I like Hoilett because I *believe* he'd be the first ever Canadian at Arsenal. Will have to look into this.

Riccardo Montolivo would be a great acquisition on a free.

van Bommel would be an interesting defensive stopper off the bench, but he's probably too old for the Prem. Zambrotta is another pretty experienced defender who appears to be available.

And while I haven't seen him play in quite some time, oldtimer Marcos Senna used to be a pretty steady midfielder. Don't know if the years are catching up fast with him though.

Senna would have been perfect 2 / 3 years ago to add a bit of bite to midfield, haven't seen him play recently but would fear that his best days are behind him now.

I wouldn't have Flamini anywhere near the club, a 6 month wonder who got way too big for his boots.

I reckon Wenger will go for Rodellaga or Hoilet, they are both up his street.......free.
Rodellaga will be a good replacement for RVP.........20m in, nothing out!! Perfect for Wenger.

No idea what condition he's in like, so maybe he's out of contract for a reason. :?
his head is knackered...fractured his skull or something

Thats why crash helmets should be compulsory, I wear one, so do my kids, they look a bit divvy to start with but once you paint them with your own designs they look quite cool. My kids have told me the other kids at school were so impressed that they wanted to spend the whole break time testing them out and throwing things at them. Amazing how something like that can make your kids so popular :barscarf: Helmets Rock!

Totally agree Foster would make a great number 2 (tell him he can be cup keeper).

Noticed that Kjaer and Diego were both out on loan from Wolfsburg, would love to test them with a bid (including one or more of our dregs).

Lets face it even free Wenger won't sign any of them.

However after trawling through the lists (and noting Denilson is the highest valued brazilian on there!) and considering how we need our defence to stick together more, I think we should go for the brazilian centre back who goes by the name Gum....
