It's true, once again, nothing has happened today. We've been linked (again) with the same players we have been being linked with since the season ended. Couldn't someone at least come up with someone new we might be interested in. If this carries on much longer, I'll have to start making things up myself. Eboue to Spurs for £1 billion anyone?
The only actual interesting news articles I have come across today are these two:
I have included this article, although it's mainly about Liverpool, because it really annoys me. Not only is Benitez already making excuses about why his team will again fail to challenge for the titles (of course it's not because of his rotation system), but also because he says:
"It's more difficult [to win the league] because after two years of Chelsea winning the league and spending big money, United needed to do the same. They started spending big money and Arsenal were also spending big money on young players. We are trying to do the same but because they are continuing to spend big money, it makes it more difficult to catch up ... We will try to do our best and the key for me is to not talk about the title."
The implication that Liverpool aren't able to keep up with our (or even Man Utd's and Chelsea's) transfer spending is completely ridiculous. Whilst we have operated at a net tranfer profit for the last few years, Liverpool have spent huge amount of money. Last season alone they bought Torres, Mascherano, Skrtel, Babel, Lucas, Benayoun and various other youngsters. It's pathetic from Benitez and does Wenger a disservice.
In happier news, we have an interview with Theo Walcott in The Times, in which he comes across as a great lad really. He doesn't seem to have any of the laddish preoccupations with partying, cars and girls that other young English players his age seem to. He also reveals that he turned down the chance to join Chelsea, so that makes him a double-legend. Theo is probably the player I am most excited about watching next season, Vela and Nasri (probably) included. He looked so promising at the end of the last season, and I just hope he gets a regular starting slot over Eboue next time around.
Does anyone have any interesting Arsenal news? Let me know! I'm bored out of my skull!
