Comments on: Transfer Rumors (23 August 08): Real give green light to Robinho’s Chelsea move, Arsenal’s Senderos close to Milan move?, and more http://soccerlens.com/transfer-rumors-230808/10408/ Football News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:36:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Ryan (Arsenal Fan) http://soccerlens.com/transfer-rumors-230808/10408/#comment-100028 Ryan (Arsenal Fan) Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:15:09 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/?p=10408#comment-100028 Somehow, I thought the signing of Silvestre was to provide a mentor...but then we decided to loan out all of our young defenders and it looks like now Senderos is on the way out as well (thank god, he didn't live up to any of his potential in the past two years). Giving Arsenal just more cash to buy Barry or Inler or someone else. As for the other players you mention...Frings is not coming to Arsenal. He is 34 (or something like that) and that might be a little too old for Wenger. Gattuso has been linked with a move to Arsenal last year as well, but again...nothing will come of it since Milan are looking to rebuild a team, not sell it away. Alonso looks like a very reasonable option, and his asking price is a few mill under that of Barry's. In the end I think we need two more midfielders to create a solid line up. Who knows the deal with Rosicky, and after the preformance again Fulham...Arsenal might want to switch things up a bit. Imagine signing both Alonso and Barry!

He will also be a good mentor for the younger players. We got Silvestre for back up for Clichy, remember that Armand Traore has gone to Pompey on loan.
