Walcott desire to emulate Henry

WALCOTT REVEALS 90 MINUTES CONVERSATION WITH LEGEND HENRY.:
Theo Walcott has spoken out about his private conversation with Gunners legend Thierry Henry while the Frenchman trained in North London recently.

''We had a good hour and a half in a room together and we chatted about a lot. It’s probably the best hour and half I’ve ever had.''

'' I just went up to him. I didn’t expect an hour and half to be honest. But I’m glad it was that long.''

''Thierry was always going to have a good chat. It was about all sorts of stuff in a private room at the training ground and that was a good thing, so it wasn’t like anyone else could see. It meant a lot.''

''To have someone with that much experience to talk about not just yourself but what he had to deal with means you learn a lot.''

''It was a shame he had to go back so early, to be honest. But when you’re learning from the likes of that it’s only going to make you get better.''

''I’ll keep it between me and him but I’ve taken it all in. I always listen to people but when it’s my hero I listen extra hard.''

What Arsenal need to do to compete next season?

For so long this season, the Gunners looked as though they were finally about to put to bed their inability to compete in the Premier League, having been stationed at the top for the largest amount of time out of all the competitors. However, some heavy losses to key rivals, most recently a 3-0 defeat to Everton, have left Wenger’s men once again feeling let down by their inability to challenge for the Barclays Premier League, with even players such as Santi Cazorla speaking of their lack of winning mentality. In my opinion, Arsenal need a complete reshuffle in order to compete for the Premier League all the way next season. I’m not suggesting an overhaul, because you can see that in parts of the season Arsenal clearly have the squad to win plenty of points. However, Wenger is focusing too much on the creative side of the game. For example, playing Cazorla and Rosicky on the wings on several occasions instead of, for example, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Podolski has lead...

Arsenal sign Mesut Ozil .

Mesut Ozil has sealed a spectacular €47 million move to Arsenal after signing a five-year contract. The Gunners have smashed their transfer record to land the Germany international, who underwent the second part of his medical in Munich on Monday after agreeing personal terms with the club. Ozil has signed a deal worth around €150,000-a-week that will run until 2018 after Real Madrid gave the green light to his departure. He will comfortably become Arsenal’s highest-paid player as well as the club’s record signing, after Arsene Wenger sanctioned the first €23m-plus transfer in their history. THE VIEW FROM GERMANY For the majority of people in Germany, Mesut Ozil’s move to Arsenal has come as a huge surprise. Arsenal are a well-respected club in Germany but are no longer considered in the same class as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona. However, with the World Cup coming up next summer it is essential Ozil is playing first-team fo...

Cup 5th Round. The tournament seems to be Arsenal's most realistic chance of silverware. But Brighton will be significant opposition. They comfortably disposed of Premier Legaue Newcastle in the last round and will be buoyed by a 93rd minute equaliser to earn them a point at Ewood Park on Tuesday night. Vital Quotes: Arsene Wenger refuses to countenance Brighton's Championship status as he prepares his team to face Gus Poyet's side. 'They play out from the back, have a lot of possession and a big South American influence with their manager, the players they have, and the way they play. You know you will face a typical away game in the Premier League.' Meanwhile, Seagulls manager Gus Poyet knows Brighton must be smart against their Premier Leagu...
