Just Arsenal Fans

Now I know I am going to be thoroughly lambasted by the Arsene Knows Best brigade, but I have been reliably informed that it was Arsenal that brokered the deal with Barcelona for their Cameroonian midfielder when the Catalans expressed an interest.

Song himself has never said anything against the club or Arsene Wenger in all the years he was at Arsenal, and their is no doubt that he was extremely helpful in getting Robin Van Persie so many goals last season and seems to have finally emerged into being an excellent playmaker.  Read more...

The future is looking bright, to say the least – By Luke Shephard

The recent news that Serge Gnabry, the fantastic German winger, was travelling with the Arsenal squad to face Koln has made me think. How much young talent actually is there at Arsenal? I mean, there has always been people saying “The future looks bright for Arsenal” as they always appear to have a bunch of young players pushing for places in the first team, but the numbers of young players now is just ridiculous.  Read more...

I am sorry to say that JustArsenal.com has been down for the last 24 hours as the current server is simply not big enough to cope with our amount of readers.

SUMMER SAGAS – PART II by Inderbir

Lets take a look at the summer so far  Read more...

The Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach have confirmed that they are definitely in the bidding for Olivier Giroud, but are at pains to say that they are in competition with Arsenal, amongst others, for the Montpellier hitman.

He is lucky to have at least three teams in the Champions League next season to choose from, although in the Bwin Betting both Montpellier and Monchengladbach are both priced at 100/1 while Arsenal are only 18/1.

The Borussia Mönchengladbach director of sport, Max Eberl, said in Bild: “We remain true to our policy that we do not throw our money out the window. The problem in our negotiations is that we are in competition with clubs like Arsenal and top clubs in Germany.”  Read more...

England’s Euro campaign is about to start, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was one of Hodgson’s main men in the pre-tournament friendlies, proving that he wasn’t called to the national team just to make up the numbers.

The Ox had ups and downs, and especially when he played as a starter against Belgium, we could see the raw talent the 18-year-old has got, but we could also see that he still lacks a few features. The Gunner had some excellent runs, and the Belgian defenders had no option at times than to wipe the floor with him because he was just too fast to stop.  Read more...

Arsenal’s new first team coach Neil Banfield was effusive in his praise for young Francis Coquelin this week sharing that he felt the Frenchman had what it takes to make it big at Arsenal.

Assessing the performance of some of Arsenal’s up and coming youngsters on Arsenal Player, Banfield said: “I think Francis has done excellently. He has come over from France and settled in great, played ever so well and won the FA Youth Cup in 2009. He has developed into a multi-positional player. He has played at right back, and in midfield. He is very strong, and the future is bright for him. He has done ever so well in the first team.  Read more...

Is Van Persie Too Old For Arsenal? by Neill

Arsenal’s captain Robin Van Persie is still unsure about his contract situation and even though the deal he has with the Gunners is due to expire next summer, the Dutch has yet confirmed his stay (or leave).

Robin Van Persie was advised by his former colleague Cesc Fabregas earlier this season to leave if he wants to leave, because at 28, this might be his last chance of playing at another club (a supposedly bigger one).  Read more...

Kalou: Would He Really be That Bad a Signing by JTArsenal

Just like many Arsenal fans, I was worried when I heard that Kalou was being linked to us. It seemed like signing another under-performing striker was exactly the opposite of what we needed to improve. The case is still the same, I will hastily add. Adding another to the ever increasing list of under-performing strikers at the Emirates currently would be a pointless move. However hopefully players like Bendtner, Chamakh and Park will be offloaded this summer leaving some space for a player like Kalou to slot in. And after taking a look at some of his stats, I feel he will be able to provide more depth to the squad than I initially thought.  Read more...

What about a Little Experience?? by Khalil

Antonio Di Natale. One of the most feared strikers in all of Europe, he has been at the forefront of Udinese’s success over the last 8 years and is one of the most prolific strikers in Serie A. Di Natale is 34 years old and whilst this may not be a typical Arsenal signing, statistics based on his performance will show why he is an absolute bargain.  Read more...
