sounds feasible , i heard that they wanted Ramsey up front to play with Bale .......... I wouldnt be averse to that deal .
Apparently Wenger said Giroud's ankle did not look very good. If he's injured then Wenger may be forced t dip in for a striker. Hopefully a DM, Manolas and it'd probably be Bony if we do buy a forward.
Definitely need a strong athletic DM or Box to Box player. Flamini is tenacious but lightweight and gets caught out of position a lot, Arteta is slow as a golf cart. Cavani and Khedira please Le Boss.
I think we could do with a proper DM now, one that's capable of playing CB. One thing I've noticed is that at set pieces we don't have guys on the posts, maybe Wenger is thinking that by taking the guys off the posts we have more men in the box to to increase our chances of winning the ball, so perhaps with a bit more of a specialist in the air we can make that system work. It's risky but if we get it right it'll be fine. Carvalho seems like a suitable candidate. Add a CB for backup which seems like it's going to be like Manolas and our squad is pretty stacked for all challenges. The only change I'd make after that is adding a top forward, I'm not sure if it's going to happen though, hopefully it does. In an ideal world we'd sell Podolski - high wages and average performances - and get someone like Cavani, Falcao or Reus. I certainly think we have the money to do all that.
Ancelotti is being quoted as saying that Khedira has been given permission to leave the club, so he "doesn't care where he goes".
The "where he goes" is out of context. He didn't mean club, the question from the reporter was something about his actual physical location... i.e. he went to Germany or something. Ancelotti just said he had permission to go.
some sunday papers saying that Podolski going out on loan and not being sold. it seems AW didn't want Balotelli [perhaps too much hassle] but just hope we don't go for ****ing Welbeck. lets push the boat out and get Cavanni as he would be awesome. wouldn't mind a cheeky bid for Torres or even adding Eto'o
Let's be honest ... any player who needs a clause assuring good behaviour inserted into his contract is someone we don't want to go near with a barge pole.
Strange that Ancelotti has said he's staying in Madrid http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/24/sami-khedira-real-madrid-carlo-ancelotti
No reliable sources but Gustavo is the name currently doing the rounds. Getting to the point where if that doesn't happen then I'd settle for Alex Song! We can't go another season with Flamteta as first choice!!!
We forget that Diaby will be fit soon* and hence will be like having a "new signing". *not sure when that will be. And of course AW won't buy a new DM because of his imminent return, and as sure as night follows day Diaby will get injured again and won't return this season.
This basically highlights the fact that we are screwed if Giroud gets injured at anytime, quality DM and CF required this season other wise questions need to be asked ,ffs we finished seven points behind the PL winners you would think after getting that close that the club would be going all out to bridge the gap,can't see it happening though Wenger is just too conservative in his ways.
Unless we make some signings before the window closes, it will be pretty much the same old story from last season and many others, not strengthening positions that need to be properly strengthened, and thus handicapping ourselves for the upcoming season. It's clear we still need at least 2 players minimum, 3 max, with a striker, a DMF, and a CB.
