SOME INFO.....

The only reason he has not signed yet, is that his agent wants £4 mill. This info comes from a young Arsenal player.

I wouldn't mind £4m either actually. I reckon if Thaksin was still in charge we'd have paid this fella his money ages ago. Nice to see we won't be fucked about with regardless of how rich we are.

That said, I really hope he signs!

if Keegan was manager then he'd play like this:

---------------Given---------------

SWP---Terry---Lescott---Ireland

Tevez--Elano--Robinho--Petrov/Bellamy

---------RSC--Adebayor---------

then at half time, he'd take of Terry and Lescott and put on Bojinov and Caicedo if we wernt winning.

and the wierd thing is, if Keegan did it, it would work somehow!!!

-----------------------------Terry----------------------------------

--------------------------Barry---Ireland----------------------------

-Tevez--Santa Cruz--Adebayour--Bojinov--Caicedo--Bellamy--Robinho-

Bench: Evans, Benjani, Petrov, Elano, SWP, Weiss, Taylor

joking aside i've often thought of swp as right back! its just his height he'd get murdered at far post crosses, cuz apart from that he'd be excellent in our formation, he'd be up and down all day which is what are full backs need to do plus he'd be better than most full backs in the opposition final third, plus he may be small but he'd get stuck right in!

Joe Royle played him as a wing back when he first broke into the first team if I remember rightly.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

SWP is not and will never be a right back.
He just isnt tall enough to deal with any aerial threat in defensive situations. Evra is a bit taller than him and gets taken to the cleaners by tall forwards time and time again. We could get away with it in emergency situations against average sides but it would be murder against anyone decent.
My opinion of course!

In some games, he could do a job there, but if we played him there week after week, coaches would change their tactics to exploit his lack of height.

Evra is an outstanding left back. That undermines your argument
