Make a good point about Villas Boas. If he can get all of them to gel and play to his system they would be immense. A midfield of Dembele Moutinho and Parker is capable of a top 4 finish easily.

I would be delighted if my club signed Vertonghen, Dembele, Sigurdsson, Moutinho, Lloris, Adebayor in a summer. Showing ambition there

Not sure on Moutinho. Everyone loves him cos he was good in the Euro's, but was he up to much before that? A lot of Portugese players look good for their national team and then turn out to be nothing more than decent.

Wouldn't be getting wound up over Spurs signings.
Friedel, King, VDV and Modric v Lloris, Vertonghen, Sigurdsson and Moutinho
Different faces, not sure any are a massive upgrade on who they're replacing.

Yeah. So forward thinking is Wenger. Months ahead of everyone else.

He's obviously forgotten what he said last winter about it being a bad time to buy cos prices are inflated mid season

depends on who they end up getting. if they sign dembele and another forward, they do look stronger than last year.

He was immense with Porto under AVB. If he can replicate those kind of form he can be more effective than Modric for them.

Maicon to man city

He's no Carl jenkinson

They got him for £4m because he's in the final year of his contract.
:gah: :gah:
I could kick something right now.

This thread is depressing. Come Wenger, at least ditch the shitsters and promote some of the kids.
Win,win for all of us including Dick Law!

that was last year, a new year brings about new economic circumstances. or some bullshit like that.

Moutinho + Parker + Demelele <<<<<< Cazorla + Diaby + Arteta (I am not even considering Wishere for now)

We shouldn't be comparing what we have with what Spurs have though and that is what is disappointing.

What's happening to Micah Richards then if they've signed Maicon?

Seems like city are making signings for making signings sake.

yeah not impressed with that. just a name. he's basically followed the same trajectory as his former club and international teammate julio ceasar.

@ashburton_grove: Love this @1DavidWall stat: Chu-Young Park’s Premier League career with Arsenal reads as follows -> 6 mins, 4 touches of the ball, 0 shot. 😆 😆
