Arsenalgreg...."..i dont know to take this,how can he sign silvestre".....
Because he is the manager and you are not, so you will never understand not even the critics will. It has happened let's get over it and hope He beats ManU for us this season twice.... Hey I am an optimist.

i'm very disappointed..
we need experiance defender, not old crack defender from our rival team...

I am not too sure how you can complain. Most arsenal fans have been blogging non stop about the need to sign an experiance defender. In Silvestre we have got that.

Only time will tell on this one, but at the very least it weakens ManU's squad (however slightly). Arsene should be given the chance to show what he's gonna do with him b4 we jump down his throat. If he plans for Silvestre to partner Gallas and free Toure for the holding midfield role I think that will strengthen the side. Toure's technical ability will shine in that role, and Silvestre is solid enough. He wouldn't have been at ManU for nine ears if not! I can't believe he's been signed as a back-up. Would he have walked out on talks with Man City just to agree a similar role with Arsenal as with ManU? Overall I'm happy. Let's give it until January to pass judgement on le Boss. C'mon Arsenal!
