Think about it . . .

I thought we already had an abundance of young talent in central midfield? Fabregas, Diaby, Denilson, Song, Merida, Randall and (apparently) Djourou amongst others. Plus we have Gilberto, Hleb and Rosicky (yes the latter two ARE actually center mids).This move by Wenger is either; a sign that we're in a far better financial situation than most thought. Or that Wenger is rather rashly spending a fairly big chunk of our 'small' transfer budget on an unproven 17 year old (played 16 matches for Cardiff) in a position where we clearly don't need another young talent...
