Hello again. Fancy seeing you here. Let’s start this morning with what could become a regular feature during the summer.
Spainwatch: This morning El Mundo Deportivo says Barcelona are already negotiating with Thierry Henry’s agents after Henry gave them the signal to open the door to negotiations. They don’t half talk in clichés, do they? They’ll buy him whether they sell Eto’o or not apparently and Lillian Thuram, the big girly named twat, says it would be altogether splendid if Henry signed for Barcelona.
Marca reports that the only offer made for Franck Ribery has come from Bayern Munich but the only club Ribery wants to join is Real Madrid.
And that’s as much as they’ve got for us today. Tune in tomorrow for more, no doubt.
Elsewhere it looks like there’ll be a bit of transfer movement out of the club as Boro have apparently agreed a fee for Jeremie Aliadiere. It’s no surprise he’s moving on and Boro is probably about right for him. The club that has given refuge to such strikers as Malcolm Christie and that Luigi/Mario Maccarone should find lots of room for Jeremie. Good luck to him if that’s where he decides to go.
Martin Keown reckons Arsenal can ‘do a Manchester United’ and win the league next season, says the Sun. He reckons it’s down to mental toughness, and he does have a point, but it’s also down to getting some better players and improving the squad.
The idea of Manchester United with Anelka frightens me a bit, I have to say. I know there’s a feeling that sometimes it’s best not to look back but Anelka can’t be happy at Bolton, especially now that Sammy Lee – the smallest football manager alive today – is in charge and despite his history he would certainly add something to our squad. Pace. And goals. And funny little beards. If he was available at the right price isn’t he someone we should think about or does his past shennanigans rule him out? What say you?
Not much else happening. Gonna be a sloooow weekend. Especially as Arsene has gone to Sardinia, probably to bring back some cheeses ahead of next season.
Mmmmmm, cheeses.
