Arsenal board Need to Inject Cash to Support Arteta or They Might as Well Accept a Mid Table Position Every Year

by The Highbury Flyer - 06/04/202124/04/2021

I don’t care how they do it and neither do you, but the Arsenal board has to invest properly this summer if they have any chance of challenging for top honours. Forget this self-sustaining model that they verbally peddle out regularly to justify their miserly ways, the fans are tired of

Goals, Goals, Goals : Arsenal Finally Deliver in The 4-1 Thrashing of Rapid Vienna in Presence of Supporters

by The Highbury Flyer - 05/12/2020

The Gunners welcomed back 2,000 supporters to the Emirates for the Arsenal vs Rapid Vienna game and at least, we could all look forward to some genuine crowd noises instead of the recorded loop with some poor guy charged with pressing the booing and cheering buttons. I’m not sure if this

Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Magalhaes to Arsenal

I’m literally licking my lips at the prospect of Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes (22) signing on the dotted line for Arsenal. The thought of him alongside William Saliba is something truly special and both could form the heart of Arsenal's defence for a decade. The price, reported to be £22m, is nothing

by The Highbury Flyer - 01/08/202001/08/2020

The Gunners' final game of the Premier League season yielded a win against Watford and three points, but Arsenal couldn’t provide a performance to finish the campaign in style.

Tactical Innovations, Set Piece Calamity and Ceballos’ late Flourish: Tactical Breakdown of Arsenal’s Nervy Win Over Sheffield United

by Gnaneshwar Rajan - 01/07/2020

Quite a game it was! I think we were expected to lose against a tactically innovative side like Sheffield United. Our last win at Bramall Lane was in a League Cup quarterfinal in 2007, with Eduardo scoring twice. And who can forget David Seaman’s incredible save in the last minutes

Olympiakos were right to feel hard done by in their Europa league first leg against Arsenal. The weather was as poor as the actual game and the gunners were worse in their finishing. They were saved by some kitchen sink defending and it’s fair to say that a 1-0 away

Mikel Arteta’s workload has been phenomenal to date. The former Arsenal captain took charge of a fractured club with no direction, which was full of disinterested players who had forgotten how to play and how to win. Not many coaches would have taken the job knowing that money would be

by The Highbury Flyer - 30/01/2020

Shkodran Mustafi’s time at Arsenal has been blighted by errors and unfavourable reviews, with the defender seemingly destined to leave the Emirates in either this transfer window or in the next. With his poor form and damaged reputation, it was always going to be difficult to move him on but then,

Worst in the Squad but Better Than the Best in the World, Mustafi’s Stats are Baffling yet Impressive

by The Highbury Flyer - 13/10/201913/10/2019

You may want to find a comfortable seat to recover from what you are about to read but recent stats of Shkodran Mustafi imply that he is Arsenal’s best defender and also one of the best in the World. I know, it makes little sense after watching Mustafi last season, continuously

Arsenal, gunners transfer news, Arsenal transfer window, transfer window

When every defender is finally fit, Unai Emery and Arsenal will have quite a problem to solve. Sokratis, Saliba, Holding, Chambers, Mustafi, Luiz, Mavropanos and possibly another addition to the Arsenal defense in the summer, means a surplus to requirements at the back. Not to mention those just under the radar

by The Highbury Flyer - 31/08/2019

Arsenal are becoming ruthless or so the indicators lead us to believe but amid all the trimming and flogging, they need just a few short months to rid themselves of the three most toxic players in their midst. They are Granit Xhaka, Mesut Ozil and Skhodran Mustafi. Ozil, Mustafi and Xhaka

Arsenal Offloading Players To Finance More Madness Before The Transfer Window Closes ?

by The Highbury Flyer - 07/08/2019

Sometimes transfers require one deal to facilitate another and in the case of Celtic’s Kieran Tierney, the sale of Krystian Bielik to Derby County for around £10m, will mean that Arsenal can, in theory at least, change to upfront amount they were going to offer the Scottish club. https://twitter.com/ArsenalAcademy/status/1157260281141182465?s=19 Now unless Celtic

A humongous problem for Arsenal this season has been their weak defence, much like it has been under Arsene Wenger. By defensive standards, they would rank somewhere among the bottom few teams on the Premier League table. Therefore, the reports that Arsenal manager Unai Emery is looking for a centre-back
