Marcos Senna

[EMIR8_SOLDIER]

>>>>>>>Next<<<<<<<

 

[Jaded]

Has been the best DM in La Liga for ages now, but his age definitely ruled out this signing.

 

[Smudeagle]

Heh, heh heh. I was watching the semi last night thinking how Senna slightly reminds me of Gilberto sometimes and thought to myself: 'How long till someone links us to him...'

I love international summers... People seem to decide that the best players in the world are anyone that get to the quarters. The amount of folk besotted with Arse-Shavin' and Pavluychenko is unbelievable. You'd think they were consistantly playing out of their skin for years. How many of us had heard of Pav and to a lesser degree Arse-Shavin' this time last year?

The papers meanwhile link us to any player reaching the latter stages: Arse-Shavin', Pavluychenko, Silva, Villa, Podolski, Schweinsteiger... The list goes on.

What a fickle bunch we are...

 

[Dez]

Ok a) its goal.com these guys are beggining to make tribal football look downright reliable and b) even they don't think there's much of a chance.

 

[stuart]

And there we have it. Surprised this didnt come up after his first good game :roll:

 

[number_0]

Can he play as a winger?

 

[Smudeagle]

Can he play as a winger?

Err, no. You mucking about? I'm a bit crap at spotting e-sarcasm...

 

[AnthonyG]

Can he play as a winger?

For us? Yeah; we've had worse recently.

But, still, no.

 

[Kain]

Can he play as a winger?

DM only by the looks of it he reads the game exceptionaly well like the Makelele of a few seasons ago, his age is obviously a big downer and basically means it will never happen.

Very good player for the Euro's so far though, possible player of the tourny candidate.

 

[HollandGooner]

If he would have been a younger player we would have sign him, he is a great player so far read the game very good. reminds me of a Gilberto in hot form.

 

[number_0]

Can he play as a winger?

Err, no. You mucking about? I'm a bit crap at spotting e-sarcasm...

hehe sorry, that was meant as a joke, but i won be suprised if he did for us.

 

[Kenyonhater]

He's had an excellent tournament. Probably Spain's most important player. I think he'd be a brilliant signing for us. He'd add steel and experience for a couple of seasons while the likes of Diaby, Denilson and Ramsey develop. He doesn't seem to be on the wane like Gilberto and he has more natural drive and energy than him anyway. Likes a shot, too.

It would be unlike AW to sign a player of his age but he did mention us lacking experience and if he signs a 24 year old (much as I would love us to get Inler) it would block the path of the younger players coming through in whom AW has so much faith. Probably won't happen but I'd be very happy if we got him. He would add great balance to our squad.

He's made no appearances for Werder yet?

Think you might be looking for this thread mate.

Senna has had an outstanding tournament, one of Spain's best players for sure. He reminds me very much of Gilberto, but he can actually pass, and very well also. Not scared to have a long-range shot either, I'd love him here to be honest. Just can not see it happening with Bert in the way, but we'll see.

has nothing to do with "Bert being in the way".. the guy is 32.. that itself is enough reason that we will not sign him.. ever...

(only players we sign that are 32+ are keepers)

 

[Gazza Martinez]

Good player imo. He'd be a good signing for one of the big Italian clubs.

 

[gunnertilldeath]

I've been in love with Senna for the past 3 years. Love the guy. And we were linked with him a couple of summers ago. That said, this doesnt seem like a credible story at all. He's not a wenger signing and Gilberto Silva is still at the club. Despite Bert's demotion last term, he and Arsène enjoy a wonderful relationship. Thats no secret. Wenger is not one for collecting old players who perform similar roles. You could argue that Senna could be the perfect bridge between Flamini and a younger combative midfielder who could serve as the long-term partner to Cesc in the middle of the park but I dont see it at all. Lovely player. Could do a job for a couple more years but I dont see it.

:shock:

 

[kamikaze80]

if senna came in, gilberto would have to go and i dont think wenger wants to change the leadership of the club. not to mention at 32 years of age, it would make no financial sense to pay a transfer fee for him. hes got precisely the qualities we'd need at CM though.

Cygan's saying that we want Senna:
