Is the january transfer window open already??+arsenal were Foursome.

Its only September and we are already being linked to moves in the transfer market.

The latest is Arsenal are ready to swoop on former gunner Matthew Upson and highly rated central midfielder Jack Collison from West ham.

Where do the media get this non stories from???

Wenger would never spend over 10m for a player over the age of 30.
Why would they even bother writing this nonsense??

And what do we make of Collison,
A very good player,but why would Arsenal need him when we have players like Ramsey,Coquelin and even young Jack can play there and many more like Frimpong,lansbury etc.

So i just don't get it.Do the media even watch whats going on at Arsenal.Lol

What a great day Saturday was,
Everything went to plan and even better Arsenal were in the mood while wigan looked like they hadn't left the coach yet.

We strolled the ball around nicely and what a header by Thomas Vermaelen.

What a buy this lad is and how about the 2nd goal.Dennis Bergkamp eat your heart out.
I think R.V.P got it right when he spoke about him.

Here's what was said:

"He is hard and played very strong on me physically and I was a little bit upset about that. So I told him in nice words!

"Now I'm happy he is on my side. In training everyone mixes up so I play against him. He is tough and it's good because I am training against proper defenders."
"The first one showed he is very, very strong from corners and free-kicks and that is very important for us"

"Even if we play badly we can always score from set-pieces.

"I would have been proud of his second goal.

"He is raised in Holland. I am not saying every Dutch player is good technically but when you are raised in Holland - especially at Ajax, Feyenoord or PSV - you are brought up getting the ball, moving it first touch, move again, pass, move.

"He was at Ajax since 15 so it is in his system for a long, long time."

Is it me or is there a dig at Kolo Toure in there???-I AM TRAINING AGAINST PROPER DEFENDERS??

Maybe I'm looking too deep into it???

Just goes to show what Tony Adams would know if he was the boss.
We would have missed out on a real class defender,
who seems to be a instant leader in the side.He has definitely gained that out of being captain of ajax and brought what he has learned to Arsenal.

He oozes class and what great feet he has for a defender.

Were there not grumbles between our own fans that Thomas was too small.
Goes to show what we know.
Vidic who???

And what a performance by Emmanuel Eboue.
Ok he is not every ones cup of tea,But what about his desire and drive that he is giving the team.He really linked the play up well and apart from his finishing and trying to copy the hand of god.
He very much looked the part in the Arsenal shirt.

See Eboue,If you muck in and stop all those crazy antics the fans will love you.
That's the way to get a standing ovation.Keep it up son.




Next up West Brom in the Carling cup.A time when we get to see some of the fringe players who need games and the very place to see the stars of the future.

I hope we line up something like this.

1.Mannone
2.Gibbs
3.Coquelin
4.Senderos
5.Bartley
6.Wilshere
7.Ramsey
8.Walcott/Merida(If availble)
9.Watt
10.barazite
11.Bendtner

I would like bendtner to play upfront,because he needs to get some goals and get his confidence up.Then we have the likes of Sunu,Randall,Frimpong(who i like a lot),Traore,Gilbert and who ever is Availible to Arsene.

The carling cup is a great way to see Arsenal live if you've never been before.
£10 to £20 tickets you cant go wrong.Its not a sell out yet,so grab yourself a ticket while you still can.

West brom are playing some good stuff at the moment and have been scoring bundles of goals lately.They seem to be a team who share there goals and not just relying on there strikers.Di Mateo seems to have them playing some very good football.
So we will need to come out and show how strong we are,because this will be a very good game i feel.

I feel West broms weakness has been at the back.They have shipped a lot of goals and been in some very high scoring matches.

So I'm going for a 3-1 win to the Arsenal.
I will add the team news as soon as i get it.
