Let’s start with more on the Vela story with the BBC quoting the player’s father who says “These chances appear only once in somebody’s life. Guadalajara wanted Carlos to stay, but we have reached an amicable agreement.”
The player himself says “My desire is to go to Europe and it’s all set up with Arsenal. They are an extraordinary club.”
So there you go. That’s something. Something else is an injury free Sol Campbell. Will it be third time lucky for him as the last two times he’s been on England duty he’s picked up a knock? He’s hoping his good pre-season will stand him in good stead and says “The main thing is that I have to stay fit — and it’s as simple as that. Because once I get a good head of steam and start playing games, I feel more confident and I can do more on the pitch.”
Arturo Lupoli continued his reserve goalscoring as he bagged a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Charlton. That brings his tally to 734 in just 8 games this season.
Thierry Henry played the full 90 for France last night and scored a late winner as they came from behind to beat Costa Rica 3-2.
No doubt he’ll play the full 90 of the next match, do his groin again and be out for 6 weeks. Hurrah!
That’s it. I’m off to work.
