Morning all. Bank Holiday here hence the late blog.
The main news this morning is that we’ve been linked with a right back, Auxerre’s Bakari Sagna. A fee of £6m has been thrown up by The Sun but considering both Eboue and Hoyte signed new long-term deals towards the end of last season this seems to be rather fanciful. Unless of course the boss fancies him to play somewhere other than right back which is not beyond the realms of possibility.
As well as Barcelona’s interest in our captain, AC Milan now fancy him with Carlo Ancelotti saying he is ‘of interest’ to them. I just think if there’s any measure of how important a player Thierry Henry is it’s the fact that the biggest clubs in the world want him and I really don’t understand any Arsenal fan who thinks it might be vaguely in our interest to let him go.
Jose Antonio Reyes could go back to Sevilla. Hopefully they get him a house on the right side of town or he might become homesick.
Other than that it’s a dead as a doormouse. There are no whispers or rumours or anything else happening. There’s a sign outside that says ‘No milk today’ and it could be there for some time.
Until tomorrow.
