Art de Roché

Arsenal’s past, present & future is rooted in south London Those from the area know that, I wanted to show it Thanks @IanWright0, @pauldavis_8, @EddieNketiah9, @Webbster1977, @JuniorEliteFC’s Colin Omogbehin, Bill Cawley & Neil Atherton for helping to theathletic.com/2566446/2021/0…

Honoured to be joined by @ArtdeRoche for tonight’s show where we’ll discuss all things today’s game, how we felt about the new signings’ performances & what the final piece of the puzzle is. See you there @ 7:30. 🫡

Some lovely reminders of Ethan Nwaneri’s ability to create something out of nothing in that first half-hour. Such a valuable quality to have in those areas

First game of pre-season is finally here

These RvP, Wilshere, Nasri, Fabregas/Hleb clips on the tl in the last 24 hours (Thank you @C02003 & @1886DL_)

Olivia Smith had become impossible to ignore both as an opponent and a transfer target when Arsenal Women faced Liverpool twice this March Also don't expect this to be the end of their summer transfer business Inside the deal piece w/@megan_feringa nytimes.com/athletic/64993…

Olivia Smith was always going to be women’s football’s first £1m player this summer. But nobody was meant to know. Inside Smith’s deal, incl Arsenal’s long-term interest, Sleger’s sway + Liverpool’s faith in making this a “Coutinho moment”. @ArtdeRoche nytimes.com/athletic/64993…

Olivia Smith is women's football's first £1m signing. A 4yr contract w Arsenal. A player of sublime technical ability, tenacity + maturity. Arsenal are investing not in potential talent but a guarantee of character. At 20 years old, that is priceless. nytimes.com/athletic/64084…

Arsenal Women have confirmed the signing of Anneke Borbe after the expiration of her Wolfsburg contract 24-year-old goalkeeper will wear the #28 nytimes.com/athletic/64947…

Didn’t include in the piece as it didn’t really fit, but had wanted to ask Iwobi about switching from 45 to 17 since he did it, and his answer made me laugh so here it is

Arsenal Women have confirmed the permanent signing of Taylor Hinds on a three-year deal Like Chloe Kelly, she returns to the club after spending time at the academy and is viewed as a player who will raise the competitive level of the squad nytimes.com/athletic/64775…

Shout out Tommy Yasu every time mayn

Real shame that Takehiro Tomiyasu’s time at Arsenal has come to an end Will never forget the instant impact he had on the team in 2021-22 and the versatility he showed in the seasons after that No questions over his quality, only if he was fit more often nytimes.com/athletic/64729…

Chloe Kelly's permanent move to Arsenal Women is now official She's said: “I’m excited for more silverware at this special club and to bring more trophies back to north London to celebrate with our supporters.” nytimes.com/athletic/63928…

Forget the stats and tactics, Eberechi Eze plays football the way it should be played Creative and willing to try things others don’t, Arsenal have missed a player like that of late If they act on their interest, it would be the perfect full circle story nytimes.com/athletic/64649…
