They wanted to also see the football club successful after the game.

I just want to thank my team-mates for the effort, my manager for the support and hopefully we can build on this and win against Swansea (in the Premier League on Sunday). We had many chances to finish it off much earlier but it seems to be like it a lot this year at the Emirates. At least we won, we are through and it was a good result after the disappointment of the Fulham game.”

Arteta prepared well just for Arsenal. The football player tried. The football player also delivered. Ignasi Miquel also tried. The football player even chased after a clean sheet. Arsenal just won. Supporters of the football club seemed happy. The football club won even against Leeds United. However, Arsenal would still need to win also against other football clubs.

Wenger Still Handling Arsenal Well

maryann — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:54:09 +0000

Stan Kroenke heard about the issue on the spending power of Arsenal but was not worried despite of learning about it and it was also because of Arsene Wenger and his good management of the football club. For the shareholder on the football club board, despite of the problem, there was no need to be troubled because Wenger will still be there and will just continue to provide such supervision that will also really help the football club survive.

Kroenke said: “Anybody who is a sportsman would rather compete on the basis of intellect and cleverness rather than being able to throw money against the wall. Anyone can go and buy a player, but it takes a lot more to identify that player, develop that player and position him. You look at Arsene as a good example. He has been here 15 years and you look at what the club had as assets and revenues – it’s fantastic the growth that has occurred. For the long term stability and an approach to excellence, I think that’s unsurpassed really. That’s my view.”

According to the reports, the problem on the spending power of Arsenal also made some footballers of the football club depart. It was said that there were certain footballers who left and they were all good for the supporters. However, Kroenke clarified that they just really needed to leave, it was best for them to. For the shareholder, everyone must be understandable enough when about them just walking away.

Kroenke, in addition, said: “I think you know that one of the players who departed had nothing to do with money. There was a specific personal circumstance that happened. Maybe I am saying too much. That has nothing to do with money. The other player departed for money. Well then, you get into an evaluation. That’s where being smart and not being smart comes in.”

Koscielny Improving While With Arsenal

maryann — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:18:59 +0000

It must be only right for Laurent Koscielny to decide to be with Arsenal when the footballer also thought of his improvements while still with the football club. He wished to be with the football club and just started to work hard to also be better and not regret it. He must be happy with what he also tried to do.

Koscielny said: “I feel I’m in the best form of my life. I’ve improved a lot. I keep working on the basics, my control and my passes. I’m also more rigorous. I make less fouls and get less booked as I needed time to adapt to England. I also cope better with the pressure of playing in a very big club. And I know I can improve even more.”

Koscielny also struggled on the first day of being with Arsenal. The footballer needed to adjust with the rules and all but because of Arsene Wenger and the other footballers of the manager he was able to do it properly and survived. He must be also thankful to all of them who just provided the support that he was in need of. He was also part of the game against Chelsea and showed he really had the improvements while with the football club. He was proud to be there and was even able to make all of the supporters see that he truly achieved them.

Koscielny, in addition, said: “Chelsea was one of the best performances of my career, along with the win against Barcelona at home last season. Most importantly it’s a win that will bring the team together even more and will bring great confidence. There is a new team spirit at the club. We are all fighting for each other, we are all united. Everybody defends. If you just defend with the four defenders, it’s difficult.”

Park Ready for Starting Spot

maryann — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:27:25 +0000

Reports revealed that Park Chu-Young seemed ready for a starting spot also according to Arsene Wenger. The footballer performed very well in the game against Bolton Wanderers. And indeed, for delivering accordingly in the match he looked prepared for it according to the manager.

Wenger said: “For me, I’m very pleased with his performance. He showed intelligent link play and the quality of his goal was exceptional. His finishing is absolutely fantastic. For me he has shown tonight that he is a very good player. He’s ready to play for league games, compared to the player who played in the first league game, where he was a bit inhibited; tonight he played with freedom and showed what a good player he is.”

Thomas Vermaelen also returned and seemed in good condition too according to Wenger. The footballer also performed properly in the same game. But despite his performance in the match, he still looked unprepared for the next game. He needed to deal with certain problem in his calves and may still need to even in the next match. But he may be able to also be completely done with it and be ready for the game. And his supporters can just wish that he will also really get to.

Wenger, in addition, said: “He did very well but picked up a calf problem, I hope it’s not too bad. He will be a bit short maybe for Saturday, I don’t know yet what I will do, we’ll have to test him tomorrow, it didn’t look too bad. He has been out for so long time, he had only one training session yesterday with the team. We don’t think it’s a calf strain, just tight calves, because he has not played in months. He wanted to come off but I did not want to take him off.”

Barton Talking About Issues Involving Arsenal

maryann — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 07:50:58 +0000

It was revealed by the reports that Joey Barton already decided to talk about the issues involving Arsenal. The footballer wished to first discuss about the one something to do with him not being wanted by Peter Hill-Wood. For him, it was hard in a way to understand the reason for the denial.

Barton said: “Peter Hill-Wood said they never had any serious interest in me, I just don’t understand. The dialogue between him and his coaching staff has broken down so severely that he doesn’t know what’s going on at his football club. Fair enough if I was claiming to sign for Real Madrid or Barcelona or Manchester City or Manchester United, but I don’t think it’s that big of a shout to say Arsenal were after me because it’s definitely a club in – what shall I say – transition.”

Barton must have found it necessary to also finally talk about the issues involving Arsenal. And the footballer, just also wanted to reveal his thoughts on the current position of the football club in the big league. For him, it was also quite difficult to comprehend how Arsenal ended up having such position.

Barton, in addition, said: “Financially, they have put themselves in a great position but I don’t know what’s happening there. I don’t understand. You look at Arsenal and you think, ‘Well, they obviously have an abundance of money’. Their stadium is almost paid for. I would say, financially, they are the most well-run club in the league, barring Manchester City. It’s nothing to do with me because it’s not my football club but, even so, I like to see those great English sides do well. I remember watching the Champions League and Arsenal against Olympiakos at home was a shoo-in, four or five-nil win for Arsenal, but they made hard work of it.”

Redknapp Found Tottenham Hotspur Deserving of Victory

maryann — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 09:49:38 +0000

Reports revealed that Harry Redknapp found Tottenham Hotspur worthy of a victory after also doing very well in the second-half in the game against Arsenal. For the manager, it was only right that the football club be able to enjoy a win also for delivering most especially in the said part of the match that happened just recently.

Redknapp said: “We deserved the win; we were excellent after the break and had all the good chances throughout the half. We had got the goal before half-time and to be honest I nearly made the change at half-time to thicken us up in midfield by bringing an extra one on, but I thought I would continue and see how things went. Then, unfortunately they got off to a better start in the second half and got the goal. They were in the ascendancy at that point and watching the game you may have thought we were in trouble, but then we really upped it; we got better and stronger and really took over things in the second half.”

And for Redknapp, Walker must be also worthy of a commendation after playing very well throughout the game against Arsenal. For the manager, the footballer can be considered deserving of an admiration for just performing accordingly from the beginning to the end of the match on Sunday. The footballer just delivered in all parts of the said game and also only for Tottenham Hotspur. He was very good, indeed, truly helpful. He was one to also really have in the match. He showed again how good he can be and with him also doing so, his fans must be very happy. Indeed, he can be also that good.

Redknapp said: “Kyle Walker is a great attacking full-back, he just loves to get forward. It was a great strike from Kyle.”

Panic Buying Not an Option for Wenger

maryann — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 08:30:02 +0000

It was revealed by the reports that panic buying will not be an option for Arsene Wenger. It was said that it will not be given a try by the boss and this despite of lack of transfer activity that he and his football club Arsenal will most likely continue to experience. Panic buying can be an option to also try but for him will also not help.

Wenger said: “Ideally I would have finished all (our business) but it doesn’t work like that. We work very hard, we are non-stop working throughout the summer. I am positive because we have good quality and a style of play that is known by the players. So we want to add not quality but super quality.”

Panic buying will not help Wenger to have some really good footballers. And it was said that it will not be something that will be tried by the boss and this in spite of the problem on the transfer activity that he and Arsenal will most probably still have to deal with. It will not be a good option, one that will not be for them to try. And maybe, there will also be no need to end up going for it. Maybe, it will also not be an option for him to really try with him also working on the lack of transfer activity well.

Wenger said: “You have to identify the players, agree with clubs to get them out, agree the fee. That means they have to agree with you and they have to find another player before they release their players. In England, it is a lot more difficult to move during the summer because some people are not there. It’s all kinds of things you meet during the transfer market. But I can understand the impatience of people.”

Football Transfer Rumours 22 July 2011

Betting Fixed Odds — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 22:53:11 +0000

Chelsea is set to make a final offer for Tottenham’s Luka Modric for £35 million. In addition, they are looking to sign a midfielder from Barcelona – Oriol Romeu.

Assuming he will pass his medical exam on Monday, Alexis Sanchez will be with his new club, the European Champions.

Arsenal has stated that they are indeed looking to sign a defender despite the fact that the Gunners have yet to sign one after having been connected with a whole string of them. Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wenger has eveyr intention on signing a defender p[rior to the start of the new season; however, he isn’t letting out any names. They have been linked with Gary Cahill from Bolton, Chris Samba from Blackburn as well as Phil Jagielka from Everton but none have prospered far.

Malaga has made a €20 million offer to Villarreal for winger Santiago Cazorla; however, that table offer has been turned down. Villarreal has reportedly said that they’ll need to make an improved offer if they want the Spain international.

Luisao, defender for Benfica, is reportedly wanting out of his current club – especially now that there is interest for him from Paris Saint-Germain. Supposedly, Antonio Carraca gave Luisao a call while he was visiting home to see if he would be available for Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier match. He was probably shocked to hear his answer – Luisao said that he wouldn’t be playing with the club again. Benfica is looking at the possibility of Eliaquim Mangala from Standard Liege and Angelo Ogbonna from Torino to take his spot in the club should he decide to leave. Luisao has been with Benfica since 2003 and Benfica reportedly wants at least €10 million for him.

Benfica seems to possibly have interest in Spaniard Jonathan Soriano of Barcelona B. He wants to achieve a permanent switch between clubs and would like to go somewhere that he can advance seeing as how he hasn’t been able to make his way up into the main squad of Barcelona. Aside from Benifca, although they are heavily favored in this deal, Red Bull Salzburg has also been included in talks of signing the 25-year-old reportedly.

Roma have officially completed the free transfer of Gabriel Heinze, who has been a former member of Real Madrid as well as Manchester United, from Marseille. The 33-year-old defender’s contract has yet to be disclosed; however, it is likely to be at least for a year.

In other news for Roma today, they have purchased striker Bojan Krkic from Barcelona. The transfer fee is at €12 million and Barcelona will have the option at the end of the 2012-2013 season to buy Krkic back for a fee of €13 million. However, if the Italian giants want to keep that move from happening, they’ll be shelling out around €40 million overall for the 20-year-old youngster.

Midfielder Arturo Vidal is officially with Juventus after a deal worth €10.5 million went through from Bayer Leverkusen. He passed his medical exam on Friday and is now with the Italian club with a five-year contract. Depending on his performance over the next five years, there may be an additional €2 million in transfer fees.

Carlos Tevez still wants to leave his current club of Manchester City. He was set to go to Corinthians; however, the club pulled out of the move worth £40 million due to the fact that a deal wouldn’t be reached prior to the end of the summer transfer window. There’s no reason other clubs won’t show interest soon as he is one of the best players. The Argentina international has been linked to clubs such as Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea. However, the interest is more due to the fact that they have the funds available to pay for Tevez, who has a very high price tag.

Arsenal made a £12 million offer for centre-back Phil Jagielka from Everton but it was rejected. They have been told that it is going to take £18 million if they have any intention on signing the England international. The hefty price tag is likely due to the fact that Jagielka just signed an extension of four years earlier this year. Therefore, if the Gunners really want the 28-year-old, they’ll need to give some cash.

David Beckham has made it clear that he has no intentions on returning to the Premier League unless he can join Manchester United. Everyone thought that he would join Tottenham earlier this year in January but the transfer fell through near the conclusion of the winter transfer window. His contract is set to expire with MLS this year and can’t see himself ever playing against England’s biggest club. He thinks that everything happens for a reason – meaning that he didn’t go to Tottenham for a reason, which he believes is so that the he can always be known as a United player.

Metalist Kharkiv has shown interest in Jose Sosa, an attacker from Napoli. He came to Napoli last summer on a four-year contract from Bayern Munich and has yet to make much of an impression. At one time, he was expected to make his way to Argentina, but with the Ukranian club’s interest in the 26-year-old, he may be headed there and the Europa League thanks to the club’s third place finish in the Ukranian Premier League last season.

Jose Manuel Flores, defender for Genoa, is headed to Mallorca on a one-year loan. At any time during that one-year loan period, Mallorca will have the option to buy the 24-year-old defender. Real Betis had apparently shown interest in Flores as well but were unable to sign him due to financial constraints.

Wenger Keeping Fabregas and Nasri

maryann — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 08:58:48 +0000

It must be true that Arsene Wenger has been determined to make the two very talented footballers, Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, stay only at Emirates Stadium and play just for Arsenal. The boss must be also really thinking of their possible departure with other football clubs seriously trying to make their exit really happen. But he must be also really trying not to and just deal with how he and everyone else will not make their departure take place despite the efforts of others. It must be true that he will just love being able to keep them.

Wenger said: “Our position is always the same, we want to keep Cesc and I will fight as hard as I can to keep him. Samir Nasri is exactly the same. We will do everything we can to keep him.”

Well, Wenger has been also determined to always have the strongest possible squad and therefore should do everything just to make Fabregas and Nasri stay only at Emirates Stadium and play just for Arsenal. He must be also considering not always having it with their possible departure also because of other football clubs seriously trying to make their exit really happen. But it must be true that he must also trying to just be positive also for their good most especially if considering the pre-season tour of Malaysia which has been also very important for him and everyone else, for them all. It must be also hard for him to but should just do so if also thinking of the success of the football club.

Wenger said: “We will take the strongest possible squad. Fabregas will not travel because he still has a small muscular problem. He will stay and practice here. There is a doubt about (Emmanuel) Eboue, who has done his calf.”
