I know we don't have the funds for all but I wouldn't mind an M'vila and Xhaka. Would instantly transform our CM. Xhaka to be the playmaker, threading the passing, powerful as well and M'vila to shield the back four so we can actually stop a counter attack. Will be interesting. I think it is weird January is almost ****ing here already! Been a fun season so far.
I'd love it but I'm not convinced it would solve the problem as I think the issue is a lack of energy in the middle. As good as Xabi was/is, we miss Mascherano more than Alonso.
Is he the one that joined Man Utd and then argued that he wanted to join Chelsea before even attending a training session? Or was that Mikel?
Mikel. Lass played at Arsenal, Chelsea, and Pompey ( when they won the FA and were good) before going to Real Madrid!
Fair enough, knew it was something like that but couldn't remember or be arsed to check He must be getting on a bit now though?
28 I think? Ya, depends on the price too but he has the experience and should still be in the prime to be able to help out.
Thoughts on us getting Berbatov...? IMO, he is a quality player that shouldn't be too effected by age considering his style of play. However, he would irratate the **** out of me with his laziness on the pitch and I can't see Suarez, Gerrard, Sturridge or Gerrard being too impressed with someone not putting the effort in. He would only be a squad player though IMO, Sturridge would still be first pick.
Agreed, the laziness too man. Just so ****ing lethargic and that alone would not fit into how we want to play ( pressing game).
Bayer Leverkusen winger Sidney Sam is heading for the BayArena exit door in the summer, with Schalke having joined the race for the Germany international. Sam is a wanted man and will have a number of options if he quits Sami Hyypia's men, with Liverpool leading the charge from England, and Wolfsburg German admirers. A clause in the winger's contract, which means he can leave in the summer for just €2.5m, has made him a very attractive proposition for several clubs. And according to German daily Bild, Sam is likely to leave Leverkusen at the end of the season, with Schalke having emerged as his latest suitors.
