April 2013:
Ivan runs into Arsene’s office,
“Arsene, Arsene, We’ve done it, we’ve signed Stevan Jovetic. It’s a done deal, all sorted, no dramas”
“Now Ivan, are you sure. I’ve heard these sort of stories before” retorts Arsene
“Well, we’ve agreed terms with the player” Ivan responds excitedly.
“Really Ivan, really?”
“I’m about to speak to his agent, but its all sorted, scouts honor”
“mmmmmm?”

“Ivan, really now, is it all finalized this time?”
“Arsene trust me, Real have said we can talk & his dad says he’s coming. £25 mil’ It’s in the bag, no problems”
“Ivan, when the fax lands in my desk, I’ll celebrate”
“O yea of little faith, Arsene”

“Look Arsene, £40,000,001 & it’s in the bag, Suarez is ours. It’s written in his contract”
“Ivan, you are pissing me off now. Is this one all sorted?”
“Arsene, come on, when have I ever let you down? Suarez is ours, I’ve booked the medical. We will unveil him before the Emirates Cup. Don’t worry”
“I don’t want to look stupid here, I’m getting fed up of all this. I never had these problems when David was around!! Just tell me, IS IT SORTED?”
“Look Arsene, this is what Stan employees me for. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing”

Arsene, “FOR FCUKS SAKE IVAN“
August 2013:
“Arsene, I’ve got this player, Gustavo, he…”
“IVAN, JUST FCUK OFF & LEAVE ME ALONE!!!“
& so the “Arsenal double act” continues, but Saturday showed that it can’t carry on for long.
3 very important ‘solution opportunities’ were highlighted against Villa:
1. Next weekend, due to injury & suspension, The BFG is our only available first team CB. Compounded further if Gibbs & Bac are injured, potentially 5 from 7 defenders out !!!!
2. ‘Theres something about Mikel’. If Arteta don’t play, we don’t win !!!!
3. OG needs help up front. He doesn’t scare defenders, but he CAN score goals, he needs a partner or serious competition & fast.
It would be good to have 3 months to sort all this out…..
oh yeah, WE DID HAVE !!!!!
