Gallas Opens Mouth, Forgets To Engage Brain & Other Transfer Fun

Gallas bemuses himself with latest drivel to escape his mouth

Ah, William Gallas. You never were the brightest crayon in the pack were you? Despite you single-handedly costing us the title with your sit-in-the-centre-circle antics against Birmingham, I was glad we had you. In a way it showed a desire to win that I wish was shared amongst some of the more apathetic Gooners. But it was misplaced. Just as your words were after completing your actually not that controversial move to Shite Hart Lane. You see Bill, Spurs aren’t good enough to win the league. If you wanted a title, you should have stayed here. And we’d have been glad if you stayed. But you didn’t think of us did you, when you opened your trap, because you never loved this club. Never wrote your name into it’s history – never got what we were trying to achieve. So long.

In other transfer news, there’s no smiling faces posing with Arsenal scarves yet – but I’m sure there will be soon. Heading the queue to grace the new marble halls is Sebastien Squillaci. There talk amongst the Gooner blogs is that he’s the new Steve Bould. High praise indeed – if he’s fit to shine Bouldy’s head I’d be happy. The keeper saga is still rolling on, and I think it is probably the ‘plus one’ Wenger was describing post-Blackpool. I think the done deal is Squillaci, and that’s fine. We do need a keeper though, and I’m sure Wenger knows it and is working hard to secure a signing.

If those two deals come off, I think you can look back at our summer as being OK transfer wise. Chamakh looks the real deal, and Koscielny was decent against Liverpool without being spectacular. Probably what you want from a centre back. And we will challenge for the title. We saw this weekend just how frail The Shit are, Spuds can’t score for toffee, Citeh are still getting to know each other’s names and Liverpool looked pants against them. Our big challenge will be free-scoring Chelsea, when we meet it could be a goal-fest. If we get those two signings in, we stand a much better chance of keeping the score low, and thus increasing our chances.
