a strange buy for Wenger i must say

 

[Gregor]

meh, hes French, so its almost a normal Wenger buy

I liked Silvestre. I thought he played well last season when he was called upon.

Really don't know why Wenger has bought him tbh. They don't even need a backup defender, they've got Gallas, Toure, Senderos, Djourou, Clichy, Traore, Sagna, Eboue, and lots of promising youngsters that should be brought through. Weird decision signing him :S

 

[Sean]

Experience I guess. He's proved he can handle the Prem so will be a decent signing I think.
