Read this article which says - you are about to sign a defender atlast. http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/arsenal-set-for-long-awaited-defender-signing---re However the defender is not Samba or Cahill or Dann. Little known Bruno Ecele Manga - replacement of Koscielny - now joining him at Arsenal?! What are your thoughts.. This could be a better signing than Cahill or Samba - No way could be another Squillaci. thoughts?
plays at the same club koscielny did doesn't he? and kos turned out to be pretty good, so this could be a very shrewd signing by wenger. of course, the media and stupid fans will slate it if he doesn't perform immediately, but i guess he's only going to be back-up so thats ok
He'll need some time to settle. I'm willing to give the guy a chance, if this rumour is true. At least it's not the vastly overrated Cahill.
Never heard of him either and as you say, he could be an inspired purchase. What are everyone's thoughts on Mertesacker whose name has turned up on the rumour mill?
