if we're to sign him, him and Dembele would be the best midfield in the league. He's an upgrade on sandro in every aspect.

Not sure I agree, Sandro has improved dramatically since we signed him and has become integral to gaining us back possession. The problem with M'Vila would be his off field antics.

M'villa is also a master at winning back possession. Beyond that he's got a great short passing game, the sort that sandro doesn't have. He's also much better in terms of keeping hold of the ball. He's also a better athlete.

His off field antics are certainly a cause for concern but I have no doubt that if we could get him, and get him on the right path, we'd be on to a winner.

What do you think of a midfield trio of Sandro-Dembele-M'Vila?

Too defensive, or would M'Vila be able to step into Dembele's current role and let Dembele play more like a #10?

A new offer for Yann M'Vila has come from England, Rennes have confirmed

Rubin Kazan remain favourites to snare Yann M'Vila, but Rennes have confirmed a new offer from England has arrived.
General manager Pierre Dreossi admits the club want his situation resolved this weekend, and that an agreement with the Russian club was most likely.
Queens Park Rangers have been in talks, but now Dreossi says a new bid from England has come, and he would only confirm that it was not from Newcastle.
Arsenal, Tottenham, Fulham and Reading have also been linked with moves for the 22-year-old midfielder in recent weeks.
"It is complicated, but we are still in negotiations," said Dreossi.
"It is not agreed yet, there are delays in payment, everything. I hope we will find a solution.
"Also a new offer came in England and that could be interesting but Rubin Kazan is the priority, and we are negotiating.
"I expect the player to tell me he has reached an agreement with the club so we can finish the negotiations."
Dreossi feels QPR are now out of the running, adding: "QPR? I met with them for a long time [on Monday] but I think they will withdraw and I have not heard from them since.
He would not reveal the new bidder from England, saying "The new English club? This is not Newcastle - but no matter, M'Vila will leave and it will be finished before Saturday's game."

I remember you saying this the other day mate. Do you think that is likely to mean we are categorically not bidding or that we are just trying to stop media speculation about such a bid?

Of course it could just simply be we have made initial contact, have been put off for whatever reason and now are just distancing ourselves from any deals. However I like the thought of it being a tactic far more.
