Top 5 successful academy player

Hello all, as we Arsenal football club established itself as a superb academy around the world. Lots of youngster were dreamed to play in their academy as Arsenal developed themselves as a football star. Look at players like Adams, Dixon, Bould, Winterburn, Parlour, Gibbs, Wilshere; they reflect those traits. I’m sure the older fans could name plenty of players from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, who were a reflection of the values of the club. Here's top 5 successful academy player who successfully to become top player after they entering Arsenal academy:




5 - Jack Wilshere


Of the current crop of young guns to come through the academy, Wilshere is without doubt the player with the potential to go the furthest. Born in Stevenage, the left-footed midfielder joined Arsenal when he was nine years old and became the Gunners youngest league debutant when he featured in the clash with Blackburn Rovers in September 2009. One of the highlights in his career, he established himself as a one of the promising Arsenal player when he dominant a midfield area against Barcelona that ended with victory 2-1. Able to handle the requirements of moving from one end of the field to the other, superb technical skills with the ball, communicate well and have good organisational skills makes him a top player. Recently play for Gunners and lots of promises more come from him.







4 - Ashley Cole

Arsenal's Youth Academy Director Liam Brady believes that Cole's development into a world class left-back is the academy's greatest achievement so far. A striker in his formative years, Cole was transformed into the attacking left back we now see marauding down the wing and he benefited greatly from a loan spell at Crystal Palace in 2000. He is also one of the members in "The Invinsible" squad. After his £5million plus William Gallas switch across London to Stamford Bridge he has added two FA Cups and the League Cup to the three FA Cups and two league titles he won with the Gunners. Currently play for AS Roma after he left Chelsea at 2014. 







3 - Martin Keown

Martin Keown is an English former professional footballer who played as a defenderfrom 1984 to 2005 notably in the Premier League for Arsenal where he made over 300 appearances for the club and won nine major trophies. He also played for Brighton & Hove Albion, Aston Villa, Everton, Leicester City and Reading. Keown made his England debut in 1992 against France and went on to win 43 caps for the national side over the next 10 years, gradually forming a respected defensive partnership with Arsenal team-mate Tony Adams at both club and international level. Keown represented England at four major international football finals including the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.He is now a part-time scout and coach for Arsenal, as well as a pundit for the BBC, ESPN, TV3, and Al Jazeera Sports +3. He came out of retirement in 2012 and briefly played for Combined Counties League Premier Division side Wembley in their FA Cup fixtures.



2 - Cesc Fabregas


Fabregas may not be a local lad but he is a genuine product of the Youth Academy after moving on a free from the Nou Camp to north London aged just 16 and became Arsenal’s youngest player (at the time) when came on as a sub in the League Cup game against Rotherham. Schooled by the likes of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry, the Spaniard is an accomplished playmaker, goalscorer, was made Captain of the club age 21 and is certain to add to his tally of just one FA Cup in his time at the Emirates. Left Arsenal to his born-place, Barcelona at the year of 2010 and currently joining Arsenal's rivals, Chelsea at the year of 2014






1 - Tony Adams

Number one for the Arsenal's most successful academy player is commanding centre-back, Tony Adams. Arsenal skipper, Adams spent his entire playing career of 22 years as a defender at Arsenal. He is considered one of the greatest Arsenal players of all time by the club's own fans and was included in the Football League 100 Legends and his nickname is "Mr. Arsenal". With Arsenal, he won four top flight division titles, uniquely captaining a title-winning team in three different decades, three FA Cups, two Football League Cups, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and three FA Community Shields. A statue honouring Adams was unveiled at Emirates stadium on 9 December 2011, along with statues of Thierry Henry and Herbert Chapman.

Theiry Henry: Top scorer in Arsenal football history

Theirry Henry stats his career in Arsenal

Hello! Today I want to talk about the one of the legendary of Arsenal, Theirry Henry, Joining from Juventus at 1999 worth 19.7M pounds, Theiry Henry becoming top scorer in Arsenal football history with bagging up into 228 goals in 377 games. French-born striker, who started in Monaco in a youth time joining Juventus at 1996. He won several awards at Monaco such as FFA Young Player Of The Year before departure to the Italian Giant. But then, he failed to meet an expectation as he left Juventus to joining Arsenal. Theiry Henry starts his career at Arsenal with an emphatic fashion as he scored more than 20 goals in his first season at Arsenal. 

Wenger immediately turned Henry back into a striker and soon had the deadliest weapon in the Premier League wearing No. 14 for Arsenal. Over the next eight seasons he scored a club-record 228 goals in 377 games, winning two league titles and two F.A. Cup finals. He came to define the bulk of Wenger's time in charge.

Joe Baker 100 156 152 
  


By 2007, after a heartbreaking defeat in the Champions League final against Barcelona, Henry seemed to have grown unsettled in England. Unexpectedly, he was then sold to Barcelona. Once again playing on the wing, he has not been as effective in Spain.

But then, he still the greatest striker of Arsenal all time. Arsenal fan surely missed the goalscoring like Theiry Henry. I ended up my entry with a video by Arsenal goalscoring records player, Theiry Henry.



Thank you for reading. :)

Top 10 worst signings

HAPPY GREETING! For every brilliant acquisition you can also find an embarrassing flop, a much-fancied youngster who didn't make the grade or a star signing who never lived up to his billing. There's player who fail to meet up expectation in Arsenal football club: So there's my top 10 worst signings made by Arsene Wenger:
Junichi Inamoto holds up a shirt after signing - he did more for the club marketing department than on the pitch
10- Junichi Inamoto


Arrived from Japan with a huge reputation, and expectation to match, but made virtually no impact during a year at Arsenal and was quickly moved on to Fulham.

Arsene Wenger's worst Arsenal XI: in pictures
9- Manuel Almunia


It could be argued that Arsenal had worse players and less value for money in the position but, in the period from 2007 until 2010 when Wenger was far too patient with so many players, the case of Almunia was surely the most frustrating.


8- Richard Wright


Having punched the ball into his own net against Charlton then allowed a soft goal to Gus Poyet in the North London Derby, Wright was left fighting even to make the Arsenal bench. He left to join Everton after only one season and 22 appearances, conceding defeat to Seaman and never returning to his early Ipswich highs.
Amaury Bischoff was signed as 'a gamble on talent' but it was one that spectacularly failed to pay off
7- Amaury Bischoff


Not a costly blunder, but a very odd one. Bischoff arrived with no pedigree but if Arsene Wenger saw something in him, he must be good, right? Wrong. Played just four games, and now - aged 26 - plies his trade in the German third division.


6- Park Chu Young


Had been on his way to Lille from Monaco before Arsene Wenger suddenly intervened in the summer of 2011. Given the ‘No 9’ shirt, and still at the club, but has played just eight minutes in the Premier League.


5- Jose Antonio Reyes


It might be simplistic to say Phil Neville ended Reyes's Arsenal career - but after Manchester United's terrier niggled Reyes to distraction, his appetite for English football never returned.


4- Francis Jeffers


More 'flop' than 'fox' in the box. Was one of Arsenal's most expensive signings in 2001 at £8 million. Undermined by injuries and scored just four goals in two seasons at Arsenal before rejoining Everton on loan
Silvestre never rediscovered the form that made him a five-time Premier League champion at United
3- Mikael Silvestre

The French stopper arrived on a free from rivals Manchester United but it was soon clear that there was a good reason why Sir Alex had let him leave. Silvestre looked past his best and was blamed for crucial mistakes in key games against Barcelona and Spurs during his two years with the Gunners. After the 2009/10 season he was released, having played just 26 times in the League.

Arsene Wenger's worst Arsenal XI: in pictures
2- Sebastian Squilacci

A rare Wenger signing in that he joined at aged 30. But this supposed safe pair of defensive hands floundered horribly and was swiftly replaced by Per Mertesacker.

Arshavin made a brilliant start to life at Arsenal, including four goals in a game against Liverpool
1- Andrey Arshavin


Signed for a club record fee, the man who had lit up Euro 2008 was Arsenal's first huge buy since their move to the Emirates Stadium, and should have been a symbol of new ambition. He confirmed his status as a star with four goals at Anfield, still one of the great individual Premier League performances and was runner-up for the club's player of the season in his first year, despite only having joined in January. But then it all went wrong. Fans seem to be divided on whether it was laziness or the refusal of Wenger to play him in his best position that did for the little Russian. Either way, by the time he was released, Arshavin, once the great hope, was little more than a laughing stock. 



Those player did not meet expectation based on their quality and price that makes Arsene Wenger's gamble not worth it. Arsenal need to splash amount of money to them but the return Arsenal get it's not suitable from what club expect for. 

Top 10 best signings

Hello everybody. Over the last 23 years, Arsenal have consistently been one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the Premier League. Much of that success has been built on canny business in the transfer market, with Arsene Wenger in particular showing a tremendous eye for a player. So there's list of top 10 best splash cash money by Arsene Wenger in transfer market:
10. Nicolas Anelka

9. Petr Cech

8. Sol Campbell

7. Kolo Toure

6. Marc Overmars

5. Gilberto Silva

4. Robin Van Persie

3. Dennis Bergkamp

2 .Patrick Vierra

1. Theiry Henry




All of the name above is based on their price and contribution to the club that lead Arsenal to fight in English Premier League. Arsene Wenger spending very wisely in the market and in the end the player that he brought become huge part of the team. That's we called him "Arsene Knows".

Top 5 failure under Wenger

In every successful manager, there will be a hard time. Same goes to Arsene Wenger, eventhough he is one of the successful ever manager in football history, there's some moments that he cannot forget about, his failure. This entry will shows top 5 failure during Arsene Wenger's reign at Arsenal:





5 - His record against Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is a currently manager of Chelsea that hardly been defeated by Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger poor run defeat against him are totally abysmal when he just only produces 1/14 win against Jose Mourinho. Jose Mourinho well known as "Special One" labelling Arsene Wenger as "Specialist In Failure"

4 - 8-2 huge defeat against Manchester United

Once in a life, Arsene Wenger get a huge defeat against arch rivals, Manchester United. Embrassing, awful display, no communication at all. This match remain one of the biggest defeat in Arsene Wenger's career. The only goal in this game by the skipper, Robin Van Persie and Theo Walcott still not enough to give Arsenal win yet defeat in an awful fashion.

3 - League Cup Final defeat against Birmingham

The year that full of promising when Arsenal midfield full of talented player Samir Nasri, Robin Van Persie, Andrei Arshavin, Cesc Fabregas, Alex Song, Abou Diaby play for the team but still cannot win the cup. The trophy drought continues as they lose League Cup Final against Birmingham as the highlights on the game where Arsenal goalkeeper, Wojceich Sczezny conceded in very pathetic moments. His miscommunication with defender, Laurent Koscielny easily give away the ball to Birmingham striker to score in injury time. The game ended with losing 2-1 and trophy drought continues.

2 - 9 years trophy drought

Frustrated in Arsene Wenger reign at Arsenal as he fail to win any single trophy in nine years. The main reason because when he moved the Stadium from Highbury into Emirates stadium. Despite having a lot of money to pay, he still cannot afford the star to stay as we see the departure of Samir Nasri, Cesc Fabregas, Robin Van Persie, Bacary Sagna and etc.

1 - Champions League Final at Paris

The nombor one goes to the final Champions League against FC Barcelona in Paris. The whole season been through by Arsenal were fantasic but the result in final is not what people expect for. The goal that score by Sol Campbell not enough to bring trophy as Jens Lehmann been shown red on that game. Arsene Wenger still fail to bring Uefa Champions League trophy into his cabinet career trophy and losing against Barcelona remembered as a biggest failure under Arsene Wenger.
