Disco Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 No way is this going to happen, move on. Agree, especially since we are very well and hold the master. That's just Google translate tbf. aren't Argie clubs broke for the most part? How can it even be taken moderately seriously Very much so, Velez aside and even then they have to sell every season.

madras Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You're the one who reckons we can't afford to buy £6m players. Anyway: I wasn't being negative, more laughing at that piece from sky. Difference between being an optimist/realistic. am i ? i thought i was the one who lost a bet to you that we'd pay more than 8million. what i have said is that we wont pay 6million for a player we don't consider worth it, i believe i used the example "i can afford to pay £10 for a cup of coffee but i won't as i think it's crap value". theres more chance us paying 10million for a 10million player than 6million for a 5million player.

Chris_R Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 We really need a winger. I'd say we need at least 2 if we're going to play 4-4-2, which seems to be Pardew's preference. The only traditional wingers we have at the moment are Jonas, Obertan and Ferguson, and it's difficult to make a case that any are good enough for the first team. Ben Arfa isn't a winger. He's great wide in a 4-3-3 but shouldn't be allowed near the wing in a 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samag Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 We really need a winger. we need to get the defence sorted, before anything else. We are conceeding far too many goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'd prefer him playing as a striker (he'd drop deep and it'd be 4-4-1-1) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If we're going to play 4-4-2 (which I'd never advocate) then Hatem has to play on the wing. There's absolutely nowhere else for him in that formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'd prefer him playing as a striker (he'd drop deep and it'd be 4-4-1-1) I've said this so much I feel dizzy, but he's wasted off the striker too. Wide in a 4-3-3 is by far his best position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I think you could try him off the striker now, he was rusty as fuck last time we tried it. Still think he's best off on the wing mind, not least because we have pretty much no other threatening players that can play there. If we had 2 or 3 winger type forwards I'd have no qualms in playing him off the striker in a 442 or 4231 or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Top of a 3-man midfield? Kinda the role Iniesta plays for us. Hatem can dribble and he can pass. But you need better widemen before you can move him to the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If we're playing with a narrow attacking 3 up front then he should be winger in that role, if we're playing with proper wide players he needs to be a no 10 behind someone who can either hold up play or feed off scraps from him, and dropping deep into a proper playmaker role. He can't keep playing as wide and as deep as he has been if we are to get the best out of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
