Optimistic Nut Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 To be honest, "very high" for a little club in Ligue 1 I'd imagine is probably no more than maybe €6m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 "A very high offer", sorry can't believe that Do we need another CM though? yes if they want to play the midfield 3 like i think they want. anyone know if this kid is left pegged ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Yeah if we want to play 4-3-3, then guess he'd be a welcome addition though I would like to see Guthrie/Vuckic in a midfield 3 first.

Interesting. Yeah if we want to play 4-3-3, then guess he'd be a welcome addition though I would like to see Guthrie/Vuckic in a midfield 3 first. vuckic can't (so far, i know it's early) do the work in the middle, even the defensive positioning and guthrie, for all he's played well, can't play leftish and i'm still not so sure he can do it often enough to be in the first XI. i thought the idea behind going for barnetta was along these lines, why we weren't so desperate to get another striker and the reasoning behind marveaux and ben arfa.

madras Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Don't forget the Mehdi. no doubt but we need more than just the first XI. and also options to change it if necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Guthrie could do a job as part of a midfield three. His left foot, whilst he is reluctant to use it, is still decent like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnetta ain't a lefty mind. played central and on the left a fair bit, also DCM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 From a little internet research it seems he plays behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1, likes a long shot, is poor defensively and is Dijon's top scorer with 7 in 18 matches. He was also playing in the fifth division of french football two seasons ago and this is his first in the top flight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
