There's very little news of note to report today. Everywhere seems to be rehashing the same transfer deals that have been circulating for the last few days. It's a shame we haven't heard any more about Nasri, but I imagine the club are still negotiating with him and his agent. As I said before, it would be much more worrying if we had his agent coming out with different statements as to the progress of the transfer, which would suggest he was trying to encourage other clubs to bid, and thus drive up his transfer fee and wages. Give it time, if we haven't heard in a week or so, then it might become a little more concerning.
The biggest thing I have come across today is this report from L'Equipe about Jean II Makoun, the Lille defensive midfielder who has been quite heavily linked with the club. For those of you who don't speak French the article says something along the lines of: Jean II Makoun has confirmed he will leave Lille in the summer, there are a number of clubs interested in him, particularly us (who are his preference) and Juventus. Makoun says that he "needs to move to a bigger club, he believes Lille will understand, and it could even be a good thing for them". He may also move to one of the bigger clubs in Ligue 1. From what I've heard, Makoun is a good player, and could possible make a good Flamini replacement, but there doesn't seem to be too much reason to get excited yet.
We've also news from Gael Clichy, who has told the press that we will not make the same mistakes we made this season in our challenge for the title next time around. Clichy was already one of my favourite players at Arsenal, but the way he has committed his future to us this summer, and the positive things he has to say about the club just make me like more and more. Not only is he a better player than Cole, he's also not a whinging, money-grabbing, syphilitic, twat.
There seems to be a lot of people getting very stressed with the lack of solid transfer activity at the club so far this summer. There's no need to panic! Take a couple and deep breaths and remember... The Summer has only just begun, and there's over three months until the transfer window closes, so there is plenty of time for Wenger and the club to sort out all the transfers we need. It should be even easier this summer, as he has already come out and told us the kind of player he wants to buy. It is almost certainly a positive thing that we are taking our time about this; Wenger wants to make sure he gets the best possible players for the best possible prices. There's no point in rushing, or in fans worrying about the lack of action.
That's all for today - but if anyone knows anything more about this Chantome bloke from PSG, other than he's a 20 year old defensive midfielder? If you do, let me know in the comments!
