It is evidently clear that both Gallas and Silvestre has short term futures at Arsenal and I can't see either being here for more than 2 more years, at the most.<BR/><BR/>Djourou wasn't picked for the Fenerbache game because of recent injury. But Song doesn't appear to be that great as a centre back but again he is only young too. Song and Djourou are definately for the future after Gallas and Silvestre leave, Toure will be the experienced head partnering either of these two.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Wrighty7 in that I too was bemused as to why Toure regained his spot when Gallas and Djourou formed what I think has been our best partnership this season. Also it bugs me to see Wenger play Song in defence when he is a terrier in midfield and much better suited than Denilson who is too soft for that position.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow now that Djourou is fit and ready to play it should be interesting to see who Wenger chooses to partner Silvestre for Saturday. If he chooses Song then I will be pissed off to say the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-48959047509093380012008-10-23T20:19:00.000+01:002008-10-23T20:19:00.000+01:00Totally agree with you wrighty, pal.I hope wenger ...Totally agree with you wrighty, pal.<BR/><BR/>I hope wenger isnt going to become stubborn over song, just to prove a point.<BR/><BR/>His performances against everton and fener left alot to be desired.<BR/><BR/>JD did well at the start of the season and deserves to play against west ham. <BR/><BR/>If song isnt dropped wenger will have questions to answer.<BR/><BR/>Ole gunner doesnt grasp the concept of football, he's more interested in stats. <BR/><BR/>Jd had concussion, and that was over a week ago. You dont lose fitness with concussion after a week. it not like he had a torn hamstring and has been out for a year. He came off the bench at fener, he was fit enough to start.<BR/><BR/>The lad was unlucky to be dropped as soon as toure was back, i dont think he should have been dropped, toure wasnt fully fit and JD did well, wengers decision to play toure instead after no pre season has backfired.<BR/><BR/>It has been identified that we lack a big man at the back. JD is our biggest defender and i believe a partnership with someone like gallas will help develop JD as a player and help gallas regain the form we know he his capable for. You dont win everything he has won for being a shit defender. JD could be our defender we have been missing and wenger needs to give him a go, or we'll never know.<BR/><BR/>All the other defenders have been found wanting, please Arsene, listen to the fans on this one.

However, I dont believe that he'll be disappointed of dis- heartened after being left out recently in favour of Song as he had suffered a bad blow to the head during in the international break.

I love Toure but his form since the last ACN has been shocking and if it were he that had joined us from Chavski, he would have been hammered from all angles this season.<BR/><BR/>I have no doubts about his ability but it does seem that he's living off peoples affection for him based on past glories.

This season, Senderos has practically been sold to AC Milan, leaving Djourou and Song. Djourou is just recovering from injury and AW would not have wanted to risk him as a starter in turkey when he's not had even a game after recovery. let's relax and allow the team find it's rhythm.
