Silva Deal Done...
Well, call it a hunch, call it what you like, but ArsenalShorts struck gold yesterday as Gilbert O'Silva's Irish cousin, Edward O'Silva jetted in from Dinamo Zagrab, to try and fill the boots of Jereme Aliadiere. There was some confusion about the cost of the player with prices of £6m and £16m being bandied about for the boy, but as always, the club did not disclose the amount. Dinamo president Mirko Barisic has said: "I think the transfer is worth 24million euros (£16.25million) from the money Arsenal got after selling Henry to Barcelona..."

O'Silva himself claimed that: "I am excited and happy in the same time, also very proud that I am going to play in such a big club. Every football player wants to play for Barcelona, Real (Madrid), Manchester United or Arsenal one day and so do I. I want to progress in my career, but it will be hard to leave Dinamo Zagreb after eight years. I will miss the club, the guys. I will be back one day, but now I want to accept a new challenge..." He also said something about his heart being at Chelsea, but we'll skip over that one for now...
