June 10th
Oh you know it’s the off season when people start having heart attacks about the fact we haven’t signed anyone and it’s barely the second week of June. Give it time people. From what I can sniff out from the bits and pieces of info I’m getting this could be a pretty busy summer in the transfer market. Sadly I don’t have anything specific I can share with you just yet though. I notice some people are chucking their toys out of their prams because we might be signing this Hleb fella. Well, as far I’m concerned if Arsene wants to spend £8m on him then I’ll trust his judgement over people whose only viewings of the player have come in an end of season international. I have to confess I know next to nothing about him, I’ve never seen him play but it’s just a bit rich that people complain we’re not spending and then when it looks like we might spend they moan about that too.
Anyway, it looks like our first signing of the summer is young Jack Hobbs who will continue to work weekdays down’t pit and train in the evenings with the team. There’s been nothing on the official site yet but the BBC said we’ve signed him so it must be true. The BBC would never lie.
LB7 says he’d like Ashley Cole to stay at Arsenal and sign a new contract. I’m still very much of the opinion that Cole should be sold and there is solid interest in him from a number of clubs. Liamo absolves the club of any blame in the situation and I just love this quote: “Arsenal are not to blame at all… all we have offered to do is double his wages.”
As it’s so early there’s little else to report. Erm… so there.
