What is special in this Arsenal Blog?

The last time my beloved Arsenal won something substantial, I was barely into my teens. Still I can remember my beloved Arsenal crushing every opponent and going a whole season unbeaten. Those were good times. After that, there has been such a long gap in which we have not won even a single trophy. All our best players have left and sadly we have not been able to fill up the vacuum created by them. During the last two or three years, we have also seen the departure of players we nurtured and helped to grow as a world-class talent. These things have been very saddening and disheartening for us Arsenal fans.

 This year we're supposed to see a change. This year Arsene Wenger is supposedly equipped with a £ 70 million transfer kitty. As per reports, we also have the firepower in terms of wages to attract the best players. So, the question is: are we going to see a shift in the transfer strategy of our beloved club, or is it going to remain the same. Although early reports have given signs of encouragement but still nothing substantial has come to front. The only signing may have made still now is Yaya Sanogo, a relatively little-known French footballer, which is very much like the signings we are used to. Although, this people have the ability to develop into star footballers, these are still not the ready-made footballing products that would allow us or any club to actively compete for the Premier league and the UEFA champions league. This has to stop. We have to make world-class signings if we are to to compete with the very best. The transfer season is underway and the transfer window is officially open. Despite the big-name signings that we have been linked to, there has been little to suggest that we are going to get anything substantial from this transfer window. Take Gonzalo Higuain for example. Higuain has been linked to us for quite some time. He himself has stated that he is interested in Arsenal and the playing style would suit him. Even his family has confirmed that an agreement has been in place between him and the club. So why is Arsenal not ready to cough of the extra 2 or 3 millions for this player.

These are the types of question that I'm going to address in this blog. The reason you should read this blog is because it is being written by a gunners fan just like you. The voice of this blog is same as your voice. This is not a newspaper column that will give biased reports and  try to stir up new controversies. I'm going to try to share my views and what I feel should be the strategy taken by our beloved club. And most importantly, this blog needs you. This blog gives me a platform to speak my voice and it also gives you a platform to speak your voice and discuss it. So, let's begin a journey in which we discuss the potential transfer targets, strategies of a arsenal football club. And our journey begins with the transfer window, 2013/14. Let's hope for the best.
