Arsenal's Jack Wilshere to undergo minor knee surgery

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is to undergo minor knee surgery in Sweden over the next few days.
The 20-year-old missed the whole of the 2011-12 campaign with an ankle problem, which has also ended his hopes of representing England at Euro 2012.
Jack Wilshere's 2010-11
Arsenal: 49 appearances, two goals
England: 5 appearances
A long-standing knee injury has flared up during his rehabilitation from that ankle problem.
A club statement read: "This procedure is not expected to significantly affect Jack's comeback ahead of next season."
It added: "On returning to England, Jack will resume his rehabilitation with the Arsenal medical team over the summer."
This latest operation will cast further doubt on Wilshere participating in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
It was understood Stuart Pearce was considering Wilshere for Team GB in the men's football tournament starting on 26 July.
And Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will be looking to determine whether his midfield dynamo will be fit for pre-season training starting on 9 July

 

Fulham have announced on their official website that Mahamadou Diarra will remain at Fulham FC until the summer of 2013.

 

I liked Desailly's quote on Rodgers leaving Swansea for Liverpool:

 

Fabio Capello looking for Chelsea job apparently. Would`ve thought Chelsea would be approaching him not the other way around.

Seems strange that its not at Wembley.

Grant holt has had a transfer request turned down by Norwich. Strange one that

 

Weird how Holt has handed in a transfer request

 

Man Utd rb Rafael has been called up for Brazil's squad for the upcoming games against Denmark, USA, Mexico and Argentina. He is replacing Daniel Alves, who got injured and was removed from the squad.

 

A bit of a shame, aye, not to mention illegal!

 

Grant Holt has gotten far too big for his boots. Seen him in the papers recently saying he should defiantly be in the England squad.

Probably thinks since he played a big part in Lambo's rise in stock, he deserves a move as well. If it wasn't for Norwich he would probably be playing league one football, disrespectful lump of wood.

Overrated to *. Would take him here but for no more than £3m and modest wages.

 

James McArthur pens two-year contract extension at Wigan
THE midfielder has signed a new deal to keep him at the DW Stadium until 2016

 

Supposedly that mob chelsea want hazard and are willing to pay £250,000 a week for him, Hope we don't see another player run to a club because of money because it seems chelsea are getting good at this. I hope these outrageous wages and transfer fees come back to bite them hard.
