This player was useless at manure, if this goes through it confirms what a lot of people say about our available transfer funds!
The potential signing of Man utd bit part player, really tells us everything we need to know about Arsenals ambitions this season. Though if it means we sell on the gifted Senderous to Newcastle then at least good as come out of it.
Where is the midfielder we need to compliment the genius of Cesc
a 31 year old LEFT BACK...he should be left back at man u! wheres our midfield man...this is a joke
Noooooooo! Just like how happy arsenal fans were when we thought we were selling senderos and actually getting money for him, utd fans will not be able to contain themselves at selling their liability to US!!!!! Plz dont do wenger, but in sayin that Arsene knows!!!! Cant argue with the man.
Oh my god, what's goin on, we need a devensive midfield to partner cesc, i was start smiling when i heard about possibility of gokhan's transfer, but suddenly it starts to disappear, and now the news comes up with 31 years old rival defender is coming to town?! well...it's horribly pathetic...i am really really sorry to hear that...
i for one dont think its a bad idea, it might actually prove to be a major coup! he's strong, experienced in the premiership (very) and could lend a lot of knowledge to the younger defenders at arsenal. and he could serve as a more reliable cover for the entrire back line. but he'll be more valuable on th training ground i suspect. better than senderos and djorou, we'll actually have a real CB for a change.
Hey you stupid moron, what is all this shit abou Arsene knows. For fuck sake the man is not god, would you pls wake up.
Well,silvestre coming to the emirates is not a big deal anyway,if he comes well and good,because he has experience if he doesnt,i dont care......as for the midfielder we need,song is there,diaby is and denilson...what happens,arsene knows....
even if this rumour is true, this wont be our last signing.
remember last year when wenger said on 27th or 28th august that he wont be buying a player-----we got diarra remember....................
