Nope, this definitely is not an April fool's joke!
Wenger picked up an experienced and unwanted Silvestre from Man Utd!!
I never thought in a million years that Fergie would just give off one of his players to one of the Top 4! Silvestre, one of the best defenders in Europe at a point of time, was unwanted by Manchester United as they found a better blocker in Wes Brown. He is expected to cost around 750,000 pounds, and will be the first player to sign for Arsenal from Manchester United in 34 years.
He'll mostly be used as a replacement for Phillipe Senderos, who has a tendency to make stupid mistakes in tough situations. He has signed a two year deal, and will don the number 18 shirt, last worn by Cygan. The last player from Manchester United to sign for Arsenal was Brian Kidd way back in 1974!
Silvestre had been approached by Manchester City, and was about to join them before he heard that Arsenal were showing interest in him.
Welcome to Arsenal Silvestre!
