Athletico Madrid to bid for Xabi?

[El Jefecito]

Rafa wants DMs in the middle. Momo is a better DM than SG. Ergo, SG out right, Momo in the middle.

You heard it here first

[SouthAfricaRed]

I'd say we're at least 3 world class players off.

You need a top class first XI first, and then you work on the subs.

They need you at the Barcodes

[SouthAfricaRed]

The same Scholes who has scored the same amount of goals this season as Xabi?

[El Jefecito]

Who is available that we could replace him with? Hargreaves

[AFII]

The Barcodes are playing better football than us right now.

Not that much longer if we continue to play **** football in our away games.

We didn't play sh!t football. We just didn't take our chances. The picture is not quite as bleak as you would like us to believe.

I'd say we're in a position now where come transfer market its only the odd player we need to go for and if he costs a lot maybe we can go for it.

I agree. Considering the major rebuilding that has been needed over the past two or three seasons, it's taken money and time, and it'll need even more of both before we're ready to challenge for the title. I think we were expecting a quick fix which was ultimately unrealistic. We replaced two wide midfielders, a whole new set of strikers, back-up for both full-backs (still none for Finnan), and back-up/replacement for the two centre backs (in Agger and hopefully Paletta).



If you have unlimited funds like the Chavs, or a decent base (still with Giggs, Scholes, Neville, etc) and a ton of cash like the Scum, then you can spend £15-20m on each position and all's well.


Getting back to the start of the discussion, I don't think selling Xabi is the answer. In fact it would be a step backwards, especially for a piss-taking £14m.

You couldn't replace Xabi for 30M. Who the hell is in the same class as him. I can't think of anyone. Can you?

They lost twice in their Last 5, whilst we lost once. What is your statement based on?

He means they have played 'nice' football. Which to be fair they have. Although nothing as dominating as we were against Blackburn

[The Barber]
