Squillaci - plan B if Van Dijk a no go?

Popping up on twitter, I think based on the end of this: David Villa Arsenal transfer: Arsene Wenger will make final offer to Barcelona | Mail Online

His scoring record on wiki can not be right, surely?

No, bottom of page is accurate

Not very quick but would give us a much stronger presence in the air

He has never looked good for Arsenal but maybe could do a job at this level. Only thing is he is on £60k a week at Arsenal and i would never pay him more the 6k down here at Brighton.

It's a non-starter IMO. He'd definitely be good for us though, was very good in Ligue 1 which is a lot better than the Championship

Squillaci? I'd rather have Cygan FFS!

to be fair Cygan's face would scare any attacker. Would definitely go down as one of the ugliest players in premiership history.

played in a champion's league final near 10 years ago.. I was skeptical about Bridge though and god has he proved me wrong. It seems unlikely we would get him but maybe he wants to have something interesting to end his career, its easy to forget sometimes that not all players are after money.

What if they are both no goes?

"@FourFourTom: Sebastien Squillaci is reportedly on the way to Brighton. If we let them have him a week earlier our cup tie would have been much easier."

 

[blockhseagull]

Or a well timed rumour to make the Dutch think we have other options apart from VvD ??

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Ffs, I said this a joke in another thread.

Sebastien Squillaci

 

[KJP]

He's awful

 

[Colossal Squid]

In a HEARTBEAT

Oh...

 

[Withdeano]

He's awful

Wow! Is this a measure of how far we've come, or just ignorance? The bloke's played over 20 times for France. Think he might be able to hold a stick to GG and AE-A.

The latter I think...we have become so arrogant its laughable.

It does make you think about how stupid some NSCers have got recently when someone with 20 caps for France, a Champions League runners-up medal, who's played 39 games in the last two years for Arsenal isn't good enough for us
