A summer car boot sale? How is GFS doing? Can I get more?'s

Morning all, another sunny day in the UK today with drought on the horizon and hosepipes banned except in Scotland who knows what the summer will bring? Well at Arsenal I hope for a massive car boot sale to get rid of some of the player clutter we seem to have built up. You know how it is, you move to a shiny new home and then before you know it you have built up an alarming amount of stuff which you never use. So, thought Arsene, standing by the boot of a car with a table in front of him with the players neatly arranged on a trestle table with little tags on them with their asking price. "Who wants a under used Park, in working order, perhaps with a clothes horse thrown in for good measure?" A queue of clubs wandering around the car park at the Emirates trying to get a bargain and an annoying little man from Citeh pointing at RVP saying "I want that one!" "he is not for sale" says Arsene as the little man keeps waving a large wad of notes under his nose, "not even a little bit!"

Yes I realise that this is rather far fetched (It would be fun though) but a clear out is very much on the cards when you see the amount of players we have who give very little for the amount of money they are costing. A revamp of our wage budget is required when you look at the following.
Andrey Arshavin is on £75,000 per week whilst at Zenit. Then there is Chamakh and Almunia on £60,000, Squillaci, Bentner,Vela and Denilson on £50,000. I am not sure what business head Ivan Gazidis is currently wearing but it seems that Denilson will stay on loan for another season in Brazil, due to his current change of form. If I were Ivan I would say pay up or he is for sale to who ever. Then comes Park, currently on £40,000 compared to Oxlade Chamberlain on £20,000 it sort of makes a mockery of our wage structure.

If this clear out is realised we would have funds to tempt RVP to stay, give the likes of Song what he deserves and Walcott incentive to re-sign. Also a chance to get some of our summer targets too. Some areas of the press are saying a cull of £23m. Personally I think it is just good business which the club has needed for some time. Arsenal have to kick on next season and stop, as Ian Wright puts it, being a champions league qualifying club only. The fans deserve more than that, even if some are fickle and cry for heads to roll. So Arsene if you need a hand getting the car boot sale organised, give me a shout. I will get Mrs F to do your artwork and Surfergirl to make the bacon sandwiches and big Ray for security. Along with Statto taking the money and myself shouting "Get your Arsenal players here!" we have a good Sunday day out on our hands. Hows July looking for you?

As for ourselves, I thought I would give you a bit of an update on how GFS is doing. Since we started back in September 2011, where does the time go, we have being doing quite well. A few ups and downs along the way both football and blog wise too but we are getting there. With a good wind behind us we are looking to go full time with the site later this year so keep your eyes pealed for updates on that. We have got some good writers now too, but we never say no to anyone who wants to have a go, from the UK, USA and even South Africa where we found a Ghost. Our top 10 all time list of where we are read are as follows;

United Kingdom
USA
South Africa
Nigeria
Ireland
India
Russia
Germany
Canada
South Korea

I am constantly amazed at how far away from Sussex we have been read so on behalf of all at GFS can I say a very big thank you for finding us, reading us and staying with us. You are all part of our ever growing family and you know that where ever you are, your never far from a fellow Gooner.

Laters,
The Dog.
