Good morning to everyone reading this post (or should I say good day if you are reading it after 12:00). There have been many rumours and gossip flying around today though a few appear to be substantial, which is quite good. I will digress:

Blaise Matuidi

Many of the morning’s papers and various other media have been reporting that Blaise Matuidi is to sign for Arsenal for a fee ranging from £2.5 – £4 million. He is 22 years of age and plays defensive midfield. After reports on “Sky Sports News” about Matuidi being in England, London it looks pretty sure we should get this one. Wenger clearly sees him the man for the future becasue at only 22 he is not the expierienced player we need. I am still uncertain though to why we would buy this player if we are attempting to bring in Felipe Melo and already have a promising CDM in Alex Song.

Name: Blaise Matuidi

Age: 22 years

Postion: Central Defensive Midfielder

Current Club: St.Etienne

Price: £3 million

Transfer possibility: 8/10

Felipe Melo

New reports are varied on this story, although last night Sky Sports reported that the deal had somewhat broke down between Juventus and Fiorentina due to Marco Marchionni’s (the player Juve are willing to trade with cash) wage demands which Fiorentina won’t pay. This would still leave the door open very slightly for Arsenal still having a chance to sign Melo.

Name: Felipe Melo

Age: 26

Postion: Central Defenisve midfielder

Current Club: Fiorentina

Price: £21.4 million buy out clause/£15 million with Eboue/£8 million with Eboue and Senderos

Transfer Possibility: 6/10

Messi wants Fabregas at Barca

Lionel Messi has announced that he wants Barcelona to sign Cesc Fabregas and Mascherano (Liverpool). I think he can Get Lost! Well take Liverpool’s man but not ares.
