A much less lengthy blog this morning. Firstly, thanks for all your mails yesterday. I have done my best to reply to them all, so forgive me if I’ve missed one or two.
Dennis Bergkamp has joined the voices asking Vieira to stay the club. He says “It would be such a pity if he left. Obviously we want him to stay. You don’t want to see your best players leave.”
The Mirror suggest Vieira is going to hand in a transfer request, and that’s about all they say. Arsenal are off to Austria later this week (with two Ivorian trialists) and a big challenge will be to get Vieira to go on this pre-season trip. If the club can convince him to go, and they are doing their utmost, then there’s a chance he’ll stay. Whether he goes or not will be an decent indication of what’s going to happen.
I haven’t heard anything more, but rest assured the moment I have any information that I can share I’ll post it here.
Juventus are set to make a bid for Sol Campbell according to The Italian Press according to the Guardian. Sol is currently in talks over a new deal at Arsenal, so fingers Xed something gets sorted out soon.
So how was your weekend then? Beer helps you forget football (amongst other things).
