Pjanic snubs Arsenal for Lyon; Merida, P.Botelho in action

Posted by Jeorge Bird on May 17, 2008

First up, Arsenal target Miralem Pijanic looks set to snub the Gunners to join Lyon, after the player’s father revealed that a deal had been agreed with the French club.

The agreement will be signed between Monday and Thursday

Pjanic was also linked to Barcelona, but has opted against joining the Catalan giants

Regarding the current turbulences at the club, it would not be the best solution, said about a possible move to Barca.

From what I’ve seen of him, he certainly looks like a decent player and would certainly suit Arsenal’s style of play. However, with the likes of Merida and Wilshere already at the club, would we really need him?

Now on to the loan news.

Fran Merida- Real Sociedad 2 Granada 74 0

Fran started the game for Sociedad as they took on Granada 74. Victor gave the hosts the lead on 75 minutes, before Marti’s goal four minutes from time sealed the win.

Pedro Botelho- Real Sporting de Gijon 0 Salamanca 0

Pedro came on for the last two minutes as Salamanca were held to a goalless draw by Gijon.

Carlos Vela- Racing Santander v Osasuna

Carlos is expected to be named in the Osasuna squad for tomorrow’s crucial game against Racing Santander. Osasuna need a victory to ensure their La Liga status. Check back tomorrow to see how Carlos got on.
