Clearly noone else was willing to pay his wage demands and Arsenal did not want a player who did not want to play for them though.

Quite, however, jus like the Owen deal... sometimes you have to take what you can get :S

We have lacked a solid defender for a while imo. Senderos can be a bit dodgy sometimes, Cygan was just plain crap, even Campbell towards the end of his stint with us looked suspect.
Gallas will make a huge difference I think

I don't know!
IMO the last games Bridge has played he's been awesome!
Shame for him. He needs a move from there.

I don't rate Flamini to be honest 
---------------------Lehmann---------------------
Eboue------Gallas-------Toure---------Clichy
Or something like that

Just about 17 isn't he, or maybe 16 can't remember? left back for Southampton, already played for Wales. Looks excellent and has scored two top bollock free kicks this season. One to watch.

exactly that was some defence 
I think Eboue is the weak link there, we need a creative right back.

I'm looking forward to seeing Baptista play. To be honest I haven't really watched Rosiky as of yet.
Gallas will be quality

Not happy about this deal at all really.
Arsenal valued Cole at £25m, Chelski offered £19m?
Arsenal valued Gallas at £5m.
So in theory Arsenal have lost £9m along the way and valued Gallas at £14m? Fat chance.
Although im glad Cole has gone, thinks hes top boy, i want to smack the cunt

cole came as a school boy so not losiung any money at all really they were just silly valuations
he didnt want to play for arsenal so why keep him?
gallas is a very good defender and as good signing simple as really
