Arsenal sign Silvestre

When you consider that those two were out for a combined four months last season, he is still going to get a respectable amount of games.

Probably got a 3 year deal, while he only had 1 year left here? who knows. Maybe he's gonna take Clichy's pace

No chance

We'll see, he wouldn't sign without a promise of games, and he's such a shite CB surely Wenger wouldn't be that crazy.

Anyone know?

Isn't Toure your 2nd choice right back?
Doesn't Gallas sometimes play left back?

Yeah i just realised what you were on about

Fucking hell.


It seems for wenger to sign players these days they have to be one (or more) of the following : black, french, under 20 or injury prone.

My thoughts exactly

Weird, there's no way Fergie would let him go unless he doesn't think he's the same player he was (he wasn't that great to start with). Dependable back up for Evra though.

From Arsenal's perspective I think he's obviously well out in front of Troare on experience alone. Could be in front of Senderos as well but he's normally a disaster at centre back.

All of us know Silvestre is less than average, i expect Fergie see's that aswell. Plus you have Roberto Carlos x10 in your ranks, so why keep him?? I'm just gutted he didn't go to Sunderland.

United trying to raise money for Berbatov signing?

only £27m to go

Man United fans are the most loyal fans on the face of this planet

I always liked him as a left back, less likely to make a costly f*ck up and his crossing is good. Just since Evra's form he's never going to get many games, plus 31 and on the return from an injury it'll be hard to keep up any form.

Roberto Carlos is obviously the future replacement, however if he's not considered ready that means John O'Shea playing there.

So Barça's youth didn't have any decent CB/LB?

They wern't good enough unfortunately

Buy of the summer.

I would have kept him. By selling Silvestre we lose our back-up LB and 3rd/4th choice CB.

Althought he did miss most of last season through injury

2007/08 - 5(1) apps
2006/07 - 13(8.) apps

Hopefully this will mean more playing time for Fabio and Evans, plus Silvestre wages + transfer fee = Berbatov.

Beckham, Van Offside, Stamm, Forlan

Yep, Silvestre fits in that bracket quite well doesn't he.
