TTR#1: Alvaro Recoba + Many Apologies
158 comments August 27th, 2007
And so, the final week of the transfer window is upon us. Every Arsenal fan will deal with the week in their own, unique way. Arseblogger, for example, took Saturday’s “I am not in the market for any new players” quote with the following good grace:
“If Arsene has decided that there are to be no new arrivals then that’s the end of that. There’s no point us bleating and gnashing our teeth. I think he’s taking a gamble and if we do go on a bad run you know that this is a stick that people will beat him with. I’m sure he knows that too. Let’s just accept it and move on.”
Frankly, that kind of sensible thinking just isn’t my style. So all this week, I’ll be bringing you the Tenuous Transfer Rumour series (TTR), starting today with reports today in the Italian press saying that we have a “lukewarm interest” in Uruguyuan underachiever, Alvaro Recoba. It seems incredibly unlikely: his wages are famously gross, and his levels of inconsistency even higher. But anyhow, there you have it.
Also today, I have to offer my sincere apologies for completely failing to announce the winners of the HLEB! competition. I also recieved a tonne of answers saying Barnet FC, aswell as those giving the answer I had originally intended: the team against which he scored his first competetive goal, Middlesbrough. To be fair I’ve entered both answers into the final draw, and the two winners are Damien Waugh and Sierra Williams. Congratulations, I’ll be in touch to sort out your prizes.
If you’re in England, like me, I hope you’re enjoying a lazy bank holiday. Tata for now.
