The Robbery of Ribery
702 comments June 5th, 2007
Thing is, I’ve already used Daylight Ribery.
For the best part of a year now, I’ve been fairly certain that preliminary meetings between Arsene and Marseille officials would lead to the scar-faced winger’s arrival at the Emirates Stadium. However, it looks like the deal has soared out of our price range, with Bayern Munich set to agree a £17m deal for the Frenchman.
Ribery has his detractors, and it’s certainly a lot of money, but it does seem to me that he really fits the bill in terms of what we need to add to the squad this summer. He’s a far more proven talent than both Anderson and Nani, who both recently fetched similar fees. Presumably Arsene has spent the best part of a year watching Franck, and has now decided that either a) he’s not up to it or b) we can’t afford him.
Whatever the case, it makes the question of just who we could possibly bring yet harder to answer.
Any ideas?
