    I bet JV will be delighted at the prospect at that..... NOT!

    Did he not state his preferred position was CB, and he was only happy to fill in at LB if required.

    I'm here - ready and waiting for some front page updates.

    If I don't make any more updates - considering this is the final day and all - been a fun Summer with you guys - nearly 400 pages of utter dross. <laugh>

    The season starts for real after today...

    I suppose it depends how good Chiriches turns out to be Roo. We may need to play centre backs out of position to accommodate them all. Not everyone will agree but I rate Benny higher as a left back than Vertonghen.

    That crossed my mind but a) he doesn't want to play at LB regularly and b) he's far better centrally. It wouldn't be the best decision by AVB if he did in terms of building the squad but I'd prefer Verts at LB than Rose!

    That would make us even flatter than we are now. Practically zero wing play with no overlapping runs by the full backs and no pace. No thanks!

    Kaboul can get up and down. The game he got injured a couple of years ago, where hutton came on for him at half time and scored, kaboul had spent the first half covering the whole right flank.

    not a serious option, just poking fun at how crap our full backs are at defending.

    Bankrolled by government. Only 26% unemployment in Spain.

    Has Ozil signed or is he waiting 'til 10.59pm in case there's a better offer? Arsenal have tipped every last penny out of the piggy bank - what more can they do?

    If AVB insists on sticking to his 4-3-3 formation, especially with 2 holding midfielders as Capoue/Sandro and on recent evidence, Paulinho seems more defensive than I would have expected, we need wing play and that can only come from the full backs now. Chadli doesn't look like providing much and Townsend can't be our only option. Let's hope Lamela and Eriksen turn out to be as good as the hype suggests!

    Try over 50% youth unemployment. The country is broke!

    Jan is very good at LB but miles better at CB. So I hope not.

    Shaw/ Criscito/ Baines/ Coentrao... Surely we can get one of them?! Probably too late now actually.

    I love an atttacking full back but not sure I want to see anymore of Danny rose and his hip swivel Lol

    But walker I actually want to stay in the team, I just hope he becomes more aware of his defensive duties, although its probably too late to learn how to defend,

    It's ridiculous that they can spend over £100 million net in one transfer window and nothing happens about it.

    I think Walker has actually been a lot better this season defensively.

    I was probably his biggest critic last season so for me to saying this he must be doing something right lol. Still needs to work on his crossing but I think he's been a far cry from the **** we saw last season.

    Haha, wouldn't even say "at times". I think in his 40 odd appearances, he had about 8 good games!
