Willy Sagnol

[Sammer]

Sagnol won't happen. From what iv heard, hes a bit of an anelka type, which Wenger won't want again.

Where did you hear this? That really is a joke. The guy is a pure professional with a great attitude. Please give exact quotes, since "what I have heard" isn´t exactly a reliable source.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Sagnol would be a good signing. I think there is a decent chance of it happening but I don't think Lauren's going anywhere!

sagnol instead of trabelsi?

http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Sto ... 52,00.html

can we pull that off?

The champions approached Bayern with a view to a transfer prior to Euro 2004, but were stung by the £6m fee quoted by the Bundesliga side.

6M+? what do you guys think?

sagnol is an ageing left back

cant see the logic in paying anything for him.

Willy Sagnol is a right back and not a left back. I think you confused yourself with Bixente Lizarazu .

Secondly he is 27 yrs old same as trabelsi but i would take Trabelsi over Sagnol simply because Trabelsi is superior in all aspects.

Oh yeah, that sounds right, probably mixed them up 'cos I always used to buy both of them in champman3 and put them both at left back 'cos sagnol can play both sides.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Interesting. Sagnol is a class full-back.

 

[KingReyes]

Sagnol would be a good choice if Trabelsi doesn't join. He's a classy fullback with plenty of European experience.

 

[n_henry]

I'd prefer Trabelsi, but he seems to have a bit of an attitude problem..

Sagnol would be good too. 6 mil?..

 

[calvinngai88]

6million might put off Wenger.

 

[Jose_Reyes_2005]

IMO 6 million is way too much for Sagnol considering unlike trabelsi, he will not go straight ahead of ralph in the pecking order.

 

[nnaife]

Sagnol is so slow and unenterprising on the counter attack. I'd try broker a deal with trabelsi instead.

 

[malagar]

sagnol would be way better then Trabelsi and he has way better attitude go for him Wenger

 

[Arnie]

I don't rate him. can't get a decent place in the french squad because Gallas is always there.

 

[calvinngai88]

but Gallas don't excel at RB. when sagnol came in, france looks more lively there with some of his crosses and quality passes.

 

[brianfrance]

Sagnol is quality. Would be a good choice by Arsène if Trabelsi doesn't join. But I still prefer Mendy. Young and soooo talented frustation.....

 

[Adam]

Mendy would be my second choice too, behind Trabelsi. This Fathy may really surprise us though.

 

[Sigun]

brianfrance, who would be the better buy? Trabelsi or Sagnol

 

[CMS]

i doubt bayern munich would sell their best and actually ONLY true RB.

i think 10 mill. quid would bayern munich want at least, to let their defense star leave them.....

arsenal should get Philippe Mexes, that s some real great defender talent.....

 

[nnaife]

Not Sagnol he really does lacks pace, doesnt adqeuately support the right midfielder and does occasionally get beaten by a younger faster player.


There really does appear to be a shortage of quality experienced right backs in Europe, we desperately need another experienced defensive player but who also must be dynamic offensively.

I agree Mendy is a great young prospect but wenger is already gambling with so many youngsters.

I do have the feeling he is looking for someone experienced enough to solidify that rightback spot for this season's CL, and also possibly be comfortable playing central defence too.
