Only just got from work and have been itching to post ever since I heard the news.
Had to deliver a kitchen today, which just happened to be at the home of one of the ssn presenters. Obviously got talking about football and I proudly mentioned to be a Gunners fan.
He said you must be looking forward to the summer and pre-season, given the potential signings. He didn't give out names for obvious reasons, but he seems to have insider knowledge on four signings. One is near enough complete ( just contractual stuff to sort out ), to which I mentioned Draxler. No response, apart from a smile.
Two others are from the same premier league club. Again, I had to fish for whom they may be. Your feeder club was all he said. La Lana and Shaw perhaps?
The last is from foreign climates and is a forward. Wouldn't give out any names or country though. He was kind enough to plant two £20 notes in my hand before me and my mate left though!
Pleased you had a good day Steve and the presenter was obviously a decent bloke to give you both a score plus some great rumours to remember him by.
You make sure when you spend that 20 you've got some back up cash just in case it turns out to be dud.
Not saying it will but just in case
Id love shaw to be played on the right if he can (some players can play either wing) and schneiderlin are the ones i'd take if shaw can't then either rodriguez or lallana
Until you said a forward from foreign climate I thought the two players from the same premier league club would have been Dzeko and Richards from City. hmm interesting. No clue who it might be then.
Forward from foreign climates I'm hope for either Balotelli, Mandzukic or Diego Costa.
How on earth would a tv presenter have any inside info to tell you and not ssn. It would be a massive headline for them and take up hours of pointless chat and would come up on the bottom of the screen as " ssn understand ". Get real mate, no one's got a clue what Arsenal are up to!
You never heard of confidentiality?
Yes, it would be easy for him to grab all the headlines and announce it on tv. then watch his relationship with his source go to pieces just to make himself look good. Is it worth it. not a chance, hence why he chose to say what he did.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter if the rumours are true or not, I was passing on to what I thought was a bit of gossip.
Hey Steve I enjoyed reading your rumour mate, if it comes off :-) if not you had a good day and £20
At first I did not believe that this would be true but after thinking about it, I realise the presenter could be Jim White or Brian Swanson who do have reliable sources so there could be some truth to this rumour.
Were Mot Interested In Lalana Were Interested In Morgan Schneiderlin
{Ed002's Note - You need to search the Liverpool pages for commentary on Suarez. Cavani's representatives are just fishing for interest in the player and trying to find out what options may exist if the issues he sees in Paris are unresolved. They spoke with a representative of one club, and that was not Arsenal. I would really read nothing in to it.}
