Contracts anyone?
greatest midfielder than our defeat at Sunderland. Not only is this yet another insult to Cesc, it is another one to Arsenal and I for one can’t wait to get them in the Champions League so the
World’s greatest midfielder can slam their lack of respect into the back of their net three or four times.
Do they just take it in turns at Barcelona? ‘I said it last week, it’s your turn.’
Cunts.
The News of the World has an interview with Arshavin where he urges Wenger to buy expensive players in January to keep our title bid on track, especially given the loss of Van Persie. Ignoring
the fact that all being well VP will be back by January, the fact that they quote Arshavin as saying things such as “Arsene needs to buy new players and expensive ones. All the talented and
inexpensive players are already with us and the players who could really boost our power are all costly to bring in. I realise that if we buy a star, someone in the squad will be rejected but
this is fair. It is the manager’s job to decide such things,” you realise that a little more than a lot of ‘artistic’ licence has been taken as anyone who has ever heard Andrei speak knows that
his English is nowhere near as fluent as this.
He does like to talk does the little magician, and he also acknowledges that he has been below par this season. Perhaps if he picks up his game there will be no need for a January signing, but I
have a feeling we will see movement when the window opens. Will it be the ‘expensive’ signing that AA craves? I doubt it, but then Wenger has very rarely equated value/cost with talent and
usually gets more of the latter for less of the former.
In Arsene we trust, and Arshavin needs to start shutting up and leaving these things to Le Boss.
By all accounts, Fran Merida looks set to spurn a move to Athletico Madrid (even though they haven’t even made an offer for him) to sign a new deal with Arsenal, and there is news on Arsenal.com
that the club has started contract negotiations with Gallas, Vela and Rosicky. Who here this time last year would have wanted to see Gallas’s contract extended? Not many. I for one put all the
blame for the trouble between him and Kolo quarely at William’s door and it seems that I was more than a little unfair. It now seems imperititve that we sign him for another season or two at
least. Afterall, how many seasons in a decade can you pull a Vermaelen out of nowhere? Vela is a no-brainer, we all know he will be a world-class striker if given the chance, and Rosicky’s full
body transplant seems to have taken so that’s another no-brainer. Between the three, the only one I can see there being any problems with is Vela. Rosicky has a debt to repay the club, Gallas
looks like he’s finally enjoying it Arsenal, but Carlos might have doubts about the amount of football he’s getting as well as his place in the pecking order. Hopefully the boss can give his the
assurances he’ll be requiring.
The News of the World runs a piece on Cesc saying that he can never please Wenger, but I’m pretty sure that’s a really old interview so I’m not going to bother with it. We know the respect which
exisits between the two of them, we know the truth. And we also know that Cesc
is Arsenal’s captain with Arsenal DNA. Suck it up Barca.
A little but of nonsense to end the day with and it’s good to see that the ex-25 is saving hard for his retirement, only paying a cabbie £50 for a UB40 CD lying on his dashboard which he could
have picked up for about £3 in HMV. Perhaps it was the word ‘dash’ which appealed to him, a strange word that he’d never heard before and he got a little confused. What a wab. As is Phil Brown
who apparently believes he could be the next England manager. Sorry Phil, too orange. As well as being too much of a twat.
That’s that for today…writitng this has made me dizzy so I’m off to do my Diaby impression with some twirling.
Til tomorrow…hopefully
