BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein has a habit of getting things right and he reckons Mesut Ozil has a signed a new three and a half year deal which will see him serve the club till 2021 when he is all of 32 years old. Following on the heels of our getting Gabonese 2,289,455776 goal striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang to come and hang out with Henrikh Mkhitaryan for a few years and win us a few things, this is a strong power move from the Arsenal lot who have been accused of not fancying the whole keeping top players thing and kinda buying the sh!t ones in exchange. It now feels like 15 billion years ago since $anchez offed to the Mancs and Feo signed da ting with other people and not us. EXCLUSIVE: Mesut Ozil signs a new three-and-a-half year contract to remain at Arsenal until summer 2021. Becomes highest-paid player in club history on around £350k per week before tax. Deal agreed last weekend, signed at Colney this morning. Could take him to 8yrs at #AFC & 32yo pic.twitt...

Super forward Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is an Arsenal player. In a show that the new backroom staff is no longer business as usual, Arsenal shelled a cool reported 55.4 million of them pounds to bring the goal machine to the Emirates. Both Arsenal and Borrusia have confirmed the news. With Henrikh Mkhitaryan coming in the other day Arsenal have made two high profile signings to replace the departed Alexi$ $anchez. Mind you I can't be mad at Sancho because he could have sat tight till the end of the season and we would have gotten nothing for him. Still don't care for him. And with the news that Mesut Ozil looks to be keen on a deal now because of our January business am amped. Just sign Jack as well.

There are no words in the world to express the ridiculous situation Arsenal find themselves in right now. They are 23 points off the top and 19 points of relegation.  In their match against Bournemouth they looked completely bereft of confidence, playing more like a team trying to survive relegation than one of the one of the top 10 most powerful clubs in the world and if you go by Soccerex's most recent list number 2. It got so terrible that at some point their GBP50 million striker had to drop deep into midfield with supply pretty much hen's teeth for a striker who bagged 37 in 45 matches last season. With Alexis Sanchez on his bike out of the club with his dogs and the Mesut Ozil situation about as up in the air as they can get, Arsenal are as weird as they come at the minute. They are predictable, lacking inspiration, lethargic, slow, ponderous and to be honest perfectly ludicrous.  It's a shambles. The manager is clueless. That is not h...

Francis Coquelin has officially joined Valencia. The Frenchman said he should have joined the La Liga side when he had the chance to move in the northern Summer but he felt he could give another go at being Arsenal. A player I liked to be honest and it is sad to see him go. While I am not sure we will miss him given the way the current manager has chosen to play, he was good and even great at times, coming in at a time when Arsene Wenger's continued pretense that he could play without central midfielders who could defend was looking really silly. The only issue for Arsenal of course is how prone the team is to injury and with Aaron Ramsey out   Ramsey though back in the squad and it looks Jack Wilshere may be crocked too, the bench will look a bit silly. As that Forest disaster showed Joe Willock is not the answer, yet. Talented as he may be. One experiment we need to stop messing with is Theo Walcott as well. He has been at the club for the longest but you just fee...

So I needed a few days to calm down after the weird Nottingham Forest exit from the FA Cup. Arsene Wenger PIC: Daily Star Every draft of the post had in mind had pretty much all the expletives Samuel Jackson has ever uttered in moves. OK it was fucked up. You know, you think it would feel better after a few days but it really doesn't. Like you just have no idea where this club is going anymore. It's like that weird period when Zimbabweans were like, so erm... what is going on, you know, before the thing that must not be called by that name cause, you know. Anyway we are happier now. And that is just the thing though. Whatever the question at the club is, Arsene Wenger seized to be the answer a while ago. Unless the answer was FA Cup exit against a hopeless, managerless Nottingham Forest. Yes, the players could have done better, but in reality, the reason you have subs is so that if plan A goes wrong, you have the other thing. But having such a silly bench is also...

Our long standing French gaffer Arsene Wenger has been in the news of late over what he has consistently called farcical decisions even suggesting that because they happen so often they can't be coincidence. The latest have been in the last two matches in which his side have been on the wrong end of the 'referee from the dark ages' as Wenger put it, Mike Dean and then  game later by Anthony Taylor in the crunch tie against Chelsea. The less said about Dean the better. He has been referred to by many as an 'attention-seeking' twat (ok the twat is just me) and his record when taking charge with the Gunners involved is so scandalous it would Kim Jong-Un versus Donald Trump... in a teacup. Then as for Anthony Taylor, less of a twat, but still mini one for his decision against Hector Bellerin against Chelsea which turned a great match into an argument. Well yeah, him. Since that infamous Luis Medina Cantalejo incident of 2006 AD. Who is Luis Medina ...
