I was really impressed by the way he held Spain's midfield
together, for the likes of Xavi and Fabregas to venture forward and
he playing at the back end of the diamond. And he isn't like the
atypical DMC who just breaks thing down. Mind you, Senna can play
and from his displays in Euro 2008, he showed that he is
comfortable with the ball and often tracked the runs of his more
attacking minded team mates and launched several clinical passes
for them to ledge unto.
Of course, Monsieur Wenger and over-30 policy. Not everyone is
like Dennis Bergkamp who loves the club and is willing to put up
with year to year contract extensions (of course no other club
would have put up with his fear of flying). However, if Wenger
wants to develop a midfield partnership that is tried and tested
for the coming campaign, he has to look no further than Spain's
recent success for that formula and age should not be a barrier.
