We could do with another signing as all the stories are being to trickle steadily towards the World Cup.
Of course there are bits and bobs. Would it surprise you to know that Chelsea tried to buy Tomas Rosicky? No. It happened a couple of years ago though. I’m pretty sure there isn’t anyone Chelsea haven’t tried to buy. In fact, I think their transfer plan this summer will be to buy every player in the world so they can be champions again. It might make for a boring season but their fans are used to that anyway.
Ashley Cole says the World Cup has come at just the right time for him. Erm, well, er… that’s great. He also says he knows how fast Theo Walcott is. Naturally I was expecting him to say something like ‘He can go from 0-60 in less than 4 seconds and has a top speed of 190mph’. Instead he said Walcott is ‘very, very fast’ which leads me believe Ashley doesn’t know how fast Theo is at all. I have to say I’m disappointed.
Walcott will take some part in tonight’s England B international against Belarus and Sven Goran Eriksson is confident that the teenager, who has yet to play for Arsenal, can make an impact. He says:
He was quiet at the beginning but after a while you could see that he is a really, really great talent. He is not only very quick, as we knew, but he also has a good touch and he scores goals as well. That may be very good for us in the World Cup.
Scoring goals is always good. Good to see Sven as positive as ever though. Walcott scoring goals in the World Cup ‘may’ be a very good thing for England. It may not though. Right.
The Sun says Robert Pires will be unveiled as a Villarreal player today. Some comment on this once it’s confirmed.
Five people were arrested for the Patrick Vieira gas attack and then the French manager made him climb up a glacier. No, really.
And that’s it. More tomorrow.
