I'm still wondering what Wenger will do with the midfield. Is Deni the answer...will Song step into the role...will Kolo be pushed up?

Guess we'll see how things shake out when we're 100% healthy.

I'm just so surprised, not sure what's gonna happen though

bit of both i think, silvestre is a surprise cos even though there have been rumours it's still out of a blue and it's an extremely rare thing to happen, a manc to Arsenal. Defender, yeh i didn't think we'd get one

perhape like what arshavin agent had commented on wenger.. he is indeed a cunning fox.. said something and does the other, at the beginning of the transfer season he said he wouldn't get a defender but well now we got silvestre. perhape no one was expecting that to happen apart from him.

but it's ok to be a cunning fox.. i like it this way.. wooo

anyway i don't think he is going to partner gallas and toure being push up. what wenger say was he would give us extra depth with his versatility and experience. so i think that means a good backup rather than a starter.

but well if he does parthner gallas. we have a all french back four

Ms TC · **Posted:** Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:32 pm

The British press would love that! but yeh I see Silvestre as a back up

enjibenji · **Joined:** Wed Feb 06, 2008 1:22 am **Posts:** 1043

so is he going in beside gallas, or is he just for back up ?

what do people reckon ?

ArsenalOnSkis · **Posted:** Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:39 pm

Probably backup, at least to start with. I can't see Wenger pushing Kolo up to a CDM...at least not immediately.

'. Having spent most of last season on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury, Silvestre has lost the pace, strength and solidity that made him such an important player for Fergie's men in days gone by.'

lets hope we're not getting another 'sicknote'

the bean head is a good sigining if he stay fit, but i will never trust him after being a manc.

i for one think this would be a good move.. we need extra body in our squad with experiences and he is coming cheap.. he might not be able to displace clichy at LB or toure in CB but he is sure a good backup for both position i feel.. the only worries i had is wenger is turning the whole arsenal squad into a french squad.. =)

lol. as long as its not English players, i am satisfied
