Chelsea have snapped up what we missed out on. It is amazing how we can manage to drag out one simple transfer over eons while other clubs get their deals done before you can say Juan Mata. We could have got him as a replacement for Cesc but for some reason we twiddled our thumbs and shuffled our feet, let the buyout clause expire and now Chelsea have acquired Mata for only 4m over the 22m deal that was offered to us. Joy.
Let us move on to what Arsene Wenger has been upto on Day1 of the ten day deadline I set him.
1. Edin Hazard: It is rumoured we have put a 15m bid for him. We desperately need a quick striker who can make runs into the six yard area. With Hazard already having played with Gervinho in Lille he might not take too much time to get into the groove. It will be a tough transfer battle though as I don't think Lille will be ready to let two of their best players leave in the same season. They are not Arsenal, are they?
2. Some M'Vila: A tough defensive midfielder apparently. We have never had a good strong player in that area since Flamini left although Song has shown some great form over the last season. With Frimpong as backup for Song, I am not sure if this area is an immediate concern.
3. Phil Jagielka: Let this be true. Finally we seem to be bidding for a quality centreback with EPL experience. Last time we sent a derisory bid to Everton we were sent a return envelope telling us where exactly we could put that bid. Our club's name being Arsenal only helped David Moyes make Arse related puns. Hopefully this time the bid is good enough to buy him. Heaven knows we need a centreback!
4. Anin: Some guy called Anin. From some club called Sochaux. That is all I know about this gossip. I have a bad feeling out of all the rumours only this one will actually go through. That is Wenger for you.
