I see no reason why we can’t continue to debate all the hearsay about Cesc, even if our club is not making any statement at the moment, which is only to be expected as no deal has been negotiated.
Cesc is our best player. It may be an overstatement to say that the team has been built around him, but certainly his creative style of football epitomises the way we want to play. The belief is that this summer, we would add to the squad, a few missing pieces in the jigsaw, and see the emergence of the balanced team that would get us to the top once more. It would be such a shame if Cesc left and we never get to see how good it could have been with him surrounded by players worthy of his talent. Give us one more year Cesc – Barça don’t need you yet.
There is talk that Cesc has been tapped up by Barça, but the law in Spain is quite different to that in England, and if that was the case, it could take 3 to 5 years to go to court, and even then it would be extremely complicated and with no definite result gained.
I have no doubt that Cesc will leave, if not this summer, then next summer, it’s the worst kept secret in football. If he stays, how would you feel if having played the season for us fully committed, regardless of how we do, he waived goodbye? In addition would Cesc be able to turn his back on a winning side?
The scenario is different to Henry and Vieira latterly, as they both had given us several years (as Cesc has done) but in a winning side.
It is difficult to express what I mean by writing as opposed to having an actual conversation, but personally however great a player he is, it would leave a bitter taste in my mouth if he stayed, went on to have a great season, even won something for the club and then at the age of 23/24 left.
Apparently he says he wants ‘his future settled’ before the World Cup, so surely the onus is on him to make a statement. Obviously if he is leaving, and every aspect seems to have been discussed, the small point as to how much we would get for him is still unknown. Barça have just spent big on David Villa – do they have the money to pay us what we think Cesc should be worth?
I think Wenger would like to keep him one more year, whilst grooming his natural successor in Ramsey, but he is still so young, and no-one can predict how he will bounce back after the injury.
One thing I am sure of is that there will be much more activity this summer with more players leaving and arriving than in the previous four years, but then again Arsène has stated that the team doesn’t need a massive overhaul ….. the torture continues.

Morning all
Thanks kelsey there are a couple of good questions there. I also feel that when Cesc goes it will be a case of ‘what could have been?’ We know how much he loved playing with Flamini and Hleb and that 2007/08 should have been our title – well we won it really didn’t we, the mancs got the trophy but it was our season 😉
How would he feel if he left us now and we got the players that would give a better balance to the side and went on to take the title in 2011?
And it goes on.Note this is from today’s telegaraph by “telegraph staff”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/arsenal/7722547/Cesc-Fabregas-I-want-my-Arsenal-future-resolved-before-World-Cup-starts.html
One more year would be great, but then the same old ‘he’s going’ shit would resurface. Ramsey, Wishere and Song with either Gerrard or Parker. A midfield with aggression, swagger experience and youth and 75% English. Well, I can dream can’t I?
I’m not sure it’s about leaving Arsenal. I think had we won the league this year he would have been reported to have said (note reported) I have done what I wanted here its time to move on.
I think the lad is Barca. The team is closer to a national team than a Club side for most people in the area, they are the best in the world both in style and quality, the manager is his childhood hero.
How we kept him this long is hard to say.
If Arsenal were the worlds No1, playing the style of football we do, and Bergkamp, or Adams was Manager.
What would it take to stop you signing for the club, they have made it clear enough they want him.
Wherever, Forever, Arsenal
Good read Kelsey.
I quite like the fact that the club have not lowered themselves and responded to latest round of Cesc tranfer histeria. “Barcelona have made no contact” is the only statement to be made, five words that tell us everything — very classy if you ask me.
Morning everyone, welcome brd and welcome back th14,
Good article kelsey, we can’t bury our heads over this one.
It is very odd that all the speculation seems to stem from one report yet all sections of the media are giving it credence because “it makes sense” in a nonsensical sort of way.
I am now beginnig to think that Barca will be a disappointment to Cesc by making noises that they want him but not being prepared to ‘show the money’.
I just want him back, fit and raring to go in an Arsenal shirt at the start of next season.
Morning London and all.
George Graham was interviewed on radio 5 Live last night, and he just gave his opinion on the Cesc story, which wasn’t much different to all the other pundits. He was of the opinion that losing Gallas would be just a big a blow, if Cesc stayed or not,as he believes we don’t have enough quality cover for him.
Good post Kelsey.
No offence intended TH14, but I never quite get the ‘nationality’ thing. I recall our 98 midfield of Parlour, Paddy, Petit and (P-?)overmars.
‘Only'(!!) 25% english but still just about as good a midfield four as you’ll ever find.
Worse still is talk of English grit…I’d love to see that argued in a room with the likes of Paddy, Song and Essien
I’m a Londoner born and bred btw…not that it should make any difference.
Morning kelsey,
I am still of the opinion that the only ‘big signing’ of the the summer will be Chamakh and we won’t have all the new players we need in place before the world cup. Unfortunately, a lot of matters can only be resolved when existing players make their minds up (Gallas, Sol) and that is not helpful.
Kels – that Telegraph article was published on the 14th !!
Every summer is the same,’our’ top players are being courted by either Barca, Real or an Italian team.
I like many other Gooners do not want Cesc to leave, but if he goes, he goes. More worryingly for me is that once again Arsene has stated he does not intend to buy any experienced players prior to the 2010/11 season. IMHO the ideal replacement would be Bordeaux’s Gourcuff, but how much would he cost?
If Cesc does depart to his boyhood dream club and Arsene does not purchase any experience or, at the very least, a replacement for Cesc, then I cannot see us challenging for honors again next season. In fact, I would predict some severe ‘unrest’ on the terraces.
Keep the faith Gooners.
Morning Rasp
Do you mean that you expect Chamakh to be be the only signing subject to what Gallas decides?
S sure – to my mind the reason why there are some fans who call for an English/brit core to the team is so that when players hit their peak there are no calls from their original country to “come home” like we get year in year out, be it Cesc, Thierry or Paddy.
Do the Chavs get destabilising transfer rumours around the core of their team, i.e Lampard, Terry or Essien?
Any half-decent player we get who is not a brit or north European will get overtures from their “boyhood club” or the club that can “take them home” – this does nothing for team stability and the last 5 years has shown it’s adverse effect on trophy winning, or in our case, the lack thereof.
Hi Brigham
This is not meant to be provocative but when did Wenger say that he did not intend to buy experienced players?
I was going to mention that this morning funny enough, Although hes a moody git we are on the Verge of losing a world class centre half and there is not a mumour and thats the position we are already in a poor state, Find it quite strange, We cannot keep losing world class players no matter who they are and in what positions,
Morning London,
No definitely not, I do expect other signings but no ‘names’ and possibly none in the £10-15m bracket that I think we need. I can see us buying a CD, possibly Cahill, but equally likely would be a player not on the radar at the moment.
It is possible we may sign someone like David James to give some experience whilst Chesny comes through, but I don’t think he’ll buy a new keeper unless we can move Almunia on.
I can hardly believe that David Villa went to Barcelona for as little as £34 million.
I was thinking the same thing London. There is no doubt that if a player says “I only want to go to club X” then their value is diminished and Barca are THE club in the world that every player wants to join – AA included
Wow, you are expecting more than me. I reckon that if Gallas and Fabregas stay the only singing we will make is Chamakh.
Rasp. Ur not being negative again are u ? haha
In an odd kind of way GG is right in saying that Gallas is more of a loss. Not so the much the player but the position. The club is over-run with nifty skilful little midfielders and if Cesc goes (which I dont want or see happening just yet) he is probably more easily replaced from within. I think the club could be cleverly using this Cesc business as a smokescreen to disguise other more pressing matters of bringing in a CD.
I am surprised London 🙂 I don’t expect Gallas to stay particularly after what Nasri said. We simply cannot rely on Djourou to stay fit – he is injury prone.
What did Nasri say?
London,
Villa is 28 now so its probably around the right sort of Mark fee wise in my view, and no doubt there are scoring clauses etc invloved,
Id be expecting 3-4 signings even if Fabregas and Gallas stayed we were well short again this season and i think Wenger and The Board are starting to realise for the first time the Fanbase are starting to become uneasy and empty promises will not be tolerated,
OK, this is not an exact quote so nobody jump down my throat – but ‘aparently’ Nasri said that he didn’t get on with Gallas and there were 4 or 5 in the team that felt the same way – or words to that effect 🙄
Morning Chippy
Please understand that there is a difference between what I would like and what I expect.
London,
Morning mate, Ive got yer 🙂 Ive given up expecting it only leaves to dissapointment,
Im still expecting a Mr Frosty Drinks maker for xmas and have been for 30 years lol, Just as Father Xmas has ruined every xmas Wenger ruins every transfer window 🙂
I hear ya Chary…but the reason that no-one leaves Chelsea is purely down to wages.
No one else (bar City now) offers close to the same wages. Look at Lampards last contract which will have him on £130-140k per week as a 33yr old.
If you’re on that sort of money ‘your home town club’ has to wait.
The Brasillian & Argentinian footballers kind of get that bit right…only going back to Brasil for their twilight years.
Unless your Robinbo who can get a rich and stoopid benefactor to fund your ‘homecoming’in your mid 20’s.
Its all about money. Alan Smith to Man U, Milner to whoever this summer, Barry to City “for CL football”, Terrys head turned by £200k pw last summer.
And in terms of loyalty – Sol Campbell, lifelong spud jumps ship for no fee to the sworn enemy.
I love Sol, but still think that was a low down and dirty move on his part.
Chippy – good one, Wenger as the Xmas/Transfer-window Grinch, I can sympathise with that.
What I’m trying to say S Sure is that if we do get players from abroad, their home countries don’t contain teams with a bigger pull than Arsenal – this is why having the French axis could have worked although in our case it was the usual suspects who would tap up our frenchies(Barca, Franco’s team, the Milanese lot.) By such countries I mean Holland, Belgium, the Scandinavian countries – you can then be less likely to see our star player saying “I want to go to my home town/dream club of Halmstads” or something similar. Although I fully expected Cesc to come out with that line to have heard Flamini go on about AC like that and even a Belorussian(Hleb) claiming that Barca are his dream team pissed me off somewhat.
SS.But Sol’s move was extremely funny!!
Villa is almost 29, and a striker is at his peak pre-30. Especially a player like him who relies on pace and instinct as opposed to a power CF like Drogba.
I expect the fee was settled last summer when a deal would have set the fee at €40m plus another season.
Could be the same with Cesc?
Sharkey, quite right that article was on the 14th. but only appeared on Arsenal news this morning. just stirring things up a bit more.
With regards to Chelsea, at least for the moment they have two players (who are extremely well payed) for every position, so one must question some of the players motives for joining them if they hardly ever play.The same thing is, and will continue at City.
I think its a bit harsh to compare Cesc with those 2. He has a genuine love of Barca and also im sure his emotions are still running high after the loss of his grandfather and this is probably having a greater influence on his thinking than is being recognised.
Collymore was at it again last night,berating everything Arsenal and he “claims” that when players agree a contract abroad the wages agreed are net of tax. Can anyone verify that, because i think he is talking tosh, as usual.
By the way I read the BBC pundits, Linekar,Hanson and the rest get 1 million a year for their yearly contribution to old auntie.
I am surprised Lineker isn’t paid more. He is the Beebs most high profile presenter after Jonathan Ross, and Ross is on a €5m contract!
As to the tax situation. It seems probable that the players are paid net. Perhaps at AFC as well, though AA’s moaning about the tax increases would indicate otherwise.
Andy. Everything is supposition, based on the quotes of one journo with an agenda.
It is all Chinese whispers…..
Kelsey – The difference might be that if you negotiated 60k per week net at Arsenal, and the tax rate increased leaving you with say 50k per week then its your loss.
I think top players at Barca and RM have contracts based on maintainig their 60k, so if tax rates increase the ‘gross salary’ is increased sufficiently to maintain net pay at £60k.
The latest tax rises for foreign sportsmen in Spain is going to cost Barca and RM a pretty penny (euro) in salary top ups.
Raddy, yeah Sols move was funny in a way, but my overriding thought is that he was out of order doing that.
Just like when he left us to go ‘overseas’.
Can’t imagine what he tells his kids about showing loyalty and sticking things out !
I realise that BR but it is worth considering that he is still a young man who has worked away from his home and family since he was just a kid. We have all lost people in our lives and it does screw you up emotionally. Im just suggesting that it possibly could be a more realistic reason for his possible request to leave.
Chary..the whammy here is that Cesc’s home town club are one of the biggest in the world and mega succesful of late.
Nicky Barmby didn’t have quite the same pull to return to Hull before his twilight years di dhe… 😉
Collymore is a dispicable piece of shit in every sense of the word,
He is Scum of the Highest order and how any main stream Radio or Tv station can employ a dogging women beater is beyond me, Id rather listen to Kim Jong of North Korea than that peice of Filth,
Sorry had to get that of my chest whenever hes names brought up it sets me off 🙂
The Arsenal Model is almost perfect,Big But time
If only they could add the couple of big signings every year to supplement the youngsters it would be perfect but by not doing so they are selling themselves short,
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1279891/Cesc-Fabregas-tug-war-hots-Barcelona-offer-Alexander-Hleb.html?ITO=1490
Talk about getting desperate for something to write 🙄
Hi irish,
I’ve just read that on NN – I’ll have a sex change and marry Mike Tyson if we take Hleb back 😯
Therein lies the rub S Sure – it’s not such a big deal to be a “big”club if your caztchment area sis so huge – I think the population of Catalonia is over 7 million and an area far in excess of the whole of London let alone the small enclave of north London that includes our catchment area for support/players. Add to that the connection to Catalan nationalism that Barca have(do we ever have “Independence for Islington” banners up at our place?) then there’s no way we can say they have extra special reasons to be a big club. Also there diving tendencies(witness Busquets behaviour to get the Inter palyer sent off) are ghardly the signs of a noble club are there?
I feel there is material for a post debunking the myth of Barcas greatness there – but for someone else though, I’m lazy!
😆 I SOOOOOOOOOOOO hope we sign Hleb now – what will be your new name? Rasputin is a bit too masculine 😉
Ah I shouldn’t laugh that’s not even funny… Hleb 🙄 get the ice-cream truck in.
I could get a guest writer in to write a post that debunks Barca’s “greatness” – he is an Arsenal fan but we are his second club, his first is Madrid and he has a hatred for Barcelona.
Will I ask him to do one?
The tax rate hyke is for everyone in Spain. Apparently a ticket in the gods at Barca is as low as 4 euros. London, may be able to confirm that.They are indeed a unique club, giving all their shirt sponsorship money from UNICEF back to charity.
Morning irish.
Morning Kelsey – will hopefully catch you later on, must be off shopping … well only window shopping but better than nothing ha ha
Laters all.
Rasp. Y r u so sure iron mike would want u ?
Great idea irish – yes please, it would be fascinating to hear the perspective from the other side.
That sounds like a good idea Maire, although to be fair I’m not so keen on General Franco’s team. BTW I didn’t mention their incessant tapping up of our players by their officials, current and ex players in the media sand other unofficial sources.
I used to have a soft spot for Barca – now they can go f**k themselves.
As for their UNICEF gesture, it sounds like the Smashey & Nicey syndrome to me.
😛 andy – he’d probably want me as much as I want Hleb….
Apparently its Barca that pay Unicef !!
If they won nothing for ten even twenty years, Barca would still be ‘more than a club’.
It became more than just a club under Franco’s rule, and is perhaps the greatest single icon of the Catalan ‘nationality’.
haha good answer. The only reason for having Hleb back would be to serve as a lesson to those who dare to leave us. We could maybe wash the kit and scrub the boots and stuff ?
Raspberry – is that your name? – can you send me a photo of yourself please?
Oops should be he not we !
Couldn’t resist it Rasp.
😆 Rocky
I think we all know who Tyson is.
Good work Rocky….lol
Talking of work…catch y’all later
😆 Rocky
What are you all talking about. What did Rocky do?
Rasp pulled Mike Tyson @12.16 following his declaration @ 11.54 – but we think it was Rocky 😉
London, I have been outed as Mike Tyson…
I think we should encourage the blogworld to sponsor the purchase of Hleb.
I watched a movie called Trans America about sex change…. looks a painful business.
A classic example of the bullshit we have to put up with.
This is such a transparent lie it is almost risible.
http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/liverpool-hold-talks-with-former-manchester-united?
London, sorry for not replying to your earlier post sooner, but I have been a bit busy since then.
I am really only going by what he is ‘reported’ as saying the past few months, in that he says he will not be looking to add to our current squad. It has also been reported that Cesc was not happy with players whom Wenger was attempting to bring in for next season.
Obviously I do not know the ‘targets’ or if any really do exist other than in the medias minds, but lets be prudent here, Arsene has not exactly gone for experienced players in recent years has he?
I hope I am wrong, I really do.
Its a very good point that Cesc could be unhappy about AW’s targets – both he and Robin have called for world class players, actually so have Gallas, Campbell and Arshavin – no brainer Arsène.
😳 I promised not to be negative today 😳
All this talk of Barca being Cesc’s boyhood dream club goes over my head. Would any of you with even half the talent he has leave Arsenal’s academy if you were in it?
Players have to treat football as their job not recreation like we do. You can be passionate about your job but you have to be tactful. That’s why he left Barca for us. He wants to go back because he feels the Barca team are on the brink of history and his family lives there. But he realises that winning the PL is the ultimate league trophy and he won’t get a chance to do it otherwise.
LOL, did anyone see that Bobby rejected a move to the MLS team in Philadelphia because the city wasn’t beautiful enough? No va va voom in Pennsylvania, obviously.
Bobby Pires, another one of Arsene’s mistakes in letting him go too early. 😦
I genuinely think this may be the year that AW has noticed the error of his ways. Sol has been awesome and the way he has inspired a bit of fight in the side might just be the turning point. We need winners, people who have done it before and want it again. It may not be massive signings but I think when he says experience it could be more like Sol. Players who can influence behind the scenes aswell as on the pitch. How long did pv sign on for at city ?
I saw an e mail purportedly from the club saying “Cesc has a long term contract at the club and he is very much part of our long term plans” as well as saying that “it was not our policy to comment on unfounded media speculation.”
Read into that what you will.
Must be the good weather and a lack of tittle tattle that has led to this hiatus.
It being sunny, I am heading to the harbour for a cold Tuborg. Lovely.
Get one in for me too please BR. Sounds heavenly.
Aren’t any harbours where I am.
A bit quiet on here.
I should say so ……..
Phew, thought I was talking to myself. How are you Peaches?
I had an idea for a post about 1987 and its relevance for us today. Watcha think?
I think that would be brilliant RL. Please write it……
If not tonight will try to do by end of play tomorrow.
Excuse my ignorance but why is 1987 relevant?
Aha, that would give it away Peaches!
I was being a mummy of 2 small girls so I hope I am excused …………….. just looked it up though and we won the league cup 2-1 against the pool – Charlie Nicholas scored the winner from a Perry Groves cross.
Obviously none of that is relevant 😦
Ok, thats good – go for it then, I’ll wait for the surprise 😆
Darn it – you beat me to it: I was going to suggest we bring back Champagne Charlie.
Two grown-up girls now presumably… all the hard work is over, right?
I’m sure you know that grown up girls can be just as difficult as little ones 😛
My experience of grown up girls has been very rewarding 😉
Yes – I have realised that parenting doesn’t stop when they grow up.
Do we need a post for tomorrow Peaches?
Ah 1987 – what was I doing in 1987? Learning how to walk, how to talk – all those toddler type things 😀
I’ll ask the madrista to do the post but put in a few clauses so he doesn’t get carried away. See what he comes up with.
Bloody hell Irish. Don’t gloat.
But BR you got to see the greats like Brady and George play so you win really unless we go on a couple of decades of great success and fantastic players.
You got TH14, DB10, PV4, RP7, and now you have CF4 etc. Plus when I am “past”, you will still be enjoying the new superstars.
I guess the difference is that I saw the naivety of football before it got taken over by the media and foreign players and owners. And for that I am so grateful.
And I grew up in London in the 60’s with the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix etc etc. I think I was incredibly fortunate.
And I grew up in the era of the Spice Girls and Boyzone woop-de-doo 😆
I am happy I grew up with computers and t’internet though. And also the 90s was a decade of unprecedented success for the Rep.Ireland and I remember Italia ’90 and USA ’94 so its all good.
U just missed the best one Irish. 86…oh to turn back the clock
Of course 1986 was the best one Andy – it was the year I came into the world 😉 😆
haha. I was 14. Lineker and beardsley gr8 wc
andy – what a WC that was. Lineker’s goal against Germany – Spud or no Spud, it was just such a great moment.
I was a bit older than 14, however.
Changing topic – still nothing about Chamakh. What’s going on there then?
Sry RL been running around after my own teenager. No its all scarily quiet init ? Apart from Ayling leaving ! Is it just me or is that a shock ?
Just you I think. He’s just one of many young players who don’t quite make the grade at The Arse.
I must’ve got him confused for some1 else then. I thought he was one of the better ones.
Morning andy
You’re right about Ayling, I saw him last season in the Youth FA cup team. At the time we were short of defenders and he was doing a fine job – I thought he’d push through but obviously not.
Morning peaches.
I am still on and off the internet. How many of our youth players have come through into the first team in the last 5 seasons. Gibbs and ……
Hi kelsey
Would you count Traore? Maybe Eastmond is going to make it too.
The thing is we have an academy and its going to produce some that don’t make it and others that could but have no way of getting into the team and want to play elsewhere.
I don’t know the answer. It was fantastic watching the youth team last season win the FA cup. For all the excitement around JET, Sanchez Watt and Simpson I can’t see any of them making it with Arsenal – watch me have to eat my words on that one 😉
Wooo, what’s this about why is Ayling leaving, that boy was the great white, attacking, English hope.
……..and what happens to the ones that don’t make it with us, its not like they set the premiership on fire in another team and we wish we’d kept them.
I thought he was peaches. Bit of a contradiction really that The Arsenal keep telling everyone that we are a young side but younger players keep leaving for lack of first team chances.
Morning London – I don’t know, andy said last night that Ayling was off…………..
Like Merida, Andy?
Morning andy – how did you know about Ayling?
Morning all
Andy, where has that story come from?
Thats true peaches 8.32. I’ve lost count of the times i’ve been mad about us letting some1 go only for them to disappear and prove Mr Wwenger correct.
Its only Arsenal.com last night.
Andy
Why do you get mad when Wenger is proved right, I don’t understand why that is a bad thing, or have I misunderstood?
Morning London, Peaches and Andy.
London, I think Andy is poking fun at himself, getting mad at the time when they leave and then realising afterwards that AW was right.
For what it is worth I think Cesc will leave if not this year then next because the board will decide they can’t afford to keep him, just like Man U did with Ronaldo. Barcelona can’t afford to buy him either but as we all know that won’t stop them.
Man City offering £30m for Milner now I hear on the radio. So Cesc is £40-50m?
Haha. Thats not what i meant. I get mad at the decision to release the player only for AW to be proved right and me proved wrong. ( not mad anymore)
For more on the Ayling story take a look here : http://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/
Jorge’s site has the best reporting on the AFC youth teams that I have seen.
Morning Alfa. U get what i mean.
Thanks alfa for that link – I’d say he’s a bright boy, he may still end up being a success. If he works hard at Yeovil he could yet get plucked by another prem side and his Arsenal background will be points in his favour.
That one’ll make andy mad 😉
Citeh offering £30m for Milner is not real trading though is it – they could just as easily offer £40m
Going back to barca, who are apparently nearly 500 million euros in debet i read the following.
Since its founding, Barcelona has never worn corporate advertisements on their shirt. On 14 July 2006, the club announced a five year agreement with UNICEF, which includes having the UNICEF logo on their shirts. The agreement has the club donate €1.5 million per year to UNICEF (0.7 percent of its ordinary income, equal to the UN International Aid Target, cf. ODA) via the FC Barcelona Foundation.[48]
Traore is he really a star in the making. Eastmond i have high hopes for.he has a good mentality for one so young.
i must revert back to Gallas again. I actually think to tie him down for at least another year is imperative, as vermaelen and djorou as first choice,doesn’t inspire me.If this over 30 rule, which differs with every player is enforced and we only offer him a one year contract, I believe he will be off. For all his antics, emotions and sometimes attitude, he is still a great player, and I hope Wenger is looking for someone equally as good, regardless if Gallas stays or leaves.
I can’t believe it, I was talking about the wrong player, I was getting my Lukes muddled up, I thought we were talking about Luke Freeman not Luke Ayling doh.
Morning Kelsey
I am with you on Gallas. Perhaps the only previso I would put on it is to see how he does in the world cup, I am concerned that he might be injured beyond repair.
That UNCEF-Barça situation drives me nuts……it is so disingenuous.
Morning london.
Injured, never 😉 We have an injury free zone at our club.Unfortunately, it doesn’t apply to our players.
peaches any news from Mr. dein the agent ?
I agree with Alfa.
Thats funny kelsey and a little spooky I have to say. I’ll have to get my spy onto it – she had a great time yesterday telling me all about Mr – the leader of the 2018 World Cup Bid team – Dein’s new job and I forgot to get her to probe Mrs about any other news.
I’d be happy to see Gallas go to be honest. If he stays it gives Arsene an excuse not to buy better. I would admit that last year he was good but the injuries are only going to get worse at his age. Time to find another TV.
NEW POST
Morning all,
Sorry I can’t hang around. Peaches – do we have a post?
