Manchester United play host to Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, so we thought we’d take a look into our opponents squad.
We obviously come into the match in top form, having not lost since the opening weekend of the season, while our rivals are not blessed with much of the same.
While Arsenal fans and Arsene Wenger do not tend to look forward to an international break with much more than gritted teeth and crossed fingers in case any of our players pick up an injury, we do also want the Gunners’ form and performances to be recognised by their national coaches.
There have been Arsenal transfer rumours this summer that have linked the club with at least two of the players that ended up signing for our Premier League rivals Manchester United. A few reports put the Gunners in the list of clubs interested in Paul Pogba bot nobody in their right mind actually thought that Arsene Wenger would be going for that mega money deal.
Just a few days it was looking like the chances of Arsenal completing the transfer of France’s Euro 2016 star Moussa Sissoko were slipping away after his current club Newcastle United chose to slap an inflated price tag of around £35 million on the fast and exciting attacking player.
\it is being reported that the powers that be behind the scenes at Arsenal FC have been listening to the complaints from a growing number of Arsenal fans and have begun to agree with the increasingly angry calls for Arsene Wenger to start spending the same sort of money as the other big clubs in the Premier League and Europe.
Mesut Ozil is Arsenal’s record signing of all time, and despite his new-found consistency towards the end of last season, he still hasn’t convinced all of the fans that he was worth his massive transfer fee, so I am sure there are some that think that we should allow the rumoured interest from Juventus to regain at least most of the cash we splashed out on the German international.
I am not sure who told them that money was going out of fashion and had to be used up as quickly as possible, but Arsenal Football Club and everyone connected with it should be seriously concerned about the noise coming out of the Etihad stadium right now.
We are 17 days from our FA Cup final against Aston Villa, which will be the end of Arsenal’s season. Our rivals have already started spending their massive summer budgets so it is imperative that the Gunners work hard to improve our squad as well. Here is the latest selection of Arsenal’s rumours from the papers for your entertainment!.
