It’s on the radio that Gallas had a clause saying he can leave Chelsea if somebody offered £7.5 million.
If he works with Wenger he can get in the French team for 2004.
Gallas can improve his daily life by 500% by going to work in a luxury training ground, not an old pavilion at Harlington with noisy Jumbos skimming the crossbar as they land.
If this story is true it clarifies something I’ve always suspected about Arsene Wenger’s long-term aim : he is determined to build the fastest football team of all time.
Papers say United and Arsenal are competing for Ayala of Valencia.
Ayala is the best centreback in the world in my view, much better than Nesta, but I don’t see him coming to Arsenal.
Love to see it. But it looks highly improbable.Too old, too expensive.
