1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Says he's been released from Villareal and is training with Arsenal and want's a British club.The French expert talking that knows him well says he's more interested in a decent club and an interesting challange rather than money, however, if it wasn't an interesting proposal he would require more money to persuade him to go.It's strange that when his age was mentioned, the French expert, his mate mentioned the great job David Weir is doing with Rangers aged 40. Read into that what you will. Maybe an innocent remark.Thoughts? yes? no? too expensive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,723 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wouldnt be too expensive seen an interview in a magazine not long ago and he said he wants to play as hes made his ££££££££££££ so fuck knows.Id take him, but French players have a poor record here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 True.I'd take him, but would gamble within the wage cap - which he would probably laugh at.I made this thread more for the David Weir reference. I probably read too much into passing comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieAyrshire 244 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I was a big fan of him at arsenal but he would just come for money which tbh we cant afford so a would say no thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radlord 24 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Was an incredible player in his day. One of my favourate players ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocky Broon 207 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 No harm on a pay per play or a contract until the end of the season as we need squad numbers.Dont know if he would accept though but at 35 he is not exactly in a position to be choosy.As for a challenge well.Has he got any Scottish medals and it doesnt come bigger than CL.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I don't actually think wages would be an issue for him in this instance, as for an interesting challenge what could be more interesting than playing in a league you've never played in before?I'm not too sure about his age now, and I was going to say for an attacking midfielder age might be an issue, but hell, Giggs is still going and I wouldn't say no to him playing for us!

Muff 245 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Not sure how fit he is. He's not kicked a ball since the 2-0 win over Valencia back at the start of May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not kicked a ball since the 2-0 win over Valencia back at the start of May.Why can't he play in the CL for Rangers, for example, if he's not played since May?Is it to do with a registered squad rather than cup tied?

Muff 245 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wenger is quoted on SSN as being "very impressed" with his levels of fitness.Speaking to Le Parisien, Wenger believed the Gunners legend - who racked up 189 appearances and two Premier League titles in a six-year spell before he headed to Spain in 2006 - could still do a job in the French top flight.He said: "He is sparkling."He’s happy on the ball and physically he is fine. He can be of service in Ligue 1."Probably the best move for him - Ligue 1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
