A Bullet Point Day

0
In the scheme of things, what's important to me today does not at all relate to football (these things are the Tour de France and all of today's excitement). But, as with the world, things move on regardless of how much cycling I watch. Bullet points. Hleb left Arsenal -- good riddance. I am glad to be rid of him. Click to continue reading...

Wenger Glad To Be Rid of Hleb

2
And it doesn't sound like he gives a toss about him leaving either. Hleb was unveiled at Barcelona yesterday formally, and I'm happy to see him go. As I said yesterday I think Nasri, Walcott, Vela, and Rosicky (if healthy) are all better assets to have on the wing than the Hlebanator. Arsene thanked him for his service but didn't seem too upset:

'We must firstly thank Alex for his contribution towards Arsenal during his time with us.
