What about Simon Rolfes?

He's a tall (6'3"), 27-year-old, German international who plays DM/CM.

Simon Rolfes is included in "Entropy's wish-list (or possible targets that will most probably have rumors surfacing being linked to Arsenal even if the only basis is this list)"

i've watched rolfes a few times, i think he's decent but not good enough for us. he's more a gilberto type than a vieira.

Ashley Young. Wouldn't it be nice to have a winger who can beat people and deliver a cross. If Ade and Nik stay then I'd love to see us get Young because he'd deliver the balls to allow those 2 score goals.

Matej Delac. Definitely.
:)
Where did You hear about him?
Ah, you're Croatian! I've known about Delac for a few months, and for Inter Zapresic, he is Immense. A clean sheet during a 3-0 win over the weekend wasn't it?
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.imscouting.com/player_to_watch.aspx?id=igqVAxRwIGilosDH2M8+2g||&name=Matej+Delac" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.imscouting.com/player_to_wat ... atej+Delac</a>

In his first game he saved a pen against experienced legend, that is known for taking great set pieces and penalties, few games later he saved a pen to a guy who didn't miss one in 2 seasons I think.
He said he studied them both and was sure he will save them ;)

right, wasnt sure where to put this.

i know you will always get those who claim to be in the know etc, and im not claiming that i am either, but...

One of my old school mates does scouting for Villa around my town and surrounding villages (in the midlands, obviously) and as such, gets to talk to a few of the Villa lads.

Well he has informed me that after speaking to Craig Gardner, he has heard that Gareth Barry to Arsenal for £7 million and Diaby.

I'd take it with a pinch of salt obviously, but still, interesting...

IN:

Bassong
Faye or Sahko or some other really mean ************ at CB
Alonso

Out:

RVP. I know y'all will hate me for this but, he slows us down, he disappears for stretches, he's a luxury and if we really are skint we're basically trading him for Alonso.

Of course if we do sell ADE than i'd have to rethink that.

Oh, and I'm assuming Rosicky will still be playing for us next year and will actually make an impact.

GK. why not Boruc from Celtic?
Because he's a ***** and because Al is better and maybe Fabianski too.

Cana has become the abstract paradigm for DM-wishing, much in the same way that Chiellini has for CB.

Quite so.

I'd contemplate putting in a bid for Samir Handanovič in Udinese perhaps if we were to loan out Fabianski next season. Boruc I wouldn't touch even if we were offered money to sign him.

WE MUST BUY:

1 Experienced, Ready-Made CB = Brede Hangeland (£8m)
1 Experienced, Ready-Made CM = Xabi Alonso (£18m), Mathieu Flamini (£?), Felipe Melo (£12m), Gokhan Inler (£10m), etc.

LUXURY BUYS:

1 Promising CB: Sebastien Bassong, Cristian Zapata, Mamadou Sakho
Edin Dzeko for Adebayor!
Yuri Zhirkov

After those two changes, our team next season could look like this!

Almunia/Fabianski
Sagna/Eboue - Touré/Gallas - Hangeland/Djourou - Clichy/Gibbs
Nasri/Walcott - New CM/Song - Fabregas/Denilson - Arshavin/Rosicky
Eduardo/Van Persie - Adebayor/Bendtner

Just Hangeland and a new CM with experience and leadership would improve us IMMEASURABLY. Our team needs its spine ripped out and replaced with Adamantium, and hopefully we can make two signings that would give us that boost.

Agree with that. We definately need a CB and a CM both of whom have experience (preferably premiership experience). Players like Zhirkov would be a bonus.

My wishlist would be Lescott/Hangelaand, Barry/Alonso/Toulalon and Zhirkov to come in for around 35 million with Traore, Diaby, Simpson and Senderos being sold for around 20 million.

Maybe my drink problem (which i've just admitted too - first step Dools), has made me look at things differently. But things really aint as bad as they seem.

Wow, that team looks quite good. With Dzeko for Adebayor, maybe even better.

Does anyone know anything about Hertha Berlin's Gojko Kacar?
<a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gojko_Ka" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gojko_Ka</a>čar

He's a 6'0", Serbian DM that looks like he can both create and destroy. He has also been deployed as a CB at times for HBSC.

Blind faith in "LVG filoshophy"
Not particularly impressing me when I see him (always watch the Bundesliga MOTD show). Played 24 league matches (18 starts, 9 times subbed off, 6 times subbed on) this season (was out injured for 7 matchdays), his average kicker.de (best German football daily) rating is 3.76 (scale: 1 -very good- to 6 - crap-), which is very low (11th rated Hertha player, not top 10 for his position). Scored 6 times though (and no assists).
