The 31 year old defender has joined the Gunners for an undisclosed fee. Silvestre joined United in 1999 and played 250 games.

But why Silvestre? His being French must have made the decision easier for Wenger who already has many Frenchmen in his current squad:

Abou Diaby
Bacary Sagna
Samir Nasri
William Gallas (captain)
Gaël Clichy
Francis Coquelin
Armand Traoré

Does this mean that one day we will see an All-French Arsenal starting 11?
