Mathieu Valbuena

Apparently close to completing a deal.

Would be a quality signing , had a very impressive world cup.

Seems too good to be true, then here TF saying been no bids after caulker deal, is he bluffing or what?
 
The reason Green played ahead of Cesar was not based on quality, but other issues. Valbuena is better than his equivalent of Phillips or Hoilett

I got the impression whilst watching Valbuena at the WC that he's a skilful play-maker as opposed to a pacy winger?

I'm confused about this, I thought he was played on the wing in the absence of Ribery. According to Wiki he is 'an attacking midfielder and a winger', so both seems to be the answer.

His legs are almost as short as Gerd Muller's. Which could be a recommendation in itself. Low centre of gravity = hard to knock down.

I stand corrected.

Maybe they played a fluid 3 behind the striker, of which he was one and they switched about.
I certainly like the look of him.
 
Wow this seems to unanimous !!

Therefore too good to be true ?

TF did bring in Remy, so he must have a silver tongue !!! Maybe just, maybe
