Hello again, the anticipated arrival of Auxerre right back, Bacary Sagna (I always thought it was Bakary..but who knows), to Arsenal has been completed today. The transfer was undisclosed but im hearing figures of around 5 million pounds which could rise to 7 million pounds. The 24 year old will wear the number 3 shirt previously worn by a major cunt. (As I'm sure you all hate to remember)

Some photos and quotes here. I must say the new kit fonts, I dont like them, the letters look far too small.

Sagna himself seemed pretty happy, saying the usual junk new signings say. "Bak" as his nickname goes also gave a little insight on himself and the transfer, saying that he prefers playing at Right Back although playing at Left Back (like the cunt, remember) achieves "The same result."  Another positive is he expects to adapt to the english game immediately. Unlike the big clumsy guy from brazil we had last season...ugh.

Many people have raised question marks as to why Sagna has been signed given that Hoyte and Eboue have both recently signed long term contracts. Although Wenger does claim that Sagna can play in midfield a bit, I suspect he'd only play there in case of emergency. Eboue, I think will shift into right midfield next season leaving Hoyte and Sagna in Right Back. Due to Eboue's main weakness being defense, and his danger when he attcks (see Van Persies Blinding goal away to Charlton, Henry's Header against Porto at the Grove, or even the cause of the free kick that gave us the goal in the champions league final) and you feel Eboue could make a good Right winger. But that's strictly my opinion, I do believe it strongly, though I must say. Besides one of them could always move to left back if needed and we could find cover for right midfield somewhere as well.

I must ask though, Where does this Matty Flamini? I heard a week ago that he had spoken to Wenger at the beginning of Pre-season training, and he had agreed to stay and play at rght back. I'm thinking for a player who had announced in February that he is leaving, and whom Wenger hadn't played since then, what's taking so long for him to leave. I feel he is underrated and I'd like for him to stay and fill in at Left Back or something, but for a transfer that seemed so concrete, what is taking so long?

In other news, Freddie's high wages appear to have stopped his Fiorentina move, instead he could be going to Manchester City. Seeing him play for another England team would be very sad indeed,but he loves Arsenal, and we certainly Love him, we all knew his time was coming. All I can say is; Thank you for everything (including the 5.5 million quid we'd get) and Best of Luck, Freddie!

Reported Arsenal target, Ryan Babel has signed for Liverpool for about 13.5 million pounds. While I think the fee is a little outrageous, I like Ryan Babel, a lot. I would have liked seeing him here, he is a pacy, skilled, young winger. What makes me think though is that his move comes 10 days after he claimed "As for next season I will be with Ajax. But I will no doubt be an Arsenal player" hmm..I'm clueless on that.

The Independent still thinks we could sing Oba Oba, I don't know..we could but I doubt Wenger would want all of RVP, Adebayor, Dudu (cuz I refuse to call him Eduardo), Bendtner, Martins, and possibly Theo, in attack. It seems to crowded, plus having oba would take time away from Bendtner and Theo, So I don't think it will happen.

I honestly believe this is all for the transfer window, except for those 16 year olds Wenger signs, keeps for two seasons, then sells them for quite a bit more than what he paid to some other team. Pretty smart investment if you ask me.

Squash any shit rumors you hear about Wenger telling Cesc to wait one year before they both move to barcelona simply because it's a ple of Horseshit.

Villareal's player of the year award went to Pascal Cygan. Funny stuff.

Any news on Giles Grimandi filling in the Dein role, (no not the backstabbing the rest of the board and trying to sell us to an american role, the other role, the football one) Or any news of the still confusing "third Kit" issue would be appreciated, as well as your comments.

Thanks, have a good one! ( I'm sure I forgot something..)

  STOP Everything!

Yesterdays reported 3rd kit that appeared on Gunnerblog, and that I commented on has turned out to be Arsenal's Training Top for the 2007/2008 season. I spotted it on the club's official website. Well it looks pretty nice for a training top. Congrats to a guy who posted on my comments and said "the 3rd kit" would look better if it were a training top. Nice eye.

Not a bad looking training top to be honest...but the mystery remains what is our 3rd kit for next season? I honestly think Arsenal will do what they've been doing for the past few seasons and use the previous away kit (in this case last years yellow one) as the third kit.

As you were.
