Does this stuff really work? IMO players don't really learn like that.

Campbell was an emergency mid season stop gap and Lehman was only 33 I believe (same as Cech when we signed him). And also a GK, which is quite different in how they age.

Actually if you look at dates, Kajumba reported on it before Swiss press.

What about when Jens was 40 odd

Let's not forget Wenger is a massive fan of Carrick, 3 years ago said that he should have been played of the year (I think Bale won it that year) and that he was probably the only English player who wouldn't have looked out of place in Barcelona.

Old and still the best centre mid United have. I'd consider taking him if we lose Flamini Rosicky and Arteta in the summer. We need an older experienced head in the squad.

Oh yeah I forgot about that!

I don't see the problem with this, we could give him a one year contract and benefit from his experience. As long as his wage demands remain reasonable and he's willing to take a reduced role.

First post in a long time!
It could be a great move since we're losing Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky which is a huge amount of experience but if he were to arrive it must be with another central midfielder who can actively make a difference on the pitch, regularly.

We've already got Elneny.
Realistically, I'd be happy with the simple promotion of our most advanced young player, I.e. AMN, Zelalem.
Wenger may be gearing up to reinforce that central midfield, who knows.

Rather get Terry. He has more to offer and in a position that we might require another option in.

Yeah but we'd be short imo if we rely on Elneny. And I think Zelalem should go on a season loan to German,Italian or Spanish top flight team.

I think the issue is you actually have long-term viable options this Summer.

If you ignore those attainable targets to go for a 35 year old Carrick (personally I'd love it if you did). Do you think money-giants in City, United and Chelsea are going to hold back in the market after the disastrous seasons they are having? City in particular will seek to get stronger than ever with Pep. Now's the time to spend after the Summer you had and whatever move is made will reflect where you are as a club. Best case scenario is getting both.

No reason we can't get both.

I'd rather Carrick than Gundogan every day of the week. Whoever buys him is going to be left with the next Diaby, there's a reason that clubs seemed reluctant to go for him last summer trust me.

Terry won't play for another English club, apparently.
Not sure Wenger will bring a 35 year old midfielder to Arsenal either.
Country: Canada
Terry to MLS I figure. Frank wants him at NYFC with him apparently.
Country: England
Have you even seen him this season?
Country: Wales
Yeah but the issue with Gundogan is way more severe, and not worth the outlay imo

The German international suffers from spondylolisthesis, a deformity in his lower back that can lead to hamstring injuries, and he was sidelined for over a year.
