OK people. Didn't want to open a whole thread about this but didn't know how else to communicate the news. VERY reputable sources throughout twitter are adamant that the inevitable has happened. After re-kindling the fragile hope within the breast of Arsenal fan that our talisman might stay, SAF goes and fucks it all up with one final crushing blow. That's right... the Arsenal Captain seems to be leaving to United. LET ME REPEAT, the mother fucking Arsenal Captain is about to be sold to mother fucking UNTIED!!!!!! WTF world is this? Is this bizzaro land? What's next? Is nothing sacred anymore? aghhhhhhhhhhh. Sorry. I literally just banged my keyboard so hard I cracked it.
Hey, but it's all good because at least it looks like we're getting Sahin. He's someone we could really use and he's basically told everyone close to him (including his agent) that if he is going to leave he only wants to go to the Arsenal. The major hold-up was mainly that Madrid was waiting to finalize the Modric deal. So it's all set and good. OH WAITl.... NOW, IT'S NOT! Apparently, that C&#T Mourinho doesn't want him to go to Arsenal. It might be because he's afraid we're more likely to keep him but it is just as likely that it's because he hates Wenger. He's been trying to push him to go to Anfield and Alonso has been whispering sweet nothing in his ear about them. Now, Ian Ayre is apparently taking a chopper over there to try and snatch him from under our noses. We can Only hope that the player puts his foot down and forces the move to London.
Lastly, in the spirit of sharing some of the misery with our beloved neighbors, it looks like the Modric deal is just about sealed. Rumours are he's set to arrive in Madrid on Thursday. This is backed up by the fact that they're finally willing to let Sahin go. MERRY FUCKING TRANSFER WINDOW EVERYONE! Rant over.
