A few bits and pieces for you this morning.
There were further developments on the keeper front as reports suggested we’re very close to signing Celta Vigo’s Miguel Aluminium. Apparently he’ll hardly cost us anything at all because they still owe us money from when they signed Silvinho. I am struggling to understand why we’d be so interested in a keeper who has spent the last two seasons out on loan at struggling La Liga teams. Anyway, it looks like it’s going to happen and you can begin speculating yourselves on what that means for Stuart Taylor and Graham Stack (who is wanted by Milwall).
Patrick Vieira has poured scorn on L’Arsenal French Revolution as reported the other day. He says “It is scandalous! Everyone loves Zizou.” So there you go. David Bentley will wear number 10 for Norwich next season. Maybe when he comes back to Arsenal he’ll be the new DB10. We’re also being linked with a move for Hatem Trabelsi, a move which is complicated by his contract problems with Ajax.
Not much to say on the Euros, only that if anyone had predicted a Portugal v Greece final you’d have given them very lengthy odds.
You might remember the other day I was talking about Portugal being wary of Ruud van Nistelrooy and I used this picture to suggest they might have a point. Well, in pure Fark or B3ta style, we’ve had some fun with it on the forums. Click here to see Ruud in all his glory.
Finally, congratulations to long-time Arser Searsy and his lovely wife, Mrs Searsy, on the birth of Canadia’s newest Arsenal fan. Brendan James will grow up to captain the Gunners, provided his mother does her duty and keeps him away from hockey. Dad is said to ‘pumped’. Well done to you both.
