I don't have a problem with people classing Barton as a DMC. He's more DMC than AMC, people call him box to box as he like to make forward runs, but also gets back to help out the defense, but it doesn't detract he's mentally built as a DMC and like to put a tackle in whenever he can. He does more defensive work than attacking work for me, so if someone wants to say he can play DMC then there shouldn't really be a problem with it, its better than calling Geremi or Solano a rightback FFS!

--------------Given--------------- Geremi--Rozy--Taylor--Edgar Milner---Butt---Barton--Zoggy -------Viduka---Martins-------

Dr Spec is gonna give you a right spanking when he gets on.

If so SA needs to seriously have a look at Royston Drenthe & Urby Emanuelson for next season. Probably get the pair for £10m.

decision expected today.

Not exactly world class but a very good player. Took a while to adapt but by the time he left he was a good EPL player. I think he signed for some Spanish team though this summer.

And improved the squad drastically! Imaging what another £50m could do if reports are true! Even the FS £15m right now would set us off for a good season.

Its the way i set them out tbf.

Scenario time. SA has done all his shopping (so we basically have 2 players for every position already) he's brought in a squad that were all happy with, then with 10 days to go, Mike Ashley announces he wants a world class or a potential world class signing brought in, in which position would you like to see this happen?

Agreed. Its not perfect, but has a lot of different options, and the same down the left would mean were almost ready for the new season.

That is the team of the future, but with Rossi and Pique will replace Ferdinand. I've heard both Rossi & Pique are to be sold this summer.

No great loss, probably seen O'Brien move on and thought he should do the same. Again good luck to the lad, he's done nowt wrong apart from come into a NUFC squad that was utter chaos, and not be able to make the grade against very difficult circumstances. Nice sell on clause and off he goes, hope a Championship team snaps him up.

Yep, was awful. Hope the lad gets back on his feet asap possible, decent player with lots of heart, Fulham & Wigan both missed him greatly last season.

Good luck to him.

The Inter away strip was officially launched yesterday, anyone know where to get it? Sports Direct is just showing a black pic with pre-order (tbh the site is shocking, one of the worst sites i've ever been on, designed by a two year old) and the official Inter shops is fuking closed!

I think for £4.5m we should sign him regardless of Owen & Martins. I feel sorry for Ameobi though, waited all this time to step out of Shearer's shadow, then the club he loves abuses his body and doesn't give him a much needed hip op, and then misses out on the season that would make or break him. Season after, multiple striking options that are better than him.

Can you blame him, its pissed down since he's got here!

At least the bloke's honest, I suppose. Nice to see that he's fully aware of his apparent major weakness and that he intends to improve on it - especially after quite a few people on here mentioned his size for a centre-half. You don't have to be physically tough when you are his size, as long as he throws himself about and commands a bit of respect he'll do fine. I guess we plan to put another stone on him in muscle which he could do with, but tbf, he could easily get by without it if he's mentally strong.

Sealed. Delivered. I'm yours

Sealed. Delivered.

Biggest fuking fanny arse of a site in internet history. http://static.arsenal-mania.com/images/oops-traffic.jpg

Fuking hell, they better hope he's good, its that higher than Henry? Good news, MArtins is staying! Just Juve to worry about now. I'm not really worried. The rumour came out over Trezeguet wanting to leave as he fell out with the board over the departure of DD, but he's now signed a new deal. Even so, out of the Country is out of mind for me. Same. Would've hated to see him going to Arsenal. I'd still be very disapointed if he went to Juve, but it would be no where near as bad as Arse. Also, isn't it possible that it has to be a club with European competition, same as with Owen? No its just a straight £13m release clause apparently.

Would do me. One of Bridge, Baines, Shorey or Twaio then a backup LB for around the £2m mark. Naldo or similar £8m+ CB and were sorted for next season.
