Gallas
« Previous EntriesNext Entries »Gallas does the dirty and Ajax’s ‘keeper could be headed our way.
Oh, the treachery. To be honest, William Gallas doesn’t owe us anything in the form of loyalty and I for one never expected any from him. He left Chelsea for Arsenal under acrimonious circumstances and I’m sure he’ll pitch up at the Spuds without a second thought for the Gooners. Should we care? Well, I [...]

There is a new name in the frame in todays Arsenal transfer rumours and it is a very strange one! Yanga-M’Biwa would look good on the back of anyones shirt, but it seems like his name has come up because Gilles Grimandi (The Arsenal chief scout in France) was seen at a Montpellier game last [...]

Anelka banned, Gallas disciplined, France disentegrating!
What on Earth is going on with the France national team. We know that they were dismal at the Euro2008 competition under Raymond Domenech, but what we don’t know is who he blackmailed to get his contract renewed afterwards!

Most of todays Arsenal transfer news seems to be pretty speculative, as they are taking Arsene Wenger’s quotes on players appearing at the World Cup and turning them into transfer rumours.

Everybody knows that the out-of-contract Phillipe Senderos has signed for Fulham by now, so I don’t need to give you details on that one, but there is lots of other Arsenal transfer news around.

Arsenal transfer rumours May 7th – Cahill, Diakhate, Hangeland and Gallas
