Oh god...WHY? Hopefully complete bull. I'd rather just play with 1 centre back.

He'll try it on tiote and will be out for a season injured

Owen had a perfectly legit goal disallowed at 0-0 too. Ref saw it was Owen and rightly said not letting that happen

Probably play right back too, most Man U players seem to have to do a stint at right back at some point in their career

I have massive reservations, as I've said in the other thread, but I also don't think we're in a position to turn down someone so highly rated so cheap. So I voted yes, with my apologies to Vuckic and Abeid and Guthrie who may all move a few steps away from first team action. Or not if he's as much of a shit as worried.

I feel sorry for Vuckic and Abeid if he comes in really, though I suppose club probably expects Cabaye and Tiote to have moved on before too long so a constant influx to be good idea

Yeah, players having a say is a terrible idea, wouldn't believe that Wenger has much truck by 'player power' so dunno where he's picked up that annoying habit.

Mancini was famous for his violent rages as a player wasn't he and has mellowed, but not by that much. Not shaking hands is silly, but like people don't secretly really enjoy the manager mini dramas.

Since it has been foreseen how about installing some kind of net / trampoline?

Would he get regular football here though? Maybe he's good enough to jump straight into our first team but how would he fit in?

We shouldn't panic about an early goal. If we can keep pressure on and keep things tight a goal should come, more likely from Ben Arfa or Cabaye I'd imagine than our strikers mind.

And yet leaves him on the bench?

Nah he's in goal, Krul in the no 10 role

He said so, though doesn't mean Pardew agrees iirc

This. I assume it's man management and thinks Obertan needs arm round shoulder and Ben Arfa needs a boot up the ass. I personally think Ben Arfa probably just needs some games.

He's yet to prove to me he's a hell of a central player, he's hell of a winger, and should still get into the box where he can pass the ball superbly on wing, just so far his running doesn't work there. I wouldn't ask him to play as a wide winger and just hit big crosses into the box, though he should mix it up sometimes.

I'd go for the same but put Cabaye in Vuckic's position and Abeid alongside Guthrie. Nothing against Vuckic but I want to see how Cabaye does in the role he had in his last club. Vuckic could come in for Abeid and Cabaye go back second half.

To be fair it's not like Ranger was worth the effort

I know

He's probably just preparing to take over at Totenham once Redknapp has gone to manage england jail
