Nightmare for United. Silvestre is a brilliant player - calm, composed, makes great use fo the ball, bags of pace. I'd have had him in ahead of Vidic!

Is Arsene signing Silvestre only because he needs a second left back. Glichy is a capable player for Arsenal plus Amand Traore is coming up as a capable player as well.
