Well actually I'm sure a lot of us HAVE seen him play quite often. I watch the EPL and have seen Senderos play for both Arsenal and Switzerland for at least 2-3 years and let's be honest he hasn't been a star CB.
But I'll agree with you that we should not be writing him off without seeing him perform in a Milan shirt. I made the same argument for our dear friend Andriy yesterday, so I would be a hypocrite to say otherwise.
Based on what I've seen of Sanderos...he is comparable to Kaladze which honestly should be a good addition to the squad. Plus he's younger so you never know he may surprise ppl with a run of consistent performances. The biggest thing he has going for him is nothing technical though....it's that Wenger hand-picked him several years ago and that usually is a good sign.
Anyway....welcome Philippe....wish you do well in a Milan shirt....hopefully it's another Philippe (Mexes) this time next year
