june 7th
Monday morning. The start of a new week, so much promise, anything could happen. We could sign someone, for example.
Well, here’s what I’ve been told. A normally reliable source has informed me that we’re in the process of doing a deal to bring Philippe Mexes to the club. We’ve made an offer which Auxerre have supposedly accepted and a deal could be done pretty quickly. The French transfer window opens tomorrow and everyone would like things to be wrapped up within the week. I don’t have any more details than that though, but it’s still a nice piece of gossip to kick us off.
Robert Pires and Ashley Cole play together week in, week out down Arsenal’s left. However, when England take on France on Sunday Pires is likely to play on the right hand side for France and will be in direct competition with his team-mate. There’s obviously been a bit of banter between them as Pires says “He’s the one who said he’d have no problem meeting me because I’d end up in his pocket. But I know how to get myself easily out of his pocket with a magic trick known only to me.”
Are we going to see Le Bob disappear in a puff of smoke, only to reappear on the other side of the pitch? Will he pull a rabbit from his beret and chuck it at Ash as he goes past him? AbracaBob. It’s going to be an interesting game though, that’s for sure, especially if John Terry is ruled out through injury and England have to play Jamie Carragher in central defence.
Not much else happening at this early stage, but if I get any more info regarding Mexes you’ll be the first to know.
So how was your weekend?
