Playmaker Hints At Arsenal Move - Why Wenger Should Forget About Making A Move

It's a common aspiration of many children across the world to become a professional footballer. Arsenal have an illustrious history, rich with trophies and success. Despite going nearly nine seasons without such glory, they are still a hugely attractive club due to the stars that they have in their ranks and the fact that they are always in the Champions League.

Ozil Must Not Start Against Stoke - Here's Why

Mesut Ozil was completely left out of the Arsenal squad when the Gunners hosted Sunderland last weekend. There was conflicting reports surrounding the reason as to why Ozil was left out of the squad with some suggesting that he picked up an injury while others were saying he was being rested. Whatever the reason, he was left out of the squad and the team, as a whole, played better and won 4-1. I'm not for one minute suggesting that Arsenal are stronger without Ozil, but Arsenal did play with more energy and were more productive in attack.

5 Signs That Arsenal Are The Real Deal This Season - Part 1

In my last article I explained how the media set up Arsenal's season in their own minds and that they didn't expect much to happen. Exit from the Champions League, struggle early but a late pick up in form lands them in the Champions League but the minimal squad depth made some journalists jump to conclusions that the Gunners may not even make the Champions League next season. At the moment, they are defying the odds and are having a great season. But what's important to know is that this is no fluke - Arsene Wenger has found a tactic, a team, and a balance that can help Arsenal win the league. Here are five reasons why I think Arsenal can win the league. Hindsight will tell me not to do this just in case, but this is my opinion now and it's not likely to change soon.

8 Premier League Players Whose Contracts Are Nearly Up

I've recently looked at free agents who are available at the moment which is all well and good, but I'd like to take a look at potential free agents next summer who I'm sure managers are more interested in as well. Some of the players on this list may surprise you as you may be shocked that they haven't been offered a new contract yet, but they are technically free agents next summer at the moment. Things could change and many of these players may sign a new deal, but if not then there are plenty of bargains to be had.

5 La Liga players Premier League clubs should look at

La Liga is often rich with players that perhaps the common football fan hasn't heard of but could make a massive impact in the Premier League should they choose to move. I'm picking players which some of you may not have heard of because, as with the case of Michu, it's important for us and clubs to look beyond the big three Spanish sides. This enables managers to find players that will benefit their club without having to break the bank to get them. The players I'm going to talk about have been very good this season for their respective clubs and have consistently churned out impressive performances.

5 Arsenal youth players that could make the step up

Arsene Wenger has often been accused of breathing new life into the team too often and that he buys too many young players when what Arsenal really need is a good experienced player. This season, however, is different.

A closer look at Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus

Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus is one of the five players I mentioned yesterday in regards to who Arsenal should be targeting in January and I discussed why his transfer to Arsenal wouldn't be as ridiculous as some people make out it would be. A quick summary for those who didn't read it yesterday. Tomas Rosicky is his idol, he supports Arsenal, he speaks very highly of Jack Wilshere, the arrival of Mesut Ozil and the German influence on the team in general.

The Importance Of Theo Walcott To Arsenal

I've been inspired by yesterday's post for my three video blogs for today because I love pointing out, and almost realising myself on some occasions, how important a player is to a team. Today I have a visual aid to assist me, and the player who I have chosen is Theo Walcott. The 24-year-old has been at the centre of criticism for most of his career at Arsenal after bursting on to the scene as a 16-year-old. The reason for this is, until last season, he was very inconsistent and fans started to worry that all of the potential he had as a 16-year-old was already reached by the age of 23/24. However, last season he proved many critics wrong by being Arsenal's top goal scorer with 14 goals. He also grabbed 12 assists in the Premier League also.

The Importance Of Tomas Rosicky To Arsenal

The shaggy looking 32-year-old Czech Republic international perhaps hasn't enjoyed the career he would have wanted at Arsenal, with all the injuries he's suffered since his arrival back in 2006 from Borussia Dortmund. Now, I've picked up on Rosicky's importance fairly early on but I haven't yet had the platform to write an article on my thoughts. But the time has come, so sit back and hear my thoughts as to why Rosicky is as important to Arsenal as any other player on the pitch. Unless you've already realised this of course - it's surprising the amount of people that haven't in all honesty.

Why Signing Mathieu Flamini Was A Wise Move For Arsenal

After looking at Yaya Sangogo in my previous article, I thought I'd have a closer look at Arsenal's French midfielder Mathieu Flamini. Now if your memory serves you well, you will remember the name Mathieu Flamini as the player had previously spent time in the Premier League. In fact, he spent his previous time with Arsenal, when the Gunners had a midfield which included Alex Hleb, Francesc Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky. This time round, though, the Frenchman will be playing alongside Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey to name a few. It's a change, yes, but the quality of players around him remains the same, if not better.
