All sorts of rubbish

Florent Malouda has made his decision: he wishes to join Chelsea, rejecting Liverpool. So surprise surprise, another transfer without any Arsenal involvement at all.
Don’t get me wrong: Malouda is a fairly average player. But average is a whole let better than what we currently have in terms of wingers: nothing.
In The News of the World we’ve been linked with Carlos Tevez. A source close to Tevez said:
“Arsenal are serious contenders. If Tevez stays in England, it’s between them and United.“
Although we can only speculate as to who this source might be, current reports indicate it could be “a little birdie”, “the boogeyman”, or “a bucket of bullshit”. I guess we’ll never know.
Real Madrid have suggested they might be interested in keeping Jose Reyes. One suspects their interest is entirely dependent on the success or otherwise of their pursuit of Arjen Robben. A cash-flushed Athletico still seems a more likely destination.
David Dein’s PR people have been at it again, suggesting he’s so confident of returning to Arsenal that he’s turned down the opportunity to buy plenty of clubs. Don’t people realise? He’s in the business of selling clubs, not buying.
More tomorrow.
