Again a very quiet one this morning.
Steve Stammers reports in the Sunday Mirror that Bakary Sagna (sag-na, sanya, which is it?) will sign this week and provide cover for the back four and those who will be going to the ACN this season. As I keep saying it seems an odd one to buy a right back when we have two who have just signed long term deals but such is the way of Arsene.
Jose Antonio Reyes’ agent has made it clear that his client doesn’t want to come back to London and said that negotiations are underway with Madrid:
Arsenal are not asking for 20 million euros but they are asking for a reasonable fee in accordance with what they paid to Sevilla. The negotiations are on the table.
And let’s hope it’s not too difficult to work something out. We definitely need to replace Reyes in the squad, even Arsene admitted to missing his pace and wing play last season, so hopefully he’s got some targets in mind.
Marca is reporting that Arsene Wenger will only consider selling Cesc if Robinho is thrown is as part of the deal. It seems Madrid are going to make an offer of around €40m for Cesc and Reyes. They can shove their €40m up their holes if you ask me. Give us €10m for Reyes and then piss off.
Jeremie Aliadiere has again complained about his treatment by Arsene Wenger. He really ought to shut up now. To many Arsenal fans he got more than enough chances and never took them. If he gets 10 goals for Boro I’ll be surprised.
And there’s not much more to tell you this morning so I shall wish you a happy Sunday and be on my merry way. Till tomorrow.
