David28 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I don't think we'll sign Raul btw. But if that was the case, I wouldn't be happy about it. Exactly the type of player we shouldn't sign imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 howay man, ben arfa isnt COMPLETELY unrealistic. unlikely yes, but its definitely possible. i don't understand this ultra-pessimism.....lets just see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Arevalo was massively impressive during the World Cup, complete dynamo. Hopefully there's something in that one, but I won't hold my breath. Was he the long haired one who played very similar to Jonas but with an end product. (i know ive just described most offensive south americans) Just seen his pic on the link. Aggressive centre midfielder, in the mould of Mascherano is a more apt description i think I hope this is true. He sounds far more like what we need than that French poser.

Teasy Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Nah man it goes: Rumours of Ben Afra joining spread, despite evidence that points to the contrary. Most are rightly sceptical but a select few go a bit overboard. Similar rumours of him joining Milan begin to spread. The select few desperately cling to straws rubbishing any source that carries the Milan rumour, despite the fact sources no more reliable than those initially linked us with the player. How much time did you waste typing up that inaccurate summary? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No chance" is what you call discussing? Ok. "discussing" and "discussing the possibility of an 11m or so player coming to us" are 2 very different things if you want to discuss a la football manager then fair enough, but to discuss in the realms of reality then the "no chance" merchants are on the money to be fair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It's not beyond the realm of realistic scenarios that Ben Arfa or Raul could end up here tbh. It's not very likely whatsoever, but it's not 100% impossible. Which means there's room for discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Would take Bougherra & Davis. Was Bougherra the guy that was constantly linked with us the past 3 summers, each time he said we would be a backwards step? Will probably get him this time! Be a decent signing if the price is right, can cover in midfield too right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If Ben Arfa is not first choice at Marseille he is not going to be first choice at AC Milan. We are perfect for him as he can re-invent himself with guarateed first team football. I think we have more chance than people think. We are at the point in time where we are a stepping stone, albeit one with the potential backing, facilities and resources of a title challenger. Players who have been lost in their careers the last couple of years, especially those under 25 are perfect for us, and we are perfect for them. A couple of good years for us and they could get their dream move, or even better they will have propelled us to the top table again and want to stay as they are offered hero status!
