we need another central midfielder

[12twelve]

obviously with all these fixtures coming up, just Stevie and Xabi will not be enough. is there anyone we could bring in ala Gary Mac for short term cover?

[Rimbeux]

Aurellio

[Conor]

Bolo was injured on the 25th of November. And the said 4-6 weeks so expect him to be back shortly in the new year. Personally I think that they should be able to cope. And if we are beating teams with a good bit of time on the clock, he will probably take that opportunity to rest either one of them with Guthrie coming off the bench or Carra moving up to midfield..

 

And as Rimbeux said.. Aurelio can also play in there. He's a nice passer of the ball.

[RafaShanks]

The Sheriff?

Don't panic mr mannering

Barton supposedly has a £5.5M clause.

Won't be much use if he's suspended all the time.

And give some money too Willie McCvnt. No thanks.

plus he's not much of a footballer.

[Gunga Din]

we have Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, and Zendan for 2 positions in there. we are well covered. we cant be going about having a half dozen players for each position on the off chance we get a spate of injuries for the same position, all at the same time

thank f*ck it is these two who are still fit.

 

I think we need a replacement for xabi by the way

[Cam]

Feck "who's available". Pick a player, buy his club, transfer him to us for nowt.

For that money (plus some more, like Pongolle?) we could probably get Bodmer who seems to be a very good player. Barton is not much better then Zenden. He's just british and expensive.

How about Zapater, we were linked with him in the summer. Anyone know much about him?

No! DONT DO IT, RAFA! STAY AWAY FROM THE FRENCH LEAGUE.

 

If they've gone somewhere else and done it then ok but not straight from the French League ever again.

Yeah only brits will do it. After all, England is the inventors of football and was champions of the world 40 years ago...

To get a classy player from the UK we're talking at least 10-15 millions. Carrick was what, 18? And he's not even what I would call a classy player. So I don't see what's wrong with a player froma different league. We have a manager who should be able to handle it. Wenger doesn't give a toss where his players come from and I don't think he's players are too bad. Offcourse, if there IS a british player available at the right price and we can get him I also prefer to pick him instead of a foreign based player if they are identical in their footballing skills. But that is not reality and therefore I prefer that we get the best players, whatever the nationality, that we can afford.

[Knox_Harrington]

I'd have Barton.

[Benzo-13]

Seconded..

[_00_deathscar]

Thirded.

[Nerik]

Guthrie?

What are you on about you mumbling wreck? I didnt even mention signing only British players or even anything of the sort.

 

Ranting about something that hasnt even been said, quality reading.

[CaptainXabi]

I think Barton would be an excellent buy for 6M (if buyout clause is true).
