Fran Merida is a Gooner !

After all the speculation about Fran Merida, it has finally been revealed that he is a gooner. He played in the Arsenal XI against Boreham Wood on Friday (when the first side was facing Alkmaar).

Merida marked his first appearance on English soil with a goal to remember as a youthful Arsenal XI eased to 4-0 victory at Boreham Wood. Lupoli found Merida in space 25 yards out and the young Spaniard fizzed a swerving shot into the roof of the net past a bemused keeper.

Merida was well sort after by several clubs (including Barcelona where he was on youth forms) and was signed much in the same way as Cesc Fabregas – through the same agent.

Barcelona will not be happy – but it serves them right for all the rubbish newpaper talk that they continually put us through with Henry over the last three seasons. 🙂

Friday Friendly Results.

Friday, August 04, 2006, 7pm CET

AZ Alkmaar   0
Arsenal         3

Gilberto 36, Adebayor 52, Van Persie 74 (pen)  

Arsenal warmed up for their crucial Champions League qualifying tie at Dinamo Zagreb next week with a comfortable 3-0 win against AZ Alkmaar on Friday night.

Goals from Gilberto, Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie saw Arsène Wenger’s side complete their pre-season in fine style. 🙂

Other results :

Man United 3 beat Porto 1
(but both Rooney & Scholes sent off)

FC Mainz 5 beat Liverpool 0 !!!!
Liverpool played all the names with Hyppia, Traore, Gerrard, Alonso, Pennant, Crouch and Bellamy in the starters – but looked very disorganised at the back.
