Wenger Hints At Barry Capture
-
The 31-year old France international signed a two-year deal at the Emirates Stadium for an undisclosed fee, surprising the club’s fans who had expected their manager to strengthen in midfield.
And while Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has reportedly ended his interest in Barry after the long and tiresome negotiations this summer, Wenger has hinted that he may still make a £16 million move for the player despite him being cup-tied in Europe.
“I believe once somebody cannot play for you in Europe, it devalues the player for the season - but it is not necessarily stopping you from buying a player,” Wenger said.
"I can surprise you sometimes, as I got one in whom you did not expect, and there still might be one more player coming in.
"There is interest always. But I do not want to give you any names.”
On the signing of Silvestre, Wenger has cited the player’s experience as a key reason for his interest in the former Red Devils utility man.
"He can play centre-back, he can play left-back and that is an area where we were a bit inexperienced," Wenger added.
"He has a great team attitude and he can help us in the dressing room as well with his maturity."
