June 25th
A quick Saturday round-up for you before I go melt in the heat.
It looks like the deal to bring in the Belarussian Stuttgart player Alecksander Hleb has been more or less completed as Arsene Wenger said “The transfer will be completed in the next few days. I think he can start packing his bags to come to us.”
Both the Sun and the Mirror are reporting that Chelsea have more or less agreed an £18m deal with Manchester City for Shaun Wright-Phillips. He’s obviously got a connection to Arsenal via his father but when you saw Ian Wright on TV on cup final day saying there’s only team he’d choose to play for if he was still arond, and that team being Chelsea, then the chances of him coming to Highbury were always slim. The £18m fee is probably too much for us as well.
And that’s about all that’s going. Things are starting to move and from what I understand there might be a bit more to talk about in the near future. Again, I just want to let people who sent me emails know that I’m not ignorning them but my internet time is just too limited to sit down and reply. Sorry. Anyway, have a good Saturday, Arsers.
