So after a long week of Melo will sign and Melo won't it appears now conclusively that Juve have
struck a deal and Arsenal can't financially and won't match it. So this leaves the door open for
the question who will we attempt to sign now, after our main target has moved.. I shall
discuss:
Blaise Matuidi
This transfers seems to be done on the evidence of things; he is apparently in England,
according to Sky Sports news and his current club St Etienne have signed Fernande's from Man City
(Central Defensive Midfielder) and appear to be looking for another defensive minded player, from
Greece somewhere.
Good morning to everyone reading this post (or should I say good day if you are reading it after
12:00). There have been many rumours and gossip flying around today though a few appear to be
substantial, which is quite good. I will digress:
Blaise Matuidi
Many of the morning's papers and various other media have been reporting that Blaise Matuidi is
to sign for Arsenal for a fee ranging from £2.
The news coming out of Fiorentina today is that Arsenal have until Friday to finalise a deal if
they wish to sign Felipe Melo from them. Juventus talks have collapsed after Marco Marchionni's
refused to sign for Fiorentina on the deal they offered him. To add to this Fiorentina's supporters
staged a protest that one of their best players was being sold to a bitter rival, consequently
with this in mind Fiorentina want to sell to Arsenal and have set a Friday deadline date.
Yesterday Arsenal-highlights.co.uk broke the news that Adebayor is a target for Mark Hughes men;
Man City, even though he has already signed many forwards already this summer, with Carlos Tevez
expected to join today.
Man City fly out on Thursday to South Africa to start their pre-season tour and it is thought
Mark Hughes wants Adeabyor signed up and with them.
