Dein confirms talks

David Dein today confirmed that Arsenal have had preliminary discussions with Chelsea regarding Cashley, the talks have been very civil. Dein denied that Cashley was going to Chelsea stating that he is still an Arsenal player, he has been a player since the age of 16 and remains an Arsenal player.

arsenalHopefully this episode of Arsenal’s history will be confirmed early next week and we can invest the money in creating a stronger squad. I think we could do with some English players to strength our squad and meet future Champions League rules, however you can see Arsene’s reluctance as you currently don’t get value for money, Curtis £10m+, Carrick £15m+ etc. etc.

Not much other news today, apart from Rosicky is fitting in well in Austria on the pre-season tour.
