Sakho gets picked ahead of Kos for France. Is Sakho better? Not in a million years.

Varne is though and maybe its a case of Koscienly or Varne next to a tank so that argument is a bit loose.

Before the WC Kos and Varane were the first choice partnership for France. Varane is the consistent pick for Deschamps.

Its quite possible that he changed his mind on the correct balance just like how Wenger gave up on Vermaelen and Koscienly, it does happen so again, that reasoning is a bit loose.

Debuchy and Sagna are in direct competition that can not be interpreted any other way to bend into an argument.

At the end of the day, Kos is easily the best CB France have. On that basis alone he should be first choice, with others being selected to compliment him.

Admittedly I haven't been crying out for us to sign him whenever I've seen him play but seems solid enough and has enough experience to hit the ground running.
Not sure who people wanted us to sign as right back..Some people said Coleman but I'm not sure that was ever on the table and would have cost a lot for a player who's only had one or two good seasons...Aurier was rumoured but would have been a gamble.
As I said before, I think Jenkinson will be good enough to make it one day (obviously work needed) so would prefer us to buy an experienced player for a few years until he's ready...Debuchy ticks that box for me.

Personally I reckon sagna has been poor to average for a couple of seasons now, so hopefully Debuchy will be an improvement.
At the end of the day when was the last time anyone was excited about signing a full back? The position needed to be covered and job done as far as I'm concerned...move on...and let's get Sanchez (please).
Sometimes the work is done for you

:rubchin: :lol: :wink:
In what way? I don't pretend to be an expert on Coleman but he's only really come to my notice in the last 2 seasons...before that he was pretty injury prone I believe...i may be wrong, but haven't the time or inclination to look up his stats...feel free to do so and prove that he has been the best full back in the world for 5yrs....i will happily admit my error. Either way it doesn't really matter...it was never in the pipeline.
Eh...? :lol: Look, my point was evident. The rest of your reply is pointless.

As I said, you did the work for me. :barscarf:

If Sanchez joins us, we must make a song for him that highlights the fact he turned down the mousers.

They're all squirming on RAWK over this, it's brilliant. Hop over for a laugh. I'd defo recommend it.

Sanchez is having a virtual medical along with Higuain, Goetze and Zaha

Would Sanchez be played as an out and out striker, if so is he capable of scoring 25+ league goals a season? If the answer is no we should be looking elsewhere IMO.
