Arsenal’s 2014/2015 Preseason


After many frustrating seasons to date, Arsenal fans can finally see the change they’ve been asking about time and time again. I personally believe the FA Cup win at the end of last season has been the reason for the change in operation and has re-lit the fire that once burned deep within Arsène Wenger. As we’ve all seen, Arsenal has once again become a premier destination for World Class talent with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy arriving this summer.


Let's Stand up for The Arsenal

Does it really matter that we drew to Southampton? Does it really matter that we dropped points on Tuesday? Does it really matter that we are now second in the EPL? No it does not since after all we are The Arsenal, one of the greatest clubs to ever set foot on a football pitch.

I was thinking about the current status of the club a few days ago and I came to a revelation. We are finally on our way to overcoming the adversity that has surrounded us for the past 8 seasons. It’s quite amazing actually; the fact that we are now considered a threat in the world of football again. Seeing as we were once the joke of the English Premier League and the Champions League, and now we have the chance to finally break the dreaded trophy-less curse.

What will we do without Walcott?

Now I know I’m a bit late on this, but I thought it would be appropriate to express my views on the Theo Walcott injury situation after contemplating my thoughts for a few days. As you all know, Theo Walcott was diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, an injury he sustained while playing against the Tottenham Hotspur in a 3rd round FA cup match. The match ended with a score of 2-0 in the Gunners favour, although the loss of Walcott for the remainder of the season certainly meant the enjoyment of victory was not felt for long. The young Englishman is expected to be out for around 6 months while his knee heals, leaving manager Arsène Wenger with a difficult situation.

My Top 5 Arsenal Targets

With the transfer window having been open for 3 days now, there has been much speculation as to who the Gunners may decide to pursue in order to bolster the options for the squad. Many think that the club are in need of a striker, some say defenders, some people are even saying the club need more midfielders. From my eyes, I believe that the club should mainly focus on attacking players, just to have a variety of options with the attacking man up front. There are 5 transfers in particular that I would love to see happen, even if they are unrealistic.
