Realistically though, he's not going to get many games unless Maicon is injured, but would he expect to have many more here outside of the Carling Cup? I don't see an offer that we could make him that would tempt him away from Inter short of the financial.
All that said, I think he'd be a decent buy if Eboue leaves, and he could very easily surpass Sagna in a couple of seasons.
Fair point, but we wouldn't be bringing him in as LB cover surely? If he got game time with us, it'd be deputising for Sagna I'd imagine
Edit: regarding strikers, I think its the whole "RVP may or may not stay fit, Eduardo is as of yet unproven regarding fitness and most pundits don't rate Bendtner" mindset that leads to them understimating our attack. WHile #1 is valid, #2 will hopefully be disproved and #3 is total nonsense
