08.54 – With Goldenballs gone to Madrid, and £28.5 misfit ‘Seba’ Veron expressing his desire to return to Italy, it was inevtiable that the Vieira to Man United rumours would start.
And start they have. United are said to be lining up a £22m bid for Paddy, this is from various ‘sources’. No doubt some of them are ‘reliable sources’ too.
Here’s the two reasons why it’ll never happen:
- Arsenal will not agree to sell to Man Utd
- Vieira will not go to Man Utd. “It’s hard to see myself playing for any other team than Arsenal. I always said that if I had to leave Arsenal, I would go abroad. I really don’t see myself in Manchester.”
If there is any truth in this rumour, it’s just shit-stirring from Demento as he deals with the flak of letting Beckham go so cheaply. The Sun suggests that Fergie has problems to sort out. He thought he’d sewn up deals for Kewell and Ronaldinho, but the with the Aussie seemingly heading our way and the buck-toothed Brazilian still dilly-dallying over who to join, things aren’t as clear cut as they seem. Add to that the fact his assistant is off to manage Real Madrid and it all means a summer of fun in Manchester. Check out the little stats box at the bottom of that Sun article – it suggest Fergie is a manager who needs a good number 2. Some interesting stats there.
Bottom line is this. Vieira will never leave Arsenal…for Man United. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t leave to go elsewhere. I’m thinking of raising money via PayPal for his new contract. Just send it to me, I’ll make sure it gets to Paddy.
The Wenger to Madrid rumours haven’t even been given a chance to get going as Arsene Wenger said this yesterday, “I can say 100% that I will be at Arsenal next season. I will not be leaving Highbury to go to Madrid. I have never broken a contract in my career and I have no intention of breaking the one I have with Arsenal, where I have two years left on my contract.”
Thierry Henry on fashion footballers “Beckham changes his hairstyle ten thousand times a year and Djibril dyes his hair blond and dresses at Gaultier’s. I want people to talk about me but not for my clothes, my haircut or my cars. Fans don’t say they adore my looks or my shoes. They adore my game or my goals.”
Cocu story a complete fabrication. Imagine that.
Just to let you know that updates are going to be a bit sketchy for the next few days. You certainly won’t be waking up to a brand new edition of Arseblog every morning. I may however post something small – either very late or very very early – to give you fresh ‘arses’ to play around with.
