Arsenal’s best kept secret Campbell signs, but don’t be upset, we signed a 17 year old wonderboy as well, phew!

So, Sol Campbell turned out for the rub-a-dubs last night against, fittingly, West Ham, the team against which he played his worst ever game for us, and no he didn’t walk off, he finished the game!

I have to say I am delighted, I think he’s just what we need at the back, I really do, why did it take so long though? Why could we not have announced it on Jan 1? And before anyone says we haven’t signed him, if we hadn’t, he couldn’t have played last night.

Chamakh has agreed a £25mil deal with Liverpool, you know, the team that has no money, and to think, we could have had him for £7mil, we wanted him make no mistake, if we didn’t, we wouldn’t have bid in the first place, another one bites the dust, but never fear, we have signed Samuel Galindo, the 17-year-old ‘wonder boy’ from somewhere in Bolivia, yes another young midfielder, just what we needed, and we beat Everton to his signature too, ha, ha, that’ll teach them not to offer him £25k a week.

That should solve the problem we have up front then, how? You’ll have to ask Arsene that, because I have no idea. Merida is still around as is Senderos so we thankfully still have the third highest wage bill in the EPL.

So we have Bolton twice, Stoke, Villa and Chelsea away, Man U and Liverpool at home, then after that it gets easier, oh and we get Song and Eboue back by then so we should cruise it.

Nikki B is back in training and should be ready for the Villa away game just in time to pick up his slight thigh strain, so why were we asking for another forward? Beats me, still Arsenal know what they are doing.

I watched Nigeria versus Egypt yesterday and thought that Zidan was impressive for Egypt, they blew Nigeria away and with Mikel in their side, I at least had something to smile about, again the Puma kits impressed me, they must have done a job lot at the Cup, because apart from Nigeria who were Adidas, most of what I’ve seen is theirs.

I’m trying to work out when we’ll see this Arsenal dominating the league for years to come, I hope it’s in my lifetime but the clock is ticking.

I read that the Flamster may sign for the spuds, that would upset me no end, I would love to have that kind of fighter back at the club, I know some will say he was a one season wonder, but I loved that one season he had, I remember his goal at Villa Park, we could do with some of that right now.

Also I was on his case more than I am on Song and Denilson’s so I do admit if I was wrong about a player, I still think he could be our Romford Pelé given the chance.

Maybe all this is a smokescreen, maybe Campbell was the keystone we need and they’ll be a couple of top players sneaking in through the back door, I hope so, because right now I know we aren’t after Cahill or Hangeland, we aren’t after Matuidi or Flamini and with Theo and Bendtner coming back, it doesn’t look like we are getting that Dzeko type signing, still, we are financially stable and Liverpool clearly aren’t, if they were they would sign Chamakh wouldn’t they, …oh wait, they just did! Oops.

Have a great day today Grovers, at least we beat West Ham last night! Thomas scored a hatrick, why not try him out at Bolton? When was the last time an Arsenal player scored a hatrick? I hope we keep him, I think he’ll be a great player one day.
