There are better CB's on the market at the price range we would have to pay to get him. Above all that though - he is a ******.

I don't think we do. The defence has been generally strong over the last two year, the opening months of this season aside.
We don't need him? That's like saying we don't 'need' to improve the team. That what we have has reached such a pinnacle of excellence that it can not possibly be surpassed.
No, we don't need better players. But you can be damn sure that IF we had Rio Ferdinand in the squad, we'd be a better team because of it. He's a world class player that WOULD make an improvement on the Arsenal team. Plain and simple.
well, thats a relief, thank god for that!!!LOL....that's some serious passion vavagoon!!....if it helps the therapy at all, i dont think he's in any hurry to come to Arsenal!
wrong.asajoseph said:Two different questions. I'm sick of people naming world class players and then stating incredibly naively that we 'don't need them' because we've got some unproven talent. For example, I was told by some gooner the other day that we don't need van Bommel because we have Flamini. There seems to be some kind of assumption that every player in the Arsenal youth and reserve set up will one day make the team, and be better than every single other player in that position in the world. That simply isn't the case.
and i doubt anyone would disagree with you based on this PURELY.I was responding, I believe, to a point made regarding footballing talent alone. If it were down to that, I'd take Ferdinand in an instant, and he'd be straight into the first team.
