As Vidal seems to be just another rumour (I wanted AW to play him as the DM) we need to go get Schneiderlin or Cavhalo imo
I was never hugey keen on MS as, whilst clearly a good player, I think we already have organised technical players. I want us to sign something completely different so we can mix it up a bit, namely a physical machine who can out-power the opposition like Matic, or what Viera and Keane used offer. Carvalho looks like he could fit the bill. He's raw but watching him dominating the England under 21s was quite frightening! I don't know a huge amount about him but he seems to tick all the boxes.
I have kept particular eye on Carvalho in the U21 tournament, and he is a slower more powerful version of Coquelin. He is raw. But he has all the attributes to become incredible. He still needs to work on some of his decision making. I think he would be perfect for us. He's young. He'll be ready to learn, and be hungry to fight for starting place. We will have to great shields. But I can't really see us playing with both in a game and maintaining that Arsenal fluidity. But I really like the kid.
Carvalho for me. He currently fits the bill for us, young, big, strong, powerful, a solid defender and a good passer. What more do we want?
He just missed an entire year of football, do we really want to have another player coming back from a long lay off to find their feet again? Also being out for a year, and then introducing yourself for the first time to the Premier League doesn't sound like a good idea.
For Martinez sure.
He would be an amazing signing. Not sure if Bayern will be willing to let him go though.
Do you mean out of prison?Bring Peter Storey out of retirement
Here's an interesting Q for everybody, let's say Coq never emerged last season, and we had to stick with Flamini while Arteta was out, and we managed to sign Shneid this summer, would anyone still want us to sign another DM after we got Shneid?
I think the answer in general would be no, we have always been calling for Arsenal to buy one solid DMF, not two.
But now we do have a proper out and out DMF who did the role perfectly, but people are asking for another DMF, so what's the difference? Is it because some still don't have faith in Coq?
Again, let's be honest, we have been always calling for Arsenal to buy one proper DMF, I can't recall any summer where we were like we need to buy 2, it was always one we needed, we have that one now, so why the need for 2? If we signed Shneid this season, and we didn't have Coq, I doubt people would be saying ok we need to now go buy another DMF.
