Window Watch – Andre Santos to Arsenal

Arsenal have announced the completion of a reported £6 million deal to bring Brazilian left-back to the Emirates from Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

The 28 year-old has signed a long-term year deal for the Gunners and will rival Kieran Gibbs for the role on the left of the Arsene Wenger’s back four; Gibbs is currently crocked – a familiar situation and one which has no doubt driven the Arsenal boss into the transfer market having seen both Gael Clichy and Armand Traore leave the club.

The Statisitics

Santos arrives at the Emirates having made 52 appearances over two seasons for the Turks, notching an impressive 10 goals on the way. He arrived at Fenerbache in 2009, plucked from Corinthians where he made 59 appearances, finding the net on 9 occasions.

Those statistics provide a good insight into a player who possesses a superb left-foot which can often provide a potent attacking weapon. His swashbuckling style is Inevitably compared Roberto Carlos; Santos ironically replaced the Brazilian legend when he arrived at Fenerbache. Like Carlos, Arsenal’s new signing can be devastating going forward but has been accused of losing concentration at the back and his general defensive play has been called into question. So much so, Dunga omitted Santos from his 2010 World Cup squad, preferring Michel Bastos and the Tottenham flop that was Gilberto.

The Prospects

Santos has strong attacking potential which, if he settles in quickly, should see him usurp Kieran Gibbs for the left-back role. Wenger will be looking to use Santos’ strong running down the left to partner with Gervinho, perhaps relying on two holding midfielders and Thomas Vermalen’s awareness to help cover any gaps and defensive lapses. The Fantasy potential is there then, if Wenger looks set to favour Santos over the fragile Gibbs but we’ve seen many times before that Brazilian signings can be hit and miss in the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger said upon completion of the deal:

“Santos is a quality player, with the ability to both defend well and get forward and help with attacks. He has experience in the Champions League and for Brazil and has proven he can deliver at the highest level. We welcome Santos to the Club and look forward to him having a big impact for us.”

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Is he really what they need though, considering what they really lack at the back is stability, not attacking threat?? Suppose the Mertesacker signing should help them, assuming it's completed....

        Lame attempt though, why not go for the double hit by claiming he's the FIRST over 28 year old to sign for them since Silvestre - an omen?

      Hello!

      Arsenal still needs a midfielder. Can i make you some questions?

      1 - I have already made 3 substitutions for Gw4. But, the exibitions of Rooney and Nasri motivates me to thinking about to use my wildcard, now.
      If i play the WC i'll loose the points (8) for the transfers i have already made? Or the wildcard will cancel these points loss?

      2 - Why the Bonus sistem is different (and how can interpretate the EA Sports PPI game by game) ?

      3 - Why the 'Gameweek Price Rise' item have dissapeared?

    Team is a bit of a mess, I wanted to keep Given as I thought it'd save me a transfer so I'll just play him when Hilario goes back to benchwarmer.

    I know I need to get rid of Torres and Mata seems the best alternative at the moment - Was thinking of Torres/Moses for Long/Mata... I have 2 free transfers. Any other suggestions?

            I'm beginning to worry about that reality.

            But surely Mancini will keep the pressure on by playing his top/form players against the smaller teams. A draw against Wigan would be quite a knock.

              Mancini likes to rotate and there is no danger of wigan getting a point with nasri-yaya-barry-silva behind tevez who will work his ass off and baloteli on one of his last chances (the way the other forwards r playing)

              Champions League game after the Wigan game I think, so he'd want to be keeping players fresh for that. I can honestly see Tevez starting.

              But when his reserve options include Tevez it's hardly letting up, they'll still thrash Wigan.

              I think Dzeko is very likely to be benched but I'm still getting him because over the course of the season there is nobody who comes close for that price. I'm very iffy about ever captaining him because of the rotation threat though, so when I captain a City player it'll be Silva.

                you r right they will still probably score 3-4 goals,
                im thinking RVP captain but Arsene can well take him off with 20 min to go if the game is won, as they got Borusia D away i think

                  They need to bounce back and will want to send a message, could be rested at the end but he may well have scored big by then. I don't have him but if I did I'd have to captain him.

          Bellamy has been stronly linked/with talks/etc with a number of clubs. But nothing has happened yet. Could he be fulfilling part of his contract to seek a move to another club so that Man C release him from his contract after the window?

              There are not many players at the 7-8m price range. I can only recall Yaya Toure who played an advanced CM role last season for Citeh. Now we have Parker, a DM, who might not be nailed on in Spurs first 11. Now you tell me will he deserve 7.0 or 8.0m

    New to all this - need a bit of help. I've got 6 players which have gone up in price. If I were to wildcard, would the price of those 6 be "protected" or would the current price apply to all 15 players ?
    Team is :
    Given/Ruddy
    Richards/Bosingwa/Enrique/Bardsley/Simpson
    Young/Nasri/Adam/Sinclair/Moses
    Rooney/Dzeko/Holt

        cheers mate - I should explain I've have just brought in Richards, Nasri, Adam & Dzeko (for Baines, N'Zogbia, Sessegnon & Torres) but at a cost of 8pts.
        Guess my question should be ; is it better to just swallow the 8pt hit OR (bearing in mind I want to make another couple as well - which would take it to 16pts) use the wildcard ?
        I'm not looking to trade any of the players that have increased in price - I've only just brought 2 of 'em in !!...or in other words, if I were to wildcard and kept, eg Bosingwa, would his price be 5.8 or 5.5.
        Sorry if I appear a bit dumb !

          o rite mate i get it

          if you wildcard and keep the player then his price wont go down

          but when you transfer him out there is 50% 'commission' on your profit so he will cost more in your team than he's actually worth to you if you get what im saying

          wildcard now mate

          16 pt hit is ****ing crazy

      Take Bosingwa as an example. If you bought him for 5.5, you could sell him now for 5.6, but it would costs you 5.8 (his current price) to buy him back. So make sure, when you wildcard, you don't sell anybody who has risen in price, and who you might want to keep - it will cost you value.

              I dont know or hate Jas.

              The idea of time and wasting ones time in life is something i detest. He is on here everytime i read an article saying the exact same moronic trolling comments and has been for years.

              The percieved anger i suppose is more a reflection on modern society where young men think this (trolling for hours and hours ) every day is an accepatable way to both spend their time and contribute to society.

              Theres so many problems, diseases , concerns etc in the world and this behaviour (Jas) just symbolizes how a great many people would rather happily act as d"cks than help in any way to make the world a better place.

              And go on doing this hour after hour ,day after day , year after year.

              Its all rather depressing.

          Hasn't gone yet I don't think, really don't have a clue why we are getting rid of any defenders without bringing replacements in. If Shorey was to get injured who would we play at left back, Mattock or Jara? Oh dear!

      It'd be sweet if he gets to play as a left winger for Arsenal whilst classed as a defender in FPL. OOP potential which will be hyped up much more than Lolarov last year.

          Yeah. I still remember the day Valencia terror other team with Vicente and Joaquin on the wings. Lots of big clubs were after Joaquin like he's the nect big thing. Things just went downhill suddenly after the world cup. Both of them were never the same again.
