Soccernet say Dein and Wenger are in negotiation with Lazio still,
and focus on the great deal Nic would be getting in Rome. They also
have Wenger saying he hopes it'll all be sorted by July 10th
("when the international players join up with the rest of the
squad", interesting news for those with tickets for Borehamwood on
the 9th).

However, elsewhere the same people tell us that the Lazio chairman
is still waiting to hear from Arsenal, and he's gone off to his boat for
the weekend.

Football 365 have Claude Anelka saying that his brother will go
on strike (yawn) if Arsenal try to block his move to Lazio ! He even
has the cheek to suggest that Arsenal should start behaving like adults.
