We are going through a difficult period and we need experienced players to help us get back to the top. I'm all for using youngsters but only in the right environment. This is BR's first real competitive match and it's important we get off to a good start to help build momentum. I know the experienced lads failed us last season but I still feel more 'secure' knowing they are on the pitch rather than youngsters. It's better to use the youngsters when confidence is high amongst the whole squad, we're winning and playing good football.
Looks like Cazorla is going to Arsenal. Will be nice to see him in the PL, but gutted it isn't for us (he was briefly linked last year, on the recommendation of Pepe.) I hope we go for Isco, as it looks like Malaga are having a firesale. Great prospect at 20, and we could probably get him for < £10m. They got him for 6m euros last year.
Indeed or Rondon ( Fwd) or I know he is older but Joaquin, I have always liked him but feel he was one who didn't quite live up to the potential. Monreal is another if we need a RB. speaking of potential....
i would gladly take his as well.... also, like someone said earlier, glad to see someone of the ilk of Cazorla in the prem, but can't help but think he should have been with us.
Arsenal could be very strong even if Van Persie leaves. -----------Fabianski---------- -Sagna--?????-Vermarlen-???- ------Wilshere---Arteta------- -Walcott-------------Cazorla- ---------------Podolski------- ----------Giroud-------------- I still question there back 4 though. As well as squad depth.
I've said before, I think Arsenal are a strong team. Plenty, including myself started to write them off last season. Top 4 is going to be ****ing hard to get over the next few seasons.
If Arsenal pull this off, then we better hope that United slip up.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19086404 Cazorla and Sahin? Not sure if many of you ahve seen him play but he was so key to the first DOrtmund team that won the title, only 22-23 and a wand of a left peg.
Yeh they'd be instantly strengthened. They'll get injuries though, and they still haven't sorted their defence out.
We said the same about United last year and they just, merely seconds away from winning the title. What burns me is that I ****ing rate Sahin, Cazorla, and Podolski so high and they are playing for a team because they have CL. I know it sounds bitter but those are the quality I wish we could still get.
Sickening isn't it. It feels like the top 4 are pulling away. I guess we will be battling with Spurs and Newcastle for 5th place.
To be fair United might need to watch it a bit as well, my pre-season pick for them of 3rd might change up if they aren't plugging some of the holes up. Then again, they always ****ing find a way. I just want us to have a respectable year in the league again.
lets see them actually buy those players though.... seems to me a lot depends on rvp moving a week boefr ethe seaosn starts sit eht ime for this, not quite yet.
Apparently RVP to Juve is pretty much agreed and wrapped up. I think they knew he was off for a while hence Podolski and Giroud coming in. I think the Cazorla thing is Malaga somehow going into some serious debt? If it happens though, I think we talked about this mito, there are some good players we can get from there, Isco, Rondon, Monreal, Toulalan
a juve paid agent said the rvp thing was tied up. i think thats more pot stirring and in fairness to rvp and arsenal they've not entered the fray. I think pololski was got to replace arshavin on the left myself. Malaga have seemingly imploded haivng being called the next man city.. its interesting but we'll see what pickings are on their carcass and if arsenal can get any.. the thing is... like it or not or admit it or not the arsenal fans can't deny they are a very big payer of wages so i'd not be shocked if they were paying 150k per week here.
