Heading into 2024, Arsenal's record in the Premier League: 14 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 16 games, picking up 43 of the 48 points.
It's already an unexpected record, to be honest, in the state before the winter break, I felt that I could fall out of the championship group in minutes, but it was after the winter break that this wave of climax was played, and it was only now that it has been strong!
In fact, if it weren't for the early elimination of the FA Cup, I am afraid there would be no trip to Dubai, and there would not be the current results, Arteta will still have to deal with the problem of multi-front operations next season.
But as far as this season is concerned, Arsenal have really done well, no matter what the result is, I don't think it can be considered a drop in the chain, it was a shame to lose that game against Villa, but you ask Arsenal not to make mistakes and not lose in the first half of the year, that's too exaggerated, brothers......
Do your best and let God do your best.
Former Arsenal defender Harry Clarke helped Ipswich Town to a successful breakthrough, congratulations!
The 23-year-old Clark has played 39 games in all competitions this season, and Ipswich has completed the myth of two consecutive promotions!
Clarke was sold to Ipswich Town by Arsenal in January 2023 while the club was still in League One.
Clarke joined the Arsenal Academy from Ipswich Town in 2015, so his move last year can be described as a "return to his roots", which was his childhood team. It's just that this little sapling hasn't grown into a towering tree yet.
However, Clarke and Ipswich achieved a leap through their own efforts, Arsenal did not give Clarke the opportunity to play in the Premier League, but the child won it for himself, very inspiring, see you next season!
After taking a look, Clark's value in the German transfer market has risen to 4 million euros, and it will not be difficult to exceed 10 million if he plays normally in the Premier League next season. As for how much money Arsenal sold Kroenke back in January last year, no reporter mentioned it, whether it was given away for free, or the cost was negligible......
Speaking of Ipswich, there is also a former Gunners, and that is Hutchinson, who has been on loan from Chelsea. Hutchinson has been outstanding in the Championship this season, contributing 10 goals and six assists, and is a big contributor to promotion, and he and Clark have a good chance of establishing themselves in the top flight in the future!
Manchester United have reported that Harry Maguire has suffered a muscle injury in training and Manchester United's team doctor expects him to be sidelined for three weeks, and they hope the centre-back will be available for the FA Cup final against Manchester City and this summer's European Championships.
In other words, 100 per cent will not be able to catch up with the crucial game against Arsenal!
Maguire has gradually welcomed back the hearts of Ten Hag and the fans this season, he is actually very professional, and most importantly, there are no centre-backs available at the back, and Casemiro has to make a cameo......
In short, Arsenal should go all out, this game is too important, if you win Manchester United, the last game against Everton will be much more relaxed, and Manchester City will also have pressure.
Do your own thing first.
Fabrizio Romano on Arsenal's forward signings in his offside insight column: "They are looking at a lot of options, such as Dzekereish and Sesco, but there is no further progress or any close deal at the moment. What I can guarantee is that as long as Arsenal are still in contention for the title, they will not be distracted by transfer rumours.
Gabriel Jesus wants to stay at Arsenal, but the Gunners remain interested in acquiring a new striker in the summer, but they don't want to be distracted by the current title race.
However, in June, Arsenal's full focus will be on bringing in new strikers, including buying new strikers. There are no changes to Arsenal's plans at the moment. ”
Actually, there is nothing new, the rumours are still about the likes of Dzekereish and Sesco, and judging by the names mentioned by Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal may be looking for a young striker in the summer, and I support that.
Some friends may say that negotiating transfers is the job of the uniform team, and the championship can still affect their operation? As long as there is a negotiation, there will be rumors, and it will cause a storm in the city, especially if you buy big name stars, and now is not the time to create rumors, which will affect the concentration of the players in the team.
Second, the target player's team may also be competing for some qualifying spots, so they may not be willing to fully negotiate with you, so let's wait until the end of the season.
SD said that Kai Havertz's outstanding performance may make Arsenal change their plan to buy a centre-forward first, but Fabrizio Romano said that the plan remains the same, I hope the plan remains the same, and it is still a reliable dominating centre-forward at a critical time!
According to Torino Sport, Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Vlahovic and could be courting the centre-forward at the end of the season.
The 24-year-old has been in excellent form this season, scoring 16 goals and providing three assists in 29 Serie A games for Juventus, compared to Gabriel Jesus' four league goals this season, a statistic that is clearly not good enough for a team aiming for the Premier League and Champions League.
In fact, since that winter, there have been no reliable rumors about Arsenal and Vlahovic on the side of the British media, but it is the Italian media, and it is the Torino Sport newspaper that has been fabricating Arsenal's interest, and it feels like it is peddling for Juventus......
For the time being, I don't think it's necessary to pay attention to this rumor, but let's take a look, after all, there are too few good center forwards, everything is possible, and the possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
It's just that I think it's very unlikely.
