Santos targets trophies

Santos targets trophies

Postby Trina » Thu Sep 01, 2011 7:21 pm

Andre Santos arrives at Arsenal with one burning ambition - to help the club end their long wait for a major trophy.

The Brazilian full-back was drafted in by the Gunners on transfer deadline day, in a deal believed to be worth around £6million.

He was snapped up from Turkish outfit Fenerbahce, with Arsene Wenger seeking to address the defensive problems that have plagued the Gunners for some time now.

Santos is confident he can live up to expectations, with it his intention to quickly endear himself to the Emirates faithful.

He also hopes his performances on the pitch will help to lead Arsenal forward, with it his ultimate goal to play a leading role in the landing of long overdue silverware.
Champion

"There are great expectations from the supporters and I hope that my way of working, of playing, will win the hearts and minds of the other players, the supporters and all those who work for Arsenal," Santos told Arsenal Player.

"This is my main goal at the club - I managed to win over the supporters at Fenerbahce and I hope the same will happen here."

He added: "I arrive here with one aim - being a champion.

"I will wear Arsenal's shirt and give my utmost to it. I will do everything for the club."

Watched his first interview on 'Player' today.
He says all the right things, sounds like a good guy.
For example "I love the history of this club and I'm so proud to wear this shirt." "I'm an easy-going guy so I'll do whatever the manager tells me." and "I used to play on the left wing in front of Roberto Carlos. Before he left he taught me everything I need to know about how to be a LB." "The number one priority is to defend."

This guy averaged 1 goal every 5 games for fenerbahce and 1 every 4 for Corinthians, that's pretty high for a full back...

Arteta speaks Spanish which is very similar to Portuguese, so does Miquel and im assuming Squilacci knows some playing for Sevilla.

they may seem similar, but a person who only knows Portugese can't understand someone speaking Spanish
it's like comparing Japanese to Korean really

lol yeah he could speak Turkish enough to understand it and have some conversation. I read somewhere he'd find the move to Galatasary easy due to this.
