quote:Barazite scoort bij Arsenal-debuut (15/07/2007)
Nacer Barazite maakte zaterdag zijn debuut in het eerste elftal van Arsenal. In zijn eerste optreden trof de Nederlander meteen doel.
De 17-jarige spits oefende met The Gunners tegen Barnet. Uiteindelijk won het elftal van Arsène Wenger met 2-0. De andere treffer kwam op naam van Emmanuel Adebayor.
In 2006 stapte Barazite over van N.E.C. naar Arsenal. Hij staat tot 2011 bij The Gunners onder contract.

Dat was tenenkrommend zeg, hele wedstrijd gewacht tot Bergkamp eindelijk invalt net als met de wedstrijd ter afscheid van hem, laatste tien minuten pas in het veld
Gaat Martins nog komen jongens? Ik zie hem heel graag bij Arsenal, geweldige speler. En ach die 19 miljoen neem je maar voor lief, dat is hij wel dubbel en dwars waard.
quote:Paper View: Arsenal in for £15m Palacio
By Andy Hooper
Is their life after Thierry Henry after all? Following that high-profile split between the French striker and his beloved (Arsenal), the club are to fork out £15 million on Argentinian Rodrigo Palacio from Boca Juniors, according to The Sun.
Palacio, 25, will fly into London tomorrow after Boca accepted the Gunners' offer, the paper says. Arsene Wenger has already signed Croatia forward Eduardo Da Silva, and his new recruit Palacio will wear the No 14 jersey made famous by Henry, who joined Barcelona for £16m last month.

'The Club has never been in a better position'
On Sunday, it will be exactly a year since Arsenal Football Club played their first game at Emirates Stadium. Dennis Bergkamp’s testimonial was a special occasion in so many ways. Of course we were saying goodbye to a legend but it also brought to a close many years of transition and planning as the Club left Highbury after 93 years.
Arsenal.com will spend this week reflecting on the year just gone. We have spoken to Arsène Wenger, Cesc Fabregas, Kolo Toure and Keith Edelman about shape of the Club as it embarks on a second season at Emirates Stadium. But we kick-off with an exclusive interview with Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood.
Mr Chairman, how do you look back on the first year at Emirates Stadium? It's been a big change.
I think it's been a much bigger move than we anticipated. The stadium obviously holds 22,000 more people than Highbury did and operationally Emirates is more complex to run than Highbury but I think everybody who worked on getting the stadium ready for use did a fabulous job. Although we had a few teething troubles early on I think we are all delighted at the progress that has been made.
Which particular difficulties surprised you? Which were the hardest ones to overcome?
I think the main problem was handling so many more people. Obviously to start with people didn't know where to go and where their seats were, that sort of thing. It was just general logistics. But I think the stewards and the stadium staff handled it brilliantly.
It's a planning feat I suppose to put a stadium the size of Emirates Stadium so close to the centre of a major city.
We knew that it wasn't going to be easy moving from Highbury but the reality was that for the long success of the Club, we had to move. Islington is in our hearts so we pursued the redevelopment of the Ashburton Grove site. We had to knock a lot of buildings down and start from scratch. Obviously working with the contractor who constructed the stadium and the architects and everybody else was a major job. I'm certainly thrilled with the outcome and I believe the fans are as well.
What are the benefits of Emirates Stadium a year on? Obviously there are the financial ones, but what else?
Financially, the move has increased our revenue. In fact, matchday revenue has tripled in comparison to Highbury. Aside from the money, it is evident to see that everybody has a very good seat at Emirates and everyone gets a good view of the game. It's not so big that anyone's so far away that they can't see the players on the pitch. I think the playing surface is brilliant too.
In terms of the money Emirates Stadium, on the outside at least, is perceived to be a financial drain which the Club is still paying off.
It's actually the reverse. Relocating to Emirates, as mentioned, has increased the income of the Club. Not only from the number of seats that we've got - 60,000 rather than 38,000 - but also the overall facilities we provide. We have conference and banqueting facilities which are used on non-matchdays and we now have a more structured approach to stadium tours whereby more than 75,000 people have visited the stadium this year. Hopefully people think they're getting good value for money. The stadium has not held Arsenal back at all in terms of bringing in players. It's actually given us the opportunity to compete with the biggest clubs in the world. If we had stayed at Highbury that would have limited our resources and over the long term affected our ability to financially compete with the top sides.
As more and more is paid off the debt do you believe Arsenal's ability to compete will increase further still?
It's going to generate a lot more money. Yes we have to pay the debt off, but don't forget the debt is a 25-year fixed-rate bond, so it's very manageable and that means the stadium can have nothing but a positive impact on developing the football team. That is what we are here for after all.
Are there still improvements you want to make to the stadium?
Yes, it's on-going. I can't give any specific details but we're not complacent in thinking we've got it all right in the first year. But overall it has been a tremendous success.
What are the board meetings like now? I imagine they were dominated by the construction of the stadium for so long. Has that changed?
I don't know whether it has [laughs]. We meet in the offices next door now instead of in the stadium. But what we can do now is look out of the window and see the stadium. It's a magnificent sight. Board meetings, as ever, consist of discussing the best ways to move the Club forward and ensure that stability remains and that we build upon the success that we have already achieved. Complacency is not part of our vocabulary and we want to continue to provide the best platform possible for the team to win trophies.
What were your highlights of the first season at Emirates Stadium?
The highlights for me were just attending the matches with 60,000 people there, which we had for every match. The atmosphere I thought was tremendous. People were nervous that we wouldn't retain the atmosphere we had at Highbury but I think it's been, if anything, better.
How did you feel on the day of Dennis Bergkamp's Testimonial? A mixture of excitement and nerves I would have thought.
It was the first game we'd played there and it was obviously a major event what with it being Dennis' testimonial. I was very excited and I think everybody else was too.
Do you miss Highbury?
No, I don't. I think Highbury was a wonderful stadium but it was built nearly 100 years ago and it just wasn't capable of handling the modern requirements. I think you've got to move forward. To sit there and be nostalgic is a recipe for disaster. You've got to make big decisions to move the Club into the 21st century.
Have you retained any traditions of Highbury?
We've retained as many of the old traditions as we possibly can. For example, the boardroom in the new offices is exactly the same as the one at Highbury. We moved it, every stick of furniture, everything. Even the panels and walls were moved. It was rather eerie in a way that one was sitting in what looked like the old boardroom but there it was in a brand new building.
Towards the end of the season I thought it was interesting that Arsène Wenger commissioned some pictures in the players' entrance. He put his mark on his part of Emirates Stadium didn't he?
Yes. I think it was a very good move and made our players feel more at home.
In terms of results, a lot of people talk about Arsenal's difficult start and the number of draws early on. But there was only one defeat so it wasn't that bad, was it?
No, I think it was a very good season. We did lose some games around the country that maybe we shouldn't have done. We created a great number of chances which we didn't take but overall I think the football we played was as good as ever. I've been Chairman since 1982 and on the board since 1962 and I think this is the best football I've seen. I really enjoy going to watch us play.
A year on from the move to Emirates Stadium, are Arsenal in a healthy position?
I believe we've never been in a better position. I think the team is absolutely first class. We had some very good results last year against the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, the sides we didn't overhaul in the League but played pretty well against when we faced them. It's a young side still but they're a year older now so they're going to be that much better.
Do you feel it's been a difficult summer? A lot has gone on and it's not all been good news.
If you tune in to the media, you would believe that it's been a difficult summer but I think people have not really looked behind what's happened. I'm very relaxed. I think we've got a very good squad and we've added a few players, most of them not names people have heard of before. But that's very much Arsène Wenger's style. People hadn't really heard of Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira or Cesc Fabregas before they arrived.
Can Arsenal cope with the loss of Thierry Henry?
Yes. Of course it's a big blow but we've coped before with the loss of Ian Wright, Tony Adams and others who have been great players for the Club. You have to move on. You can't live in the past.
What do you make of the new signings, Eduardo da Silva and Bacary Sagna?
I confess, I'm not an expert on the players we have bought but Arsène Wenger is a very good judge, he's done a lot of homework and he's very confident that we've bought some excellent players who are going to improve the squad.
How important is it for Arsenal that Arsène Wenger extends his stay beyond this season?
I very much hope he will. It's very important. He's done a marvellous job for the last 10 years or so. He looks pretty fit to me and I think he enjoys himself still. He's got a good job and I'm hoping he'll stay with us.
Are you talking to him about it now?
We had a fairly lengthy conversation recently and that went very well. Hopefully, in the not too distant future we'll have something positive to say about it. I'm confident he'll stay.
As a board, is it the young players in the side that energise you and keep you going?
Again, you have to keep moving forward. There are always players who play in a way you love, take Dennis Bergkamp, he was a magnificent player for us. But there came a time when he decided to retire. One looks back and wishes Dennis was 10 years younger but he isn't, and therefore you've got to try and do something about it.
How about yourself? You've been on the board since 1962, Chairman since 1982. How long will you want to go on?
I'm reasonably healthy I think and at the moment the rest of the board seem quite happy with me, so I'll go on for a little longer I hope.
Is there another goal, another big prize you want to see in your time as Chairman?
We'd love to win the Champions League. We were very close to it the season before last. It's the holy grail really and it means you're the best team in Europe. I don't see why we shouldn't be challenging for it this year.
In terms of the Premiership do you feel Arsenal will be up there challenging for the title?
I have no doubts.
