Arsène hoping to announce a double signing on Friday :wink:

[Y va marquer]

A done deal then Axl?

 

[Bossa]

We tend to announce signings three days after the player has signed. I reckon it will be tomorrow or friday.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

i was hope this deal going fast but looks like its take alot

 

[kamikaze80]

so we have vermaelen and three average CBs. it's like death by a thousand cuts, you don't even notice the quality slipping all over the pitch.

I'm pretty sure you haven't seen enough of Koscielny or Squillaci to judge them 'average' just yet.

 

[number_0]

I would settle for average now, its a step up from mediocrity atleast.

how many caps does squillaci have? he's 30. he's got teams like monaco and sevilla on his cv, so he's obviously pretty good, but he's not amazing. koscielny might be a late bloomer but he's definitely skinny and not that tall.

i just don't get how so many of you keep deluding yourselves. open your eyes and see reality.

Well so far in his only competitive game for us Koscielny was probably the MotM. I'm pretty sure I opened my eyes to see this and I'm pretty sure it's reality.

Which is more than what can be said for the way you formed your opinion.

And who was managing France during the majority of his peak years? You're better than that, Kami.

Regarding your second point, I haven't seen enough of Squillachi to make an opinion one way or the other, but i've got faith in Wenger on transfers(when he makes them). Aside from the odd nightmare or two, Wenger's experienced buys over the past few seasons have been more or less solid. So what if this guy isn't Sol Campbell in his peak? We haven't seen much of Koscielny, but from what we've seen so far he's looked damn good. This guy may not be a world beater, but I can't think of too many third choice CBs who are.

 

[Kraig]

I love how the transfer window makes everyone really edgy and aggressive.

Where the hell is this guy! It's taking bloody ages to get this one nailed down! Need him for Blackburn as I think kid will struggle against the rough and tumble sides. Too skinny for someone like samba!

So Squillaci on Sunday? When is the transfer market going to end? 2nd September? That leaves Arsène with 4 days to chase a goalkeeper. :bounce

 

[Armor for Sleep]

how many caps does squillaci have?

More than Alex at Chelsea.

 

[otfgoon]

He also has a similar amount of caps as Steve Bould, Dixon and Winterburn combined.

funny, I was going to say the same thing about you.

they were rubbish though and did nothing for arsenal in their careers. especially dixon and winterburn!

The irony of you asking people to see reality without watching either of them play regularly is fabulous.

Give them a chance instead basing your argument on second hand information. Part of the reason why Squillaci wasn't capped as regularly as we'd like is because he had Thuram in front of him who, after WC 2006, was also made captain till his retirement in 2008 and you can hardly point to France's success as justification to not feature Squillaci?
