Nah. He was visibly frustrated when people ignored him in good areas, and he was always asking for the ball. He did that really well, actually - moving into great positions in-between the lines.

Graeme Bailey ‏@GraemeBailey 7m Arsenal also in for a current top Premier League midfielder.... Graeme Bailey ‏@GraemeBailey 56s The PL midfielder Arsenal are in for is Yohan Cabaye. Undisclosed bid...

That's the type of selection you'd make if you were only trying to lose 3-0. Sure, he'll cover the fullback all game, but his total lack of footballing ability and willingness to provide proper offensive support will only invite huge amounts of pressure - and I don't want us to be defending more than we have to against Man City. Plus, it'll make it much harder for us to create anything. Not for me. It's the type of selection I would make if I was expecting a though match but fancied my chances to get something from if we keep things tight defensively. It would mean putting energy and determination before football ability. There's a place for that in football, and I think this is it. Besides, I think Jonas releases pressure better than somebody like Marveaux, who I would just expect to go missing in a game like this. It's not like not picking Jonas massively compromises our ability to defend. And Marveaux's an infinitely better footballer who would help us retain possession higher up the pitch and create more chances. Surely that's a more effective way to release pressure than picking someone who will just cover the fullback all game, whether or not you think he'll 'go missing' aside?

Yeah - he was their penalty taker, and he was rarely that impressive in the Premier League.

Playing Darren Bent as a number 10 will only work if the opposition don't bother turning up.

Nah - I think he can play on the wing. I don't think it's his best position, but his best games for us have come out there - Fulham (h), Anzhi (h).

He's clearly an upgrade on some of our wide options, but I think Sinclair's pretty average.

Eh? We've been given the green light by who? Aston Villa?

L'Equipe TV's still the only source for this, like. Nowt on their site.

Ben Smith ‏@BenSmithBBC 6m #LFC & West Ham agree fee in region of £15m for Andy Carroll. Player yet to decide if he wants the move. More on @BBCSport

They were 18th when Cisse left with almost no chance of staying up. He left, they imporoved and stayed up. And they also hired Streich at pretty much the same time.

Nah - they hired a better manager.

Which included games in which we definitely did not perform well - like Stoke and Wigan. But aye, whatever.
