Arseblog: Thursday 29th May 2003

may 29th

Earlier in the week there was a story about emergency keeper Guillaume Warmuz being wanted by Sp*rs. Planet Football said that the Frenchman was ‘was solid when called upon by The Gunners last term.’ Considering the closest he came to first team action was sittng on the bench, that raised a chuckle.

Not for the first time though, Planet Football seems to have got it wrong. It’s not Warmuz that Glenn Hoddle is after, it’s David Seaman. Neil Sullivan is leaving on a free, so Hoddle wants an experienced keeper and will battle it out with Man City and Birmingham (who are set to make a double bid for Seaman and Francis Jeffers) for Seaman’s signature. Seaman has apparently told Arsene Wenger he has no plans for retirement and wants to continue as Arsenal’s number 1. Arsene has said ‘So long and thanks for all the fish’.

Can’t see hit happening myself, for the simple reason that Seaman said he wants to continue playing at the top level. Maybe he’d stretch to the 2nd level of Man City or Birmingham, but there’s no way he’ll play 28th level foootball with that lot.

Arsenal scout Steve Rowley has been going all David Bowie and has spotted a young American for the Gunners. 18 year old Danny Karbassiyoon has been offered a contract by Arsenal and could join in July. Rowley said “He caught my eye because of his technique, his pace, and the fact that his stamina was superb.” You can read more about this on www.topdrawersoccer.com. heh – crazy Americans and their ‘soccer’.

Now, obviously I don’t spend my time trawling ‘soccer’ websites, so I have to say thank you to one of our forum regulars TH14 who has his own American ‘soccer’ blog and decided to share this ‘socceriffic’ info on our transfer rumours forum, which is the best place for all you Arsenal soccer fans to find out the latest transfer speculation and discover which soccer players are going to join Arsenal and which soccer players might be leaving Arsenal. Either way, there’s a whole lotta soccer. When you say ‘soccer’ that many times, it sounmds even more ridiculous than it does in the first place. Soccer Soccer Soccer Soccer Soccer Soccer Soccer Soccer.

‘What eeeeees theeeees soccer ju speeeek ov?’

Finally for today, waste your morning watching loads of 80s TV ads, or as they call them in the USA, Soccermercials.
