Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wanted Karim Benzema but will now turn his attention to morroco forward Chamakh if Adebayor leaves this summer he was asked about Chamakh and he replied;
‘Yes, but only in the event of a departure. There is one who interested me, but he left for Real Madrid.’
‘I did not make an approach because i would never have thought that lyon would sell this year’
Now i’m sorry but i think this is a mistake nearly as big as last summer when we waited until the last minutes of the transfer window to sign Alonso, he could have even enquired about a first-rejection contract where if lyon are to sell Benzema we would have first choice. Oh well we will have to hope that Chamakh is as good as Wenger thinks he is. I must admit i havn’t seen a lot of him but he seems skillful and is apparently very dangerous in the air.
The most un-original and boring transfer rumour of the summer looks set to run on into the new season as once again cesc Fabregas is linked with Barcelona, i don’t knjow how many times the poor guy has to come out and say ‘i’m staying at Arsenal’ before the media and even some of the ‘Arsenal blogs’ get off his back. One day he will go to Barcelona but that is not for a long time yet. Laporta once again opened his big mouth saying:
“Cesc Fabregas has the Barcelona DNA in his body and we know that he wants to play for this club,”
“At the moment he is the leader at Arsenal and a very important player for them. But Cesc is wanted by me, by the coach Pep Guardiola and by the sport director Txiki Begiristain.
“We are concentrating all of our efforts on it, but at the same time we have a lot of respect for Arsenal.
“We have positive relations with Arsenal so it will not be an easy topic to talk to them about.”
In other news; Kieran Gibbs has signed a new long-term deal with the club, which after last season i think he deserves he looks like he could be a great player for Arsenal and England in years to come. Also unconfirmed reports this morning suggest that Robin Van Persie has signed a new deal keeping him at the club until 2014 which would be great news if it is true.
Finally what is Fergie thinking? If Michael Owen is the best he can get, we may aswell not sign anyone else. Haha back tommorow.
