Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said that he is pleased with the way his players responded in the match against Manchester United.

He said that it was important for the team to win the game if they want to keep their hope of qualifying for the Champions League.

The manager said that it was a difficult game against a team that has been unbeaten since October. Wenger said Manchester United came into the match with a defensive approach and was set up to hit on the counter-attack.

He said that the Arsenal players needed to be focused and wary of the threats posed by quick players such as Martial. Wenger has praised his defenders for their great performance in keeping a clean sheet against a dangerous side such as Manchester United. Read More

SANCHEZ REJECTS ARSENAL’S NEW CONTRACT

January 13, 2017March 14, 2017 index

It is an all too familiar pattern. Hardly fails to disappoint. A top dog nears the end of a contract deal.

A rival club offers a way out. Arsenal offer theirs whichis always less than what outsiders bring to the bidding table.This is a recurring tale of “not again” for many Arsenal fans. Having repeatedly gone through the pain of watching valuable players take the exit door at the Emirates, the latest contract tussle between Sanchez and the club’s hierarchy is a most unwelcomed niggle by Arsenal faithful.

Tuesday’s slip-up at Goodison Park does not appear to be the only thing that can potentially disrupt Arsenal’s relatively quiet and progressive campaign. Alexis Sanchez transfer scuffle appears to be a pang that has been promised to Arsenal fans throughout this festive period. Needless to say that this is absolutely one if they will not want to cause them headache

The 27-year-old club beacon was last week reported to have received a bid of £400, 000 per week from an unnamed Chinese Super League club and apparently it seems the Chilean’s agent is using that offer to box Arsenal into a corner and squeeze out the best of deals they can for their client.

They are reported to be demanding a £250,000 per-week as against Arsenal’s £180,000, a fair enough upgrade from the current £130,000. Wenger’s eagerness to see that Sanchez and Mesut Ozil remain with the club has also boosted the Copa America winner’s hope of landing his heart desire’s bumper deal. If rumours are anything to go by, the German’s commitment looks to have been secured leaving that of Sanchez still lying in question marks. Read More

WENGER PLANS SANCHEZ AND GIROUD’S PAIR

November 17, 2016November 17, 2016 index

The henchman at the Gunners Football club, Arsene Wenger believes that a pair of Alexis Sanchez and Oliver Giroud in the attacking segment of the team is a possible one.

This came on the heels of a brace each from the duo during their game with Sunderland last weekend.

Giroud who did not start in the match, had come off the bench to score two goals for Arsenal with his first two touches, thus for a couple of hours, sending the Gunners to the top of the Premier League table.

This season so far, Giroud has had just four substitute appearances during which he has been unable to score before his wonderful performance on Saturday.
Wenger has hailed him and believes he can pair up the two whenever the need arises and sees no reason why the duo cannot play together.

“The headache is easy when you score goals. It is a headache when you don’t score. Sometimes I can play them [Sanchez and Giroud] together in a 4-4-2, because Mesut Ozil can play behind or on the flank, or sometimes I can play them separately” Arsene Wenger had said after the match on Saturday.

He also had this to say about Sanchez:
