Thuram to Arsenal for £5.5m?

[BayouGooner]

Summer transfer speculation. *sigh* Dude's class, but 32 years old. Always will remember him favorably for singlehandedly putting France into the final in 1998.

Also a rising young French striker wants to come to Arsenal. What else is new.

"Arsenal would be my dream club, if I was certain to be a regular first-team member."

Sure

Thuram, as you suggest, is a class act, but too old.

As for the Pedretti bloke, who does he think he is? "...If I was certain to be a first-team regular", yeah right mate.

Wow, the 2nd article's been edited. It was about a young French striker named Frau that had just been called into the France squad, and SkySports have now changed it to the young midfielder Pedretti. The articles are exactly the same but the names and picture were changed.

Here's a link to an identical article from ITV with Frau's name instead of Pedretti's. Weird.

On a futher note, apparantly Arsenal are tracking a young goalkeeper that plays for Rosenborg in Norway:

And now time for some humor--Inter want our captain PV4. I'm scared.

Yeah, they did the same thing with the Rosenborg GK article, substituting ManU for Arsenal, but otherwise exactly the same.

Sure

Euro 2004 Group B might as well just be Arsenal, Croatia, England, Switzerland, eh? What does he think this is, France U-21?

that kid is a helluva player tho... sure he may not be in the first team straight away, but I rate him.. only seen him play a handful of matches however....

Which kid--the midfielder Pedretti (who is rumored to be heading to PSG) or the striker Frau who I absolutely know nothing about. And please share your impressions regarding the player of whom you were speaking.

Pedretti... never seen Frau.. thing about Pedretti is, we dont need him with the young midfielders we have already.. just dunno where he fits in the lineup... and for the record, i'm totally on board with recalling Pennant and giving him a look in the side next season...
