Guest secteur2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 PANIC Joking aside, good move. Bet the missus isnt too happy, seems like a short honeymoon He's queer anyway so he's looking for some cock now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 He'll bring something to our squad that we are really lacking - black power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 For the most part we'll be holding a deep defensive line, his lack of pace shouldn't be much of an issue. Ideally you'd want a nippy centre half alongside him to cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Good signing will add valuable experience and can read the game very well...a bit like the signing of steve bould by the mackems all those years ago.....and if anyone thinks that williamson is better than big sol they seriously need their head read....if arsene wenger thought he was good enough last season then hes good enough for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Antigalican Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm split on this one, but we needed someone with Taylor crocked. Agreed, can't see how we could have done much better in the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm split on this one, but we needed someone with Taylor crocked. Agreed, can't see how we could have done much better in the circumstances. Same here, if we actually have anything to spend on a striker this is probably as good a deal as we can get and we do need the cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hold on a second... three signings before August? Fuck off. 'He'll never come here, stepping stone, no ambition, too good for us, not good enough, rather be playing CL football, we need hungry players, fat bastard, probably a bummer, very good signing, far too old and will command big wages.'

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 might as well join the love-in, good news! just need a midfielder or two that can run with their legs on loan and 20m on a new striker and the seasons sorted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 How can people not be happy? Arsene wanted him back this season so he's obviously still good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Arse fans wanted him to stay on. Christ if a top 4 team's fans thing he's worthy of their team, then fucking hell, I can't see why it isn't good business. He'll help the likes of Colo/Williamson even more.

SEMTEX Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm happy about this despite not expecting that to be the case. As long as there are no ridiculous wages, and the contract isn't 6 years long, I'm pleased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest secteur2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Here's one for you. Bramble or Campbell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'd be worried about him playing week in week out and I have concerns over his current level of fitness, since he's basically had no pre-season whatsoever and is definitely the wrong side of 30... I'd love him to be involved with the first team and move on to a coaching role though. He's forgotten more about defending than our lot know combined.

huss9 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 arsenal fans would have happily had him another season at least and that speaks volumes. just need to get his match fitness sorted. also, will he be new club captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The things that worry me about Old Sol are: He will be partnered with Colo which will probably be the slowest CH pairing in the prem He will have far more defending to do than he had at Arsenal He has done no pre-season Xisco could take his eye off the ball!

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Happy with this. Good centre back, will bring bags of experience to the younger players. Downside, not exactly the quickest anymore but will do a job until Taylor is fit again and then be quite dependable for the rest of season. Just hope his wages are sensible. Well actually, he's pretty quick. According to some article posted here about a week ago, he's the third or fourth fastest in the league last season, based on top speed. Still, that's pretty debatable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The only concern I have is with wages. We all know we're too tight to offer anything stupid, so I'm happy enough with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
