Lasagna anyone ?

The boss did it again. After saying that nobody will be joining the team with the transfer window dateline closing, we've made a very very VERY late signing.. just a few minutes from time.

Enter Lassana Diarra..

He'll be wearing number 8, after the number was made vacant by ljungberg. This guy is considered a utility guy. he's a defensive midfielder, (n im guessing he could take up the role like makelele at chelsea). at the same time, he can play right back as well, which is a good relief (PHeeww..!) considering our defends are out injured (sagna, gallas, eboue etc.) Finally, a contingency player that not only can be rely upon emergencies, but can deliver as a first team quality player as well.

quick word from him:
“I have great respect for the manager Arsène Wenger and am attracted by the style of football that the team plays. Of course I am excited by what the future holds and keen to play my part in helping Arsenal fight for trophies this season and for years to come.”

and from AW:
“Lassana is a multi-functional player, making him a great addition to our squad. Not only is he hard working, he has a creative edge and is comfortable playing in the middle of the pitch or at right back.”

welcome aboard mate...

now a gunner

takpe takpe.. yg penting bila game ke 38 nanti, kita dah kat top of the table. so far aku nampak saingan sengit kita liverpool jer. heh..

lasagna ni bole pakai kalau ramai back yg injured. midfield pun ok. dia ni cam makelele, dan boleh main defend jugak. so, bagus la kot..
