Philippe Senderos

Decent enough signing, would be a great 4th choice center half to provide cover for Jags, Lescott and Yobo, sadly though I imagine he's to be Joleon's replacement.
 

Senderos would be a great signing as a backup CD and it's not a bad move for him either at this time since Jags is gone. With only Lescott and Yobo to contend with for 2 starting slots he's bound to get chances to prove himself. And when Jags gets back from his injury, Yobo will leave and it will still be just 2 other CD's for him to contend with.
 
no mention on the OS, i'm excited about this signing, established international that occasionally comes up with goals.

if moyes was looking to replace Lescott, he would set his sights much higher than senderos though. Yobo plus Senderos in the center is not terrible, but its a rather large step down from the lescott jagielka combination that worked so well for much of last season... i think moyes would show a little more ambition in building the central combination that will need to last us till jags comes back.

this signing might have even been to demonstrate our ambition to lescott. for a player that played out of position for a large part of his everton career, he doesn't strike me as the type to enjoy playing because theres noone else to play there. in addition to signing cover, moyes might have moved for senderos to show lescott that unlike city we won't coddle him, that we will really push him to his best because he will have to work hard, otherwise theres the bench
 

Tell you what, it shows how far we have come when we can regard Senderos as just "decent backup"

Only 24, plenty of international experience (30+ caps), experience at major European teams...

Wasn't Senderos in the Arsenal defence that broke the record for successive clean sheets?

It does show how far we've come I agree. Because Jags, Lescott and Yobo are all better than him.

Good to have a fourth decent centre half, but lets not pretend he's Beckenbauer. The gooner fans used to loathe him, in the same vein as United fans and Silvestre.

Just thinking that meself. You cant be a mug if you've played for Arsenal and AC Milan. CB is an area we are particularly strong in when all are fit. I dont think Senderos will be out of place. I fear it will be a signing that sees Lescott leave though.

Moyes came out earlier and said that he wanted to bolster our defence. Therefore I don't think Senderos is a replacement, but rather a backup. And having 4 international CD's in the squad is good since it would give a very strong conention for the starting positions when all are fit... even though the pair of Lescott-Jags would be hard to break.

Most Arsenal fans seem to think Senderos is decent, they hate Silvestre as well tho.
 
A good signing for us, i'm sure that Moyes can get the best out of him and put some pressure on Yobo to keep his mind in the game.

Will be a shame if Lescott does decide to go, but he's done us well and frankly i'm sure we could put the cash to better use :)

Translation from another forum:


Swiss national player Philippe Senderos left and is changed its club arsenal FC within the English Prime Minister League to Liverpool to Everton FC. Detail still unknown The 24-Jährige would have had in London still contract until 2010, had last however no more master place, so that its place likewise came into Swiss national team in danger. More exact details over the transfer or the contract running time with Everton did not become yet admit. Experienced Senderos was changed in the summer 2003 of Servette FC to arsenal and completed there 64 Prime Minister League plays, in which he shot four gates. After he did not come in such a way with the Gunners any longer to the course, he was lent for the season 2008/09 at the AC Milan, where he denied 14 portions in the series of A. The Rossoneri however let its Kaufoption elapse on Swiss, with which he had to return again to London. In March 2005 Senderos gave its debut for Swiss to national team, for which he denied so far 34 international matches (3 gates). In addition it belonged to the cadre for the FIFA-WM 2006 in Germany and the UEFA EURO 2008™ in its homeland. For Europe League qualifies Its new club, Everton FC, is the local rival of Liverpool FC and terminated the last season on fifth rank the Prime Minister League, which was enough for a place in the new UEFA Europe League. There the ninefold English master will only enter into the Playoffs to 20. and 27 August. In addition the Toffees was subject this year in the final of the Company-Cups Chelsea FC with 1: 2.

Sounds done and dusted to me.

Eh? Sounds like the scribblings of a dyslexic llama to me.
