COMMENT: So is this it? The best chance for Arsenal fans to 'get back our club'? Swapping one media shy foreign owner for another? And all driven by a trio of foreign former players...?

For Daniel Ek, as a PR campaign it's been brilliant. The Swedish billionaire hasn't had to say a word. Instead, his heroes have done the talking for him. Light on detail. Light on substance. But who cares when Henry, Vieira and Henry are back together? No push back. Not even a hint of curiosity. Just let them go. Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. Three Invincibles to represent Ek. To give his side. Not his plans. Not his project. Oh no, nothing like that. Just buzzwords. 'DNA'. 'Change'. 'Commitment'. An appealing lexicon, but little else. Nothing substantial. Certainly nothing foundational. But when you're granted an audience by an Invincible, you obviously throw on a concerned look and let them run the show.

And they're insisting Ek is a fan. More than that, the Swede is a "committed" and "passionate" fan. He wants to take the club back to it's former glories - when these three Invincibles were at their peak. Or so they say, because we still haven't heard from him. Just like the Arsenal support never hear from Stan Kroenke. A point of difference? Where?

So that's what we have. And this is the hope fans are counting on. A Swede, two Frenchman and a Dutch. United together to buy what should be the biggest club in London. Ek provides the money and the Invincibles the connection... But what exactly is this connection?

It's been 16 years since Vieira was part of Arsenal. For Bergkamp 15. And Henry made that celebrated comeback in 2012. Legends of the club, no doubt. But they also left the Gunners - and North London - to extend and pursue their careers. But now they're back. But not in North London. Some, like Ek, not even in the country. Yet they have their finger on the pulse of what is happening and what is needed to turn things around?

Where does Tony Adams, 'Mr Arsenal' sit in all this? David Seaman? Alan Smith? What about someone like Paul Davis, who not only came through the Hale End academy, but would eventually coach there after hanging up the boots. Can we hear from them? Why aren't they involved?

Or let's get right into it and quiz David Dein. Does the club's former vice-chairman have something to offer on this apparent takeover? Adams and Dein, particularly, would be worth recruiting, one who helped build the club on the pitch and one who did the same off it. For the modern day Arsenal, actual foundational identities. Why aren't we hearing from them when it comes to changing ownership?

But perhaps what we're seeing now is the modern day Arsenal. The legacy of Arsene Wenger. The roots of the club aren't to be found in North London, but in Paris, Barcelona and Amsterdam. After all, under Wenger no team named an all-foreign XI more than Arsenal - and that was by a distance of over 100 games. So when it comes to protesting against the management of the owners, there's no Gary Neville or Jamie Carragher, living in the city, remaining connected with their clubs, to help kick things along. Instead, in Arsenal's case, it's being driven by a clique of ex-players whom have put down roots elsewhere.

That's not to say there isn't local identities eager to be heard. As mentioned, Adams, Dein, Lee Dixon, etc. What about Pat Rice? Vic Akers? A proper link between owners, the club and the local community...

And what about this offer? Claims of a bid made - some £1.8m apparently - which was rejected by the Kroenkes. At least, that's coming from Ek's side. For the Americans, they're insisting nothing was ever tabled.

The truth? Who knows? But what about where this money came from? Ek is said to have a net worth of £2.8m. And he's claimed to have offered £1.8m to Stan Kroenke to sell? How does that work? Well, it doesn't. Ek - if this is true - will have supporters, maybe even backers. So who are these people or institutions involved?

Among the criticism aimed at Kroenke is that the American billionaire has never dipped into his own pocket to help Arsenal in terms of signings. Now a mid-table club living on it's badge in the transfer market, something needs to shift if they're to attract the talent needed to short-cut plans of competing for a top four place. Kroenke, on past behaviour, clearly has no intention of using some of his own fortune to help with the squad rebuild, but would Ek be any different? Indeed, it's a doubt he'd be even capable. But we don't know, like so much of this 'attempt', the question has never been asked and the information never volunteered.

For this column, the make up of this takeover attempt just doesn't sit right. While there's been a positive debate since the Super League farce about Premier League clubs and links with their local support, we have this (apparent) attempt from one foreign, media-shy billionaire to buyout another; Leaning on three former players not living fulltime in the country to do his PR; With no detail of how the takeover is funded; Nor of the project he has should he ever gain control.

The Gunners support deserves better. It deserves transparency. A plan. This can't be it. There must be a better way for Arsenal fans to 'get back our club'.
