ARSENAL TAUNTED BY KEN BATES

Speaking on Chelsea TV, Ken Bates said:

"Even if they (Arsenal) wanted Terry or Gallas they couldn't
afford them,

"I gather they are struggling to raise money for their new
stadium and Arsene Wenger has been told he has to sell
before he buys. So I rather thought that we'll be buying
from them than the other way round.

"Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira, and perhaps Thierry Henry
might just about scrape in the side. They'd give us a more
balanced team and help them start the foundations for their
new stadium."
