The Arturo Lupoli signing was confirmed by Arsenal.con late yesterday afternoon, countless hours after Arseblog revealed the young Italian had signed for the club. You know where to come for your transfer exclusives, oh yes.
Sadly I don’t have any further exclusives for you today, but it is thought that the club will announce the signing of Spanish keeper Miguel Aluminium (who has definitely signed according to the Spanish press) and possibly Hatem Trabelsi at some stage this week.
The Spanish press are also reporting that as the Real Madrid presidential election hots up, new manager José Camacho wants a ‘destructor’ in midfield. As they say themselves ‘a Makelele, but better’. The two main targets are Emerson from Roma and, you’ve guessed it, Patrick Vieira.
According to AS.com – “ …Madrid asked Arsenal what price they wanted for Vieira and Henry before Euro 2004, but David Dein said they were not available for transfer. However, a poor European Championships has placed Vieira on the market.”
They make up more crap than I do.
In more Arsenal.con news I did get a reply last week from somebody who’s obviously got ambitions to be a politician as he failed to answer any of the questions I asked him. I understand that the video footage on Arsenal+ is use Microsoft’s DRM stuff and as such it makes it 100% incompatible with Macintosh and the version of Windows Media Player. However, audio is not as restrictive and therefore it should be possible to make match day commentary available to Mac users. I’ll let know if I get a straight answer from them.
That’s yer lot.
