Good morning, it’s all a bit like this today
I have scoured the newspapers and the websites and there’s approximately fuck all going on. One of the Spanish papers, AS, seems to have picked up on yesterday’s Mirror story and added a few bells and whistles, talking as they do about agreements being in place regarding fees etc, but there’s nothing to it really.
Meanwhile it seems as if Barcelona won’t be somewhere we can flog Adebayor if we go down that route. They’re definitely looking for a striker but there’s so sign of the Togonian in their picture montage which features Ibrahimovic, Forlan, Villa and Benzema.
Eduardo has spoken briefly about his recent ankle operation but all he said is that he feels fine, he’s recovering well and will join up with pre-season training in July. Which is a shame. Not that I’d wish any misfortune on poor Eduardo but it’d make for much more interesting blogging if the operation had somehow given him super powers and turned his left foot into a weapon like Thor’s hammer. We could call him Thunderfoot or Megashootron.
Yesterday’s poll regarding Xabi Alonso was rather emphatic. There were 3595 votes in total, 3212 of those were in favour of bringing him in, that’s 89%. Now, let’s see where people stand if offered a straight choice between Alonso or one of the season’s most improved players, Alex Song. It’s to your left, get voting.
The Spanish papers are talking a lot about Alonso to Real Madrid so he could be out of our price range if they get involved. And with our old pal Florentino Perez back in charge there I’m eagerly awaiting the ‘Every single Arsenal player to Madrid’ stories. No, I really am. Because then at least there’s something to talk about, even if it is to just call it a load of old bollocks.
Nicklas Bendtner says it’s ‘sweet’ to get the backing of Arsene Wenger. Anyone else hearing Cartman saying that? Just me then? *sigh*
Right, will have to leave it there. I have a billion things to do. Well, it’s mostly to clean out the billion things in my car which is going to the scrappers. Stupid car.
Laters.
