The Ramblings of the media about a Swiss Midfielder..

Yesterday in the Guardian there was a story regarding Arsenal being about to sign a Swiss midfielder, Gokhan Inler, from Udinese. Now there is nothing new in a paper writing some sort of "so and so is going to join this club or another" but it's interesting when looking at the story from living here in Switzerland. The same story was in the local Swiss press on Monday and it seems that all the English paper has done is scoured around the European websites and after a while found it because it's a straight lift really. There is no real evidence but merely talk from the player's agent who apparently "spoke" with Arsene - do we believe it?
Arseblog talks about Arsenal's final pre-season game (against Sevilla) last night - not something I've seen much of and I'm trying desperately to find out if I can get to see our first competitive game against Twente Enschede on Wednesday.
I'm glad the real Olympic sports have started now so we don't have to worry about watching the football and concentrate on strange stuff like Archery, Judo and, this morning, the second of the road races - if you watched this you would have seen the absolutely foul weather conditions they all had to endure.
