wld only be happy if this is not the experincd player he promised us.

if he cld get us either veloso or inler.great

but if not,this is all crap as our gaffer has started double standard.over 31 yrs and 2 yrs contract,


wtf

Hannibal:

You forgot to add he paid 8 million pounds(according to MUTV) to get Silvestre.
He was even given a 2-year-contract. . . . .The same Wenger who never gives more than a year contract for over 30s.
How trustworthy is this Le Prof when it comes to French players.
Is he insane??

Come on Hannibal,the united website said undisclosed fee and over fifteen media sources i have seen quoted £750,000 so how far with this your £8 million figure. Any way, fair play to Sir Alex. it is well appreciated.

wtf

my point exactly and Vicade is busy celebrating

still shocked

vicade:

I am still laughing at you  
At least you are not slamming the quality of silvestre like some naive united fans are.

Silvestre is premium quality IF u can keep him FIT.
It is a good buy and he won't complain for being on the bench like most people.
Besides, Silvestre can play in 2 positions. . . . .He can deputise for Gallas and play as a leftback so he is aiiight.

You see if clichy breaks his leg, we have Armand Traore an Silvestre as cover.
What happens when Evra gets Injured ? I think united have one silva guy who plays left back and John Oshea

Fabio Silva is good but he is just 18. . . . . .Would Fergie introduce him in a Champions League tie against Real Madrid if Evra gets crocked?
He is better than his twin brother(Rafael). . . .I saw the two guys play for Brazil in the last under 17 and he outshone his twin bruvva.
Jeeeez. . . . . .Fergie is bleeding players and he hasn't added any senior player this summer.
What is going ON?

I am watching REDCAFE now on MUTV. . . . . .It was mentioned there by one of the presenters although not officially confirmed.
Keane was ready to go 6 million. . . . . .Man City went further than that day before yesterday so i expect Arsenal to have offered more.
It can't be less than 6 million pounds. . . . . I know that much.

C'mon guys! Support your gaffer. He did what he had to do for his team,even if it makes him a lying,hypocritical,french-biased old man  


@H
Honestly i don't understand Fergie anymore sha

Cristalz:

Ma'am the name calling was uncalled for

he is still our gaffer

I am celebrating because wenger buying silvestre is better than wenger not buying anyone at all. I  STRONGLY agree we need that central midfielder but all through the summer my problem has been with the defence and i said this over and over again if you check my previous posts. Silvestre can cover for all of our starting back four except sagna and when he is fit he is quality(Even Hannibal confirmed this)

Hopefully, we can get Inler or veloso and that will be excellent. But if there is no Inler or Veloso , that will be just okay because Denilson/Diaby/Song will have to upgrade their game. If diaby can stay fit, he is capable of doing the job. i can't say the same for senderros and djorou.

@hannibal

I think his contract was supposed to expire next year so how can he cost 6 Million pounds? All the major newspaper sources quote £750,000. Check it out yourself.

and what happens to ferguson's statement during the heinze saga,he said he WILL never sell to any rival club, so what happened or is arsenal less of a rival now.I jsut hope our gaffer gets us a good dmf as we need one.inler esp @ least hes jsut 24 and cost within 10 million pounds.i wish i cld be happy but something in me tells me we are done in the transfer market.i pray it aint so though

@ Vicade,

Silvestre earns 80k a week at Man Utd. . . . . .
He has a contract till 2009. . . . . .Arsenal have to buy that out to prise him away(thats 4 million pounds already).
Mikael was bought for 2 years. . . . You can do the math!!!!
Looking at it critically, he cannot cost less than 8 million.

@ Kay_pumpin

Arsenal-Man Utd rivalry is manager made. . . . . . . They are not traditional rivals.
Liverpool, Man City, Everton and Blackburn(to a degree) are United's traditional rivals.
Ferguson will never sell a player to Liverpool.

Amen oooooooooooooooo.

We actually need someone like inler or veloso but the defence was my greatest fear not the midfield.

Imagine all those games we lost and drew due to poor defending and lapse of concentration even when hardworking flamini was playing.

I agree with you sir and that means the over twent media houses quoting £750,000 are wrong and you are right?

Well based on your KKK comments, i cant take you seriously but you might be right though to give you a benefit of a doubt and i think Sir Alex will definitely buy another left back

8 millie or not is not the problem.Am not dissapointed but surprised.Someone av a link where to confirm if this is the experienced player wenger is reffering to?until den i cant celebrate this putsch yet

Forget 20 media houses and their gibberish. . . . .They all SAID Ronaldo's cousin told em he would be at Real Madrid by 7th of July.
Where is Ronaldo today??

Well based on your KKK comments, i can't take you seriously but you might be right though to give you a benefit of a doubt and i think Sir Alex will definitely buy another left back

It cannot be too hard for Loyika to join KKK.
All he needs is a BLEACH, contact lens and what else??

so Jackal what's your point, Arsenal has paid too much to buy your player OR Arsenal signs a useless Manure player
what?

folahann:

so Jackal what's your point, Arsenal has paid too much to buy your player OR Arsenal signs a useless Manure player

Ma point is. . . . .Arsenal got a VERY GOOD PLAYER cheaply!!!!
If Wenger can keep him FIT throughout the season then he is a good snatch.
Mikael Silvestre is not useless. . . .If u don't believe me. . . . .ask Arsene Wenger what happened in April 2006 at OT.

all cleared now, but 8million as you claim is a cheap money to you, interesting

bottomline!

no more dmf signing, silvestre moves to the central defence and toure will now plays in the mildfield with fabregas.Knwing wenger well he blvs we have so many options everywhere and to dmf has got , denilson,diaby,bischoff with toure as option if this 3 very injury prone av to "party" weekin and out with Lewin.

Good signing but not the best.Will only be great if we get a new dmf

I wud only be happy if wenger signs a DM, i wud be extra happy if he adds arshavin before da window closes

[flash=200,200][/flash]

In retrospect however,I want to ask what influences these managers decisions.
I recall the time Ruud was to leave OT and there was this strong rumour that he may join 'em @ stamford bridge.Then AF nearly gave a kidney to ensure Ruud went anywhere but stamford bridge.We understood the sentiments then.
With that scenerio in mind, I really don't understand why AF would sell Silvestre to AW(last time I checked,they were not the best of pals)

N E way,Silvestre is experienced and solid so he's more than welcome @ the Emirates

Most times these Gaffers pull off one insane move
What on earth was fergie thinking selling Silvestre to them Gaynners!!!!!!!!
What quality replacement does he have for him?
As far as am concerned, O'shea who is the likely replacement isn't as tenacious and fast in recovery as MS
OMG!!! What the heck is this. . . . . . I just hope he's not banking on the Silva brothers because they can't boast of MS's experience
Gawd Oo gini d'ihe a

As for Arsene Wengay, i can bet my whole life that this guy is either confused or a disillusioned racist pillock.
Whats the obsession with les jouers francais? lets see how this one goes. . . .
But i am angry with SAF for plonking this chap off!!!!

@ Hannibal

There's more that this has to do than with AW solidarity with his compatriots,(Flamini is French and AW didn't lock him down and we had hoped he'D add Karem Benzema to the strike force),I think it's got more to do with the increasingly unpredictable direction of the whims and caprices of the two gaffers in question

All in all,we still need a DM and we have to make that long overdue sale/loan out/dash/offloading,yea I mean the offloading of Eboue

AW used to know but if he doesn't get rid of Eboue,then I'm afraid he may no longer be that good @ knowing

This is the height of rubbish

why should SAF sell the only reasonable cover for Evra. Why not sell O'shea to the gaynners?
and why would wengay be interested in a 31 year old reject from OT?
some stuffs wont just add up

@rasputinn
man, i share your sentiments
SAF wouldnt sell heinze to Pool, Ruud was never to be sold to the Billionaires and now our fiercest rival just got a player from us on a cheap.
They should be tested for drugs!!!

@ rasputinn
If I am not sure about anything,I am sure Eboue ain't going anywhere
Still reeling from shock.
Silvestre!!! an arsenal player!!!
OMG, The sports websites never saw this coming.

tkb417:





They should be tested for drugs!!!

Seconded.
I wonder if they both made some bucks from the transaction.
Maybe we should call in Detectives to investigate this sh@&.
Silvestre, a gunner!!!! Gosh, Is the world about to end

Silvestre a gunner?! God am I completely gutted. Its like being kicked in the kidney by a mule!!

Whats my next step? Am really considering it seriously. It has even crossed my mind to decamp, harsh as it may seem. . AW has really bleeped it up this time. DAMN!!!

Honestly, some stuffs in the transaction really don't add up.

i. Why would AW go buy a reject.
ii. Why from one of our fiercest rivals.
iii. Why pay as much as 8million pounds for him? Crazy!!
iv. Why give him more than a year contract when you keep hyping about having a policy in place that negates that?
v. Why a 31 year old? how long is he expected to serve the club??
vi. Why someone so anarchic and completely lead-footed that he makes one think of Bill Cosby in a footie kit!!

Right now am in a real bad mood, I really feel like killing someone and no prizes for guessing right who that is.

AW should be ashamed of himself, buying a 31yr old injury prone benchwarmer from a rival

And why Fergie sold to the gayners' is another mistery. But looking at it this way its easier for us to let silvestre go than it is for Le Arses to imagine him in a Gayner shirt. i guess its too late now.

Loyika even says he would not celebrate if he scores at OT

Seriously. . . . . Silvestre will bring some stability to your defence, if paired with kolo, it frees Gallas to man your DMF position. That can be a good option for Wenger.

Am looking forward to silvestre scoring a goal and Gallas, Fab4, Mofo, and makosa dancing Ade run after him in celebration. That would be sight.

@Vicade;

If clichy gets injured now, we have two possible options and silvestre can also play in the centre of defence. Come on guys, i think it is a shock signing but we , all of us from debosky to cesc04 have been clamouring for a boost in the defence. I think wenger have finally heeded our plea.

Please my brother, don't do this to me ok? Cool, I learnt my voice to those clamouring for defensive backup, but that don't mean I sanctioned AW to go make a complete monkey of himself. Look the gaffa has not only failed to read the script, me thinks he tore it, burnt it and scattered the ash across the thames!!

There's no excuse for what he has done. Its completely unforgivable, inexcusable, inexplicable,incomprehensible, inconceivable[b]. . .[/b] where was I? He has made us the laughing stock of the whole of earth!

If AW really wanted players who were rubbish, but had experience and willing to sit on the bench , couldnt he have gone for the likes of Giuseppe Favalli, Olof Mellberg, Tal Ben-Haim, Danny Mills, Sami Hyypia, Ryan Nelsen, abdullahi meite?

What AW has done is disrespectful and criminal to AFC, and I fail to see it anyother way.
