HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

Rex

You may be laughing, but that shows more of your ignorance than anything else. This boy is destined for stardom. He is a real baller; he has 15 goals and 3 assists as a left winger in all competitions after 20 games played. At the age of 20, he scores in the Dutch league, in the cup, and in the Europa League. Pace to burn, excellent technique and trickery, and a real eye for goal.

If we can't get Reus, who is the complete package, then going for one of the hottest prospects around in a position where we are short is the way to go IMO.

Qwiss

I'm not that fussed on getting a winger.

goon

Really don't see how we're short out wide. Theo, Sanchez, Ozil, Ox with the likes of Jack, Welback and others also capable of playing there if need be is more than enough quality and depth.

Clrnc

But can you pass up the chance to sign Reus for 20m?

Klaus

I'd take Reus and play him up front. He's world class and would improve us in a number of positions.

As I said elsewhere you always have to at least look at the possibility to adding world class talent to the squad if the opportunity presents itself and I'd definitely go for him at that price. But it doesn't mean we're short in that position.

Gun's blazing.

Not if his wages are reasonable. Anyway he's going to end up at Real so its all moot.

ludovicvanzis

City should nab him. They haven't bought a quality player in yonks

Rex

The way I see it we only have 3 players who are good enough to play on the flanks for us; Walcott, Alexis, and Chambo. Özil, Wilshere and Cazorla are not good enough there, so we definitely need one more top class player in that position.

Cannon

Seems we spoke to Rakitic in Jan. We might try again in Summer in Santi leaves

there is no way santi is leaving unless he forces his way out, and why would he do that? hes been arguably our most important player this season and is one of the first names on the team sheet.

Are you Wenger in disguise? That's what I would expect from when we need to address striker, goalie and centre mid first.

Rex

We are not getting a world class striker, so we need to compensate. A world class wide forward would go a long way. Santi has been ace in the middle, no doubt, but we have two better players in the squad already.

Sell Santi while his stock is high, get Reus and Schneiderlin in. So much win in that.

QuincyAbeyie

We do have two better players, but if we're to sell Santi they'll need to play better than him too.

Rex

They do.

Macca

Then you have Ox and Theo on the bench. Which team in the world has that kind of depth for winger? Keep Santi. Upgrade keeper and DM.

Rex

Top teams have that kind of depth. Personally, I think that is what we should aspire to become but, hey, that's just me.

Claudius

Rex, we have possibly too much depth. We need to trade it in for starting quality. Our aim should be to have 3 or 4 players who could comfortably walk onto the Real Madrid starting line-up.

Ozil, Kos, and Sanchez would be good candidates.
