The 37-year-old has been linked with a move to North London and former boss
Roy Hodgson was ready to let him go until he himself left for Anfield.
現年37歲的他，一直有傳聞指出將轉會到北倫敦，且前任教練 Roy Hodgson 有意讓他去
直到該教練自己也轉任 Anfield 的教練。

Arsenal had bid ￡2 million for Schwarzer but at the time Fulham were holding
out for twice that amount.
Arsenal 已經對 Schwarzer 開價￡2m，但 Fulham 對價錢不滿而兩次拒絕。

However, new boss Mark Hughes has told Schwarzer that he cannot leave Craven
Cottage and the Australian looks set to formally ask Fulham for a transfer.
無論如何，Fulham 新任教練 Mark Hughes 告訴 Schwarzer 不許離開 Craven Cottage
(克拉文農場，Fulham 的主場)，而這名澳洲籍球員似乎準備正式要求 Fulham 讓他走。

“I need it to happen, said Schwarzer, who believes it’s his last chance to
join a big club with his 38th birthday looming. I’ve had a couple of chats
with Mark [Hughes]. It’s delicately poised. Who wouldn’t be keen to go to
Arsenal? At this stage in my career it’s an amazing opportunity to play at
that level and one I really want to take.”
『我需要它成真』Schwarzer 表示，且認為這是最後的機會來加入大球會，因為自己即
將邁入38歲。『我與 Mark [Hughes] 有兩次的面談。目前在轉會的事上有些微妙。但
有誰會不想去 Arsenal 呢？在我足球職涯的這階段裡，那是極棒的機會能在那樣等級的
球會上場，而且那是我真心想要抓住的機會。』

“I have never sat out a game [to prove a point] and never would,” Schwarzer
said. “But it needs to be resolved sooner rather than later.
『我不會缺席賽事(來表明自己的看法)，將來也不會，』Schwarzer如是說。『但這事能
儘快搞定愈好。』

“I’m not sure whether I’ll play [for Fulham] on the weekend. I’ve got a
few little injury problems but we’ll have to wait and see how I pull up when
I return to London.”
『我不確定是否會在週末代表 Fulham 上場，目前我有一點小傷在身。我們等等看我回到
倫敦以後的恢復的如何。』

“It’s taken a long time and the season’s very close,” he admitted. “On
one hand you understand them not wanting to disrupt too many things but I
want things resolved as quickly as possible.”
『這需要一些時間，且賽季即將開打，』他承認地說，『另一方面，你需要理解 Fulham
不想受太多事情打岔，但我希望事情儘快解決。』
(是指 Fulham 換了教練之事)

“Only time will tell whether that happens or not.”
『等時間到了就會知道結果。』

Despite having one of the best clean sheet to games ratio in Arsenal’s
history - 66 from 161 games – most Gooners don’t want to see him as the
Gunners’ no.1 ‘keeper this season.
儘管 Almunia 有著在 Arsenal 以來，其中一個擁有最佳的"無失球"(Clean sheet)記錄
─ 161 場裡 66 場無失球的記錄，但大部分的槍迷都不希望看到他代表槍手的首發門將

How do you feel about Almunia playing on Sunday? Our latest poll suggests
that signing a new goalie is vital if Arsenal are to challenge for major
honours.
你是怎麼看待週日派上 Almunia 看守球門呢？我們最近做的投票結果，指出"簽下新門將
是不可或缺的，如果 Arsenal 想要爭冠的話。"
(是指 Goonertalk 的部落格上的投票)
