I was sad to read the article on Young Guns saying about the players who were not offered new contracts with Arsenal, I always expect the young ones who don't make it to go on and play for Championship clubs but it seems to be a really low standard
Not much happening today as far as I can see, apparently Laurent Koscielny wants to come and is asking for the transfer offer to be accepted. Well, his agent said that, I hate agents, they are like lawyers with no principals! I have seen nothing of him like most Gooners, but my guess would be that given his Polish/French heritage he will be a fighter but quick to surrender. Just realised that French jokes don't really work when we make up most of the French squad!

I was thinking about the Fabregas situation and potential suiters, a player who I have always rated is Juan Roman Riquelme. His passing is electric and free-kicks are pretty good too. He is 31 but on a free for a year could do a good job, he lead Villarreal and then they collapsed without him. A class act. He never really had any pace to lose so that will not be a problem! Cesc has practically no pace and he is still world class.

Michael Johnson would be another player who could fit in but he may well be too broken to be a worthwhile signing, having only made 4 appearences in the last 2 seasons and whether City want him or not, there is also a danger we just turn into a side that signs all of their cast offs, with links to Richards, Hart (who is class) and SWP.

I saw bits of the Portugal match and it tickled me when the ref booked Ronaldo, there was no reason for it other than the ref thought he was an arsehole, well thats what came up on the press association news feed. "Ronaldo booked for being an arsehole"

Just seen that Spain have decided to avoid using Cesc, you get the idea from Barca that the fans pine for him but considering he would be behind Chavi, In a fiesta, Buscuits, Pedro and Villa (attacking midfield), I don't really think the fans really give a toss about him its more the fact that we stole him!

Gutted about Senderos getting injured, I will always like him a bit out of sympathy but because he has a big heart and gave his all for Arsenal.

The WC is excellent for blog writing due to the fact that it really is so so boring. You can write with it on in the background. Final whistle! Spain lose, GOOD! Thats what you get you player poaching turds.
