Nasri, Robinho and other Rubbish

Good Afternoon Gooners!

A lot of exciting news today, according to l'Equipe, the deal for Nasri is going to be finalised in the next couple of days. From all I have seen and heard, he is a great player, and would be an excellent addition to the squad. I don't know how accurate the Zidane comparisons are, but if there's any truth in it, and we do sign the guy, this could be a huge deal for the club.

Also, In Marca, we have been linked with a deal for Robinho, who we all know is a player Wenger has long admired. If it's true, fantastic, but the story also links him to Spurs, which is just ridiculous, so I doubt there's much in it. Admittedly I can't speak Spanish at all, but I can make out the words Robinho, London, agent, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, and that his contract release is 150m Euros. I reckon it's just another player angling for a new contract.

In other news, Lyon president Aulas has said he wants Ben Arfa to stay in France, so us singing him looks very unlikely. Juventus have been linked with a £5 million deal for Big Phil, Real Madrid are linked with Hleb, and Van Persie thinks he'll be fit to play for Holland in the Euros, which means he'll come back injured and we won't see him play till December. Probably.

I was very pleased yesterday to see the site smash through the 100 hits mark, and it's now well on the way to 200! How far can we go today? If we can improve on yesterdays 73 unique visitors ... who knows? Thanks to Chris from Gooner talk to be the first to comment on one of my posts!

I'm just off to play a game of 6-a-side, but I'll be back later to post the third (and final) part of my season summary. Adios...
