Now that Arsenal’s Euro 2004 adventures are over, there’s very little going on. All the players are on their holidays and the manager is doing punditry for French TV. Makes for dull times, so it does.
Sol Campbell is still furious with Swiss ref Urs Meier for disallowing his goal against Portugal, claiming “I bet if it was the other way around it would have been a goal for Portugal.”
Jeremie Aliadiere doesn’t want to go out on loan and wants a chance to prove himself at Arsenal. St Etienne, PSV Eindhoven, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax and Charlton are all interested in taking him on loan, but he says “I want to stay here. I can contribute so much to Arsenal all I want is to get a chance.”
Kanu’s move to WBA appears to be dead in the water due to his wage demands, while there’s some speculation that Fernando Morientes could be Arsenal bound.
Finally for today, a new column from Steve E, entitled ‘Ashley Cole – a case for the defence.’
So, how was your weekend then?
