Transfer rumour

I read a report today saying Arsene Wenger will try to bring Lilian Thuram to Arsenal to provide some experience for his young defence.

I know Wenger’s a big Thuram fan since coaching him at Monaco but I just can’t see that move happening. To sign a 34 year old outfield player would go against all of Wenger’s transfer history at Arsenal (I can only think of Davor Suker at 31) and he has a rigid policy of giving players over 30 at the club only one year extension’s.

Arsene puts so much trust in his youngsters that bringing in a player who’s heading towards the end of his career doesn’t seem like an option.
