uhhh... no. playing football would be playing in matches, perhaps even merely taking part in some training exercises. kicking a football is just that. kicking it. another step in rebuilding the strength in the leg. that's where Eduardo would be at i'd imagine in the next few weeks, still a long way off even training with the first team yet.

Given that he's been kicking a ball for the last while (remember that video a couple of weeks ago showing his rehabilitation?) and been jogging for a bit too, I'd say he could be back in first-team training by August... I agree he'll probably be nowhere near the bench for a while though.

None of us are experts, though, and speculation won't change when he's actually ready to participate fully again so ultimately we're just gonna have to wait and see...

Rumour is that it's a done deal but Marseille don't want to announce it yet for some reason.

"Arsene Wenger is a cunning fox. In the morning he says Arshavin will play all the time at his club and during the day he says he doubts the capabilities of Andrei to play three games in a row at the highest level.

"But this is a tactic to fool the competition. He calls Andrei a Tsar and then tries to deny interest in the player."

Zenit coach Dick Advocat confirmed last month that the Russian international has made known his desire to leave the club. Aside from Arsenal's interest, which Lakhter described as "the most active", Barcelona and Chelsea have made approaches.

Apparently Bischoff is an attacking midfielder, not a defensive midfielder.

Alberto Mendez Rodrigues mk II?

I saw that link too, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get him anyway or too disappointed!

Galvasean · 03-07-2008 10:28AM

Great I come home from holiday and still no concrete Nasri news.

New kit out today.. What name/number to get... Might take a gamble with Vela #12.

Website has some more of our greatest players countdown:
14 - Dave O' Leary
13 - Kanu
12 - Marc Overmars
Can't agree with Kanu being better than Dave TBH.

So here is the latest crop of youth players to be given pro contracts:

My only experience with them is from Football Manager. Lansbury and Murphy generally become good.

All the more amusing because you picked Gallas' number

Mr Alan · 03-07-2008 12:34PM

I was gonna go looking for a vacant number, but that would have required too much effort

Well we're top of the table so far... I really hope Aldershot never make it to the Premier League, it'd ruin July forever

Pepe LeFrits · 03-07-2008 02:35PM

Looks ace

Galvasean · 03-07-2008 03:28PM

Away kit is August 1st. Same day as the soccer beers..

Got my home shirt today. Be warned, medium is the EXACT same size as last years large. Now either I got an anomaly or people are just getting fat.

edit: Meant to say Tesco Clare Hall had the home kit and that weird white one with the tiny horizontal red stripes. Looked kinda naf. Might be a coaching jersey. No goalie kit either.

Frisbee · 03-07-2008 03:47PM

Going to get my jersey now in a few.

The back will Read:

VELA
12
Goal Machine
(I hope...)

Galvasean · 03-07-2008 03:57PM

Seems O'Leary might have got some of his popularity back amongst the fans.

AnCapaillMor · 03-07-2008 07:46PM

If Cashley C*** can get in the list, o'leary most definately can.

Frisbee · 03-07-2008 08:43PM

Got my jersey there earlier.
You really weren't messing Galvasean, the Medium was pretty fcuking big!
Vela on the back so he better rule, they didnt even know who he was when I asked.

Me: "Can I get Vela on the back?"
Employee: "Fab-re-gas?"
Me: "No Vela!"
Employee: "Fab-re-gas?"

AnCapaillMor · 03-07-2008 09:20PM

I'm more surprised they did'nt say 'H-E-N-R-Y'.

Frisbee · 03-07-2008 09:32PM

Maybe they jsut had no " H's " left....

OPENROAD · 03-07-2008 09:39PM

Has to be very tempting if we get it...
