According to the Daily Express, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Italian giants Juventus. The news will come as no surprise to anybody, as the move has been mooted for the past month or so.

Arsenal were reportedly attempting to sell the midfielder to the Bianconeri in the January transfer window to claw some money back for the midfielder. However, that was always an unlikely prospect.

Ramsey such a frustrating player

I have to admit I find Aaron Ramsey such a frustrating player to watch. The Wales international has undoubted talent and can be such an influential player. However, he has a tendency to be inconsistent.  .......Read more here.....

The transfer of Denis Suarez from Barcelona to Arsenal is one step closer after the two clubs held talks with a positive outcome, the Mirror have reported.

Manager Unai Emery is extremely keen on Suarez coming to the Emirates this month. However, the manager is still facing several difficult circumstances in which the deal needs to be completed.  .......Read more here.....

According to various newspaper reports, including the Independent, Arsenal’s head of recruitment Sven Mislintat is set to quit his position at the club. The German has been in the position just over a year after arriving at the club in November 2017 from Dortmund. Reports suggest that former Gunners midfielder Edu

A transfer supremo

Mislintat was labelled as some sort of transfer supremo when he arrived at the club. He built an excellent reputation for himself at Dortmund, helping to spot many of the stars of Jurgen Klopp’s team that thrived earlier in the decade.  .......Read more here.....

Cardiff (H)

They’ve just got to win this and there are no two ways about it. Cardiff have surprised a lot of people so far this season as they’re still right in the hunt for survival, and we’re anticipating them giving Arsenal a really tough game in this one. Unfortunately for Bluebirds fans that isn’t quite going to be enough, especially considering that Arsenal are much, much stronger at home than they are away from home. It’s going to be closer than a lot of fans would like, but they’ll manage to get the job done.

Looking ahead can be a pretty difficult thing to do when you’re in a tricky spot. At this moment in time I think it’s fair to say that the Gunners are, in fact, in a bit of a tricky spot. It’s not like they’ve had a terrible season by any stretch of the imagination, but there are things that need to be worked out and changed. On another day we’ll be happy to talk about those things, but for now, let’s just focus on what’s important: the games themselves.  .......Read more here.....

Sven Mislintat conducted a great project at Borussia Dortmund, and his work is still bearing fruit for the German side as they currently top the Bundesliga. A year ago, he moved to Arsenal where he hoped he could produce a similar level of success, helping to run a project of revitalization of a club where one was overdue.

However, it seems it hasn’t gone nearly as well at the Emirates as it had at the Signal Iduna Park for him. Having overseen the end of Arsene Wenger’s 22-year rein and the appointment of Unai Emery, former CEO Ivan Gazidis first raised his anchor and left to join AC Milan. Now, according to Independent, Mislintat could be following him through the exit door soon.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has announced his retirement from playing football professionally.

In a post on Twitter, the experienced Czech international revealed his intention and gave his reasons. He said:

“This is my 20th season as a professional and it has been 20 years since I signed my first professional contract, so it feels like the right time to announce that I will retire at the end of this season. Having played 15 years in the Premier League, and won every single trophy possible, I feel like I have achieved everything I set out to achieve. I will continue to work hard at Arsenal to hopefully win one more trophy this season, then I am looking forward to seeing what life holds for me off the pitch.”  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal’s veteran goalkeeper Petr Cech has announced that he will retire from playing at the end of the season. The Czech goalkeeper has been in and out of favour this season at Arsenal after the summer arrival of German international Bernd Leno. Cech has played in the Premier League for 15 years in spells at Arsenal and previously Chelsea.

A top goalkeeper in his Chelsea days

When he was at Chelsea Cech was considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He played a crucial part in some of the most historic moments, including winning the Premier League title four times and also the Champions League.  .......Read more here.....

It’s rare that you’re faced with games that could define your season this early on in the campaign, but that certainly appears to be the case in this instance. Arsenal Football Club have had a rollercoaster ride of a season already under the guidance of Unai Emery, and even that may be an understatement. It hasn’t been a disaster by any stretch of the imagination but if you offered fans the chance to change a few things, then we have no doubt in our mind that they’d bite your hand off.  .......Read more here.....

Like most Arsenal fans it’s pretty infuriating to stop and talk about Stan Kroenke, so we’re going to keep this as short as is humanly possible. The billionaire American has often been dubbed as one of the biggest problems at Arsenal Football Club ever since he took over, and there aren’t all too many loyal Gunners that are going to disagree with that. Sure, he has other investments, but if he’s going to try and run a football club then he could at least take the time to do it properly.  .......Read more here.....
