Any word to welcome the new boy ? Anyone knows anything good or bad to say about him ? Come on boys ...

[Niall_Quinn]

Haven't seen him play and don't know anything about him but in my opinion he's a superb defender.

The Brazilian Koscielny .

The non-shit David Luiz .

The uncapped Thiago Silva .

Will we secure a work permit?

Very little hope of that but it doesn't really matter because he definitely doesn't have a broken back.

work permit will not be a big problem as he should satisfy one of the 3 following conditions :
1)Having played 75% of games with his national team : he has nil game .
2) Having cost around or more than 10m . He definitely got this one .
3) Being a special talent . Not sure but Wenger might convince them.

He has 75 % of chances to secure a work permit .

Don't think #2 applies until March.

Don't think #2 applies until March.

Agree with you there, but at least we are doing this relatively early, so we still have fall back time.
