Today has been rubbish for stories I'm afraid. Everything was looking rosy with yesterdays load of stories but today it has all died on its arse. This could be linked to Mr Hill-Woods comments regarding our lack of a transfer fund.

Last night I read some fairly strong indications that Arshaving was going to be joining in the next couple of days. I got all built up for accepting him and trawled youtube and got quite excited about him even though we don't need him. Everyone is aware that agents are lying bags of puss but his agent is worse than most. Apparently an £18m deal is going through as we speak. Its good because it will happen the same time spurs win the league (the Premiership).

The other story that has caused me sleepless nights is the one regarding the Newcastle stopper. I genuinely think he is the best goalkeeper in England and the player I would say was second in my list would be Almunia. swapping first for second would be a step up but I would be angry if Almunia was replaced given his consistancy and loyalty. He may want out of Newcastle because its a free-fall there but he won't be coming to Arsenal.


I hate the spuds as much as any other Gooner but just an idea...Giovani dos Santos? I think he is a good little player, if we want an AMC/second striker (which I don't think we do). He would fit the Arsene style and he is apparently going cheap. If we could pick him up for £5m then that would be pretty epic business. He is mates with Vela and the 2 of them combining could be the new Pires/Henry sensual football we all miss.

If you thought signing a Spud was madness you will like this one...

I was one of the many Gooners to boo him when the Geordies came to get beaten about 8 times last season. He may have a bit of a reputation for being violent and I can understand that supporters would be worried about him but look at how good he has been this season and he is just what we need. A strong central mid who would scare opposition. Even if he got banged up again he is more likely to play than Rosicky!
