Liverpool's French left back Djimi Traore has been ear-marked as Ashley Cole's replacement in the Arsenal team reports French newspaper L'equipe.
Apparently negotiations stalled last off season after Cole's move to Chelsea fell through & a club willing to pay Arsenal's £15million asking price never appeared. Well this January it looks like Cole's off to Madrid for about £10 million & the deal could well be back on. Traore's agent Pascal Masourve is quoted as saying "Djimi wants to win things at Liverpool & is ecstaticly happy, but the situation is very much up in the air. Other players know they will move in January to make funds for transfers & Djimi is'nt sure of his place(in the team)" The price quoted was €15million & the paper reported that Liverpool are also going to try to sign Phillepe Mexes from Roma in January.

"Liverpool are also going to try to sign Phillepe Mexes from Roma in January"

that seems to be a reasonably good shout. and one that has been mentioned by a couple of sites now. dont mean its true...but its the kind of quality required.

wenger sign traore as a replacement for cole is laughable,they have a ready made replacement in gichy "i can,t remember how to spell his name but he is a young frenchman" and far superior to traore

back to traore, i think that...................oh f.uck it!!

GET RID

the lad will never be better than 'cover' harsh but fair.

Lets face it Traore's an average player who wouldn't get a look in, in any of the other top teams. I can't see Wenger going in for him though, particularly as he already has a replacement in Clichy. Besides, Wenger likes players who are comfortable on the ball and Traore is hardly that.

You couldn't make it up.
