Ok, ok, I'll resist this one.

Rio for God's Sake! He's been plagued with injuries (3 different ones) since he came to OT. I know that in a very near future he'll deliver the goods but for the time being I consider him to be a waste of money just like Diego... just think whether their respective prices match their ability, for the time being of course.
Don't take me wrong, I only hope that SAF gets the right guy just like when he bought Cantona.

Good news! I thought Henry and his pals would have convinced him to play for Arsenal <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

We've got two world cup winners and a football legend on our side to help convince him. <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

Its been confirmed that he did personally make that radio interview, so I thought I'd get our site a scoop and get in their first. Would be great to add the first translated quotes though.

Neil, no problems..Will try and get you the exact quote made and the translation. The reason he is not too keen on Arsenal is that Wiltord and Henry are already there and ahead of him in addition to the French National team. He would prefer to be taken as a seperate entity and at a place with not many strikers to get a real chance to prove himself. What better opportunity than with us given our current striking shyness and with Blanc who is revered by all it seems interesting.

Common' SAF.</strong><hr></blockquote>
What a combination Ruud and Cisse
Marvelous

Actually, I haven't heard that interview, and I regret it. I'm not surprised, I've always said that he was interested by United too, people tend to pick some sentences translated by English tabloids and they trust them too much. So when I read again and again "Cisse prefers Liverpool" and after "Cisse has spoken to Henry and Wiltord and now he would like to play for Arsenal" I knew it was not as simple.

I know we have been linked with Mexes loads of times, but what is teh availablility of Boumsong? I think he could be the sort of no-nonsense central defender we need. He's built like a tank too!! And I saw we were linked with Kapo(did I see he played for Les Bleus tonight??) once a few weeks back. heard anything there? Thanks.

Djibril coming to OT makes more and more sense when you stop to think about it. We can bid more money and offer him a greater role than Arsenal and Liverpool can. He could walk right into the lineup and play next to Ruud...

Not in january, but next summer, yes, but accompanied by exit(s) too.
