Hi eds, I was wondering if arsenal have looked at any centre backs recently as both kos and per are entering their twilight years.
{Ed002's Note - Arsenal have had Rugani from Juventus looked at on more than one occasion and sent someone to specifically look at him recently in a Eurpoean game. His agent is pushing for a move or for a commitment from Juve and I understand he has spoken with Napoli. However, watching a player in a key position in the reserves, as they have done, makes a move any time soon unlikely to me.}

Kos has only just turned 30 and Mertesacker 31. I can see at least 2 or 3 more seasons at the top level from the pair. We have a tailor made replacement for Koscielny in Gabriel, who is only 24 and Chambers, at 20 has bags of potential.
I am certain we are looking at future replacements, but ther appears to be no immediate urgency.

ED002, the reserve team player you are talking about is Julio Pleguezuelo?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - No Rugani.}
