According to yesterday’s News of the World we’ve made a £14m bid for little Robinho, a story that got picked up by other august organs such as Soccernet and The Times. Real Madrid are said to be shitting it and Edu and Gilberto are telling the pint-sized genius how great Arsenal is on a daily basis. I don’t know any more other than we want him but whether the lure of London will prove more appealing than Spain to a South American we’ll just have to wait and see.
We got a bit of a rehash of the ‘two world class players‘ story that appeared on Arsenal.con a few weeks back. No doubt that story mixed with some quotes from AW’s commentary on the confederations cup makes for a good exclusive. Of course, it will be interesting to see who he brings on board. Robinho is the right kind of signing and although some people don’t think much of Hleb I’m sure he’ll be a useful addition to the squad and perhaps he’s not one of the two world class players. Maybe there’s another Brazilian on the list. Or an Eastern European. Or a Swede. Who knows?
Time to do the whole work thing. Still no ADSL. Another week…
