I don't blame him for wanting to go to Barcelona, it's a great city: beautiful architecture, fantastic bars and restaurants, comfortable benches...
Our strikers have yet to gel. Yes pod missed some good chances and Giroud missed a sitter but this was their first game in the pl.
Also I must add diaby was not exactly great In that position And despite having the better chances we at no point had taken control of the game by the scruff of the neck. In the long run unless song is replaced we will suffer a lot.
Watching Spurs vs Newcastle, Tiote looks like he could do a job for us. He's fiery and committed, something we need.
My worry is we either wont get anyone as a replacement (which obviously is not good) or well just get sahin (who is not a DM and would only be temporary as he will only be on loan...). I can easily see either happening. IMO Mvila is needed now.
We need a DM. Whilst i like Cabaye, he wouldn't be needed, we have arteta in his position, and arteta>>Cabaye.
We do need a DM, but it can be cancelled out with two 'Arteta' type players, and Cabaye can do that job, I think Cabaye is better than Arteta as well personally. It's only a mtter of time before he makes his move to Man City. He's probably the best CM in the league.
He is, not at the defensive role that Arteta plays, but in the more advanced box to box role, he definitely is. He's so underrated for some reason. Immense player.
