Good morning,
Sorry for my three-day absence. Acclimatisation seems to have finally got to me, restricting me to become a passive onlooker.
Anyway, I'll start with the good news. Wheels of signings finally started turning, with Arsenal agreeing terms (both personal and with the club) to buy Bernard, a young Brazilian midfielder from Atletico Mineiro. According to the ESPN, Arsenal paid around £19 million to wrap up the deal. I haven't heard of the guy before, but with several prominent clubs sneaking around, we seem to have found someone of real value. Fingers crossed it's not made up by the reporters, and we'll see some confirmation soon. What's interesting, is that news of the deal started spreading shortly after Arsene said we were nowhere near signing anyone. He may have bluffed, of course. We all know, how he likes to keep things quiet when it comes to transfers.
