Dempsey v Podolski

[LDG]

Wenger won't make a move for Dempsey. No chance of it happening.

I'd prefer Podolski too as he seems a bit more versatile - and will probably play out wide if Van Persie stays.

Dempsey would be good but I think there are other areas to spend cash on first. Oxlade and Wilshere (if not broken) might have the ACM position pinned down in Arsene's eyes.

Seconded.

Dempseys better than both tbh

Wilsheres dead and Ox is needed elsewhere in the team ie left wing

OX is not needed on the left its not his posistion, so tibe silly to put him there, he is more effective in the middle.

[Cripps_orig]

Hes played one game in the middle in his whole career (i say this without knowing or indeed caring where he played for Southampton) and hes more effective there?

He played there in a game where we had no choice but to attack therefore he didnt have to worry about anything else.

It wont be like that every game. Dont think hes disciplined enough yet for that. Play on the left. We have no one else who an play there bar Song and Song is needed in DM.

And Dempseys better than Ox in the middle anyway so doesnt really matter

Not sure, may not happen but it would be similar to Wumgers Arteta signing, somebody reliable and with experience. Would slot in right away and would play part of a decent rotayion of players. Cant see Oxo starting every game in centre as I cant see Jack being risked 1057 games a season again. Benny will go back to Chavs and we will need cover, we have Little Mozart too

[Fist of Lehmann]

Dempsey is plenty versatile. Against Chelsea he played up front on his own, he often plays wide, and could pretty much play in any of the attacking or attacking midfield positions.

It's an either/or however, and the łPod signing seems a done deal. That being the case, I would agree, other areas should be strengthened first. If Rvp leaves (which he won't) then Dempsey wouldn't be my first choice for main striker.

We should have enough in the bank to get both and Vertonghen, never the 6p generated from the sale of Nic, Cham, Arshavin. . .

It is still a hung court regarding Santos, has potential leg ststus but he is a bit. . .(dont know you finish that for me), may need LB cover?

Baines bring him in tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Baines and Fellaini tbh

Dempsey and Podolski for attacking options

Get another keeper in

Vertonghen as well perhaps

A RB for cover and we're sorted

7 players minimum needed

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Best Lb in the League Baines is.
