Abou’s Left Leg

Arsenal FC fan since I can remember (25+ years). The poetry of football vs. the downward spiral of pub punditry. #InAbouWeTrust

If you think we were prudent in declining Rogers but were ok to pursue Vini yet think Barcola is overpriced but are underwhelmed by Ndjaye yet don’t want anything to do with Rashford but think Antonio Nusa isn’t the one yet are sure we MUST move on from Martinelli then, well, shrug emoji.

My conspiracy take: Fabrizio Romano is on the Real Madrid payroll on this Vini saga. The guy has been proven to be totally buyable in the past and can imagine a world in which he would bend to Perez to keep a good relationship with a club of that stature. ‘Don’t make this harder, Fabrizio’

Imagine being Wenger. You lose the title in France (at Monaco) because Marseille cheated. You lose titles to Chelsea because they cheated. And now, all that happens to make it right is a fine worth less than buying a mediocre championship player. He must be losing his merde.

“Changes have been made to WADA Technical Document which, while not retroactive, mean that if Mr Mudryk’s sample was collected today, the concentration of meldonium in the sample would not have been reported” the FA statement read. Isn’t that the literal DEFINITION of ‘retroactive’???

The FA and Chelsea confirmed the news in statements on Friday.

OK. Couple things: - Ignore the ‘Madrid set 160mil€ price for Vini’. The guy has 1 year left on his contract and Real are terrified of him going for free. - Mbappé and Vini are both best on LHS and that has always been a problem. - Vini surely won’t play for Mourinho after Benfica racism event.

So, Vini Jr is supposed to play for the manager that defended the guy who racially attacked him? Is there any way a cheeky Arsenal bid to Real Madrid could be in the works? I know his wages could be an issue but I miss the mercurial talent we used to last have with Sanchez. Was so much fun to watch.
