Optimistic Nut Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 If there is any truth to this (seems a bit farfetched to make up mind), you'd think one of the midfielders were on their way out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Him + HBA would make our midfield look twice that of what it was 2 seasons ago. So would Robbie Savage and Steven Reid, in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 It was a very nice choice to have though. Speed or Acuna. I don't think I ever complained when either were selected. Acuna was a very accomplished drunk pirate. FYP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair do's haha. -------Arevalo------------ ----------------Barton----- Routledge--HBA--Jonas ------------Carroll--------- Not to bad. The pessimist inside me says one of them if not both of them won't happen like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pessimist inside me says one of them if not both of them won't happen like. Actually pretty tasty for home games. If we had anyone decent to play RB we would look alright at full strength. Still think we are after another right winger cum striker. I hope so anyway, don't really want to see Raylor, Barton or Guthrie out there if Wayne is injured or otherwise. Possible Hughton fancies Gosling out there, god knows where he would fit into the centre if we get Arevalo. Arevalo, Barton, Guthrie, Gosling, Nolan, Smith, Vuckic all fighting for two positions..

merlin Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Pretty sure Clarence Acuna was around the same age, mid 20s at least, when we got him and he did a sound job. Acuna was very underrated. Totally agree with that Mick - never understood why he was sold, played out of his skin against the Arsenal midfield in one game I remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 If I remember correctly they allowed him to return him because his Father was will, though I think they were ready to let him go anyway. He was always using the Internet Cafe in Virgin Megastore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with that Mick - never understood why he was sold, played out of his skin against the Arsenal midfield in one game I remember. vaguely remember it being something to do with being closer to his family. Agreed though. Acuna was a cracking signing at only 700k.........came from the Chilean league and did a very good job here. http://i33.tinypic.com/2v0hlxi.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Just to add - yes, Acuna was massively underrated. But not better than Speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'd actually be quite excited about our season if we had both Arevalo and Arfa. Might even crack a smile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
