Samir Can Leave...
The latest half-quote/hint that has sparked some rumour is from ex-long haired Sunderland star, and Marseille Coach Eric Gerets, who says both Djibril Cisse and Arsenal target Samir Nasri could leave the French club: "If there's a big offer for Samir, he is going to leave, if there is an offer from an English club for Cisse which he is happy with, he will do the same. I don't want to criticise the club because it is the same everywhere. When there is a big offer that comes in, players leave..."

Santa Cruises In...
In other rubbish transfer news, Blackburn’s Roque Santa Cruz is a potential target for Sir Wenger. Wenger is said to be unhappy at a pay rise request from Emmanuel Adebayor following a reported bid from Barcelona, though this probably isn't true and in fact; a load of old bollocks... Please God, make it stop.

No Sagna Selection...
Despite being voted the best right back in the league, Bacardi Sagna has been left out of Raymond Dominatrix's French squad for Euro 2008. Sagna said: “I had prepared for this eventuality due to my injury. These are the vagaries of football. I am injured at the wrong time..." Abu Diaby and Gael Clichy were also both overlooked, in what could be a blessing in disguise for us as Sir Wenger aims to get his squad fit for August...

Lewn and Akers Replacements Eyed...
In other news Arsenal are moving swiftly to replace the imminently departing Vic Akers and Gary Lewin with beef throb Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey, and ITV's Bob Holness. It's thought that the club are keen to bring some glamour to jazz up our injury problems, and chisel cut McConaughey fits the bill...

Kit man Akers will be replaced by Holness who is well and truly experiences in dealing with letters such as P, C, and A, as well as all the others. Holness will be on a 3 month probation, as his numbers aren't up to scratch, but its also thought Johnny Ball is waiting in the wings to help out the student gameshow veteran...

Here's how it could work in the kit room (if we have a kit room):
Phil Senderos needs his shirt printed: "I'll have a P please Bob..." says the lumbering Swiss oaf.
Holness: "There we go big fella, all done, move down the line to sort out the rest..."
Johnny Ball: "Think of a number..."

I liked that.

Vela Back...
Carols Vela will return to Arsenal after ahem... successfully keeping Osasuna in the Spanish La Liga Premiership Top Flight thing. Osasuna finished one point above the relegation places but Vela gleaned a lot of first team experience into the bargain. Bargain.
