Lalalalala.......=)


Yipeee!!! The "next Zidane" Samir Nasri has finally come to the Emirates! He has been signed up on a long-term deal( I'm guessing a 4 year deal) for an undisclosed fee (reports say 12-13 million!). He'll don the number 8 shirt, which was previously worn by Ian Wright and Ljunberg.

He'll most probably take over Hleb's spot as an attacking midfielder, since Hleb has finally decided he wants to leave the club. It seems that first he lashes out at Fabregas and Wenger, saying that Fabregas is selfish as he takes every scoring opportunity unlike him and also said that he and Wenger had differences on his transfer. He also said that Wenger was happy to see him go! After a few days, he says that Fabregas is a good friend and Wenger is a brilliant manager, and understands his needs well. Only one word here - W.E.I.R.D!!

According to reports, Hleb claims that serious negotiations are being held between the London club and the folks at Barca, and that they will reach a deal soon. Barcelona have proposed a 13 million pound offer for the attacking midfielder, who claims to be 'mentally tired' of London life.
Samir Nasri is very optimistic, and is looking forward to playing his first game soon- in Hleb's spot.

In other news, Gilberto Silva may well be on his way to Panathinaikos, after Arsenal had agreed to transfer him to the Greeks. All that is remaining is agreeing personal terms, after which the deal will be done and Gilberto will leave the club. The deal is said to be worth 1-3 million euros. Well, the cash will be needed badly, because it seems that a certain player wants to badly join Arsenal.

Yep, Arshavin wants to join Arsenal, according to his agent, as his club have set up a steep 19 million Euros for the playmaker. After reports that a London club had their offer turned down, Arshavin and Zenit are playing the waiting game for Arsenal to splash the cash. Hopefully that happens!

Oh yea, the boring Adebayor Bermuda Triangle. Barcelona have been very quite for a last week or two, but it seems Milan are getting very interested- not for long. It seems that Ronaldinho will be going to the San Siro, which means that Milan might not want Adebayor anymore. I'm starting to think that Adebayor is very overrated, since he performed well only for one season and his price sky-rockets!! Let's see what he does next season, only then his pay raise demands will be justified.

Meanwhile, it looks like Eduardo will join the Gunners in pre-season training from the July 21st, which is good news. I'm tipping Ed to score plenty of goals in the season to come!!
