Deadline Day!

Morning all,

The final few hours to go for Arsene Wenger to sign a midfielder or two. We're again being linked with the German left back Christoph Metzelder as I've already reported to you. How much substance there is, we'd find out in the next few hours.

Personally, I prefer we sign a midfielder or two as its essential we bolster our midfield. I'm not sure there is need for another leftback at this moment in time.

In other news, this weekend marked Cesc Fabregas` 200th appearance. It is remarkable that at the tender age of 21, this young Spaniard has played so many games at the top level for Arsenal.

He made his debut for the Gunners at Highbury in the Carling Cup against Rotherham United in October 2003, becoming the youngest ever first team player for Arsenal, at the age of 16 years and 177 days. In that same competition he also became the youngest ever goal scorer when he netted his first goal against Wolves in December wearing the number fifty seven. 25 goals and 49 assists later, Cesc has matured before our eyes into one of the most influential midfielders in the world.

I hope he stays with us till the end of his career, helping us win many many trophies along the way.

Right, thats the lot.

Come on Arsene!
