What other deals do we have?
We need a goal scoring midfielder who provides creativity. Hazard ticks those boxes. Unfortunately hes on his way to one of our "rivals" and i use the term loosely cos we havent really rivaled either Manc Clubs or Chelsea for some time in the trophy hunt.
Dempsey is available. Why we arent going for him, i dont know. Roughly the same age as Arteta and twice the player
I agree, Dempsy should be sat down having talks with them right now tbh.Originally Posted by Ach
We dont have time to be fucking around.
as long as we bid a decent amount i cant see how we cant get dempsey. he's already stated he wants champions league football if he leaves fulham so that rules out liverpool and spurs. chelsea dont need him now they've bought marin. man utd are going for hazard and bigger names. city dont need him. that leaves only us. ffs get the cheque book out and sign him !
Do not forget we are in the waiting period.
Think Dempseys contract expires next summer so he wont cost much if hes sold this summer
Ł8-10m should do.
Play him where Fulham played him and he'll do well.
Wenger will put him on the wing though
have to say would rather we signed three or four players like demspey. good but not world class, will work hard for the team and give their all then spunk the same money on one player who will do a nasri which is turn up for the odd game but go missing in others.
give me players at 7/10 rating every game then some that will be 9/10 then 5/10
just to clarify my point. give me a yossi over arsahvin any day. arshavin could produce magic but we never knew when yet yossi would always work hard and help our cause more
Unfortunately Vinegar seems to like to bring in players who are consistently 5/10 players, as long as they are dirt cheap.
marin will play out wide, more likely to compliment mata in a front three with torres in the middle - the type of service that should (on paper) play to torres' strengths. dempsey could be a good replacement for frank and more likely to get more games there than trying to squeeze into one of two spots in our middle three.
Yoss is sh*t, I'd hate us to have 2 or 3 of him.
