hes got talent like, but ive not seen anything special from him. looks like hes gonna fall over the ball sometimes when hes dribbling with it. goes missing a lot too. deffo not worth that ammount

Great dribbler - not sure about his end product.

he wasnt that good during the WC. He certainly has skills, but at times seems to try do too much with the ball. Woeful finishing as well:o

13mill is way too much

The non-plussed replies from you lot surprises me. I think he's super.

The worst thing for me would be him going to Arsenal and Wenger's fantastic ability to improve a players game.

Ribery under Wenger could be fantastic.

Not every 'expensive young prospect' succeeds under Wenger's tutelage mate.

Jeffers, Van Bronckhorst, Pennant, Wright, etc etc.

Not made my mind up about Ribery yet. Sometimes flatters to deceive, sometimes brilliant and sometimes absolutely shite.

It's all well and good Arsenal signing these flair players, but with the back four (and lack of strength in depth in that department) they have they'll never win the title.

True, but there is every chance that he can polish the rough edges out of Ribery's game. If that happens he is going to cause many teams a lot of problems. He reminds me a little of Steve McManaman, in so much as, he can dribble with the ball at the same speed as he runs without the ball. Not many players have that ability.

Ribery and Rosicky to replace the old Pires/Lundberg wings basically then. That could be really very good, it really could. Ribery didn't have a fantastic WC but then neither really did Henry, and we all know what he can do in the league. I still think they are going to have issues unless they bring in several more players at the back though....

I rate Hleb too.

Wonder how they're going to accomodate them all?

I suppose that whingeing greasebag Reyes will be allowed to go to Madrid now actually.

I've not seen enough of him to comment - tho what I did see in the world cup he didn't live up to his hype(then again who did?)

He obviously has ability, it just seems a lot of money for someone I reckon will just get the shit kicked out of him

Cool Scar tho!

yeh think they have done prettygood with that swap. think the old partnershipoffered a bit more width. but Ribery is a special talent of that there is no doubt

He needs some time yet to prove how good he is

Nice to see Arsenal sign another attacking player when it's as clear as day that they need to strengethen their defence.

He will certainly scare the opposition!

Rosicky's not a winger, and he never has been.

He is, however, very injury prone.

ribery looks like a good player and could develop into an even better one. he's nowhere near worth the £13,000,000 that they're apparently going to pay though.

Weren't we linked with him fairly strongly at one point? I remember AF going on about him all the time :D.

Arsenal always seem to get linked with high fees and end up paying about half as much unless they win every competition they enter and discover an affordable form of nuclear fusion. They are probably the cleverest operators financially in the PL, so I imagine they will manage to get a good deal.

He'd improve the arse, undoubtedly. He may not have had a great WC but the lads class.

He's changed his mind again.

Ribery - The next Gerrard. ;)

He came on as sub for Marseille the other night in the Uefa cup.

Ribery's price has just fallen - obviously.

It'll have gone through the floor!

I guess he'll be staying put for a year then, unless Diouf is as mad as he sounds.
