Does he play defensive midfielder? Thought he played the Ramsey/Wilshere role.
He can play anywhere. Marchisio is one of those guys who were common 15 years ago, who could actually play in midfield and not just in a particular section of it. He's usually been the one to drop down and act as cover for Pirlo in the last two years at Juve. Stellar player. Incredibly underrated.
I really liked him before Pogba, when he played with Pirlo and Vidal. He's turning 29 soon, too bad we didn't buy him a couple of years ago. If we can get him cheap like Arteta, it'd be worth it.
He reminds me of Albertini

It's like when Ashley Cole broke through at our club. You're talking about one kid within an entire squad. He is going to be well looked after both on and off the pitch. Now imagine placing Varane in a defence where he's got Bellerin and Chambers to his right which is a very plausible scenario and that prospect is unfortunately entirely different.

Now that is a proper compliment on the other hand! Rex knows all about barely adequate posting.

What about this Sevilla CM Grzegorz Krychowiak?
Been touted in the the express and his stats so far are outstanding. 3 tackles 3 interceptions per game, 6 long ball per game 84% passing accuracy, 4.5 aerial duels per game.
Just the sort we need.
If we get him, i'm not calling him anything more than GK. what the fuck is a z doing after a gr in a name?!
Well, he'd play with Bellerin and Chambers if two of our defenders were injured. If two Real Madrid players were injured he would play with Arbeloa and a guy named Nacho. It's not like the two of them are world class, even though Arbeloa can be decent.
Who is Marcelo Brozovic? Who saw the Italy Croatia game?

Some ITK twatter rumours from yesterday:
1) Steve Bould either has been sacked or will be sacked and Paul Clement (Real Madrid) will be the new assistant manager (with a view to him taking over from Wenger when he leaves). 2) Wenger was showing an agent around Colney, potentially for a transfer that could reach 30-40m.
1)The 'Clement effect'... :drool: 2)All those years of having no money and now he goes on and buys an agent for 40m? Wenger out!
Rumours are it's Hummels agent
Twitter mongers say it's very reliable. Hmmmm
Which bit is reliable?
Another Welbeck type big one?!?!!!
Chelsea AGREE deal to sell Petr Cech to Arsenal
It's a Jan tran according to the Star.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/411143/Chelsea-to-sell-Petr-Cech-to-Arsenal
Is this the same mythical 30m+ mystery transfer from Germany we've heard stories of these past 2-3 transfer windows?
What players could we sign for that money in Jan that we'd need? Cavani? Benzema? Vidal?
