Arsenal are about to sign three players.
I was staggered by the latest whisper : Arsenal will sign three experienced players this week.
Three new internationals.
Two play in the EPL already.
Wow ! I never thought this would happen.
Makes good commercial sense. Good players put bums on seats.
Wenger has finally realised that he has to do this to keep his job.
Hallelujah !
But it\’s hard to unload the dross.
Because Dead Wood Rovers is a highly-paid team of flaky failures.
Wenger buys potential and this lot have been at Arsenal for far too long and they’re paid far too much money and they’re very hard to shift. Nobody wants them. What a surprise !
Clubs have been calling Arsenal for months but they\’re shocked by the wages these clowns are on. I had that confirmed way back in June. They say, “You’re paying him what?”
And that’s the end of the conversation.
No other club in England has so many average players earning megamoney.
You\’re dealing with egos and heavy contracts and it\’s very difficult to unload Almunia, Eboue, Squillaci, Bendtner, Chamakh, Vela and Fabianski,
Only Clichy has been sold so far.
Denilson has been loaned.
Bottom line : Wenger has paid multi-millions to donkeys and posers.
Good news : AS Roma have asked about Chamakh to replace Vucinic, who has just been sold to Juventus for 15m euros.
