08.43 – After being linked with every striker and clapped out old midfielder around, it’s nice to see that a defender is the order of the day for today’s transfer merry-go-round.
William Gallas has been rumoured to be high on AW’s shopping list for some time now (those all-natural hemp shopping lists are a curse), but we weren’t sure how he felt about moving from Chelsea. His latest comments leave us with little doubt that he wouldn’t mind getting away from Master Bates and his cronies. Speaking at the Confederations Cup he said “I’m not happy – either with the team management or with the chairman Ken Bates – which makes it difficult for me to stay. I need to talk with my people. I’m just not very happy at Chelsea. Maybe I will still be a Chelsea player at the start of the season, but I don’t think so.”
According to The Guardian, a fee of around £8m is being reported, but Arsenal could face competition from Newcastle for Gallas, and given the continued acrimony between Bates and Arsenal’s David Dein, it’s not going to be an easy signing.
Dein and Bates are like a pair of old women, however they are taking steps to mend fences a bit. Bates has said “We have agreed to go out for lunch together. Mind you, it hasn’t been decided who’s paying.” Dein’s reply: “The healing process has begun. We’ve had only one row. Trouble is, it’s lasted 19 years.”
I know it’s a slow summer for news Myles, but surely you can’t have read this and thought it was fit for public consumption? Nedved, ‘Peter’ Robinson, Carew – give me a break. And who the fuck is Sanderos? F-. The irrelevant drivel of a Championship Manager football fan.
Thierry Henry scored for France last night in the world’s most ridiculous football tournament. They hammered New Zealand 5-0 which means they qualify for the semi-final. Meanwhile Barcelona’s press secretary continues to talk about Thierry and a possible move to Camp Nou. He’s said “Henry is one of the players we’re hoping to talk to this week. We have to see whether he is interested in coming.”
I refer the honourable gentleman to this exhibit.
A holy trinity of cunty looking cunts.
Gregory Coupet is the latest goalkeeper to be linked. He’s 31, French and certainly no better than anything we’ve got at the club already. If we’re going to buy a keeper, we should buy somebody with experience and a bit of pedigree, not another French bargain basement gimp.
That’s it for now. More later when we announce the signings of Gallas, Kewell and Robinson.
