Oh yes, it is also transfer season

The latest rumor is that Chelsea will battle Real Madrid for the services of Arsenal full back Ashley Cole. This is great news for Arsenal...why you might ask?

Cole was not coming back to Arsenal, with Real and Chelsea rumored the past seasons for his services it was only a matter of time before he got his way. His past season injury gave Arsenal the need to find a replacement left back (Clichy was also hurt). Wenger was able to convert midfielder Flamini to left back, and the picked up Eboue during the transfer window. With Clichy back to full form, Flamini's versatilty, and Eboue, I would gladly see Arsenal sell Cole. I hope that both super clubs drive up his price, and that he ends up at Real Madrid....still don't want to have to face him at Chelsea.
