Met his release clause of 20 million eurobucks apparently. Sounds very un-Arsenal-like.
I know nothing about him except that he looks decent in a skills compilation video on youtube; and having great skills is, after all, what we all want in a central defender. He does look quite Neanderthalish, though, which is more like it imo.
*This may be an oxymoron
**What an odd expression
and has no EU passport ergo he will not get a work permit
Has the euro really got that bad :bankrupt:

We'll get Dunga to have a word imo.
what a surprise.
Hard to make a case for exceptional talent if we are only willing to stump up 6 million though
are not "outstanding" talent.. in fact, I would be shocked if they are better than some of the English Championship players.
At least this one plays in a top European League for an established club*
Are Villareal still in the top division????
the system was always a bit of a farce - a guy with 70 odd caps for Saudi Arabia would qualify for a permit above a guy with 3 caps for Brazil. Not a huge amount of logic
maybe they thought we were buying the 23m stepover won.
was pretty good for us for a while as well which people tend to overlook
