Gabriel Obertan signs for Anzhi

We'll see who has the biggest impact on the day. I'd be surprised if Cabaye imposes himself and I like Guti, he runs all day, has good work rate and holds the ball up so well but I still think Obes is more likely to create goalscoring opportunities than him

I am pretty sure all the hype in this post will turn sour after a few matches.  Obertan is an useful player but man if he is that talented he won't be released by Alex...

 

He sold Rossi and Pique because there were better players ahead of them.

I'd drop either Guti or Cabaye for the game. I'd play Obertan on the left if Guti was out of the team and Obes on the right if Cabaye was out of the team. I'm really looking forward to seeing Cabaye develop but I think in this game the pace will be too much for him to impose his passing game. Obertan is the perfect player in this game for counterattacks

 

Thank god you're not the manager then  :lol:

 

Seriously though, our strongest area of the pitch is midfield and we should be looking to overrun them. For that to happen we need to have Jonas and Cabaye on the pitch, with Tiote, Barton, and potentially Obertan/Marveaux if we play 5 in the middle.

 

Jonas is undroppable at the minute in my opinion. His work rate is great, and he's a great outlet.

 

Dropping Cabaye or Jonás, have a word fella.

We'd be mad not to start Obertan imo.

 

this, same midfield as arsenal but obertan and ba up front to exploit the space

 

we'd beat them with that team imo, if we play 10 men from the start (shola) it'll be a struggle i reckon

 

Gotta play shola against Sunderland!

I think Obertan could serve a better purpose coming off the bench when Sunderland players start to tire.

 

I agree, he even rattled the Arsenal defense a few times with his pace and acceleration. Perfect man to put on when legs are getting tired

I'd choose Ferguson ahead of Raylor.

No, we don't. As perfectly demonstrated in January.

You will actually find we do as it is written into his new contract.

Definitely this. Though if Ferguson is fit enough, I'd start him ahead of Raylor.
