Well there wasn't much about Adebayor today, but Hleb is making plenty of headines. Earlier today he was quoted talking about Wenger and Cesc. Some interpreted the quotes as bashing his manager and supposed friend. His attacks on Wenger were nothing more than saying that he and the manager did not share the same opinons about his role in the team. Doesn't really sound like slammng to me. Then he said of Fabregas, "With scoring opportunities he's more selfish than I am. Given the chance to shoot he always goes for it - unlike me." Again, I don't really see this as nasty. More just stating the truth. To anyone who remotely follows Arsenal it's obvious Cesc and Hleb are friends. I think this was more stating their differing styles of play. Finally, he spoke of his future, "I don't know where I will play next season. It's being negotiated with two clubs and will be decided soon. I would prefer to move to Barcelona." Well, I'm sorry Mr. Hleb, but I don't think they're really in for you. I really wish you would give us a chance and realize the big clubs really aren't after you. We could use you as you are a great player.

Now, that was much earlier today. The interesting bit is that later on today he gave another interview stating, "In some newspapers it was mentioned that I have attacked Arsene Wenger and Cesc Fabregas. But let me tell you: This is not true! The statements in the papers are definitely not my statements. I would never ever say something disrespectful about them. And there is a simple reason for this: Cesc is a very good friend of mine and Arsene is one of the persons I respect most." As I said, the media is rehashing old quotes to make things interesting. I really think Hleb has realized the fact Barcelona aren't after him. There's no room for him in their attack and he'd likely be on the bench. In my opinion, there's a good chance of Hleb staying at the Emirates. And that won't upset me one bit when you think about the depth we'd have on the wings or in the slot:

Rosicky, Hleb, Nasri, Walcott, V. Persie, Vela, and the cunt Eboue can all be effective out there, especially the first four.

Now on to Chelsea news and Scolari's interview. Chelsea turned down Inter's first bid (less then seven million quid) for Fat Frank. It's being reported that their next bid won't be any higher than £11 million. Scolari, however, said of Frank,  "I asked him if he wanted to stay at Chelsea, not only for this season but for more time. He told me after 15 minutes that he wants to stay and he wants to play for Chelsea for many years. " Well, I don't know if that's what Chelsea supporters wanted to hear or not. If I were them, I'd prefer him to leave and let Ballack be the focus in the midfield. Scolari then went on to say, ""Drogba is part of my plans 100%. No, 200%." I really didn't think that was the case. I didn't figure Drogba to be wanted by Big Phil. Anyways, I still think Drogba may want to leave and I'm not sure how Peter Kenyon would go about things then.

On the Arshavin front, the Russian forward's agent Dennis Lachter made the headlines again today.  "It's going to be a very big transfer," Lachter added. "Zenit will definitely not accept an offer of less than 30million euros (£23.8m)." I personally don't see it being that expensive, I'm fairly sure Dick Advocaat and Zenit are resigned to losing their superstar. As it's looking more and more like England for him, it's becoming obvious that the reports of Chelsea and Arsenal are pretty spot on. I do believe his favoured choice would be the Emirates but I don't see us outbidding that cunt Abramovich if Big Phil says he wants him.

In other news it's reported that Villa will accept a bid of £15 million and Steve Finnan for Gareth Barry. If Alonso leaves and Barry comes in, I really think their midfield will be much worse. Alonso is the only one in the center of that midfield (Barry, Gerrard, Mascherano) who has great technical ability.

And Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe for Pompey next season should be pretty dynamic.

 Have a good day all, I'm off to have a couple drinks. I'm thinking some Jim Beam and Coke?

Nearly forgot to express my delight at Ajax signing the Serbian teenage striker Miralem Sulejmani from Heerenveen. I was very impressed with this kid last season as I watched a lot of Heerenveen. He should turn out to be a great striker and Ajax is the perfect place to develop. Another reasons it excites me, apart from being an Ajax supporter by heritage, is that probably means Huntelaar is leaving. I really wouldn't mind seeing Huntelaar at Arsenal and according to several sources we're one of the main clubs after him.

I'm expecting to see major news regarding Huntelaar by the end of the week.

Cheers everyone! Really enjoying OleOle so far!
