Right then, let’s see what’s going on.
Firstly Gilberto, ahead of England’s game against Brazil, says despite all the speculation he thinks Thierry Henry will stay with Arsenal. There’s been little else in the Spanish press in recent days but it’s all just speculation. As a sample today they’re talking about Madrid signing Ribery and Robben, one paper says Liverpool have bid €60m for Eto’o while another says Eto’o can stay at Barcelona if he behaves himself.
In response to the barrage of transfer stories from Spain Arseblog has launched its own daily newspaper. You can see the first front cover here.
Staying in Spain Jose Antonio Reyes says he wants to win the title with Real Madrid then sort his future out. He hasn’t ruled out moving to Atletico Madrid or any team with a quality squad. Asked about Henry and Eto’o he said:
We all know Eto’o is a quality player, the same as Henry. I’d sign them both.
Quite who he’s offering that advice to I’m not sure but Arsene could listen.
Jens Lehmann says he’s number one. And that’s it. I suspect the signing of Fabianski will set a fire right under Jens’ arse which can only be a good thing.
And that’s about it. Now….
…this week’s Arsecast, brought to you in association with OleOle.com, is rather shorter than usual. The lack of blogchat and stuff for me to waffle about have contributed to its shortness. If this week’s Arsecast was a sporting person it’d be a little jockey rather than a basketball player.
Still, the Man in the Bar has a player history and erm…yeah…there’s loads and loads of other exciting bits in there.
