The Re-Hash

I’m sure that the Goonerblog readers will agree with me that there is nothing more annoying than the same story being re-hashed day after day untill there is actually some real news to report. It’ll also come as no big surprise that the story I am talking about is the rumoured interest in Gareth Barry, so if you would like the angle to be this:

“Arsene Wenger must decide whether to step up his interest in Aston Villa’s unsettled England international Gareth Barry following the departure of long-serving midfielder Gilberto Silva.

With the combative Mathieu Flamini having also left on a free transfer to AC Milan at the end of last season, Wenger is facing up to the task of rebuilding the heartbeat of a team which set the early pace in the Barclays Premier League last season before eventually fading out of the title race.”

Then go here.

If you prefer more of an outlandish predition side of things -

“That’s my prediction, Gareth Barry will sign today, I had inside information from a Grover last night that Barry’s agent was at the training ground yesterday and that can only mean one thing, he will sign.

Wenger will offer £12 million plus Justin Hoyte and O’Neill will bite his hand off, everyone wins, we get experience, class and the next England captain, Villa save face and get a replacement right back, and there aren’t that many on the market, so it’s win, win.“

Then fill your boots here.

The only other pick from the morning news is that Barcelona have been priced out of the race to sign Adebayor and are focusing their attentions on Berbatov.

“Barca are now poised to offer £24million after losing patience with Arsenal over Emmanuel Adebayor who has been valued at £35m for the Togo striker .”

Now I for one have no interest in seeing that lanky “I play for the love of football, but must think about my retirement when I’m on £40,000 a week and in my mid-twenties” c*nt ever put an Arsenal shirt on again. Too much has been said, the Arsenal fans want players who love the game, who love the sport and most of all, who love Arsenal. His demands for money contradict everything he has been preaching and if he does stay at the Grove he should expect a very frosty reception. If I was Wenger I would drop the unrealistic price of £35m which has been reported and accept anything over £25m and think about what he’s going to do with the money before the start of the new season.

This very hungover Goonerblogger is now going to have a cooked breakfast and try to think of a way to re-hash everything i’ve said again for tomorrow.

Goodday all.
