Schillaci is not the right player for Arsenal

I like the idea of Arsenal signing an ‘experienced’ player, but Wenger has gone too far on this one.

Judging by this video, he WAS a quality player. But you can never judge a player by a World Cup performance.

He was great, but this was 20 years ago. I’m not convinced he’s the right player for us.

    Hilarious. No, really.

  2. Gooner9

    It’s a good thing were after Squillaci instead then hey ;)

  3. Anonymous

    They are two different players, that guy in the Video is from Italy and plays striker and we signed a defender from France. Different guys from different countries and play different positions

  4. Irish_Gunner

    priceless, enjoyed that one. Wonder how long it’ll take some to work it out..

  5. aqqe

    This is a joke article, right?

  6. rellends

    plus when did he switch to defence? mindboggling. but then we’ll get the usual arsene knows brigade coming on here saying what an inspired signing he is. shameful.

  7. Irish_Gunner, I’m amazed to be honest!! :)

  8. gordon bennett

    cant believe some people r taking this seriously!

  9. RedCurrant

    Is it true we’re also in for Roger Milla?

  10. gordon bennett, your name sums it up! :)

  11. Irishgooner

    Not funny but the headline make me click on it. for that well done.

  12. Gerry Gooner

    Priceless! Lol

  13. aha

    At least you didn’t put a Squillaci guy who works in a black market of Napoli

  14. Mug

    No its cool Scott, you see as he reached his 40s he slipped back into defence and now aged 54 is a top class sweeper. He is in a wheelchair now, but that will only make him more mobile.

  15. jack

    Some folks are probably gonna be tying themselves in knots tryin to work out the difference. he he he.

  16. yido6061

    “Any player coming to Spurs, whether he’s a big signing or just a ground staff boy, must be dedicated to the game and to the club. He must never be satisfied with his last performance, and he must hate losing.” Bill Nicholson
    Wellcome Mr Gallas to the world that is TOOTENHAM HOTSPUR put that in your pipe scotty boy

  25. yido6061

  28. 9jagun

    wanted to tell this article writer 2 quit but just found out he is a clown

  29. “….and he must hate losing”.
    Must be a miserable bunch at Tottenham then.

  30. dutchgunner

    I really hope this is a joke, because if not then……really? 20 yrs ago squillaci would have been 10 yrs old

  31. @dutchgunner. I’ll put you and a few others out of their misery. It was a joke!

  32. Mat

    one has to appreciate his positional versatility

  33. yido6061

    “The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It’s nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It’s about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom.Boring Boring ARSENAL
    and on that note i’ll say good night Scotty Boy

  34. Bammers05

    The funniest thing about this article is that there are actually people who think it’s serious.

  35. @yido6061, finally!! ;) I’m sure I’ll hear from you again. Take it easy mate.

  36. Rosdan

    This is not Squllaci!
    don’t confuse other please

  37. goonerpastor

    ssshhh, wenger is about to wrap up d deal with pele, rumour says it is a one year deal, the boss wants it quiet.

  38. goonerpastor

    he he he he good one mate

  39. Lucifer

    Rosdan’s comments are priceless.
    Best comment was the third and fifth ones. Haha!
    Quality Scott.

  40. ahmed

    this was 20 years and he is now a 30 so he was a 10 in his first world cup a phenomnal eh :P !?!?!

  41. Stoney

    Say we are champions league say we are champions league. The mighty spurs are coming to get you goons.

  42. Goonerpower

    He was a class player, no doubt about that.

  43. kiwigooner

    I hear that the reason he has taken sooooo long to pass his medical is cos he’s got 10 legs!

  44. Goon De Baar

    Nice post to fill a newsless day ..

  45. NickTheGooner

    Funny article, even funnier (or depressing, depending on which way you look at it) that there are people stupid enough to fall for it.

  46. Le_Bob

    “plus when did he switch to defence? mindboggling. but then we’ll get the usual arsene knows brigade coming on here saying what an inspired signing he is. shameful.”

    Some people really need to realize there was football going on before the 2000s. The post is a joke, you gits. Salvatore Schillaci in the vid above – not the same as th CB Sebastien Squillaci from France we’re supposedly about to sign – was an ace striker in the 90s from Italy.

  47. Clockworkyid

    Le Bob

    Superb.Got to chuckle…..

    You lot will always be fine but I do look at this as the final Arsene season without a trophey.

    Im sure you have argued this before but it is true do you not concur?

    Yup bored and looking for a debate but what the hell im right though…!

  48. :S

    that guy’s first name is different than the one who we want to buy its sebastien sQUillaci not TOTO sCHillaci he’s french no italian and a defender not striker and looks differsnt also :P arsenal news is a bad site for arsenal’s transfer :S

  49. JAMES GUNNER

    You have to be realistic. Out of ten
    signings made by Wenger,two or three may be poor. Remember Cygan/luzhny,Stepanov.Thats for starters.If you can get your decsion making process 85% spot on,its okay.
    Below 50% then the manager shd be sacked.

  50. dragz

    hahahahahaha…

    so sebastien is french for salvatore then lol

  51. PO4

    20 years ago he was 10 years old… you should think before you write your articles!

  52. HY Lau

    who said we sign him to play center back? we’re signing him to replace wenger.

  53. Barry Vennison

    Fucking blinding.
    Best arsenal blog there is, properly makes me laugh. Even spurs come on here for a grin. I check it every day now.
    Scott don’t stop mate it’s a breath of fresh air.

  54. joshgunner

    hahaha…gawd i hope ppl realise its article’s a joke..

  55. Barry Vennison

    People actually think this is real and that you made a mistake Scott?
    Fuck me us Arsenal fans really are boring cunts.
    More of this mate, it’s fucking magic.

  56. Barry Vennison

    AA
    he got you mate

  57. ASNLthruNthru

    Didn’t Schillachi play against Mike Bassett’s England team ,totally outclassed them and scored a double hatrick? Similar to what Arry Rednose Spuds can expect in CL!

  58. jez

    rubbish aticle…

  59. You said exactly the same with Varmalaen, and right now, when he misses in the Arsenal defence you cry. What’s wrong with you?

  60. Anonymous

    Wrong player noob. Go back to school and learn how to spell!

  61. bobbyp

    Great article. Very funny. I did hear Toto was making a comeback and I thought for sure he wouldn’t be able to hack it anymore as a forward. Then I thought, but maybe he could make it as a defender. Ok so he’d be in his late 50′s, but it’d be the experience we’ve been crying out for. And Wenger likes a player who can play in various positions.

    Cannot believe how thick some people are not to realise. We must have the most retarded fans in the world.

  62. Sodie69

    He’d still be slightly quicker than Bendtner!

  63. Henryb14

    What a load of bollix, do you have any other knowledge of the player or do you do your “scouting” via YouTube, lazy pisspoor blogging/comment

  64. Rdeat

    I can’t believe I just wasted my time with that.
    Lame joke of the day. I knew the spelling was wrong to start with.
    Should have followed my instincts and ignored it to save myself
    the two minutes of my life you have stolen from me. But if that was
    your intent then fair dos

  65. goonalege

    lol legend! I like ur style keep it up us gooners need a laugh every now and then!

  66. My favourite comments so far:

    “What a load of bollix, do you have any other knowledge of the player or do you do your “scouting” via YouTube, lazy pisspoor blogging/comment”

    “Wrong player noob. Go back to school and learn how to spell!”

    “You said exactly the same with Varmalaen, and right now, when he misses in the Arsenal defence you cry. What’s wrong with you?”

    “20 years ago he was 10 years old… you should think before you write your articles!”

    “They are two different players, that guy in the Video is from Italy and plays striker and we signed a defender from France. Different guys from different countries and play different positions”

    “This is a joke article, right?”

    Brilliant!! :)

  67. Clockworkyid

    Keep up the good work!

    ScottPuffin as far as Arse blogs-Well football blogs this is fast becoming my favourite

    Its now littered wth Yids.Hillarious…….

    Whats next Arsenal to sign Tony Yeboah?

    Great stuff!

  68. iffi

    waist of time …..this article

  69. J Kasper, thanks for clarifying that!! :) I really appreciate it.
    Some of the fans are amazingly simple.

  70. Goonerpower

    Hahaha people make laugh, it a JOKE, you know, facetious, tounge in cheek. Jesus what’s up with these people.

    Who’s the knob end eh??!??!????!!!

  71. Goonerpower, I think it’s a lost cause for some :)
    I never actually thought for one moment that anyone would take this literally!! Amazing! :)

  72. Goonerpower

    :-) good old world-wide-web, brings all kind of numptys to the surface :-)

  73. Jude Obitre

    Schillaci and Squillaci are different names and players for that matter…that said, the clip brings good memories after all, AW says that our new chap is excellent in dead ball scenarios !

  74. b14de

    lol this was funny i actually fell for it first, they both look soooo similar in height and appearance i was thinking i swear we signed a defender but he looks like a damn good striker!!

  75. CaliGoon

    I can’t tell: is it pestering sp*ds fans or paranoid Arsenal fans that are so humorless regarding this article? I’m guessing both.

    This and 7amkickoff are far and away the best Arsenal blogs because you DON’T TAKE EVERYTHING SO SERIOUSLY. Keep up the good work, scottpuffin!

  76. Anonymous

    IF THIS WAS 20 YEARS AGO HE WOULD BE 10 YEARS OLD!

  77. CaliGoon, thanks mate.
    We try to have a ‘lighter’ approach to things. :)

  78. ritesh

    Wanker!!!

  79. Scooch

    What amazes me isn’t so much the lack of humour or brains, but people don’t even read the comments! I was gonna come on here and have a rant at u, but then I took the time to read the article and comments

  80. norcack

    So many people getting trolled, I love it

  81. Scnsb

    One word “prick”

  82. Scooch and Norcack, it’s amazing! :)
    I can’t really work out the uncalled for abuse and language from the likes of Scnsb and Ritesh. Harsh, but I won’t delete their comments. It makes them look even more ridiculous!
