With two weeks to go until the first game of the season, everyone is back at training!
Yesterday the club posted up images of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale back in training. These followed an announcement that David Raya and William Saliba were also back.
That means all the boys are back ahead of the friendly against Bayern Leverkusen.
I do not actually expect any of them to be involved in Wednesday’s friendly. They would have only had a handful of days training before then. However the majority of players keep themselves in better nick than yesteryear so I Would not be surprised to see them play on Saturday, and be in contention for the Wolves game in a week.
There is a really good interview with Jack Wilshere on the website. He goes into his hopes for the U18s this season, and how talented 16 year olds can quickly change the landscape and plans of his team.
In news abroad, Juventus have publicly announced that 8 players are free to leave the club. This will likely result in the being available at a hugely reduced price. Names include Federico Chiesa and Wojciech Szczesny.
This news will change many clubs transfer plans. Later this week I might write a blog over which of 8 Arsenal should consider signing, and which ones we should avoid.
Ignore the noise about Mikel Merino transfer concerns. This story is all about discussions held within Arsenal meeting rooms around his age. These are perfectly normal discussions management have and you would actually be worried if they did not talk about this.
A quick dive into the article which was first published by clickbait football.london shows that it is not an inside source that has leaked this, and it is more journalist speculation. No sources mentioned around this matter.
What started as a single line about concerns of his age has turned into a huge “Arsenal might miss out” headline. It just shows how made up stories from glorified blogs can make it through to national news with clickbait headlines!
What is sad is the “Chief Arsenal Writer” used to be a very good blogger with a fantastic analysis. Now he just sits their pumping out clickbait material for the highest bidder (yes, we all have bills to pay!).
This is a warning for many aspiring journalists – the majority of sports journalism is about writing bullshit, not writing insightful analytical or thought provoking pieces. Media outlets just want a load of low paid graduates pumping out 10 articles a day based on Twitter posts.
Everything else is fairly quiet this Monday morning. It is still sunny in Essex, so time to do some washing and grab some breakfast!
Enjoy your day!

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon 
Thank you Keenos for telling the truth, it’s a great refreshing read.
In my opinion, Shewore.com is by far the number one site for the truth, with true articles. A close second is Tony of “untold-arsenal.com” who is great with true factual info and Jeorges Academy Articles on “arsenalyouths”, who also prints the truth. These three are the go to sites for true Arsenal news and are all one needs to be kept up to date regarding Arsenal.
The rest are very poor sites, outside the three mentioned above, that advertise on NewsNow.
Their Articles are poor made up speculations, that are copied from similar sites with similar false posted news. These false news posting websites are designed for click baiting and moaning fan posts, that seem to make negative baiting quips to each other, and arguing regarding the false posted news, that is not true and that seems to just works them up to provoke a response. They are Not very nice sites to visit in my opinion.
Avoiding these false news sites, this I promise you will save you hours of wasted life, reading their posted made up speculation.
Please, in my opinion, stick with the three best Arsenal news sites I have mentioned above, if you want the true up to-date information, which includes this good site, shewore.com, and the other two mentioned by name above.
This is just in my opinion, and I also agree with the truthful article, Keenos has just posted. Well done Keenos, I will let my friends know about this truthful Arsenal site.
