Wait. Isn't Diaby out of contract this summer? Why is it that Transfermarkt has it for '05? :(

Oh fuck.

Probably the best holding mid we could plausibly get - would prefer him over Martinez and Bender.

Ramsey-Khedira
Walcott Ozil Chamberlain
New Striker

Would be quite a formidable lineup.

Cheers buddy - nice to know someone can carry on spreading the word whilst I rest my weary head. I expect this to be the biggest Summer list of players not coming yet, so we need to spread the workload :D

Are you kidding me ?? Khedira is a limited player when compared to Martinez and bender - I'm not dissing khedira as such but his "qualities" as a DM consist mainly of a guy running around pressing the opposition players when they have the ball. He doesn't have a physical presence, doesn't appear to be a great reader of the game or positioning sense and he certainly is limited with the ball at his feet (unless he is making timed runs into the opposition box which he is excellent at :o ).

Have to say that Gabi gave an exhibition last night as a DM :o

I'd much rather have Martinez over Khedira but we have fuck all chance of that.

Khedira is still a good player (and definitely the type of player we need) and with his contract running down, plus his recent dodgy fitness record it's more likely.

Everytime I watch Khedira play I am baffled as to why he has such a large reputation.

Nope - Uchida isn't coming

Only Aurier is coming for now
