And an undisciplined one to boot.

A slow, ill-disciplined one to boot. REALLY weird move. Could be another 'Park' type signing, unless there's an injury crisis, and we never actually play him.

And by 'most likely', I meant that he's the most likely signing we can make - not that it's him or Monreal or Villa or Pereira.

Monreal would be a nice signing. Pereira would be very underwhelming.

How has Pereira done in Inter? The last time he was at Porto he was awesome.

He is a Mertesacker kind (tall and clumsy), except that he is the record holder for the most red cards in La Liga. Commits into rash dangerous challenges, but generally a very good passer. Weird move considering there are plenty of good cheap CBs out there

Anything yet?

Klaus

asa: It would be a weird signing alright. He's not exactly young either.

Clrnc: He's been a bit on and off. Nagatomo, who's awesome, has been playing on the left a bit which has limited Pereira's playing time. I've only seen him a couple of times but I haven't been impressed with him. Think the general consensus is that he's improving slowly. I didn't watch him during his Porto days though.

Becks says he's playing for free. Salary donated to children in Paris.
Even with cynical thoughts, well done if true.

on the plus side he doesnt like barca any more than we do

We are in for Nacho Monreal it seems.

If we sign Monreal and that Bilbao defender will everybody be happy with our transfer window? I really do think we need reinforcement attacking wise. Not good enough for me if we only sign those 2

Christian Martin ‏@askomartin
Confirmado: Fernando Amorebieta esta viajando con el Atl Bilbao a Valladolid y NO deja el club hasta Junio x lo menos

Great news. We are not signing that Bilbao defender

lorddulaarsenal

that dude an enlarged squillaci?

makes sense

speedy

Just remembered squillaci against anelka, the horror.

Monreal looks like Peter Crouch.

lorddulaarsenal

Monreal please!

speedy

Gibbs must be out for months if were suddenly going for a leftback.

est

Would it surprise you if he was?

From Monreal's Wikipedia page:

Ignacio "Nacho" Monreal Eraso (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈnatʃo monreˈal eˈɾaso]; born 26 February 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Málaga CF as a left defender. He is currently flying to London, to sign for Arsenal, and even on a plane he is more useful than André Santos

Clrnc

Uhoh, Gibbs have some real competition on hand now because Monreal is quality.

Won't be able to play in UCL though, but good signing.

Klaus

Get Diame and Villa too and we'll call it an amazing transfer window.

Last minute panic buy of a defender.
Jeez,shades of the Squillaci and Santos purchases.
I expect a very suspect stop gap stand in for Gibbs as opposed to any kind of quality.

Heard from many directions he is indeed on his way to London. Definitely something in this one.
