    You guys are idiots.

    This is a guy who was considered one of the very best in his position.

    Premier league experience and he would absolutely improve our squad.

    If he's over his injury issues could be a brilliant signing.

    Surely the only reason Chelsea would loan to us is if his legs have gone? Hope this isn't another Sylvestre

    Key word being was mate! He hasn't got it anymore but I'd be pissed off if we loaned him to you seeing as though you finished above us.

    One thing Wenger is good at is getting players to realise their potential.


    If we could keep him fit( might be a big if) then I think he may get the best out of him again.

    I think a loan deal could be perfect, less risk also.

    This is a true story!

    My boss used to work with a Ghanaian guy who was around 42 years old.
    He is adamant he went to school with Michael Essien and they were in the same year, he says there is no way Essien is a day under 40!
    Wouldnt be the first time an African player has lied about his age.

    My point exactly, we made this mistake last season and Benyoun made a massive difference at Norwich.

    He should take a lesson from Mr Terry and Mr Cole and lie about his fidelity instead. Wouldn't be the first time.<ok>

    Shwan - what on earth is your reply here? Drogs has already said you finished above them last season, so wtf is the whistle for. And "he he who will loan a rival" means....?

    Said no before, but we are desperate and therefore we could use him now. Sad state of affairs, but there you go.

    I'd take him on a season loan <ok>

    But it would be a bit of a damp squib to the end of the transfer window, I was hoping we'd sign a DM at least and possibly a RB
