Recent News and Rumours – by JG
Well, Arsenal fans can release a collective sigh of relief, Salomon Kalou has signed a four-year contract with Lille in Ligue 1. All joking aside, this is a perfect example of how the media can manipulate some fans so easily. There were hordes of people commenting, saying things like “ohhhh noooo not Kalou! He is not good at all!” Which is understandable, because he is very average; but the truth of the matter is, Arsenal were not even attempting to sign him at all.
Reports have emerged that Arsenal are closer to finding a buyer for Marouane Chamakh. The Sun says Fiorentina are ready to lay down £4million for Arsenal striker Chamakh. Apparently a source who knows Chamakh “closely” (probably his agent, or his shisha dealer) has said, “The Italian option is very attractive.”
This coincides with the possibility of a Stevan Jovetic transfer. Offer Chamakh and £14 million? Not an unreasonable business proposition in my opinion, and Arsenal are more that capable of doing it; I mean come on, £12 million for Olivier Giroud? That was a fantastic piece of bargaining to sign Giroud for that amount. ManShitty would have probably spent £18 million (if they didn’t have Dzeko already).
The Telegraph says Juventus hope to beat Manchester City in the race to sign Van Persie. According to the rumours Juventus are willing to break their own wage structure by paying Van Persie close to the £200,000 per week that would be on offer at City, but they will be more reluctant to pay a transfer fee above £15 million. I don’t really feel like elaborating on this because I’m sick and tired of discussing RVP’s family dishonoring nonsense, but I will say this…Would he really move to Manchester City; and risk the reaction he would get from Arsenal fans when he plays in a sky blue jersey at the Emirates?
Anyway, that’s all for now, let us know what you think.
ARSENAL FOR LIFE
