    Just found out that Arsenal tried to sign him in the summer, but we took too long with the negotiations.

    Do not think we need anymore wide players at the moment. We have Jonas, Ben Arfa, Obertan, Marv (back in March), Fergie and Sammy are young players who can also play out wide

    But, when players like Elia become available, we should snap them up

    I disagree.

    Obertan is ****, Marv + Sammy injured. Wouldn't hurt to have someone that seems pretty good.

    Obertan = Crap
    Marveaux = 2 months away from return
    Sammy = God knows how long he's injured
    Ferguson = Not ready yet.

    Elia is better than Jonas. maybe level with HBA.

    Then if we do get him we should offload one of them. I think in a squad you should have two players per position and we have Jonas, Ben Arfa, Marv and Obertan; two RMs and 2 LMs so I think we should get rid of one if we sign him. I also doubt we will just sign him on loan, if it is a loan then it should have a clause to buy at the end of the loan.

    If it were to happen, then it would show what direction we're headed in, a quality player.

    Elia in, Ober out. Perfect. Not sure what formation we'd be playing. we have Ba and Cisse up top so wont go 4231.

    That is another point about getting him. How are we meant to fit in Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas, Ben Arfa, Elias, Cisse, Ba, all first team players, into a formation?

    I believe Elia can operate as a CAM too, i'm sure he occasionally played there for Hamburg. Unless it was Pitroipa? Ah, they were too similar, couldn't tell them apart (playing style wise, not appearance)

    It gives you strength in depth, something every team aspiring to be big should have.

    Maybe we just want a great squad that can start pushing for trophies :)

    Not all have to play - we can rotate.
