Schwarzer: “I’m biding my time waiting for things to happen”
Fulham shot stopper Mark Schwarzer has spoken about his pending move to Arsenal, admitting that he’s “waiting for things to happen”.
Manager Arsene Wenger has been chasing the 37-year-old Australia keeper all summer but two separate offers have been rejected.
And despite Manuel Almunia’s comfortable performance in the 2-1 win at Blackburn, Wenger believes he needs a new goalkeeper to sustain a credible title challenge.
“I’m biding my time waiting for things to happen and then I’ll be on move – if you see what I mean,” Schwarzer was quoted as saying on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, Cottagers boss Mark Hughes also seems to be softening his stance, saying after Saturday’s draw with Blackpool:
“Mark Schwarzer has made it clear that he would like to go to Arsenal so we are trying to look at other options.”
The fact that the Gunners have reportedly increased their offer from £2.5m to £3m might also have made Hughes sway towards letting Schwarzer go.
A busy transfer deadline day is expected tomorrow with coverage on both the blog and Twitter, so stay tuned.
dam, can’t find it, I think they’ve removed all the articles from jan 2010. but it was so freaky, when I went back to read it in April, how exact it was…I bet you make tonnes of money at the bookies if you can predict things like that mate! xD. aint you like 18 or sumut? kinda makes me look like a granddad but if you go on like this you’ll be rich by the time your 30
@Highbury4L:
but ye, I just say what I feel buddy. and to be honest, I really do think Manchester City will have a massive internal problem with the squad sooner or later and the fact they are ripping players from the roots of their team of origin and ruining them will eventually get enough history to force players away, players are like flies, and city are like a venus fly trap. “Looks like a nice plants to land on, yer looks brilliant, wow, this is such a good plant, why has no other flies tried this before” then *SNAP!* the mouth closes, the door shuts and their stuck their until they come back out as poo…like Robinho and Bellamy…well actually, they came out of the club as good players but were rubbish for City. Anyway you get my point.
oh, going back to what we originally said aside from all these venus fly traps (xD, I seriously don’t know how I got to that) but shay given will not be leaving city according to sky sports and neither will Emmanuel Adebayor

so looks like Schwarzer is still the man, but I don’t think a keeper is the answer at the moment, its defenders, were running out.
City are destroying football and thats it. OAH! ye, by the way, I do win on bets a bit but I did have a disaster last weekend, betted 50 quid on Tottenham to beat Wigan for the sake of 12 quid…thanks Tottenham
@Highbury4L: I did post a reply, looks like it didnt show up.
anyway, I more or less joked about the fact you remember everything I said and called you a pe- -do which I’m guessing is why it didnt submit.
but anyway, ye, I do this freaky prediction thing a lot. But even though I had 10 betting winning streak on bet365, I did just lose all of my 50 quid this weekend.
Betted Tottenham would beat wigan all for the sake of 12 pounds as I figured I’d muster 62 quid and it was likely to happen…thanks Tottenham
any possibilities of a cb or striker till the end of the day?
