I am still a little sad by the departure of Alex Hleb to Barcelona last night. I knew he was going, it was only a matter of time but when it finally happens it is all so final
I believe it is to keep in-line with the fantastic work Nike have done for us in the last couple of seasons. Of course it is not for us, its for them
So it looks very likely that Arsene will sign a player in that position before the window closes. Apparently Bishcoff is an attack minded midfielder and in my eyes Diaby is also an attacking midfielder
It appears that Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Adebayor, Hleb, Arshavin, Drogba are all linked to each other this summer. I expect this years transfers to come right to the end of the window
I believe denilson and diaby can come in for cesc, rosicky and nasri will compete for the left midfield spot but we need more competition on the right side for walcott
As a club we are are fine, in fact more than fine we are flurishing because as Le Professeur has been planning all along we now have a youth system that will in a few years make us a self sustainable club which is not reliant on the flawed transfer window
We cannot expect to hold onto players if our first team are getting paid half or quarter of what other big clubs are given them. It simply cannot work in the long term
I am just a little confused and concerned about the price tag. It seems ridiculous that he has a £24 million price tag above his name at 27 years of age. Either he drops his age which may prove a little difficult or his price tag gets lowered
Thierry Henry is one Arsenal legend never to be compared nor waived, but every hero has his sibling, and it wasn't only after Friday's news that talks of one new look alike were embarked
As we sit here a week away from the first game of pre-season, I have honestly no clue as to how Le Boss will play it, and I'm sure many of you are the same
