Rosicky is Happy and Vieira is Positive

Rosicky shows his positive side. Skysports have highlighted Thomas’ ideas that Arsenal are just fine. Thomas believes having a similar squad to last season is a good thing. If we’d signed 10 players we’d all be saying we’ll have to wait and see how they settle in. As The Beast proved last season, you can be a good International, you can play for Real Madrid, but you might not be able to hack The Premiership.

Hertfordshire side Bishop’s Stortford also announced they will be playing an Arsenal XI on Friday 27th July at 7.45pm at Woodside Park. The Daily Mail says that Eduardo will play in Arsenal’s first pre-season game, again in Hertfordshire, against Barnet on Saturday.

Gilberto again gave a solid performance for Brazil as they reached the Copa America final. He picked up his second booking of the competition now and will miss the Final. It’s a shame for our Captain but hopefully he may return a few days sooner for us now.

Paddy Vieira is back on the scene talking about Arsenal. This time he was speaking to Feel Football. Talking about Henry’s move to Barca he thinks that we will get over it, as we did when Wrighty left and we got Tel, and when Paddy left and Cesc upped his game.

Still no official word on the Bakari Sagna signing but it is Football’s worst kept secret. The next worst kept secret that LEGEND Freddie Ljungberg is in talks with Fiorentina. It also seems that we may now loose Hoyte our one regular English player. Reading are chasing the young-gun now Arsenal seem to have signed another right back. It makes no sense to sell Hoyte when Eboue is going to the African Nations. I hope this is just speculation and can’t see it happening. The Daily Express are still linking Oba Martins with a move to Arsenal from Geordie-Land but isn’t the £13Mil a bit of a flattering valuation. The massive positive is that Martins scored 17 goals in 46 appearances for the Geordies. We sure could have done with those 17  goals last term.
