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. 🙂
