The Daily Mirror website has published an item which really typifies the kind of "news" posing as news we get used to during Silly Season. In a piece not attributed to any journalist, only the staff credit "Football Spy", Arsenal are being linked with the following:
- Scott Parker, this week named as the only West Ham player not for sale,
- Joe Hart, an England goalkeeper on the astronomical wages of Man City,
- James Milner, valued at umpteen million pounds by Aston Villa.
The story regurgigates the rumours of Cahill, Hangeland and Chamakh as well, perhaps to lend it some touch with a tabloid reality.
But there are no sources to these rumours, no approximate transfer fees are mentioned and signing established stars like that is very unlike Arsenal's transfer policy.
And Wenger's quote at the end... where does that come from?
"We have plenty of young players, now we need ready-made players.” Can anyone help me with a source for that comment? When on Earth did Wenger use those words?!
Don't believe the hype, people.
