being an Arsenal fan, it has truly been an action packed summer of excitement.  Not only did we have representatives all over the world cup, but we will also have 3 returning world champions.

Since last summer Arsenal has shown that we no longer need to compete on a short financial shoestring and are ready to battle it out with the big boys.  Soccer fans as were universally skeptical until our team and premier league record breaking £42.5m signing of Mesut Ozil, the German maestro from Real Madrid and the show stopper of the 2010 World Cup.

Now.  We are at a better position than ever.  Even though our fiercest competitors (Man City and United) continue to try and pick off our talent, albeit our ageing talent as of late……. the Gunners are locked and loaded and ready to rock and roll.

Starting with the extension of our manager Arsene Wenger, the team has now really started to take shape. We first lost our star right back Bacary Sagna, to rivals Manchester City but Wenger found his replacement in arguably one of the only RBs that outperformed Sagna in the EPL last season, his fellow frenchman Mathieu Debuchy of Newcastle.  He then followed up with a signing that will surely send the Gunner’s attack into hyper speed next season in the form of the Chilean Star Attacker Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona.  Business didn’t finish there of course as we secured the services of the outstanding Colombian shot stopper David Ospina.  Now we are on the verge of up and coming Southampton starlet Calum Chambers for the 8th highest payday transfer for a teenager in EPL history.

With Aaron Ramsey ready to go again with a new style and fresh legs (make him captain already!) and Theo Walcott almost healed, all in all I’d say this has been a great summer.  We, the gooners, are ready to go and are thrilled wait for the season to kick off.

It is time to Run & Gun.  Watch out. (time to jump on bandwagon perhaps)

See you in a few weeks at the season opener.
