You still got it in for our defence mancio..Mancio said:Danamy said:Mancio said:defense win you CLs , and there is where we are average.
Yeah, Chelsea's defence was far superior to ours last season wasn't it?
it was and it is.

We may not have conceded many goals in the league because most teams didn't bother attacking us. They parked the bus and hoped to nick a goal. Most weren't good enough to do so and that's why we have a good defensive record in the premier league.
In europe however it was a different ball game. we were up against more clinical forwards and we also didn't dominate possession in midfield like we do in the league. Barry, Milner etc not quite so effective in this arena.
So as far as I am concerned get RVP if he wants to come and we offload a striker,but he is not the key. If Tevez and Edin want to stay we have a fearsome front 4 as it is.
To improve in europe we need a centre back who can play football. pique for example. Vince is great but he often hoofs it long and inacurately, while Joleon, well its just not his thing.
In midfield we do need someone a bit more cultured.
So if we signed Pique and Sneijder for example i think we'd be almost there as far as Europe is concerned.
Hart
Richards Kompany Pique Clichy
de Jong
Snejder Yaya Silva
Aguero Tevez

What was it you said, joe hart is average and should be sold earlier on the thread...
Your the biggest fucking wum on here!
I still insist the problem lies with Arsenal's training program and medical staff. Arsenal players are as brittle as glass, but Clichy and Nasri held up well as has Kolo and Adebayor over the past few years.TFC said:RVP would be quality, but you have to have a couple of reservations about his age/durability. That being said, anyone can get injured at any time I suppose.
Whatever improves us as a squad, bring it on. Soon, cos I'm bored out of my f**king mind.
PR exercise keep the troops happy, long way till 31st August with nowt happening. :-)TH seems very perky today! Hope it's a good sign!
normally yes but I think there are significant financial difficulties for all the Spanish clubs now. Money is also important and I think they will struggle to compete with us.tolmie's hairdoo said:You do know I'm not Mancini, don't you?bluebannana said:I agree with this, we scored more goals than anyone last season why do we need to buy a striker ?Andouble said:tolm what about the Javy Martinez quotes from the other day?
RVP a good player and would improve the squad but striker doesn't scream priority for us at the moment I'd think.
Martinez's quotes were nothing you would not expect.
If Barcelona are sniffing, we will forget it and move on.
