Summer Update

It's been a while since i wrote something, so I thought that a little update in the middle of the summer could be good (;


Silly Season;

Arsenal signed Thomas Vermaelen in the beginning of summer, he is a belgian defender from Ajax, where he was team captain.
Right now they are trying to sign Felipe Melo from Fiorentina, he is a brasilian who has been working a lot with Gilberto Silva in the national team, it looks like it will be some money and a swap with Eboue..
There has been some rumors about Adebayor, some saying that Milan will offer lots of money and Flamini for the togolese striker.


Some Players have extended their contracts;

Robin van Persie, he turned down Inter, Juventus, Chelsea and Manchester City before extending the contract (;
Kieran Gibbs
Jack Wilshere
Lukasz Fabianski
Aaron Ramsey
Theo Walcott


That's pretty much it for the time being, some signings that doesn't really but are quite interesting still, is that Real Madrid has signed Kaka, Ronaldo and Benzema, so far!
United signed Michael Owen! As a replacement for Ronaldo perhaps.. But then signing an old has-been isn't really what i'd have in mind, but well shall see and judge from that instead.

Arsenal have so far 10 pre-season games, and is as always hosting Emirates Cup, which this year will make room for Paris Saint-Germain, Rangers and Atletico Madrid.


I have not gone through my summer non-footballing way, so I can take the chance now;

In the beginning of summer I went to Ylva's place in the country, and was there for a week, we had a really good time, here's a picture of the house and some freaky frogs that her cousins brought with them;;



After that I was home a couple of days before I went to Rome!

We saw Colosseum, The Vatican State, Pantheon, 'Forum Romano' and much more, we were there for three days, Annas friend Elin joined us for this one.
Here is a picture of Colosseum;;
