I'd take Lassana Diarra back in a heartbeat. For all the things he may have said/done while he was here, he's a very good player and would strengthen our midfield.

Would his ego let him come back? I don't think so.

L Diarra would be a rival or replacement of Song thou

M Diarra can play next to Cesc with Song behind them, a much bigger force going forward

I don't see why he can't play alongside Song/Cesc, IMO.

Also, he'd be great cover for Song. We've seen how easily our midfield crumbles without Song, and I think L. Diarra would be a great addition the the squad.

We have more pressing issues though, and I'd like our GK and defense sorted out first, then worry about "secondary" issues like a backup to Song. Nevertheless, I think he'd do well here.

It definitely won't happen though.

I dunno I think the 3d man in the midfield is unresolved

if Gallas stays we do have the CD pair for the starting XI

if no goalie comes in we are stuck with Aluminium

 

[mo50]

Gallas is in all likelihood gone. Our third midfield, while not perfect, does not require urgent care, sadly the same cannot be said about our goalkeeping situation, and our defense in general.

I'd sort out the back five before looking forward to anymore signings. A CB or 2 (whether Sol resigns) and a GK and I'd be happy with the summer. Then we can look at the Diarra's of this world for our midfield.

If Cesc does leave....id take Van der Vaart in a heartbeat.He seems to have a blind understanding with RVP too.

Top quality player.

 

[clockwork orange]

He's top notch, but very injury prone. Also he recently stated he wants to stay at Real.

 

[Anzac]

Will be interesting to see who Moanrinho deems as surplus to requirements. I wonder if Perez will get his wish to see Higuain gone, and if they'll persist with Benzema.

 

[SA Gunner]

Diarra is the only player Id want from Madrid.

Actual replacement for Song and better yet can play alongside Cesc to give him that extra freedom.

Would be a solid addition if he is brought back.

 

[truth_hurts]

Both Diarras, Higuain and Benzema are Mourinho type players so they may still have a future there.

With the season Cambiasso has had for Inter, I see Mourinho bringing him to Madrid.

Thinking the likes of Maicon, Cambiasso, Sneijder, Millito will be following him, his usual style.

 

[Humble Rex]

Yeah, just like lots of players from Chelsea came with him to Inter. Oh, wait...

Did Mourinho leave Chelsea in glory like he left Porto? Like he left Inter?

Oh wait.

 

[Humble Rex]

First of all Mourinho left Chelsea because they have an idiot for president. As far as I am aware the players very much wanted him to stay.

Secondly, you can´t exactly compare Porto to Inter. One club is at best a second tier European club and the other is a genuine European powerhouse. Inter don´t need to sell, and would be quite stupid to let keyplayers leave. Not very likely to happen in my opinion.

Kinda like United, who are a powerhouse and were not "quite stupid" to let their key player leave.

Oh wait..

The difference is that Man U have a massive debt thanks to their owners that they are desperately trying to deal with. They actually needed to sell at that price. It is not a coincidence that most of the Ronaldo money hasn´t been reinvested in the squad.

Look, no need to have a stupid argument over a silly thing like this. You think Mourinho will take several players with him from Inter to Madrid, I don´t. Let´s just wait until the transfer window closes.

Then you can apologize...

I take it the Humble is ironic. :wink:

 

[Humble Rex]

Quite right.

Yeah the more of that team he keeps together the better the chances of achieving something. He may look to strengthen the defence/back4 and install some tactical discipline.

 

[KY]

...and the first thing he'd do is sign Gallas on a free...

 

[AnthonyG]

I wonder if other forums have an "Arsenal's castoffs..." thread? They probably got locked (out of fear) as soon as someone noticed Silvestre's name in the list.
