Franco Semioli

[asajoseph]

Er, Saviola's a striker - why would that have any effect at all on Semioli?

 

[coleandclichy]

It's sort of wishful thinking to be honest.

Saviola could be deadly at Arsenal, playing the sort of football he loves playing when he plays for Argentina.

This Semioli fellow is 26, hardly known (I know no-one knew Henry, Cesc, but they were promising youths), he is not prolific, he looks slow (and slightly chubby), he's got an evil face, plays in a slower league, and is fairly expensive (for Hleb's bench-boy).

I hope he proves me wrong though, I normally always back a Wenger signing, but something about it seems wrong. Whereas Saviola's transfer is

he looks slow (and slightly chubby)

FALSE

he's got an evil face

TRUE

Unless we have a huge transfer budget to go after Ribery ect I would be very happy with him.

tell me alot more about semioli i've only seen him in highlights on football italia on channel 4

They have stopped showing that havn't they? I remember it used to be in the afternoons in the 90's but when the new millenium came about they stopped showing games from the Italian league, if they put it back on when is it?

 

[Army of Me]

you not got Bravo? they show a lot of italian games there. You also get lots of games and highlights of quite a lot of european leagues on Setanta, but thats an extra £15 a month (muggings here paid for it when I heard we were interested in ribery and adebayor!).

What a load of bullsh*t
"The Gunners are lightweight on the flanks after losing Robert Pires to Villarreal"

Options for Right wing:
Hleb
Ljungberg
Van Persie
Fabregas
Rosicky
Walcott
at a push Lauren or Eboue

Left wing:
Rosicky
Reyes
Smith
Ljungberg
Cole or Clichy if were stuck

 

[luma]

maybe this means that rosicky is either going to play in the middle with fabregas or challenge fabregas for a spot or play as a second striker if we get semioli

I would only class Freddie as a proper winger out of that lot.

Edit : Double post.

 

[9Reyes]

Have never seen this Semioli.
But I have a feeling that he would never make it in Arsenal or Premier League...

Use the money on somethin else..!

 

[monkeyboy]

They've bought him in as a direct replacement for Pires. They need someone in the team with a vertical mustache beard.

True but they are the players who are going to play on he right and left side of midfield

Wouldnt close the thread cos of this source, only world footballers is more unreliable but we have enough cover anyway.

Would be better to go for defensive midfielder, central defender and Buffon.

 

[Jameel46]

do arsenal really need a winger? and for £5.5 mil? i won't be betting my money on this move.

 

[CraigGooner]

well imo i havent seen anything of semioli so not really that fussed if he doesnt come,

 

[GoonerGurjit]

This particular rumour hasn't had much attention, but it seems to be progressing slowly.

 

[junialum]

SkySports confirmed it.

Arsenal likes to sign things the slow and quiet way. :wink:

I don't think I'd like him here either. But we'll see...

 

[AFCFan4Ever]

He'll never come to Arsenal IMO...seems hellbent on staying in Italy and I'm sure he'll have offers. This is a longshot at best.

Agreed .. he has mentioned that his first choice will be Roma .. i assume that he'll stay in Italy ..But who Knows ...
