More stop gap, washed up, Silvestre/Cygan type players. I can see our rivals quivering

His best years were in Monaco, the team that reached the finals thanks to Morientes.

Thanks for the info Vince, always good to have the FRENCH CONNECTION.

Think Squillacci played against us in the 2008 Amsterdam tournament for Sevilla.

Heard the name but do not know too much about him.

john cross knows his stuff concerning arsenal, so probably true. never seen him play, but of what ive heard hes not all that

He's more a strong in the air, tough, aggressive center half than Koscielny. He's got much more experience aswell (he's international, won many titles with Lyon, won the Spanish Cup last season with Seville, played a Champion's League final with Monaco ...). But he's not as comfortable as Vermaelen and Kocielny with the ball.

so if we went by medals in top draw this guy would be by far the best player in our team!!!

It's ironic that I read an article on the Online Gooner site several days ago in which somebody was praying for the day when we'd once again sign someone he didn't have to Wikipedia to find out about.

And yet here we are.

Presumably its all part of Arsene's dastardly plan to win the inter-league managers scrabble tournament?
