Fenham Mag Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Dutch source VI now also reporting we've bid for Anita (chief editor live on telly) http://us5.memecdn.com/Excellent_c_80715.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I would be over the moon if we pull this one. For me DM is he most important position we need to cover in. I said it earlier and I say it now as well. With so many yellow cards for Tiote and African cup of nations we need an able deputy. I also like us to play with 2 DM when we play away to the bigger guys... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Guthrie's replacement sorted if this happens... £5M-£7M spent on a replacement for Guthrie seems just very strange though. Yeah i think Amalfitano is Guthrie's replacement..... this is more a quality addition to the squad that can play DM and in both fullback positions. Disagree from what little i've seen of both... Amalfitano appears more of an attacking midfielder so replaces Lovenkrands for me whereas Anita seems to player deeper... Either way they both look like technical upgrades...

Are you seriously suggesting Anita would be a Guthrie replacement as in a mere squad player for us? Why would he leave Ajax where he is a guaranteed starter and in the CL to sit on our bench? Also, can't see us spending >10m on a "Guthrie replacement". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Have now basically switched off from any transfer talk, both in's and out's. There is so much bullshit being written on a daily basis that I've chosen not to believe any of it. If it happens then it happens, think we'll be ok on Sept 1st.

Not sure where he would fit into first eleven considering the positions he plays are currently held by our better players... Maybe more competition for Jonas and to rotate with Tiote/Cabaye when unavailable... As for a £10m fee I can't see it myself... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I don't really see why he has to be anyones direct replacment. That would be assuming we have balanced numbers in the squad in this first place. Players come and go, there not always related to one another. However if we do sign this lad, I would have to question Tiotes future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been another top club i would see them pairing them in a 4-2-3-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 On the other hand, if we do sell Tiote, we won't have spend the rest of the summer wondering if we will replace him. Its not that I want to be negative, just that I see it as the most likely outcome. Both Man Utd and Chelsea have been linked to him, the signs aren't good.

Man U can't afford him. Chelsea have enough physical presence in the midfield. They need flair, creativity and speed. To utilize HBA most efficiently I think Pards will go for a 4-3-3 formation next season. Anita will play together with Tiote, he's not his replacement.
