Better than Santon I'm pretty sure Cisse would be a better LB

Ah well, 3m is still 3m more than you should pay.

Do not question the motives of Pardiola everything he does is faultless.

12m what? :spit:

Yeah tbf you are right most tabloid papers are similar to that but they really are a laughing stock i'll be shocked if anything they say turns out to be true. Although Cabaye is right, some interest might actually force us into making an offer so it might not be all bad but i doubt it's true simply because of who it's from.

LMAO, putting my relegation bet on now

No one can say no to Pards, chillax.

Nah only Tuttosport, they are a joke. Constantly making up transfer rumors as "done deals" If they had any reliability at all then Juventus would have Alonso, Benzema, Aguero, Dzeko, Hummels, Cole, Alves, De Rossi all playing for them. They make The Sun look like the BBC. I'll BRB with an image of all their so called exclusive done deals which never happened.

Luckily Tuttosport are about as reliable as my left foot.

Glad i'm not the only one who decided to read this thread for the sole purpose of some mrs bimby stories

I think his agent would have let us known about his demands before any fee was agreed, we wouldn't have gone this far down if wages were going to be a problem.

Even if they had agreed a fee, he would reject them instantly.

From Geoff_Arsenal as it goes and he's very reliable as twitter guys go.

Yep, Livermore and Jenas will do me nicely. I'd be playing Sandro and Huddlestone if I were AVB. Assuming Sandro is back with the squad. So would i, although i don't think Sandro is back my post was more in hope as that was the midfield 2 they used in thier last pre season game. Any Spurs fans know how Huddlestone has been doing? i always liked him but unfortunately injuries have pretty much halted any progress.

Reckon we might see a lot of fringe players for this, 48 hrs between two games is ridiculous quite frankly. No problem though..... http://zipmeme.com/uploads/generated/g1344875921767880440.jpg

Tiote is a doubt, but other than that the rest are fit currently but with internationals midweek that could change.....

Duncan Castles reckons M'Vila is the replacement for Modric apparently

Tbf my opinion of Sahin was based on his performances for Dortmund, i hardly watched him for Madrid i think i only saw him play once actually

4-3-3 was just an example, obviously the wide berths in the front 3 would be taken up by forwards more than wingers. If i bring up every system we could possibly use i'd say in 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2 he would be better as a CM but in 4-4-2 he's better as a winger, but overall i prefer him in the middle as his skillsets as a player fits that role better IMO.

I know that, but Arsenal's needs are completely different though as well they don't need a big physical DM in thier system they need defensively solid CM's like Sahin that are complete in most area's of the pitch ala Arteta etc etc. I personally feel Arsenal's problems are not personnel but a system issue, when i watch them defensive cover and defensive positioning is the main reason they concede so many IMO. Take us for example defensively off the ball we give a lot of cover to our defence and everyone covers each others backs i don't see this at Arsenal and one of the main reasons i see Arsenal falling short. I also consider this a system issue and not a personnel issue, i don't think M'Vila would magically change anything. The only real position i consider "weak" is fullbacks, Sagna aside i think they are really poor, the reason CB's look fragile IMO is the cover the rest of the team give them not on actual ability. But again i don't think buying anyone would magically change that, they need to install better and effective pressing and off the ball defensive cover for the defense more than anything tbh. I don't want to use this example, but what's the difference between Barca and Arsenal defensively? it isnt because you have more physical players its because you are miles ahead in pressing and overall off the ball cover, that is Arsenal's main issue IMO not a lack of a destroyer.

Agree with that, my basis was on the scenario we go with a different system like 4-3-3 where he's a better midfielder in that system than he his a winger.

Hopefully it doesn't happen before Saturday. Would be madness to field him this Saturday if the transfer came through. Yeah i know, i'm just hoping for as weak as possible team from Spurs. As for Arsenal they are getting Sahin they don't need M'Vila.
