http://www1.skysports.com/football/...o-sell-Gonzalo-Higuain-but-keep-Karim-Benzema We need a new striker and he is available. We have been linked a lot to David Villa but Higuain looks a far more appealing target if you ask me. Proven goal scorer, relatively young and yet to reach his prime, can lead the line by himself. I certainly wouldn't say no.
I'd need to see Benteke have a good second season before i'd be interested, he might just be another one season wonder like Santa Cruz or Kevin Doyle
Every time I watch Higuain play it seems he needs 4 or 5 gilt edged chances before he can score. No thanks.
One of the things that I constantly see misrepresented is the fine line between success and failure in football. Players written off as abject failures or teams declared as rubbish. What happened to Barcelona yesterday is just proof that it really doesn't take much for a team to drop back into the pack, or to rise out of it. The real danger is allowing impatience to make you keep changing and not allowing players to find their form. Often adding one player or making a slight change of tactics can completely rewrite a team's fortunes. If you keep chopping and changing like some fashion diva searching for an outfit to a big show, then you are never going to get a team that are comfortable together. All our players, are "good enough" to play in a title winning team, given the "right" mix of other players and tactics. It is finding that perfect cocktail that is the trick. Yes their are players like Ronaldo and Messi that can play anywhere, and the super rich clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea can try to build a team of them. But there are less of those players these days, and these few superstars are much harder to buy. I don't think even Real Madrid or Chelsea can buy a team of Galacticos any more. It is very easy to always predict in the negative for Arsenal, because (it should be clear to everyone by now) the odds are against us winning, but that doesn't mean that constantly declaring all our players as rubbish, or forecasting doom, is necessarily right. It is very difficult to see when you are close to having a fantastic team. Look at Borussia Dortmund. Last year we beat them 2-1 at home and drew in Germany. No one even thought it was a decent effort by us, yet a year later they are somehow a wonder team in the CL final, with very much the same players as they had against us. I'm not saying that we are definitely going to be world beaters next year, or that we definitely wont. Because you just can't deal in these certainties, everyone seems to want. We are not going to definitely win, even if we sign Messi tomorrow. Nor are we definitely going to lose if we don't sign a enforcing DM. It is far more subtle than that, and you or I are very unlikely to pick up on what the missing ingredient is, because we aren't experts. If it was that easy, then SAF wouldn't win so many trophies, because everyone would be producing winning teams. Who thought Michael Carrick would be in a PL title winning team after the Barcelona CL final 2 years ago? Not me that's for sure. This year he was in for the Player of the Year. Next year it could be Ramsey or Walcott. You just don't know. That is why it is a great game.
Actually, you are the only one that seems to be winding anyone up at the moment. I would imagine that they get to start here with a clean sheet, so your ad hominum attacks on everything they write, are probably going to be seen as trolling. One thing we do have here are good moderators. They even seem to referee Arsenal87 and me successfully.
I prefer quality over quantity. Maybe these new peope should **** off back to ja606, and take Toledo with them, he's too deluded for this place.
