Am i the only one who thinks that if we sign marin, diarra and vucinic, we would have a much better team than arsenal, liverpool, chelsea and even city?
Diarra, sandro, modric, bale, vdv, marin, lennon, vucinic.

Its just you. Better than Arsenal & Liverpool, absolutely.

City & Chelsea - come on we can compete but better team? Really?!

If it is Tim Cahill I will be so fucking happy.

Probably an unpopular choice but the guy is fantastic.

Why is everybody so keen to drop Azza?

I still maintain that Lennon would be best utilised as a super sub role to come on in the last half hour and look to not only stretch teams on the counter but add more directness to our play.

This is partly due because I can't ever see two wingers of Bale and Lennon working well, coupled with maximising the potential of our other personnel, namely VdV and Modric.

I've said this before - why do people want Marin? He's a left winger. People seem to think he must be like Modric because he's small and has a shit haircut.

You'd only buy Marin if you were selling bale (and he'd be a decent replacement). He's really not as good as people seem to think based on 45 minutes against us last season.
Marin can play anywhere across the middle of the park.

much as I love him... I'd drop BAE before Lennon.

Bale overlapping from left-back, Marin cutting inside from left-mid - SCARY proposition for defences.


this.

and i firmly believ harry wants this. he tried it briefly i remember at newcastlw last season but bale got basically messed up and injured for long time after that. its another string to the bow. cant have enought quality creative players that really give competition

He has plays on the right for germany and has played upfront, on the left, right and behind the striker for bremen

Maybe the option would be playing with bale at lb against wigan, stoke, etc and against chelseas's etc play with bae at lb.

We're shit at set pieces and with Captain Bullet header that's a good 10 goals a year.

2 big strikers + 1 midfielder + 1 CB

And, if possible, push to a young winger (Shaqiri/Marin) if the midfielder is Diarra/Pjanic

I dont know who this guy is but

A lot of Twitter rumours are doing the rounds about Vucinic to Tottenham - I get press releases from Rome and have heard absolutely nothing.

Apologies for wrong thread
