Well, it's a couple of days on from the talk on Paddy Vieira, and still no resolution. Fingers crossed that it gets resolved one way or another in the next day or so.
Elsewhere, all sorts of other happenings though. First, the Swiss (of all people, their being so crucial in the overall negotiations) have leaked that Senderos has (already) joined Everton. Somehow, if I were ever to find out news on moves of Arse players, the last people I'd want to hear from are their national football federations.
Second, as is typical of the English tabloid press, the next Dalai Lama has been found, in the name of Jack Wilshere. I mean, yes, the boy's excellent. We've always known that. It's just that Le Boss has had the good sense to use him only in small spurts last season. Now, with two out-of-this-world performances, everyone's going berzerk with his prospects. Oh puh-leeze. Methinks Le Boss will play him against Valencia, then possibly put him on the bench against Everton. Other than that, let's give it a break.
Before that though,for those who have yet to see it - enjoy the highlights of the Rangers game. Pretty nice on all fronts, Eduardo's finishing, Wilshere of course, and the likes of Merida, etc etc etc. Oh yeah, what I liked most of all from these highlights was the really cool Chinese commentary.
Third, there's the really queer news concerning one Salomon Kalou. £6 million? Where have heard that before - us getting hold of loser rejects from Chelski...Diarra? Hmmm. Perhaps. Have absolutely no clue what we'd do with a Kalou - other than use the prospect to get the likes of Bordeaux to stick their fingers out of their $#!% over Marouane Chamakh. Now that Le Boss has categorically said no to that, let's hope that also ends the nonsense over Kalou.
Finally, a word about Le Boss moving to a 4-3-3. Errr...okay then. Fine and dandy. But that really just makes it all the more apparent that we've got problems with our four at the back (especially the centre two), and the holding midfielder in the second three. Song? Methinks no. The attacking three are of course an embarassment of riches. But I'm getting palpitations just thinking of Song being our backbone.
Next stop is the draw for the Champions League on Friday. Before that, let's hope we see something interesting.

I'm hoping Rosicky turns out to be Pires-esque this season.
Just my sway mouth, now Rosicky is injured.
Read Mourinho's comments that Wenger has not approached Inter for Vieira. I'm not dying to get Vieira, but seriously what the heck is Wenger doing? We've got two weeks to the season left and he seems to be focussed on getting another forward? Hullo!
I'm trying not to get worked up even before the season starts.
