiming to purchase David Villa, Victor Valdes and Alexis Sanchez for next season.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Arsenal & Chelsea After Wonderkid Isaiah Brown
It’s never easy having a 16-year old talent, knowing that the bigger clubs are out there to snatch him away from you. West Brom have that “problem” with the talented Isaiah Brown, so far only playing for the side’s U-21 team. While they’re still hoping he’ll sign a professional contract very soon, both Arsenal and Chelsea are waiting in line to try and sign him for a reduced fee

Real Madrid – Xabi Alonso Doesn’t Want a New Contract
By the time the current deal Xabi Alonso has with Real Madrid expires, he’ll be 33, probably a bit (or more) off his prime. It still doesn’t mean he won’t be a coveted player by almost every top club and able-paying team in the world, although a return to the English Premier League, specifically Liverpool, seems like something that theoretically seems like the most plausible scenario.

Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere Isn’t That Important Right Now
Of all the signings Arsene Wenger made last summer, the return of Jack Wilshere after more than a year off the pitch might have been his best, but the way Arsenal completely submit to his talents and his dominance in the middle of the pitch when he really shouldn’t be playing that much sometimes does more harm than good, meanwhile cancelling out players like Santi Cazrola, Mikel Arteta or anyone else who likes to play through the middle.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Arsenal, Chelsea & Manchester United After Asmir Begovic
The best way to put it – none of the top English sides are really pleased with what they have at goal, which might mean we’ll see Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United give signing Asmir Begovic a go this summer, with Stoke ready to part ways with its Bosnian goalkeeper, knowing the financial windfall it will cushion the pain of losing an excellent player.

Arsenal FC – Santi Cazrola Continues to Stand Out
He didn’t score, but once again, his work rate and decisions on both ends of the pitch put him a level above the rest of the team. Santi Cazorla keeps pushing Arsenal forward, like he did in the midweek away win, giving the team the kind of bite that was lacking for quite some time with his relentlessness, that might suffice for a place in the Champions League when the season is over.

Arsenal FC – Santi Cazorla Woke Up Too Late
All of Arsenal showed up at the wrong time, a little bit too late. Santi Cazorla looked like the player he was earlier this season, with an all-around great effort, making up for the absence of Jack Wilshere, but it was simply not enough, because one match, one impressive away win doesn’t take away from years of mediocrity and decline.

Champions League – Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Predictions
Any hope of a comeback? Not too many believe in it, as it seems, carrying a two goal deficit into an away match against the best defense in Europe. Bayern Munich seem to be as good as clear in the quarterfinals, while Arsenal are torn between waiting for a miracle and their own problems in the Premier league.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Arsenal Interested in Ashley Williams
Regardless of the truth in the rumors about an impressive shortlist being lined up at Arsenal for next season, with the chances of reaching the Champions League slowly but surely drifting away, the name of Ashley Williams of Swansea is one that often comes up in connection with the team’s failing defense.

Arsenal FC – That’s What You Get for Olivier Giroud
Arsenal have more than just one problem and frankly, Olivier Giroud isn’t the worst of them. Arsene Wenger trapped in a concept that hasn’t worked for years, ownership that wants profit over anything and a squad that simply isn’t good enough to reach the goals expected from the club, by fans or the front office.
