I wrote this the other week and it looks like it’s been stuck in the Draft folders file, anyway out of date but here’s the post!
Philippe Senderos is undergoing a medical today ready to complete his year long loan deal seeing him join AC Milan. The deal is set to be agreed and signed today.
Wenger says that Senderos is not going to get the games he needs with us this season; “He does not get the games here, and so now he can play somewhere and remain in a top-level club,” said Wenger.
Now that we’ve got Silvestre from united you can see why Senderos has decided this will be a good move, Wenger said; “We have Djourou, we have Kolo, we have Senderos, we have Song, Gallas and Silvestre now who can play centre-back so we have a congestion there.”
“We want him to play without losing him it has not been decided yet whether the transfer will be permanent.”
Personally I think that Senderos isn’t up to scratch when it comes to top, top flight Champions league and Premier League games, he just looks too nervous to me and it’s, unfortunately reflected in the quality of his football during these crucial games.

Arsenal Director Danny Fizsman said that Arsene Wenger could spend £30 million on a player if he chose to do so…
Fizsman said; “If he (Wenger) said ‘I want this guy and he’s £30m, can I buy him?’, the answer is yes. Absolutely yes,”
So I here you all cry; why didn’t Wenger immediately start strenghtening the sqaud as soon as Gilberto, Hleb and Flamini left in the summer transfer window?!
Well, personally and as an Arsenal fan, of course! I think Wenger has and is doing the right thing for Arsenal Football Club. Wenger has told the Independent; “When we decided to build the stadium I wanted to anticipate the possibility of financial restrictions, so I concentrated on youth.”
“I also felt the best way to create an identity with the way we play football, to get players integrated into our culture, with our beliefs, our values, was to get them as young as possible and to develop them together.
“I felt it would be an interesting experiment to see players grow together with these qualities, and with a love for the club.”
So the cynic in my says, is this all a cover up by Arsenal Directors and WEnger has really been told there is no money to spend?? Let me know what you think…I think Wenger is right and certainly not having to cope with the ego of a player costing £30 million isn’t something he’ll miss I’m sure!
