DavB93 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Mourinho has already came out and said if he can't sign Cole he'll go and sign another left back, so we will still beable to go for Bridge as he won't be first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46208 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The Cole thing will go through IMO. Arsenal can't afford to have him disrupt their season with the constant press speculation (same again in January), and Mourinho really wants to piss Wenger off. He'll end up at Chelsea in the next 3 weeks, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Southampton have 17 year old (I think) midfielder who has two in two this season (35 yard screamer last night apparently). And there is also a young kid at Derby (Giles something) who we have apparently looked at last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he wants to is another matter I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
