Oli G needs some Va-Va-Voom

4 appearances - 0 goals. That is all the papers are focussing on. 

Not the fact that Arsenal as a team are streets ahead of where they were last season. This time last year, the Gunners had shipped 10 goals (8 of which occured at Old Trafford - a debut to forget for The Ox), seen their new signing red carded on his debut and barely squeeked past Swansea 1-0.

As with every summer of Arsenal transfer activity, pre-season has been marred by rumblings of a contract dispute involving a major player. Following on from the lead of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas before him in voicing their displeasure with a perceived lack of ambition in Arsene Wenger’s choice to use the Emirates coffers with frugality, this time round it is Robin Van Persie, scorer of 37 goals in his most recent season, to deny the Gunners his commitment to the cause as the Dutchman sees trophies and medals as a more attractive proposition.
