I would be made up if we could get Sahin - we have been crying out for a replacement for Alonso and I think he could be play that role. Allen - good all around player who can play nice short passes and keep things tickings over. But Sahin can do that but also play long balls, and incisive ones too.
Anyone hear about Banega's most recent bad luck? His Ferrari went on fire at a petrol station. Now, I ask you, of all things, do we need more bad luck?
14.11 BST: Could Liverpool look to hijack Arsenal's bid to take Nuri Sahin on loan from Real Madrid? That's what reports on Merseyside suggest. Would ****ing cream myself. Zingy get a towel.
This is the kind of gamble I think we need to take - it's not like a £20m Aquilani gamble. Could be one of the signings of the season, you never know.
at 28 should be in his prime with room to give us a few good years. Already been in the prem once so shoul dhave a decent enough understanding of it.
All in all, it gives us something different - pace on the wings and trickery, which we lack. I haven't seen too much of him but I get the impression that he is a bit of a lazy player. For him to succeed in BR's team, he needs to press and win the ball back. Is this a fair assessment of him? Hopefully I'm wrong.
He can be, but was it because he was being played out of position, frustration, style didn't fit his play? All could be asked but I think he is gamble worth taking.
I don't get this whole "played out of position" excuse. A great player will adapt to play where he is told to. Top example: Thierry Henry.
Yeah Lucas has adapted well, but Henry is the best example of a player who changed his preferred position at the club's request and became a world class player for doing it.
