4 players are;
1) Podolski
2) Goetze
3) Vertonghen
4) Javier Martinez
Big bucks to land all thoses but if we have the minerals and landed them all, I would be happy, covers every area on the field apart from GK (back-up to Sir Ches may be needed)
Stories has Podolski closer than the rest, Vertonghen value going down because of contract so could see that happening (would have to shed some excess we have at CB tho!) DJ bye bye? where does that leave Miquel? co he hasn't done bad when asked to fill in!
Goetze and Martinez would take more money and you know our adversion to doing that! but if we want to be taken seriously then what choice do we have (@SWAYR yes, I know this sounds like the same old shit that has been said before......but you tell me how else to word it!!!)
Goetze is quality but where does he fit in in a fully fit squad......would hi and Jack be battling it out?
Martinez sounds like a an enforcer type similar to what M'Villa was being billed as last year......not sure how serious this name is.....but a bit of steel in the middle would not go amiss.
The bottom line is that all of these signings would added quality to what we have in the squad/would allow us to cut off some of the dross that occupies our bench. The time for sentiment is over.....we need to get rid of the guys that were playing first team football last year and went out on loan this.....Denilson/Vela/Bendtner....thoses out on loan as part of their developement can come back....Ryu
Those that are still there some can go, some can stay......Diaby/Yossi (thanks a lot) bye bye - Rosicky would keep
BUT this can only happen if we bring in the talent......that has been said before and CAN be said again
