The Wish List

[Biggus]

Where/how would he fit in?

Instead of Denilson of course.

 

[Anzac]

Where/how would he fit in?

Instead of Denilson of course.

Cahill's no more of a defensive player than Denilson.

 

[Biggus]

Well he's a tougher tackling midfielder, you can't really afford a purely defensive midfielder when you only have four in there everyone has to pull their weight- Denilson doesn't, you should appreciate that Anzac.

 

[Macho]

Cahill is someone we definately can do without right now. I usually agree with ya Biggus but on this occasion no way.
Not to replace Denilson anyways.

 

[Anzac]

Well he's a tougher tackling midfielder, you can't really afford a purely defensive midfielder when you only have four in there everyone has to pull their weight- Denilson doesn't, you should appreciate that Anzac.

I just see Cahill at his best operating off the ball, he'd love someone like Cesc to supply him, which is what he has at Everton with Arteta. I agree that he's tough, just hadn't considered him in that role.

 

[kamikaze80]

anyone know of any essien-type CMs? i'll have one of those, though they seem to be a dying breed. and an intelligent RM/LM who makes good runs off the ball and can play our pass and move game, like a new freddie. and a CB like senderos but a bit quicker.

 

[clockwork orange]

What about Germany's & Bayer Leverkusen's Rolfes? highest rated (player rating's) defensive midfielder in Bundesliga. Tough, 1.89m, already a good Captain, 26, only contract until 2010, so relatively cheap & Bayer rather sell to us than to Bayern (who want him too).

Zenit's Tymoschuk, tough, already a good captain, 29. Contract until 2011, so probaly too expensive.

He'd be worse than Denilson. Plus he's a crock.

I want ****ing Given!

 

[number_0]

*players wanted*
can you play in DM, CB, AM or goalkeeper for no more than 40k aweek?, do you play in a second grade league and cost less than 10m? are you over the age of 23? if so give us a call

tymoschuk is 29 already? what's rolfes game like?

 

[clockwork orange]

Yep. Despite his babyface Tymoschuk already is 29. Rolfes is a reliable solid DMF. Tall, physically strong. Good header both defensive and offensive. Basically just what the doctor ordered.

Can actually play some footy too (not unskilled), scores 1 in 10 matches.

 

[raidersoftheark]

Ochoa
Sagna Dunne Gallas Clichy
Theo Cesc Cana Nasri
Ade Edu

Three first XI players, and an extra winger to be rotated.

 

[IBL]

It annoys me to see the likes of Zaki, Feillani & Giovanni doing great jobs for lesser teams than Arsenal. These are hungry, quality players that we didnt pick up on

 

[Asterix]

My wis list:

A captain.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

My wish list consists of a couple of defenders who are strong in the air and aren't pussies. Also a big tough defensive midfielder would be nice.

leverkusen is second in the bundesliga or thereabouts, no? i cant possibly see them selling their captain in january. he sounds like what we need, though, from what you describe.
