I'd have Bullard in the team at any time. It's not just about skill its about mentality, and Bullard is just the sort of player that you need. However....I can't help thinking that we'd have bought him from Reading if he was going to come here.

Not really good enough. Would not be a bad short term solution but would cost too much to get him away from Fulham.

I agree, the cost would be the problem. if we could pick him up on the cheap as a short term fix then I'd say okay. Long term he isn't the answer. Mind you, who's to say he wouldn't develop in our team. You never really know. Adams looked like a total cock when he started didn't he.

Fair point....maybe Fulham would loan him to us in the hope he would come back plus we would get a low cost option at least for now.

Bullard would be the perfect short term fix an expirenced premier league player, but me thinks Wenger is a transfer snob and rather buy some 20 year old from Nancy that a cockney :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Short term fix maybe.

But I don't think Bullard is mentally "intelligent" enough to play the (at times overly) complex passing game we seem to have evolved around Cesc since Bob and TH14 and Cuntley left. We no longer hit teams on the break with 3 or 4 passes and score. Now it's tippy tappy pass pass...

Bullard is an old skool midfielder - he likes to run with the ball and he likes to shoot. Our more "involved" style would probably frustrate the fuck out of him... :?

I would take Bullard,Parker,Cattermole,Noble in second.
They would all walk into our squad maybe even the team.

Also we would finally have some English spine in the team.
To bad Wenger doesnt do English.
