A few things…
No links this time, just a coupla semi-goodies, a bit of good news and a Danish-American horn toot. It's just about that time again, so let's unpack those ol' thumbs up and down for summer...
#1 - Let's start with a couple of transfer report reviews:
I can confirm that the Austrian report of Rapid Vienna being...
Arsenal is selling but who is buying?
We shall resume the 2011-2012 Top Ten countdown after a word from our sponsor: Arsenal’s Transfer Madness! Getting rid of those annoying Spanish goalies who seem to hang around your silverware is harder than you think. (insert woman making exasperated face) But new improved Magic Spray has been reformulated with hangers-on-off! Just spritz on some...
In defense of Lahoud for Califf
It's a solid move. More obviously so for Chivas USA than the Union, but I'm not joking.
Danny Califf is undoubtedly more decorated and established than Mike Lahoud. He's a proven leader and a native SoCal-ite that will certainly add composure to a bac...
Juan Agudelo busts up the block *UPDATED*
This is what playing time looks like
Juan Agudelo is going to LA. Heath Pierce is going to NY. Big gulps, eh?
This, to me, shot not out of left field but out of outer space. For those of us monitoring Danny Califf's situation in Philly, ready to po...
The cupboard is bare
I guess it’s kind of good that there’s no transfer news this morning. Because then we all have nothing to moan about! Wait, except the lack of transfer news. Catch 22. HA HA! LOL! Meh. Really, I have to figure out what I’m going to do this summer with all the players that Arsenal are...
To Bouldy go where no Yann has gone before
I’ve heard just about every rumor imaginable about Arsenal over the last few years. Everything from speculation that the reason Arsene didn’t spend any money was because he wanted to leave a “war chest” for his successor to speculation that Arsene Wenger didn’t spend any money because Stan Kroenke was using the cash to buy...
A coupla things…
I am being mercilessly hammered by illness brought on by food poisoning right now, but I heard a couple things today you all would probably be quite interested by. So I've belly-crawled to the desk like a little trooper just to share:
Charlie Davies ...
17 players on the bubble at Arsenal?
We all know that Arsenal doesn’t do “clear outs” right? But the fact is that Arsenal have 17 players who could legitimately be considered “on the bubble” in terms of their contract situations, playing time, and where they are in Arsene’s favor. These are those 17 players. Almunia: Arsene Wenger will wear an Almunia around...
Running the rule over Arsenal signing Lukas Podolski
The Good Age: 26 Height: 182cm (~6′) Weight: 82kg (180lbs) Foot: Left, left, left Arsenal confirmed the signing of Lukas Podolski from FC Koln today and by so doing have signaled that the club has shifted direction over last summer in terms of transfer business. Podolski’s transfer comes on the very day that Arsene Wenger...
Since I’m such a swell dude…
I am going to be largely quiet around here for a couple of weeks, as I'm getting set for my first vacation back home in a good while. Life is crazy busy just making it to the vacation, but I did happen to get birdie word about the guest pass list for t...

Another RBNY enemy surfaces
Er, this is awkward now...
This time it's Michael Ballack's agent, Michael Becker, oddly enough...
“It seems that Solér already made massive promises to Stephen Ireland in October. This is an unbelievable incident,” Becker said. “Why would you go for a no-name player who no one knows, who hasn't started in months, when Michael Ballack is available?”
"Ask...
