Signings Galore

Arsenal finally got our name on the score board for signings for the coming season. The player in question is a little known player called Eduardo Da Silva, born in Brazil and blossomed in Croatia.

Is he a good signing? Is he going to be another one of Wenger’s shrewd investment at 7.5 million pounds or another one of his flops like Richard Wright or Francis Jeffers? Nobody knows, but the name is definitely not familiar to anyone in the Arsenal club.

While we indulge in this little exciting news of a relatively unknown, Liverpool and Man U and even West Ham are pulling out all stops in their summer spending spree. Man U has targeted Tevez as the next possible signing after securing Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson at more than 30 million pounds. What is going on at Man U? Everyone was worried that when the new owners came, there will not be a cent to spend. Contrary to expectation, Old Fergie actually has more to splurge than ever before. Hence, why is Arsenal board not listening or following this same story and allow Kroenke to come on board? I really wonder.

On the other hand, over at Merseyside, Mr Benitez has secured a sensational coop with the capture of Fernando Torres. Being one of the most promising strikers in the world, Torres seems to be the last piece of the puzzle for Pool to mount a serious challenge to manure and chelski.

For us, we are left further behind if we do not rebuild with calculated signings to replace the loss of Henry. Easy to say, unlikely to be achieved in the next 2 years. However, all is not loss as long as Wenger stays with us and signs potential Henry, Pires, Adams and Seaman. For now, we just have to know the new names as Eduardo, Harvart and Bakary Sagna.
