SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

[SteveO 35]

Fucking please no to spending over £40m on a midfielder.......we need a fucking striker and we need one right now. No money left if were to spend £42m because Lord Wenger would already be planning the next 5 years of how we recoup the Ozil money.

Repeat - Giroud gets injured or needs resting and we are down to Wally, The King of Denmark and Le Postman as our 3 strikers whilst Pod is out for weeks

Does anybody else think Sagna is hard done-by to be thought of as 4th choice CB? Granted he hasn't had the same scrutiny there as the others but whenever he's played there he's had a good game and moreover looks comfortable there. No shitting his pants at physical opponents like Koscielny, no turning circle of a bus, pace of a snail and lead boots like Mertesacker and no calamitous brainfarts like Vermaelen.

He's just looked like a natural centre-half to me when he's played there. I really wouldn't be opposed to seeing him have a run there, particularly given his form at right back in the last few months.

the trouble with Sagna at centre back (and indeed Kos, TV and BFG) is that in an ariel duel with Crouch / Carroll / Drogba / etc, etc he just isn't cut out for it. We still need a warrior at the back - not always to be first choice but to deal with an ariel bombardment.

Sagna is quite decent in the air defensively. Doesn't duck out or get pushed around like the other two, wins a good amount of headers for his height and in any event normally does enough to put pressure on the opponent.

For his height I quite agree - not however when faced with a 6'3 + centre forward unfortunately. He is decent at centre back but we still have no answer to a big physical forward.

Chavs have told Mata IF he hands in a transfer equest and the right offer £23mill is made he can go!

FFS Wonga get a taxi over there now and sign him

£23m for Mata but we are after £42m Ozil

Now here's a funny thing if we do pay Madrid £42m for Ozil that money is going straight to Anfield for Madrid to sign our number 1 summer target Suarez.Funny old game

What I'm saying is that he may actually be the best answer we currently have though.
