July 9th
Hello Arsemates, hope you’re well this Saturday morning.
We’ll start with Patrick Vieira I suppose. It looks like there’s a bit of substance to the reports involving Juventus even though the Sun reports Vieira is ‘baffled‘ by reports that we’re willing to sell him. Surely even he must be used to the annual transfer speculation by now. I’d be more baffled if there were no stories about him. What is interesting are the quotes from Arturo Lupoli at the bottom of this Guardian article. I’m not sure who exactly he was talking to but allegedly he said abotu Vieira “He wants to go. He will transform the Bianconeri; in the match he rules the midfield. It’s a great loss for us.”
Who am I to doubt the mighty Arturo. Anyway, the last thing I’m going to do is get into a tizzy about Vieira. We’ve all been down that road before. If he goes he goes.
Beastwatch: It looks like we’re involved in a bidding war with Manchester United and … wait for it …Sp*rs… hahahaha…. and some reports say we could be done for an illegal approach to the player but Arsenal are said to be ‘relaxed’ about that. There doesn’t appear to be much about it in the Spanish papers this morning though.
Other than that it’s fairly quiet. My team is playing a friendlly today, on grass, so that should be a larf. Enjoy your Saturday, till tomorrow.
