I honestly think I could beat Samba in a foot race and I get tired standing up. I just cant see that lumbering oaf being good enough, Cahill at least can trap a ball with out punting it away. What about the Jerome Boatang chap at city? we wanted him before city did, he can play at left back (where he plays for the goose steppers) He's talked about leaving to get more games and accepted he would have to take a paycut to leave.
That's going a bit far.Gibbs is utter shit tbh.
It's probably been said already but Gibbs is not a LB, he was a box to box CMF who could also play left wing in the reserves. Wenger thought he was too lightweight in the middle, plus we don't really play with traditional wingers so he's placed him at left back hoping to do an Ashley Cole. Cole actually learned how to defend well despite also starting off as an offensive player, but I'm not sure Gibbs can do the same. Maybe with more experience like Cole aquired, we'll see.
Worryingly he's become quite a sicknote already. Let's hope its growing pains and he grows out of it like Walcott seems to have done.
Boateng wants out of citeh because he doesnt want to play at LB, I believe.
Samba and Cahill would both be fine tbh.
I ws thinking the same thing about Boatang but imagine that he would prefer to go back to Germany and a 'paycut' from Citeh wages would probably still price us out of the running!!!accepted he would have to take a paycut to leave
However he would be worth keeping in mind and I believe that we would interest him because of the way we play however the signs are that Wenger is going for the direct route type well at least the kind of player that knows when that style is appropriate ie not try and play it out of defence from the goal line. Samba will benefit from playing along side a player like Verms. Hopefully it won't be 90 minutes of defending like he is expected to do at Blackburn so there will be time for him to grow. I do remember making some great saves, at times consecutive tackles and remember thinking that if some of ours had half the fight he showed then we wouldnt get in some of the messes we do........
I know that Samba is not a Franz Beckenbauer but he would bring a lot of wht is missing in our defence/team as a whole and that is heart and fight.......although it doesnt outweigh technical ability especially when we play the way we do, we can also never underestimate the value of it
I say get Samba and Cahill......money well spent
