Feck Cesar. . .
Things becoming desperate enough to start warming to paying over the odds/salary for Aston. . .he would have put away Girouds chances against Chelsea at least
Diame still makes me frown. . .cheap so why should I be surprised but so were Ba and Mwbia
Not sure how effective he'll be in the sweeper role, tbh.Quote:

I honestly believe Yanga-Mbiwa will be excellent for them. 23 years old, captained his club since 21 and already looks the business as a CB and has obvious leadership qualities that we are literally crying out for in our current lot.Quote:

Last time we won something we had Lehmann - excellent, crazy goalkeeper who could kick, shot stop and go walkabouts...Szez good at the shot stops (mostly) and good at going walkabouts too - but cannot kick - I really don't think he's going to learn to do that now if he hasn't already.Quote:

As for Mbiwa, there's a reason no top club was interested in him.
Don't see how people on here clamour for star quality and then wet themselves when average talents move to average teams.
I didn't mention Gouffran...but how you can claim that Cabaye and Ben Arfa are average is beyond me. And I'm pretty sure you haven't seen enough of Mbwia to make that kind of judgement. Would have been more than happy with those 3 players in our squad...instead of Squillacci, Arshavin and Bendtner...just for example...that's if you want to talk about 'average' players!!Quote:

The prem is full of poor keepers. Hart isn't even better that the likes of Given.Quote:
