Next week: Nasri in, Hleb out
Add comment May 24th, 2008
With the breaking news that Hleb’s agent has secured him a move away from Arsenal, it has become very clear that Samir Nasri is viewed as the Belarussian’s replacement. Those quotes from the agent include the sickening suggestion that Hleb might find it unable to perform as well for Arsenal were he denied a move. I can’t be the only fan who’ll be glad to see the back of the gutless bottler.
Hopefully we recoup enough money for Hleb to make sure that we still have plenty of cash left after bringing in Nasri. As Gilberto (who looks increasingly like staying) intimates, we need more signings to recover from the undoubted blow of losing half our first-choice midfield.
Next week could be very interesting indeed…
