With the transfer window almost closed, I spent a lot of the day refreshing the BBC transfer day page hoping I would see – Wenger confirms late transfer of Deco/Messi/Ronaldinho/Ronaldo/Pele/George Best to Arsenal. But no. I did feel disheartened until someone mentioned that this month will probably see the return of Van Persie, Toure and the rest of the African nations posse. I rekon I’d perfer that lot coming back than half a dozen sulky Anelkas. So I feel quite smug now, as I imagine Wenger does when he sees the millions splashed out.
My only concern is that with Arsenal’s reported millions in the bank and massive annual turnover, what exactly is all that money for? Without success on the pitch its all meaningless. Perhaps they can give us all massive cuts in season ticket prices next year!
Anyway – its February – almost – we’re level with MUFC at the top. Champions League still ongoing, FA Cup still ongoing and the team is starting to purr again. Happy days. So you can take your transfer window and slam it shut now for all I care.
See you in the Bergkamp Gallery
