january 12th
I’m either tired, grumpy and hungover and the rain is coming down sideways outside this morning, or I’m fit, fine and dandy and enthralled by the prospect of the day of meetings I have ahead. Guess which it is.
There’s really not very much Arsenal-related of interest this morning again. Jermaine Pennant has been talking about how he hopes to earn a new deal at Arsenal: “I’ve had some great advice from the boss, so I think I’ve progressed a lot really.” A nice comment and in contrast to what Jens Lehmann was reported as having said yesterday, especially coming from Pennant, who Arsene Wenger has been critical of in the past. Hopefully he’ll do enough between now and the end of the season to earn a new contract offer.
Finally, Ronaldinho knows real class when he sees it, and ex-player Gilles Grimandi wants us to buy Mickael Essien from Lyon. I didn’t know Gilles was working for the club as a scout.
That’s it from me. Arseblogger should be back tomorrow, so normal service will shortly be resumed. I bet you we sign someone exciting as soon as he comes back. Just watch.
