Now weve sold traore I highly doubt that we would take a risk buying a player for that position if he couldnt get a work permit.Originally Posted by pascal cygan dad
Oh. I thought the rule was that over 25's have to have at least 20 senior caps regardless of competition. The rules for younger players are weirdly complex but at 28 he would qualify i think.
Too right, this guy is sh*t, no wonder Wenger is after him for the defence he's never had a clue defensively.Mertesacker eh? Zimm is going to go mental.
Some of the other links are interesting at least.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...medium=twitterPark Chu-young's agent has shed light on why the striker decided to go to Arsenal when he appeared set for a move to Lille, describing the opportunity to join the Gunners as too good to turn down.
The South Korea international had been given permission to leave Monaco this summer following their relegation from Ligue 1, and French champions Lille were close to finalising a deal.
However, it emerged over the weekend that Arsenal were set to sign Park, much to the frustration of Lille.
A transfer to the Emirates Stadium has still not been officially announced, but it is expected to go through before Wednesday night's deadline.
The 26-year-old's representative, Maurizio Morana, has now revealed exactly what happened to change his client's mind.
Military duty
Morana has also spoken about Park's excitement at the prospect of joining such a club at this stage of his career as he must return home for two years' national service before the age of 30.
"We could not imagine what happened. On Friday, Arsenal contacted Monaco to know if an agreement had been found with Lille about a transfer," Morana told France Football.
"As it was not the case, Arsenal started to negotiate, then asked to contact the player.
"Could you imagine how a player from Monaco could refuse such a club?
"As he should come back to his native Korea later in 2013 for military duties, this could be his last contract in Europe.
"When Arsene Wenger directly calls a player and asks him to join Arsenal, it is difficult to refuse."
Morana also rejected suggestions that Park's conduct demonstrated a lack of respect to Lille.
"We are sorry for the Lille officials who acted in a very professional way, but I can't agree when I hear Park has no sense of morals," the agent stated.
"There is no link with moral sense or honour, it is only football."
The King Is Back.
Seems the rumour mill has gone into overdrive. Since yesterday evening I have heard us linked with Mertesaker, Santos, Alex, Benayoun, Malouda as well as the players we've been linked with for a while (Cahill, Samba, M'Vila, Park).
Really does beg the question why the fuck has Wenger waited so long, it makes no sense whatsoever.
we had to observe the waiting period
