Former Arsenal centre back Mikael Silvestre has stoked up Werder Bremen's Champions League clash with Tottenham by questioning William Gallas's recent move across north London.

If you ask me if hemade the right decision, I would say - for him - yes, because he'shappy, he's playing, he's in London, his family are there.[LNB]'I'm also happy to face him tomorrow.'[LNB]Gunner get ya: Silvestre has the chance to shine against former arch enemies Tottenham this evening[LNB]Silvestre moved to the Bundesliga club after two years at the Emiratesbut doesn't believe he has anything to prove to his former boss.[LNB]He said: 'There must be a reason why Sol Campbell, William Gallasand myself all left the club. But it's not the place to discuss that.I'm just happy for Arsenal to continue the way they do.[LNB]'I still watch their results and some highlights because I care about my former team-mates and the staff.[LNB]'I had a good time over there, so I'm not going to complain.
