Friday Roundup

Not a whole lot of Gunners news today.

Let’s start with the news that Stan the man has increased his stake in the Arsenal. Stan has bought a further 1,600 shares for a princely sum of £8,500 each, his holding now stand at 28.58%. This leaves him less than 1 ½ % away from being forced into making a takeover bid for the club. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1198862/Stans-man-Arsenal--Kroenke-increases-Emirates-shareholding.html?ITO=1490

Real Madrid have stated that they have no interest in signing Fabregas. Well that’s nice of them; we have no interest in selling him. http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/article.html?Real%3a_We_wont_steal_Fabregas_from_Arsenal&in_article_id=701154&in_page_id=43

Our Russian flyer has denied wanting to move to Barcelona. Hopefully Andrey can continue the fine form he’s displayed since signing for us. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/09/07/10/manual_124943.html&TEAMHD=soccer

What a mouth water prospect our midfield could be next year with Fab, Nasri, Andrey, Theo, a fit Rosicky, all supplemented by a new holding midfielder. Sounds pretty damn good to me.

I hope to post again tomorrow but I’m off to see Oasis at Wembley. It’s my first visit since the FA Cup semi final against Chelsea; hopefully it will be a bit more satisfying.
