Philippe Senderos joins Fulham FC
Philippe Senderos has signed for Fulham on a free transfer.
Arsene Wenger lost faith in the Swiss international after a string of inconsistent performances at centre-back and failed to hand Senderos a single appearance in the Premier League last term.
The 25-year-old had been unsettled at Arsenal since the end of the 2007/08 season and spent the following campaign on loan at AC Milan.
Many were unsure of Senderos’ future at the Emirates Stadium when he joined Everton for a loan spell in January with just six months left on his Arsenal contract.
But Senderos has now resolved his future before the World Cup and on signing with Fulham today, he said:
“I’m delighted to have finalised my transfer to Fulham earlier today and happy that I am joining the Club during the most successful period in its history.
“I will be looking forward to meeting up with my new teammates and of course, Roy Hodgson, a Manager I respect very much, shortly after the World Cup.
“I very much hope that I can contribute over the next few seasons and that the Club goes on to achieve more success.”
Senderos joined Arsenal from Servette in 2002 and played 117 games for the Gunners, scoring four goals.
goooooooood and ………….It seems now Wenger will look for new central defender
I’m glad Senderos has freed Tony Adams’ famous No. 6! 😀
Even so, I don’t know about you, but I hate it when our players join Prem clubs.
Well, that’s a good positive start 😉
I am happy 4 our club wenger must be doing somersaults.
donkey kong has left the building. very positive (although he was one of cesc’s best mates at the club.. and we all know we need ever little bit of help to persuade him north london is home!!)
Yea but considering his P45 will only travel from N5 to SW9 I’m sure him and Cesc will still hang out pretty often.
ahhhh…………i was waiting for the silvestre news!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i still think he could have been a good number 3……
RANDY what say u??? he was better than silvestre
I agree man. The fact is that Silvestre was more versatile though, because he could also play at left-back. But Senderos was still a better CB choice.
i hope he gets better….but truth be told,something got missing in him along his arsenal carreer.so maybe good for arsenal to free up space for someone better……………fulahm,get ready for the better or the worst
silvestre is worse than the worst
HALLELUJAH i feel sorry for fulham fans tho,bad luck
There goes the most succesful period in Fulham’s history!!
Maybe they’ll take Sylvestre off our hands too!
Senderos, all the best in your future undertaking…Cheers!
So that’s Senderos out possibly followed by campbell, silvestre and gallas. Leaving us with vermaelen and djourou. That means we have to sign atleast two new cbs
Wenger need at least 2 more defenders now that sendy left, gallas is leaving, silvestre is leaving and no signs of Campbell joining for another year..
We are now only left with vermaelen, djourou and song as possible CB options. Nordveit and bartley are not there yet and will probably play only in the carling cup.
I am quite keen on the lorient guy and at age 24 he seems to be at the right age and may just be another vermaelen unearthed.
Thus TV, DJ and this guy will be the 3 main CB with the fourth a back up, probably the Danish guy kjaer.. With this 4 young ones.. I am sure we will have a no nonsense defense..
Bartley and nordveit can be the younger deputies for the carling cup and FA cup. We need no more out field players maybe except maybe young ones like hazard and assulin to replace fabregas and merida..
For Cole, I would love to see him come to arsenal. Dun mind paying him 90k a week since he is on a free and his value is definitely worth 10-12 million. Imagine 2 quality players coming to arsenal for free.. This is awesome!!!!!
Furthermore I would love to see wenger resist barcarole approach on cesc and clichy.. Until the end of summer and then get a huge sum of money for cesc, and I would definitely enjoy seeing Taya toure being involved in the deal. This literally means getting a defensive midfielder for ‘free’ and selling cesc for 30 million. Yaya can share the def midfield role with song and diaby. Eastmond can be their deputy since coquelin is likely to have gone to lorient.
Lost of cesc can be replaced with Ramsey, nasri, wilshere, rosicky, arshavin and Joe Cole
!!!!
If arsenal managed to accomplished all this during the summer, then it would be wonderful fit the club and all the fans. We will definitely be damn strong next season…
Another great news would be to sell away almunia and fabianski and get either green or hart.
Sell away denilson and eduardo as well as I no longer see them in my team anymore..
He was never one of my favourite defenders, but was always professional and a credit to the club. No back-biting or bad mouthing in the press and he always gave 100%.
I wish him all the best at Fulham.
I actually feel sorry for Senderos, but he suffered the mental illness known as drogbaitis, which is near impossible to shake off.Most probably a good move for him,at a club were the expectations aren’t so high.
one cuckoo gone !
He never quite made it for us so I wish him well where the pressure and expectations will not be so great.
Oh No, I must be dreaming…How could life be soo funny! One moment I see Drogba cunting [sorry] face coming towards me and suddenly he changes to Roy Hudgson’s outstretch hand
Anyways all the best to the Linguist, I think a club like Fulham will actually take pressure off him
