taxfree Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 From francefootball.fr - Quote The arrival of Kevin Mirallas to Everton should be formalized in the coming hours. According to our information, the English club have paid € 7.5 million to secure the services of the Belgian striker of Olympiakos , which then end up Marouane Fellaini, his partner selection. Arsenal followed also courted by Arsenal The former Lille have favored Toffes to get more playing time on offense. After meeting the traditional medical visit, he will sign a contract prior four years. For its part, the Greek club in exchange recover midfielder Ross Barkley, loaned for a season option. Should be a good signing for them, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been linked with Cheik M'Benge (Spelling?) in the press over the past day or so. Weren't we linked with him last year? M'Bengue is a left back, though. Not an alternative to Tiote, but definitely better than Andre Santos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 They'll end up with Sahin, Arteta, Wilshere, Rosicky, Cazorla and Ramsey, with only Frimpong and Coquelin as players who can sit in front of the back four. Both are far from proven so Wenger should really go out for M'Vila at all costs. Not that Wenger ever does what he should though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sahin is a different type of player to Song but I don't think he's particularly worse. Good replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree, they've lost RVP and Song but gained Podolski, Carzola, Giroud and Sahin. If those signings work out then I think they'll do pretty well. Exactly Podolski than anyone they played on the left season, Cazorla is better than Ramsey or Rosicky, Sahin is better than Song. Ok RVP is better than Giroud but the rest of the team is much better. As for a stopper, that only is relevant if they play direct and back to front, but if they play a possession game they don't need one. If you look at the majority of the best teams most of them don't have a destructive force in front of the back 4, it's simply not where football is going. Arsenal's problem is organisation, pressing and overall off the ball defensively as a whole team not any individuals IMO. If they can improve their organisation, pressing and overall off the ball defensive work as a team they will do well, but that's been the case for years. They have good individual defensive players but Wenger just doesn't seem focused on making them work as a unit and no player will magically fix that IMO.
