I’m losing the ability to be annoyed by summer football stories.
But today’s headline on those two strikers looks like a very silly one.
Robert Lewandowski is a powerhouse technician, a centre forward who can hold it up, play runners in, and score every type of goal, including spectacular headers.
As a target man, finisher and athlete, Lewa is the real deal – and Bayern wouldn’t sell him.
Dortmund have missed Lewandowski more than any other player, although it took me six months to figure out why.
PSG’s Edinson Cavani is just a raw lone ranger with a lot of power.
Not a prolific scorer and not half as talented as Alexis Sanchez.
Man United are in Seattle today and keeper David De Gea is with them. I hope they are able to keep him.
Petr Cech is in Singapore with Arsenal.
I started writing a piece about Arsenal before Wimbledon but there’s so much going on around me that I haven’t had time to finish it.
First to admit I’m not a big pre-season man.
Yes, I went to loads of Charity Shield games at Wembley as a journalist but only because we live in that area.
I prefer the real thing.
The last pre-season game I went to was Brentford v Arsenal and I think that was in the early Nineties. When the kids were young we spent 14 summers in the Algarve and one in the USA and I didn’t mind missing Arsenal’s first game or two because it’s such a long season.
