No thank you. Would cost a ridculas amount to get him here, even more to pay his wages. Why not just sign Bentley whos got a future in the game, if we are that good at "luring" stars.

If Riise is still only 27 then he's still got plenty left in him. He's not a poor player by any stretch, seems like he's gone a bit stale at Liverpool TBH. I thought someone saying playing him as a DM is quite a good idea but not before buying an actually one.

Argueable, not obvious. He also just joined Chelsea.

Why would we move Faye from his best position to accomadate other players? Should leave Faye and Taylor at CB and not mess about. I believe Faye to be not only our best CB but also our best DM, therefore it wouldn't be accomodating but playing.

Hes definately not worth that money. Id pay 10 for him, not more. For 17 mil we could just aswell go for some real star quality like Van der Vaart or Diego Yup. I've got a feeling we will be fleeced by every premiership club for prices though. Due to the fact we are loaded and it's January.

If we fail to sign a concrete DM i could see the advantage of signing Van Buyten as we could then switch Faye into DM and play Van Buyten and Taylor at centre half.

I agree, the difference in the passing range was incredible. We got the ball on the floor and made an attempt to play football, it was like a Keegan era in its infancy. We got all the basics right, we just severely lack any cutting edge.

we need a dominant CB True. If he comes through the door it needs to be followed closley by a couple of midfield passers.

I always have used 6. Papers often use 5 for their average, due to the negative approach most papers take.

Wouldn't mind Van Buyten but we need attacking players.

If your average is 4 then thats an excellent post. If it isn't, then your just doing your usual attention seeking.

I'm 50/50 on Carrick. I believe Fergy rates him but not quite as highly as Hargreaves and Anderson. I think if we equalled their bid i.e 16/17m i think we'd just about get him. However, is that not abit steep? He's a great passer of the ball but doesn't give a great deal of attacking guile or isn't that good a DM. I'd love him to come here as i believe he would be a great addition and certainly a KK type player. Think of what we could get for 16/17m though.

You see when he puts it like that it fills me with hope. It's no surprise he's such a fantastic motivator TBH.

I cant believe how many people would be against us signing Ashton. Fair enough his injury record hasnt been great but he's a class player. If we could get him fit he would be a major asset.

In todays market i'd give them 16m for Carrick but we cannot just stop there, that would be suicide.

The daily star.

It was like watching football vs rugby yesterday.

Kranjar, Arteta, Cahill, Flamini, Arca etc is the sort we need.

Is there any regular SPL fans who can give us the low down on this lad?All i know is that he is nearly 30 baffling TBH.

Wey aye get him on the wing against arsenal, we have nowt to lose. He might just upset a few gooners.

How olds Cahill these days? Either way i would sign Arteta or Cahill from Everton to play in the centre and Bentley on the right.

Me too. I'd very much like someone in the middle of the park too though. I love the way we are all talking about Bentley as if we have been linked. I haven't heard one link to him yet.
