We should have beaten them by then.

Competition????Tegh said:I'd love him at Arsenal.
He could give our current players competition for a starting place.
No insult intended to our current players and I do believe in everyone competing every day. But I believe that Gallas is a different class than all of our defenders bar Cole and Toure. I just don't see Phil approaching his excellence for a few years. If Phil does improve that much and that quickly, we will have the best CD partnership in the world.Tegh said:Yes, competition.
I am fully aware of how talented he is, but Senderos has been exceptional in recent weeks, and Gallas would have to earn his spot, he cant just walk into the first team. It would be great to see Gallas's ability rub off onto Senderos and Djourou alike.
flaunt said:The only reason we'd go after another Central Defender is if we sell Sol Campbell or another of our defenders. And if we sold one, maybe not even then.
Remember, we still have Justin Hoyte to return - and I sure hope that Wenger doesn't decide to sell him because he seems to be able to play right across the back four. In truth we might have a big logjam of players in defense.
Right Back.
Lauren & Eboue, plus Hoyte
Left Back.
Cole & Clichy, plus Flamini & Hoyte
Centre Backs
Toure, Senderos, Campbell, Djourou, plus Hoyte
We have developed 10 talented defenders for 4 slots. Gallas is talented, but does he have the Arsenal spirit? Previous comments about us in the past prove he hasn't. Griping about his playing position shows he might be Kieron Dyer in disguise. (Or was it Jenas? I forget.)

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea defender William Gallas, according to the player's agent. The France international has been growing increasingly frustrated at having to play in a host of different roles at Stamford Bridge, and has already been linked with a move to Italy.
