In this mornings Telegraph, by ex-Arsenal player Alan Smith.

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/arsenal/5309948/Arsene-Wenger-needs-to-strengthen-Arsenals-spine.html

Basically saying that Arsenal need to replace the backbone of their team (i.e. GK, CB, CM, CF) and the person he recommends for CB is big Ryan.

Probably a bit early days yet, as I don't think Ryan is quite ready for that step up yet, but, I've no doubt that he will play at that level someday.

On thing is for sure, another impressive season like this one and he will definately have quite a few people keeping an eye on him.

If you want I'll tell you a life story, about a man who's at loggerheads with his past all the time.

A purist such as Wenger would never want to sign a player who sets out to deliberately injure other players.

Remember it well, ripped off by the FA tribunal again, they set the fees didn't they?
As if Arsenal were going to win titles with £250k defenders, that's what they offered I think.

I'm pretty sure we agreed the Dixon fee and we were shafted by the tribunal on Bould.
