Fair Weather Blogging…
Posted by Sonuvagun
Blogging in the off season is a bit like training for a friendly in the freezing rain. You know you should do it but it seems like all pain and no gain. Despite Arsene Wenger’s statement that he would like to make two or three transfers before the World Cup begins, there’s been precious little in terms of actual news to tempt the fingers to start typing. A player we’ve known was going to arrive since Christmas has finally arrived and Barcelona are trying to prize Fabregas off us for the umpteenth season in a row, in the most predictable transfer link in history. Hardly news. Other than that we’ve had a bid turned down for an unknown French/Polish player and we may be buying an ageing goalkeeper off Fulham.
Perhaps the only exciting transfer prospect right now is the strong links being made between Arsenal and Joe Cole. Arsenal fans seem slightly suspicious of Cole on the whole, and I have my doubts how a stereotypical English ‘chav’ (as he is fairly or unfairly dubbed) will fit in with Wenger’s cosmopolitan outfit, but football isn’t about making bosom buddies at this level and I think he will be a good acquisition – if indeed we do get him.
Other than that and it’s decidedly easier to get excited about the World Cup than think of Arsenal-related matters. Sadly for us Englishmen (a we three bloggers all are) there are no Arsenal players in our squad; but my club-level animosities are slowly subsiding as the build up to the tournament begins for what will undoubtedly be another great competition (regardless of England’s performances). There’s going to be some great players on show and who knows, between Van Persie, Bendtner and Vela I think we’ll see a few fantastic goals by Arsenal players… (not to mention Fabregas who we can only hope stays despite Barcelona’s now semi-respectable bid of 60 million).
Anyway when something actually happens we’ll put pen to paper, but right now I’m feeling quite content to make very little ado about the nothing going on. I guess I’m what they call a fair weather blogger…
