Gallas is off to Roma, Van Persie is heading to Juventus with Melo coming the other way but hold on a sec, Veloso is key to the Melo deal

Hello again,

First thing is first, judging by reports it looks like our players have come through the internationals without any injuries, well on the surface at least. We will know more when Arsene is faced by the cameras. It is time to keep everything we have crossed.

Super Nic has now scored his third goal in three games which is fantastic for him and hopefully our run in. His header against Stoke was amazing, the type of leap and header that we have missed this season. I didn’t really do it justice when writing about the game because of the obvious but if he keeps putting himself in the right place then hopefully he can continue his run of goals. Burnley at home is a good fixture to attempt to continue his run.

Carlos Vela was the only other Arsenal goal scorer from yesterday. He came off the bench and stuck one away for Mexico against New Zealand. We haven’t quite seen as much from Vela as we may have expected, I guess he is still physically developing and will only get an extending run when he is in the correct condition for Premier League football.

For some reason the papers are going transfer crazy. I could have sworn the transfer window was closed. Even though, the hacks have come to the following conclusions. Gallas is off to Roma, Van Persie is heading to Juventus with Melo coming the other way but hold on a sec, Veloso is key to the Melo deal.

Yawn!

However I would like to know what the deal is (quite literally if one is being done) regarding William Gallas. I am sure that the club are working hard to keep the player as he has probably played the best football of his Arsenal career this season. His partnership with Vermaelen has been great but his future depends on what he wants to do. Does he want to test out another league in this stage of his career? Who knows, but you cannot blame him if that is what he would like to do. Personally I hope he stays like I am sure many Gooners do.

Did you all see the England game? I flicked it on to take a look at Theo, his first England game for a while now. Unfortunately for Theo he couldn’t influence the game as he would have wanted. He is still lacking regular games so expecting him to make such an impact was perhaps asking a little too much of him. Had he come off the bench when England improved in the second half then it could have been a different story.

What struck me about the game, especially the first half was the lack of technique from the England players was quite apparent. Egypt played some wonderful one touch football while the home side looked very square and lacked imagination. So many English players are one dimensional. The only multidimensional player from that side last night is Wayne Rooney.

England pressed higher up the pitch and played in their half much more, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Peter Crouch turned the game. How frustrated would you feel being Walcott watching Wright-Phillips make the impact that he would have wanted to make.

Mohamed Zidan looks like an Arsenal player, a very gifted forward who is plying his trade in Germany. I was surprised to find out that he was 28, I thought he was younger.

Sol Campbell has been praised by both Tommy V and Gaely C (sorry)

You could feel his presence out there against Stoke, he was furious about Ramsey’s injury and defended very well throughout the game. His late celebrations for the goals and then his contribution to the post match huddle showed that big Sol is very much in this title race with our boys.

A big game player who wears his heart on his sleeve. I wouldn’t mind him saving his legs for the Burnley game to be fresh for the Porto game coming up at the Emirates.

Back tomorrow.
