Oh no. Not only is Patrick Vieira going to sign for Real Madrid, but now it seems Sol Campbell is going too. Not only that, Madrid want Vieira to convince Campbell to sign for them. They say Sol is dismayed at having to take pay cut, which isn’t really a pay cut. It’s all go in today’s truth searching edition of the News of the World.
Arsenal played the world famous Grazer AK last night and came away with a 2-1 win, the goals coming from Bergkamp and van Persie. After the game Arsene Wenger revealed there was a problem with the signing of Hatem Trabelsi, which is a bit of a shame. The boss said “It looks like it is a little problematic which is disappointing. There are discussions over the contract and at the moment we cannot resolve that.”
With that deal hitting a snag we have given a trial to a young Egyptian full back called Fathi. Apparently he’s got six tiny brothers who could do the business as well and we could see Tubhi and Lardhi at the club next week.
Talking about Patrick Vieira he said “There have been no bids I can deny that categorically. Every day there is speculation coming out and there is not only Patrick in the team and we have to keep our energy for all the players. I’ll talk to him tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”
So we’re still none the wiser, we still haven’t heard anything from Vieira himself, and this most tedious and irritating of stories chugs on for another week. Off tennising. Later.
