09.44 – You know it’s getting close to the time that the transfer window reopens when you get stories about Arsenal’s £21m bid for Jose Reyes being rejected. According to Miguel Anbak, the player’s agent, “Arsenal made an offer for him of £10.5million which would increase to £21 million depending on appearances, but that was turned down. I think Arsenal want to exploit the Spanish market as Cesc was a good buy for them and so they are continuing to look at the players available “
I’d wouldn’t call a £21m bid ‘exploiting the Spanish market’. Anyway, I’m pretty sure this is just agent talk, and while AW has long admired the Spanish youngster, it’s hard to see us making a bid like that at the moment. And then it’s hard to see a club like Seville turn down £21m from us, and a supposed £42m bid from Inter Milan. Agent Bollocks, I reckon.
Robert Pires talks about turning down Chelsea, recapturing his form and ‘that penalty’ against Portsmouth. More from Cygan “I am thinking about leaving Arsenal. I have been playing recently and this suits me, but I am very sceptical about the situation remaining the same once Lauren is back.”
You’re right to be sceptical, baldy. And if he’s thinking about leaving, let him leave. No great loss.
Last night there was a really nasty storm here which seems to have blown up my computer. I’ve spent most of the morning reinstalling the OS to be able to post this. Anyone know where to get a brand new G5 for under €5.99? Reckon I’ll have to find me some kind of finance deal to get a new ‘puter, coz this one is on its last legs.
