I am all for companies getting behind soccer and sponsoring anything from a U8 team all the way up to the World Cup. I don't really care who the sponsor is either, I am not one of those people that was condescending when various MLS clubs signed up MLM outfits to be on their shirts.

Wenger should seriously consider bringing this guy to the Emirates.

There will be some who believe that the Gunners have enough players of an attacking nature and who do not believe a move for Rafael Van der Vaart makes sense, but I beg to differ.
