Thank Christ that’s over. The facts:
1) Cashley Cole is now a Chelsea player. Hmm, I may have to lose Wayne Bridge from my fantasy team. And I’d only just signed him. Bah.
2) William Gallas is now an Arsenal player. Arsenal are also £5m richer.
Would you rather be Arsenal or Chelsea on this one? Both are undoubtedly world-class defenders, but Cole is 25, Gallas 29. Is that four-year age gap worth £5m? Plus I have my doubts that Gallas is 100% happy with the arrangement – he wanted to move to Italy, not stay in (a shittier part of) London. Let us know what you think…
