Sol long?

Word from "sources close to the club" has it that Sol Campbell has been told that he is free to leave the Gunners if he wishes.

Sol is being linked with Fulham, Inter Milan, Newcastle and Fenerbace for between £4m-£8m depending on what paper you read.

"Reports" in Italy are linking fallen hero Patrick Vieira back to Arsenal. One report reckons that Patrick could be 'convinced' of an Arsenal return due to Henry's decision to stay with the club. Excuse me? Just for fun, lets put a price tag on Vieira... £6m-£7m

Fran Merida of Barcelona is being linked to a Cesc Fabregas style move to Emerites this summer. If you havent seen the video clips of this kid I urge you to google his name and track down the video... he looks absolutely lethal. This looks like it may be a £450 000 deal.

Yet another German based player is being linked to Arsenal today. Nuri Sahin seems destined to join the Arsenal project. The Borussia Dortmund 17 year old Turk has a contract to 2009 and was the subject of a 3m euro Arsenal bid last summer. A move this summer will likely cost at least £5m.

Other bits and pieces of the day, Big Sam is yappin' about David Dein again.. and not getting the England job.

Robin Van Persie was man of the match as Holland beat Cameron 1-0.
