An old Aussie, a world of pain, a Dutch reject and Wenger's phone bill.

Apparently we have chucked in another bid for Mark Mark Schwarzer, at 37, he may represent a decent bit of cover but it seems to go against the Wenger philosophy. The standard chat is that he will be doing a holding job until Wojciech Szczesny is experienced enough to play in the Premiership. Personally I would like to see him have a chance now, I also think Vito is a good keeper and the best of the 3 options last season. Given the ammount of chances Almunia and Flapper had Vito was overlooked. At least if we gave him a good run we could have checked him out for 10 games.

I feel that it is my duty to comment on the England game, I fell asleep for 10 mins of the second half. Funnily enough, its not the first time! The only reason I was awake for the last two was I was eating. The qualifying was a regular snooze fest! The media have jumped back on the bandwagon with all the winning the WC tosh, England beat a nobody country 1-0. Not the stuff of champions. I am going to be playing cricket on Sunday so will miss the match, unless of course we do a rain dance?

Obviously people who believe in rain dances making any real difference are fairly delusional but in comparison to Galatasaray it seems like fairly normal behaviour. If you haven't seen, they made a FOUR MILLION POUND bid for Alex Song, there are some Turkish football board members being surrounded by people in white coats.

Ryan Babel is apparently being looked at by Wenger, I rate him highly even though he has been disappointing for Liverpool. They are supposedly looking for £10-12m for him, considering they have to lose about half of their squad of 400 in order to fit the new squad regulations and cut their costs without CL football, they should take about £3!

The Sun have excelled themselves with some journalism. A FIVE line article saying Chamakh wants Gourcuff to sign for Arsenal. Talk about the twitter revolution!

Koscielny is apparently on the way, it's just taking time. The story is that Wenger hasn't got his Blackberry, do we not pay him enough to be able to cope with the expensive roaming charges? We need to get him in so we can focus on one of the other 2 defensive signings we make.

I have just worked out the Galatasaray logic, they thought that if we sell Fabregas for £40m then £4m for Song was an acceptable offer...Sneaky
