Kaboul To Arsenal Wouldn't Be So Bad - Or Would It?


The Daily Star reports that Tottenham could lose defender Younes Kaboul to arch rivals Arsenal, on a free transfer in the summer. But these switches are no longer unthinkable.

It has been a very up and down season for Arsenal strikers this season. One minute they are being applauded by the fans, the next they are getting slaughtered. However, they seem to face more criticism than admiration. Olivier Giroud is certainly the most prominent in this argument and is the most disussed by the Gunners faithful.
Arsenal are reported to be facing stiff competition from bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of striker Josip Drmic who plays for German side Nurnberg.
It's Arsenal's annual 'everyone is injured' stage of the season, when it seems like the injury list is longer than the list of those actually available. Unavailable to the Gunners are, Laurent Koscielny, who was recently added to the list, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, Abou Diaby and Theo Walcott. On closer inspection, that's five first team players on the sidelines and one - Abou Diaby - the forever injured player.
In the summer, Tottenham Hotspur brought in too many players who had not experienced the pace and intensity of the English Premier League, in my opinion. The side is still lacking its own identity; although they did display a rare show of character they have lacked in recent weeks as they came back from two goals down to win 3-2 at home to Southampton this weekend. It is imperative that they now strengthen their squad with players who have proven Premier League experience, just like Sunday’s match-winner Gylfi Sigurdsson.
It is difficult to fully comprehend all the incidents that have happened both on and off the pitch in the past eight months at Tottenham Hotspur.
Two days after Arsenal's victory over north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, the club have announced that Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Gedion Zelalem have all put pen to paper on new contracts. Many media outlets have run this story in the past few hours, but the Guardian was one of the first big newspapers to pick up on it.
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has figured in several newspapers this morning, being snapped having a "secret" meeting with agent Muzzi Ozcan, who is known to operate mostly on behalf of Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Arsenal face Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby at White Hart Lane today in one of the biggest games of the weekend. Then, when that's over, we are being treated to Manchester United's clash with arch rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood had a rant last night in a press conference, accusing opposite number, Jorge Jesus, of lacking class during Tottenham’s 3-1 defeat in the Europa League. After Benfica’s Luisao had scored their third goal at White Hart Lane, the Benfica boss responded by sticking three fingers up at Tim Sherwood, waving goodbye.
Andros Townsend has urged Spurs boss Tim Sherwood to play him on a regualr basis ahead of the World Cup this summer. Townsend has not played a full 90 minutes since returning from injury back in February, but here's why he should go to Rio regardless.
Chelsea took advantage of teams around them having a weekend off from Premier League proceedings by thumping a wary Tottenham side 4-0 at Stamford Bridge. Jose Mourinho is still insisting Manchester City and Arsenal are favourites ahead of his Chelsea side though, who now find themselves a whole seven points clear at the summit of the Premier League.
Arsenal will be without the services of their midfielder Jack Wilshere for the next six weeks after the 22-year-old fractured his foot during England's 1-0 narrow victory over Denmark.
This was supposed to be their season. The season that they ended the eight year drought, and the season when the empty trophy cabinets will finally be filled with some sort of silverware. What looked promising for the first five months is fast turning into despair. In fact, it is looking like a fight for fourth between them and their north London rivals Tottenham yet again. Come May it will be 9 years without any trophies for Arsenal, and that's not good enough.
