Arsenal will never sign Yaya Toure

If I owned a house, I would stake it on the above fact.
While I’m here, I might aswell break it to you that we will also never sign Stephen Appiah.
Today the News of the World runs its billionth “Yaya Toure to join his brother at Arsenal” story, and one that even by their standards is spectacularly devoid of any kind of fact.
If Arsene rated Yaya, he would’ve bought him when he cost little more than a few hundred thousand pounds. I myself saw the younger Toure head in a goal at Underhill in an Arsenal shirt a few pre-seasons ago. Arsene won’t now go back and pay big money for a player he neglected to sign for next-to-nothing – just as he would never have contemplated competing with Spurs for Wilson Palacios.
It is a story I am a fool to have wasted breath over.
Not much, though. Till tomorrow.
