Once again, Gong Xi Fa Cai to all!
There has been no football action for the Arsenal in a while. The team had a training stint in Dubai recently, preparing for the remaining 17 League matches. That’s all that’s left for Arsenal this season. Can we finish in the top 4?
Other than an American player, Auston Truty, that we bought in the transfer window from the Colorado Rapids and who remains there on loan, there was no one else. Instead, a few notable players have departed from the club, mostly on loan. Auba, Chambers, Maitland-Niles, Balogun, and Mari, to name a few, have moved on for the rest of the season.
It’s especially sad for me to see Auba leaving the club in such manner. At one point, he was prolific and had a big influence on how we played. And he scored some great goals for us. But alas, we now have to rely on Laca, Eddie, Martinelli, and Smith Rowe for our goals.
It seems like the Arsenal has a young team at its core in its bid to clinch a European berth for next season, in the Champions League preferably. I hope the gaffer knows what he’s doing, given that we’ve had no one coming in to beef up the squad.
We play Wolves on Friday, 11 February 2022 at 3.45 am. Submit the predictions for the game to janeil@arsenalsingapore.com.
Huat ah Arsenal!
