Re: McDowell's "9 days till its locked" Rumours thread
Not quite. He's a surplus to the requirements at madrid. He's not going to dislodge Alonso or Lass. He's a different sort of player than songino.flash gunner wrote:goonersid wrote:And what better place to develop, improve workrate and foster hunger, than at trophy hungry Arsenal.flash gunner wrote:I heard an interview the other day in which they said Sahin doesnt have the hunger and workrate for a Mourinho team so he wants to send him to England for a year to toughen him up before resuming again next season in Madrid. Now i dont know how you put it but thats development to merigsby wrote:Develop him? He's been developed already, he just hasn't settled in Madrid. I would say the deal for a signing option snagged on price, and also Jose trying to get one over Wenger as well. Its well reported that he tried to get him to Pool rather than us.![]()

It will toughen him up at least and after spending a season with the 'average generation' might even make him count his lucky stars he's with Madrid
I think we need to get over the fact that Madrid are willing to let him go. Madrid always do what Citeh have done – overload their playing staff to cover every eventuality – something that FFP is due to try and stop. But it can mean that some highly talented players simply don’t get a game another example of that is kaka.

I'd rather have Les Dawson!!! Michael Dawson is so far over rated that even AKB has found him out!

Personally id only loan with a right to buy at the end

Mourinho speaking to O Jogo, reported on French channel Sport+:
' Mourinho feels a spell in England will help to develop the 23-year-old's game, but he is refusing to be drawn into a debate as to where Sahin may end up.
"It can teach him particular characteristics of play that he doesn't have at the moment," said the Portuguese tactician.
"I couldn't care less if he goes to Arsenal, or Liverpool or Tottenham. I have no preference because with all the respect in the world to these very good teams, none of them will be threatening us in the Champions League"
ZING. Ouch.
