Gabriel Paulista was allowed to join Valencia from Arsenal this summer, and the defender has come out to criticise his treatment before leaving North London.

Arsenal selling defender despite current crisis?
Arsenal are allowing Gabriel Paulista to join Valencia in a £10 Million deal supposedly, but are lacking options at present. The Gunners fielded a back three of Sead Kolasinac, Nacho Monreal and Rob Holding last Friday, and conceded three goals in a 4-3 thrilling opening match victory. The win would have been much the more comfortable […]
Injury crisis grows for Arsenal ahead of FA Cup final with Chelsea
Arsenal lost two players during the weekend’s win over Everton, and a third defender is now a strong doubt for the FA Cup final against Chelsea. The Gunners beat Everton 2-1 yesterday in the final Premier League fixture of the season, but that win was not enough to seal a place in the top four, and […]
Arsenal’s pointless win comes with a damning cost…
Arsenal’s win over Everton today proved to be pointless with no Champions League place earned, but the match has also cost us two of our defensive stars. We had to go all-out today for the win to have any chance of qualifying for next season’s elite European competition, but also needed either Liverpool not to […]
‘Holding better than Gabriel and Mustafi’ claims Arsenal legend
Ian Wright believes that Arsenal defender Rob holding deserves to be ahead of both Shkodran Mustafi and Gabriel Paulista. The Gunners signed both Mustafi and Holding last summer for contrasting values, with the former costing a whopping £35 Million, compared to only £2.5 Million for the young Englishman. The German international became an instant hit […]
Arsenal defender Gabriel puts Xmas celebrations on hold
Gabriel Paulista has insisted he is set to keep focused on Arsenal despite the festive season being upon us. The defender has found himself back in Arsene Wenger’s first-team plans following a couple of injuries in recent months, and after two devastating defeats, he has moved to dumb down the Christmas celebrations. This will be his second year playing football […]
Which players deserves big-game start for Arsenal v Man City?
As you will be well aware, we have a highly anticipated clash with Manchester City at the Etihad tomorrow, but which players deserve their Arsenal place? There are a number of selections which pick themselves but there are also a number of question marks having over certain roles, so we thought we’d take a closer look. […]
Official Arsenal XI for Everton away – Wenger keeps faith
It is all about keeping focus for Arsenal and continu8ing to build the momentum that the performances and results have got us after the three draws in a row during November that looked like they might derail our challenge for the Premier League title. Since then Arsenal have played well and been ruthless enough to […]
Gunners have game to cope with latest injury blow
Just because Arsenal always seem to have a long list of players in the treatment room does not make it any easier for the fans to see one of our regular first team players like Shkodran Mustafi pick up an injury. And it was clear that the Germany international star had done his hamstring, something […]
Official Arsenal team for Stoke – Bellerin on bench
There is some good news for Arsenal on the injury front today, although I was hoping that Hector Bellerin’s early return from his ankle injury would see him back in the starting line up for the visit of Stoke City in today’s Premier League game. THe young Spaniard is at least on the bench and […]
Arsenal risking too much with complete back four change?
Arsene Wenger has already given us some advance warning about what sort of Arsenal team we are likely to see lined up against tonight’s visitors to the Emirates stadium for the quarter-final of the EFL cup, as reported on the Arsenal website. So the Southampton manager will already know that it will be Carl Jenkinson […]
Arsenal to kick on now injury problems are almost over
Every season at some point, if not throughout the whole thing, Arsenal seem to have an injury crisis. We will never know for sure if losing Ramsey, Ozil, Walcott and more cost us the Premier League title a few years ago or whether we would have beaten Leicester City to the trophy last season if […]
Injury problems to cost Arsenal yet another EPL title?
The good news for Arsenal from the first international break of the season is that no more of our players will be heading back to north London with any new injury problems. But the same thing can be said of all our major rivals for the Premier League title and that leaves the Gunners yet […]
Why Mustafi can be perfect partner for Arsenal’s Koscielny
One of the big problems for Arsenal and the other Premier League clubs this summer in the transfer market was the fact that the rest of the world seems to see us as huge cash machines. We do have a lot of money thanks to the increasingly huge TV deals but it means that the […]
