I just think we'd spend too much time haggling for it to happen, we'd never pay a record price for someone like Fellaini and I think we would probably have to.I like him, he is a pure scrote, just like Tiote - although I do wonder if teams really need them. Granted, nearly every team does.Originally Posted by Bergkampwonderland10
Screech is much better than Tiote though. He's also huge and could double up as a striker. And a defender.
Do not forget we have also Feillaini who can play there.
Sounds good.

I think Sahin completes our business for Midfield....I'm not entirely sure I'm that comfortable with a midfield full of Technical players but maybe Arsene sees Sahin as an upgraded version of Flamini which Jack basically is anyway.
We might bring in one more body for defence, presumably a project or an experienced head who is happy to sit on the bench and babysit the Carling Cup team. M'Vila I think is off the radar, he'll go to either the Spuds or Zenit.

Yeah, pretty much.
Though has AW ever told the truth?
You watch. We'll sign a fuckin striker tomorrow.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Be very pleased if we get Sahin, as above doesn't seem to be much defensive strength in there, but maybe Sahin can adapt? If he turns out good I hope we can sign him permanently.
I think Arteta is going to be our new muscle man. He goes in hard with tackles.
I find it hard to imagine Arteta as our midfield enforcer, he's always been a creative player or certainly was for Everton. Out of the current group I guess he's probably our best defensive option.
Interesting that AW is considering a defender as well, are we looking at a utility player or full back (can't be a CB surely)?
^^ I agree regarding Arteta, i dont understand wengers refusal to just play players where they are at their best and i dont think that Arteta is a natural DM. A defender is needed for sure, Vertonghen(sp) would have been ideal, cb and could cover lb.
To be fair our scouts need to be doing a bit better in my opinion...Newcastle were tipped off by none other than Steve Mclaren regarding Tiote...and they'v managed to sign him for 4million, Santon 3 million, Ben Arfa for 6million, Cisse, 7million, Ba free, Cabaye 6million, Krul 1million, ....pretty much all for less than the price of 1 Andy Caroll...Our scouts need to do better!!!!
