[M+D]

Former Gunners defender Gilles Grimandi - now a scout for the London club - has been impressed by Perrin's performances in Ligue 1 and has reportedly been giving a glowing recommendation to his former boss Arsène Wenger.

I don't much about him, so can anyone give a description of him please. All I know about him is this:

Country: France
Age: 21 years
Date of birth: August 7, 1985
Birthplace: Saint-Etienne
Height: 1m79
Weight: 73 kg
Position: Midfield
Current club: Saint-Etienne

And also that he has recently been out for 8 months with a knee injury...

Where in midfield does he play?

 

[stiiphunn]

I've known him as a central midfielder. Haven't seen him that much this season though.

Low chance of happening me-thinks.

Not exactly what I had in mind when it comes to replacing/upgrading Flamini...

I think that quote from Hill-Wood is him talking about Flamini and not Perrin.

 

[bojed]

An all-rounder?

Can this be merged with this thread?

We were linked to him about a year ago.

I agree.

"We have made him [Flamini] a proposal," Hill-Wood told the Daily Star.

"We have heard from his representatives but they have not given us a response."

“We have made him a proposal,” said Hill-Wood. “We have heard from his representatives but they have not given us a response.”

It's much, much more likely Hill-Wood was talking about Flamini and not this other random player.

Is this Perrin guy as good as Flamini or similar?

 

[number_0]

Even if flamini signs, no harm in bringing this guy in, he could replace berto and diarra.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Wenger pretty much shot this rumour down in his Arsenal tv interview.

Weak link but something new.

 

[DontPushMe]

Was going to post it until I saw who wrote it. Stammers is always shooting in the dark.

Don't think Wenger wants another old versatile squaddy type either, we need prime year starting players.

 

[chessygoal]

French journalists confirming our interest.
He could be a very good squad player.

 

[yybecause]

29 year old defender who made ASSE very stabile club, got tons of praises, loyal and leader, has football IQ, surely doesnt look like a bad idea as 3rd CB at all.

I like his profile, every little thing about it.
I for one see Chambers as central player, not a fullback. Is it a DM or CB, I am not sure yet, but with squad we have, someone like Perrin sounds just about perfect for our defensive puzzle

 

[Toast]

A 29 year old bargain-bucket player from Ligue 1? Do not want. We need a starting quality CB/DM. No more squaddies.
