It is interesting to see Silvestre joined Arsenal. One of the biggest rivals in the EPL. But the question I ask my self is, are arenal and Man U still big rivals as they used to be. As we saw from Ronaldo saga Arse said that he was happy that ronaldo stayed at man united and he was against it from the beginning. Silvestre joined arsenal answers my question they are not big rivals any more. But why, is it because Man United do not think arsenal are big challengers to the title and think given them Silvestre won’t help then or do they want that the title goes either Man united or arsenal by giving Silvestre. Don’t know I am arsenal fan and I think he will help the young players by giving them advise and the experience they lacked last year and my be wenger will move Toure to DM and play Silvestre with Gallas it will be interesting to see. What you people think. Gooners 4life.
I think he'll be a big asset, gives us another experienced head. hes got pace, hes a big powerful defender is good in the air, lets hope hes got over the injury from las season, the key for me is he knows exactly what it is to play at a top premiership and european club. he can also play LB. Hes an out and out defender aswell, not to say that he cant venture forward.
A specialised Defensive central midfielder would be nice... again someone whos powerful, a midfield general... some1 who will protect the back 4 as well as let Cesc, Nasri and Rosicky roam around. As good as Flamini was last season i dont think he gave us the presence we needed. If not lets hope Diaby steps up!!
If we put Kolo in midfield along with Cesc and if Mika can last for the whole season, the title is ours. Him and Gallas would be devastating at the back and Kolo is very decent. I hope he doesnt gets injured, that is my prime concern.
