Many of you who have observed my frenzied posts about this man will know he's a personal favourite of mine, silly hair and all. Indeed, I afford him the same level of respect I reserve for Stevie G, Mikey Owen, Joe Cole, Ryan Giggs and Andrei Kanchelskis (Effectively, these men can do no wrong). This is praise indeed. I've hoped for over a year that a Prem team will sign him. And now dirty Viera is very possibly on his way out...

If he does indeed come to the Prem, I'll be so happy I might bless Colourless/Ashley by giving my approval to Adrian Mutu. Maybe.

I agree with all of the above

At the very least, I'd have expected them to go for van Bommel...

I don't care if he won the Champions' League with Porto last season.
I don't care how vital a role he played for Portugal in Euro 2004.

I still think anyone could do far better than to sign Maniche.
Especially a club like Arsenal.

You're not just replacing a midfielder here... It's Patrick Vieira; the driving force behind your midfield; your very own Roy Keane.

Who the heck was this Maniche, 12-months-ago!?


If I were Arséne Wenger [Thank the Lord I'm not!!], personally, I'd rather go for Germany's one out-standing outfield player - Michael Ballack. He hasn't simply made a big name for himself after only 6 months of impressive football - he's been doing it for years, now!

Maniche would be the 'easy option' for Wenger; the "panic-buy", if you like.

He reminds me a little of Chelsea and their £24m man Didier Drogba.
Who was he a year ago? Is it too much to judge him on one good season??


Liverpool did the same thing with El-Hadji Diouf, after the 2002 World Cup... Look what happened there, and learn from it! :I

Ah, the topsy-turvy world of Maniche adoration. According to Sky Sports, Arsenal are 95% certain of signing Maniche.

The only dark cloud on my horizon is that Arsenal may turn him into a dirty cheat like the rest of the squad. The hope is that Viera won't be there to teach him the Way of the Dive, but I believe Pires and Henry are learned enough to pass what they have learned from their master on.

It's mean to get my hopes up and then dash them, Wenger-boy.

"Happen"? Heh.

*pictures Alex Ferugson emerging from a shadowy alley to slip a wad of cash to a man in a trenchcoat. "I want someone....removed." "No problem, boss. Who's the man?"*
