Phillippe Mexes

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/01/15/arsenal-turn-to-4-5m-serie-a-bargain-buy-to-resolve-centre-back-crisis/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/01/15 ... ck-crisis/</a>

Not the greatest link, I know. But this sorta makes sense since it's a cheap buy, he's not CL tied, he's got loads of experience, albeit none in the PL. Plus I hear he's pretty good!

Really wouldn't mind if this happened. It'll be an upgrade on Samba or Campbell or even Mertesacker.

Re: Phillippe Mexes

Don't think we should get someone who gets sent off almost as often as Koscielny. Imagine both of them together.

Gotta say, there's a good chance of this happening though. French, cheap and experienced. Like Squid :lol:

Re: Phillippe Mexes

Mexes will be a very very good buy.
He was easily one of the best if not the best CB a few seasons ago and looked a player reborn with Raneiri last season so if we can buy him as a backup then I say go for it

I'm a Mexes fan so a bit biased :eek:ops:

...Arsenal may appeal to the former Auxerre man not least because decidedly average performances from the likes of Laurent Koscielny and Johann Djourou, and to a lesser extent Sebastian Squillaci...

Really? So according to that article Squillaci has been our best CB? Pretty much already discredited this as complete arsefudge due to that seeing as they clearly know nothing about our club or our team.

Yup. Djourou has been immense as well.

Re: Phillippe Mexes

For some reason, I find myself always doubting caught offside rumours. I never give them any credence. It sounds like matching a player wanting to leave/who is available and being french to our need for a CB.

Re: Phillippe Mexes

i wonder if any of you who are discounting Mexes have actually watched him much the last couple seasons.. he's been pretty decent at Roma.. and he's only had 4 red cards in the last 5 years.. Kos has had 2 this season alone

i've mentioned his name before, but i dont believe a Caughtoffsides rumour

He was one of the more highly fancied CB sweepers a few seasons back & is still younger than both Squid & Hangeland.

Re: Phillippe Mexes

he reminds me of Flamini in one aspect
he needs the right manager to get the best out of him
