Fighting the Power Shift - Arsene’s Last Struggle?
By Ulysse Pasquier, writing from Montreal
Football clubs do enjoy their deadline drama it seems. These last couple of days have been so hectic it has become difficult to keep track of my Twitter feed every single deal, and the transfer window is not even closed yet! We can expect more signings in the next 24 hours that could shape the rest of the season, notably in the Premier League with much of the attention focused on Arsenal. The Gunners have been incredibly busy since their humiliating defeat at Old Trafford, getting their hands on Park Chu Young from Monaco while waiting for Andre Dos Santos and Per Mertesacker to follow the South Korean to North London. Arsene Wenger has had a very worrying start of the season, to say the least, and Arsenal’s top four spot is already severely threatened, only three match-days into the new campaign. Whether this new found taste for spending is a reaction to this weekend’s loss or part of “Le Plan” is irrelevant, however after Manchester City’s performance at White Hart Lane, it could very well be Wenger’s despairing attempt at saving Arsenal’s seat in the Champions League.

Can’t thank Eric Beard enough for giving me this opportunity. A dream come true to be able to ask questions to an Arsenal legend like Dixon. Also, Lee’s reaction to hearing my name is priceless haha!
Arsenal legend Lee Dixon answers Ulysse Pasquier’s questions for A Football Report
AFR Senior Writer Ulysse Pasquier had the opportunity to ask former England and Arsenal full back and BBC football pundit Lee Dixon questions about Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, the transfer market, Ian Holloway, and the Premier League as a whole. He didn’t answer our question about whether Balotelli is a great footballer or the greatest footballer ever, but we’ll let it slide.
Aside from his established career as a footballer and now a pundit, Lee Dixon is also a script and storyline contributor for I AM PLAYR, the first-ever point-of-view online football game. After testing out the game, AFR decided to team up with Mr. Dixon and I AM PLAYR. It’s a creative, somewhat addicting take on the life of a young professional footballer coming through the ranks in England with hopes of being the next great thing. Alongside the gameplay, the characters and vivacious first person videos truly make the game a unique experience. We’re not sure it knocks Football Manager off its perch just yet, but it is free. So why not have a go and join us?
