- Rovers 'excited' by Ince - Perhaps this is continuity by any means necessary? Ince another branch of the SAF coaching tree and could bring a similar approach/tone to Rovers that Mark Hughes did.
- Milan confirm Adebayor focus - Don't know how much of this is bluster, but Arsenal really need to hold on to K2. He gave them something different than what they've had over the past few years in an aerial threat. It meant that teams had to respect crosses from the fullbacks which opened the middle of the pitch up for Cesc to work. It doesn't appear that Benchtner is ready to step up to being an every week player at this level, so Arsene may have to look to bring in someone new to partner RvP (while he's healthy). Any names come to mind? RSC, perhaps?
- Podolski hits out at Bayern - It would be nice to see Podolski in the Premier League. He's +10 for sure! Surely he'd only move for European football, so that means Spurs, Everton, or one of the big boys. Wouldn't he look nice in blue -- either in the capitol or the north west.
- Arshavin prefers Spain move Arshavin/Messi playing in behind Barca's new center forward? Reminiscent of what the Dutch were doing this summer, or Milan did with Kaka and Seedorf.
- Nihat heads home - Huge loss for the Turks to only compound their problems with injuries and suspensions.
If Arsenal lose K2, Hleb and Rosicky they'll have a tough time remaining one of the "big four." I doubt any big name signings will replace them given Arsenal's very public stance on keeping salaries down. Not that Wenger's ever been enamoured with big names, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThey've just landed Nasri today, so things are looking up. But as I wrote, I think they need to keep K2, or replace him with someone comparable.
