Eduardo signs for the Arsenal

Hola from a very Sunny Spain. So we have signed Thierry’s replacement. When my mate came round to tell me last night who we’d signed. I said, Anelka?, Torres?, Martin?, Who?. When he said Eduardo da Silva I had to admit it did not ring any bells. But when you read the facts, Brazilian born Croatian, 24, £8Mil, a goal at the Emirates for Zagreb against Arsenal, a goal on International debut v England, and 34 goals in the Croatian League this season, it all looks promising to me. Eduardo could be the perfect replacement for Tel. He certainly has massive potential. Wenger looks like he may have un-earthier another gem.

Gilberto is edging towards glory in the Copa America. I don’t think that’s a great thing as the further they go the later his pre-season will start but Brazil are gaining momentum in the tournament. Brazil need a win against Ecuador on Wednesday to reach the quarter finals.

Great news from the Cesc camp, his agent has told the BBC that he is going nowhere. He says, “Cesc is happy for Thierry as they are friends. But he can’t wait to start the season, he is a key man for Arsenal.” At last positive comments from an agent.

On the gossip front plenty of papers say Arsene is still keen to bring Anelka back to Arsenal. We are also linked with Ognjen Vukojevic another player from Dinamo Zagreb. Ognjen is a strong defensive midfield player and is likely to cost around £5Mil. I will leave you with that until my return to England on Thursday night.
