Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Cripps_orig]

Cesc can fuck off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not pride for me, just don't like the Barcelona pass pass football which is what he's suited to. I'd rather we got someone more like Yaya Toure.

I was talking about me.

Yaya is as tippy tappy as it gets for most of the time, until he bombs forward. And Cesc is not suited to that football, that's surely been obvious over the last few seasons.

I never liked our style when Cesc was around, good creative player just not the player I'd choose to drive the team forwards. As you said though Toure can make driving runs forward which open up defences and that's far better to watch than Cesc's style IMO.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya is nearly 30 and unlikely to be able to keep up that style for much longer, he'll rely more on long passing to influence the team now I imagine. In any case, there aren't many like him.

Cesc makes plenty of driving runs, he is just little bit slow.

I agree about Toure, I just would like us to sign a midfielder who makes driving runs. Yeah Cesc is slow and that's the problem, he doesn't open up defences with penetrating runs, he's a pass master but I find his style boring.

Should sign Wigan's McManaman he's brilliant.

I thought we had gone past the point about caring about our style by now if it would make us better?

I'd take him back based on the unlikely scenario of any other quality player already wanting to join us (unless we make it known we're after them). Doubt we'll do it anyway though, we'll bring him back when he is 33 probably.

Fair enough, there's no way he's coming back anyway, but I think it's time to tried and tested methods of winning rather than something which has just not delivered the results that's all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Probably. I don't think that's particularly likely either though, even though we probably could if we wanted to.

[Marc Overmars]

I'd love him back.

His GHEL runs are perfect for this league.
