EPL News: Robert Pires soon to be a Villain
The former Arsenal winger, Robert Pires who left Villareal this past summer and has been free of any club seems to be on the verge of re-sparking his playing career in the Premier League with Aston Villa. Gerard
Houllier who has seen his side suffer some serious injuries and as a result perform poorly seized the opportunity to make a move for the player and is hoping to have him sign a contract as soon as day after tomorrow, subject to the player passing a medical
at the club.
Pires who is currently 37-years-old has been training with his former team, Arsenal for a couple of weeks to remain fit. This means that despite his age the player is still in prime condition and has the stamina and fitness to perform
at the highest level. The move is however a rather shrewd one as Houllier has managed to lure a player who has proven time and time again that he is one of the best in the world at what he does.
Aston Villa have a brilliant set of young players amongst their ranks and the addition of an experienced world class player could prove to be just the missing link that was missing from the side. Pires will be expected to come into the
side and help provide some direction to the younger players and as a direct result he might help Aston Villa get back to their former glory.
Pires is a player who can produce magic out of nothing and has the intelligence and cunning to turn a defensive situation into an attacking lethal blow for the opposition. Wenger has also recently gone to public and stated that the player
is uniquely gifted as in training he is able to keep up with the teenagers in the team.
Pires is currently scheduled to undergo a medical before the weekend’s games and as result he is hoping to be a part of the Aston Villa side before the next set of fixtures in the Premier League.
