The new signing picked up the initial injury to his thigh in the loss against Aston Villa in November and as a result missed the following fixtures against Leeds, Molde, Wolves, and Rapid Vienna in both the Premier League and the Europa League.

Posted on July 17, 2018 by | Comments Off on Gary Neville praises Arsenal’s choice of Unai Emery but questions process

Manchester United legend-turned-pundit Gary Neville is pleased that Arsenal have chosen Unai Emery for the managerial role but remains surprised with the urgency with which the decision was made. Until Sunday, Mikel Arteta had been touted as the favourite for the Gunners job after allegedly agreeing on a three-year deal but the club have since made a surprise U-turn to discuss terms with Emery instead.

Reacting to the news, Neville replied to The Mirror’s John Cross saying: “He’s a brilliant coach John. Late change in the process?They’ve bounced all over the place on it! However,he’s a good appointment for Arsenal…the process a mess. You must have been hearing what was going on. Like a pinball…anyway the end result is a very good coach.”

Gunners knocked off top-spot after defeat to Liverpool

Posted on February 10, 2014 by | Comments Off on Gunners knocked off top-spot after defeat to Liverpool

Arsenal have relinquished first place in the Premier League after being thumped 5-1 at Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners were four down with just twenty minutes on the clock after goals from Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and two from Martin Skrtel gave the hosts an unassailable lead.

Sterling then added his second and Liverpool’s fifth seven minutes into the second half before Mikel Arteta pulled one back from the spot with just over twenty minutes to play.

Chelsea are the new leaders after they beat Newcastle United 3-0 later in the day, while Manchester City are third having been held to a goalless draw at Norwich City.

Arsene Wenger’s men will now turn their attention to their visit of champions Manchester United on Wednesday evening, when Manchester City host Sunderland while Chelsea travel to West Bromwich Albion twenty-four hours earlier.

Mesut Ozil bared the brunt of the fans criticism after the games, with many voicing their concern over the Germany international’s lack of contribution in recent weeks, the Daily Star understands.

The 25 year old, who moved to the Emirates last summer for a club record fee of £42.5m, made just four touches in his own half at the weekend, and has scored no goals and made just two assists in the Gunners’ last eight games.

Posted on January 28, 2014 by | Comments Off on Sczcesny and Giroud to return for Southampton clash

Arsene Wenger is set to recall Wojciech Sczcesny and Olivier Giroud to the Arsenal starting line-up for this evening’s game at Southampton.

The pair were rested for Friday night’s 4-0 FA Cup fourth round win over Coventry City on Friday evening, though Giroud did make a cameo appearance, getting on the score sheet despite not coming on until the 79th minute.

Midefielders Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta and defender Thomas Vermaelen are all set to return to the match-day squad after recovering from their respective injuries, though Jack Wilshere is doubtful with an ankle problem.

Meanwhile, the club have agreed a deal with sportswear company Puma, according to the Mail Online.

The German manufacturer will become the Gunners kit suppliers from next season, ending their twenty year partnership with Nike.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United have accepted an offer for midfielder Yohan Cabaye from Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint Germain, Sky Sports understands.

Arsenal had been interested in securing the services of the France international themsleves, and saw a bid of around £10m rejected back in August.

However, the 28 year old now looks set to secure a move back to his home country, after two-and-a-half seasons with Alan Pardew’s side.
