Title: Raul Albiol.

Arsene Wenger is trying to set up a bargain £5million deal for Spain defender Raul Albiol.
The Arsenal boss wants to sign the versatile 22-year-old and is hoping to take advantage of the cash crisis at Valencia by brokering a cut-price transfer.
Valencia, who only narrowly avoided the drop last season, are having to hold a fire sale with Spain stars David Villa, David Silva and Albiol all up for grabs.
Wenger tracked Albiol for months and likes his versatility because he can play at centre-half and as a holding midfielder.

But the Frenchman has made it clear he will not meet Valencia's £10m asking price |
I doubt we'd get him for 5 million. Has the potential to be an excellent signing though.

No, Albiol came on for Puyol in one of Spain's games and he looked out of his depth

Neither of them is better than Albiol. I´d take him, or none of the three.
Kompany is better than any of these, buy him.

Out of all the defenders we've been linked to, Zapata would get my vote.
Would be happy with Dunne also, and Kompany would be an interesting punt (but highly unlikely after Wenger's comments).
