Arsenal Asian Squad Announced

And Samir Nasri would be on a plane bound for the East tomorrow with another 22 strong men team. I wonder if this means he would be staying. I am happy if he stays but I am potentially worried about releasing him as a free agent in 12 months time. If Arsene could get him to sign by then, it's fine. But if he doesn't, we are gonna lose around 22 million as rumours has it that Manchester City are offering that much currently. Either way, I hope that if he stays, a contract would be sign before the end of this transfer period. Otherwise, Arsenal might as well cash in on him anyways and replace him beforehand.

Now Cesc won't be coming as he is still nursing his hamstring injury. What a bummer. Oh well. He is leaving anyway, I think.

Arsenal Back In Training

So the boys are back and training hard for the upcoming Asian tour, followed by some friendlies and then there is the Emirates Cup. Here's some pictures of them training. New kid, Carl Jenkinson took part too and it is believed that Cesc did too although I don't see him in the pictures. Anyway, look for Emmanuel Eboue and his clothing. Lol

Carl Jenkinson, new kid, number 25

Sexy eh? EEK!

Pretty much new too, Ryo Miyaichi



Some more news, Gervinho is in London doing a medical. So I think he will be a Gunner soon. Gael Clichy left and I bid him good luck and thanks for serving Arsenal for the past 8 years. He was also the last of Arsenal's invisible member to leave. Next, Cesc would be sold to the highest foreign bidder according to Arsenal and Nasri could go if City meet the demanded fee of 25 million Euros.

Nole Seals Wimbledon Success

I was disappointed yesterday by Maria Sharapova but today was a different story as Novak Djokovic lifts the Wimbledon trophy after defeating Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3. He totally tamed the Spaniard too. Well, except the third set. Lol. Anyway, with this win, it is more good news for the Serb as he also became the world number one after booking a place in the finals. What a week for him.


Now in an unrelated news (football), Cesc looks set to leave, Nasri handed in a transfer request apparently and Clichy is to undergo a medical at Man City today. So maybe Arsenal are set to lose all 3 of these players. This is causing a chain of reaction as tabloids are now reporting that van Persie and Walcott want out too now that the team looks bleak.

As for me, I think that the trio might go but RVP and Walcott should be staying. At the same time, I seriously hope that Arsene Wenger gets the replacements he BADLY NEEDS.

Wimbledon Update =(

So Maria did not capture her second Wimbledon title but she'll be back in US Open and there is so many more years ahead of her. So here's to hoping for the best. And to Petra Kvitova, boy you played such a good match and you truly deserve it.

My hope is still alive for tomorrow men's finals. =)

Wimbledon Update


As you can see above, Nole is being one happy person after defeating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 4 sets to book himself a spot in Sunday's final showdown in Wimbledon.

Now that both of my favourites are in the finals, I hope both of them would lift the champions trophy. =)
