Arsenal to Snaffle Fellaini
This line appeared late on Thursday night that Arsenal are doing their damnedest to prove to everyone that they are still big boys and are doing all sorts of bicep tensing and hard man talk to prove so. Apparently the first thing they are going to do to prove how mean and rich they are is chuck £24m at Marouane Fellaini and activate his release clause. The lairy Belgian can play anywhere down the centre of the pitch and would add some much needed steel and height to the nifty dwarfs that usually populate Arsenal’s midfield. Possible snag? The release clause is for clubs in the Champions League. Arsenal still have to qualify, remember. They’d best hope they swerve the likes of Zenit St Petersburg, Basel and Lyon in the playoff… Otherwise, it looks remarkably like a move that would leave all involved satisfied.
