Wenger looks to Santa, Beattie’s in a huff…
Oi Claus, any room for Drogba in that bag?
Even with the insane striker shortage leaving his attack almost as hamstrung as a boxer with cotton wool fists, Arsene Wenger – as reported in today’s Telegraph – shall not be tempted to loan the services of Ruud van Nistelrooy in January. Oh no.
In fact, his quest for a decent frontman has taken a rather intriguing turn, which might yet find the Arsenal boss sitting at his bedside table feverishly scribbling a letter to a very fat old man with a beard.
“Let’s not dream too much in January that we can find a world-class player – that is what is needed to strengthen our team – who is not cup-tied in the Champions League and who is free. You need a good Father Christmas for that!”
Great idea!
Less talk, more penmanship, Wenger.
Elsewhere in the world, The Guardian reports that James Beattie didn’t turn up for training at Stoke today, following his well-documented bust up with Tony Pulis.
The striker, apparently, was feeling sore because the team’s plans to sleep off some rampant Crimbo drinks were scuppered. So Tony Pulis punched him in the face… or something… allegedly.
And over in beautiful sunny Spain, Ronaldo said this:
“I have my flaws too.”
