Why Arsenal should seriously consider going Dutch

Football
FanCast guest columnist Jordan
Smith is intrigued to hear that
Seedorf has expressed an interest in the Premier League and feels he would be a
perfect at the Emirates.

For me he is been one of the finest players of his generation
and one of the most successful. There aren't many who can claim that they have
won three Champions League winners medals, with three different clubs and it is
testament to his abilities as a player that Europe's elite have all sought his
services, time after time.

At 32yrs of age Clarence Seedorf would seem to be at the
twilight of his career and there is growing belief in Milan that the Dutchman
may have played his last game at the San Siro, as Carlo Ancelotti looks to
rebuild after AC' failings last year. There will undoubtedly no shortage of
options should the Dutchman wish to move on, but the player has hinted that a
move to the Premier League is something that he wouldn't rule out.

"I'd always love to come and
play in The Premier League, but things just don't happen like that,"
Seedorf said. "I've never touched The
Premier League yet, but let's say we never know.

"Opportunities
come and go, when I was close to coming to England with Manchester United or
Arsenal when I was at Sampdoria I went to Real Madrid.

"You
cannot go everywhere; I've been playing in Spain and Italy. For now I'm in
Italy and I'm always following with a very special eye the movement in The
Premier League because at the moment it's an example for everybody." (Setanta)

I'm sure there aren't many Premier League clubs who would turn
down the opportunity to sign Clarence Seedorf and me as an Arsenal fan, I would
welcome him more than most.

In all honesty we have been crying out for a midfield general for
a long time and for all of Mathieu Flamini's efforts last year, he was no
Patrick Viera. We need that leader of men, the one who could galvanise those
around and drive the football club forward in pursuit of honours. He wouldn't cost
the earth to sign and I just feel for two or three seasons would be an
excellent addition and be the perfect foil for Cesc Fabregas. Our side is
desperately short of winners and experience and I believe that Seedorf ticks
all the boxes that we require.

How would Arsenal fans feel about a possible move for Clarence
Seedorf and is he just the type of player they need?
