Whether this means anything or not I don't know.
I've watched videos in the past of new players being photographed and they're often just shot in front of a white backdrop, or in front of the Arsenal logo somewhere inside the stadium. Not sure if they necessarily have to shut the shop for it.


To be honest, I'd be surprised of they have managed to smuggle a player around London and then in there without someone noticing. May be wrong though.


If you ever saw any of our secret signings on the street; would you recognise them before we'd signed them?

I wouldn't! The ones I would recognise are the ones that we were obviously gonna buy anyway ala Nasri or Arshavin.

Probably just so that he can get on the coach up to Blackburn.


Like PG said with Arsenal 2 and 2 often don't make anything at all. It's all sneaky diversions with this one.

It's just made their website, but no linkage as yet.

Arse.com probably won't publish it for ages yet either.

Now Squidward is confirmed everyone can stop going mental.

Wenger said anything else of note in the press conference?

Made the SS website now:

Arsenal have wrapped up the signing of defender Sebastien Squillaci from Sevilla on a long-term contract.

Sevilla confirmed earlier in the week that an undisclosed offer had been accepted for Squillaci and the France international was heading to Arsenal to undergo a medical.

The 30-year-old has now finalised the move to Emirates Stadium to become Arsene Wenger's third signing of the summer.

Wenger had been looking to improve his defensive options, particularly at centre-back, after losing William Gallas, Mikael Silvestre,Sol Campbell and Philippe Senderos since the end of last season.

Laurent Koscielny has been brought in from Lorient and further depth has been added to the Gunners' back-line with the acquisition of Squillaci.

The former Lyon centre-half will also be eligible for Arsenal's UEFA Champions League campaign after pulling out of Sevilla's play-off tie against Braga.

Real defender

However, Squillaci is unlikely to make his Gunners debut until after the international break as he will not be involved against Blackburn in the Premier League on Saturday.

Wenger confirmed: "We needed a centre-back of quality and experience if possible, and at the right price - he was all of that.

"He is a real defender and is good in the one against one, good in the air, and can score goals on set-pieces as well.

"I believe he will be suited to the English game.

"He will train with us tomorrow morning, but will not be involved on Saturday."

In addition to Koscielny and Squillaci, Gunners boss Wenger has signed Marouane Chamakh this summer and reportedly remains in the market for a new goalkeeper.
