6.5/10...

He gives a lot of assists,great link up play,good dribbler,deadly left foot,but is really inconsistent defensively,he bossed Robben,but then got destroyed by Schewineienienienetiger for example.

I think hell fit for you guys though.

So, is what we saw in la Copa America pretty much his top level? Decent player, nothing special?

At least Szccasdany gets more cover.

Well,lets wait to see how he does for you guys,I might keep saying hes an average FB but then 1 month later he becomes a beast.

Not sure if we can sign a better left back at this point. We definitely missed a trick on not going for Jose Enrique. Can't think of many other players, other than Baines, maybe.

I'm not bothered so long as he can do a decent job while Gibbs gets over his injury problems.

Not thrilled .

But hey , beggars cant be choosers. So if he does come, lets hope he does well

by AnJl Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:25 pm

More than world class players , we need players who can get the job done tidily and not buckle under pressure.

If Santos can provide that, I have no worries

by Grande_Milano Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:32 pm

Good move. Always rated that guy for his Brazil displays.

by Jay29 Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:38 pm

@YoungGuns: André Santos to Arsenal all over the Turkish media now, reporting €7m fee, and he's due in London tomorrow for medical.

We could have two signings done tomorrow. Guess Sunday's result has kicked us into gear.

Prob' get a 2 year deal in that case. lol

by Jay29 Mon Aug 29, 2011 11:37 pm

Reportedly, he's getting a four year deal.

by EarlyPrototype Mon Aug 29, 2011 11:45 pm

You let Clichy go, pass up the oppurtunity to sign Enrique and with Sissokho still up for grabs you sign Santos. Honestly not hating, but Arsenal gonna need to step their game up.

by Lex Mon Aug 29, 2011 11:53 pm

Why?

Oh that's right, i forgot, anyone that Arsenal sign is crap

Rolling Eyes

how silly of me to forget that basic formula

by EarlyPrototype Mon Aug 29, 2011 11:55 pm

Santos aint crap, but you know what I mean.

Why sign Andre Santos when you can sign Drenthe? Very Happy

We are happy NOT to see Traore at old trafford again so like Gil said... almost perfect signing considering our situation.

Santos > Traore no doubt, but I would like'd to have seen Arsenal sign Sissokho I mean he is a great left back better and younger than Santos and most importantly he is French. Very Happy

by Highburied Tue Aug 30, 2011 12:11 am

Cissokho is probably one of the best LB defensively but he is too conservative for Arsenal plus every attacking team has two different full backs. One who goes forward (santos) and one who holds back (sagna).

So I hope you understand what you wanted to suggest.

by EarlyPrototype Tue Aug 30, 2011 12:14 am

lol Sissokho can go forward. When we played Lyon I crapped myself when he was charging forward like a Bull on steroids. Sissokho over Santos anyday.

by Lex Tue Aug 30, 2011 12:15 am

What would Sissokho be asking for in terms of wages, i wonder

What's he currently on now?

I dont know but if we ( NUFC) have spent the last week trying to sign him i doubt he's on anything major as we dont really pay high wages anymore.
