Balotelli has 28 goals since August 2012. Giroud has 30 goals in that time. 7 of Marios goals for Milan are penalties. Nearly a third of his tally for City are penalties. A player who scores less goals than giroud, a complete nutcase and absolutely unreliable. Yeah lets spend 25-30m on him.
Being a bit simple there Mr. Gunner89
I really want Toni Kroos now.
Matuidi and draxler
Sturridge
Messi and Ronaldo.
Vucinic / Draxler / Verratti
Matuidi, Draxler and Vucinic. All can be done before Friday if we try.
Draxler this week. Then Kroos and Cavani in the summer.
I'd love Matuidi. He's free in the Summer no? Should be available at a cheap price. Pedro or Muller would also be amazing but they're probably impossible to get.
Matuidi could have a Yaya Toure effect here. We could do with some power in midfield. Totally not linked with him though.
He's been fantastic everytime I've watched PSG. He's everwhere on the pitch. You do wonder why we aren't linked with him considering the countless times his name came up when he was at St Etienne.
You don't think PSG are offering him much more than we could give to extend?
Not sure. They're signing Cabaye and will most likely be inable to guarantee him a starting spot. If that's what he wants he'll look elsewhere. There must be a reason why he hasn't extended his contract yet. Maybe PSG will just run his contract down to sign a more household name in the Summer.
We can't guarantee anyone a starting spot in our midfield either.
Don't think Cabaye really affects Matuidi's position in the team. Reckon Cabaye has been signed as cover for Verratti and Motta. Four players for three positions, all of them will play. Rabiot is the real loser there, provided Matuidi stays.
Kroos threw a strop after being subbed off...
:o
Could Kroos form a successful central midfield partnership with Ramsey?
Maybe not right away but I think he can be adapted to Arteta's role.
