So, bollocks then. Nice to know.

He could have first team football here and play in preferred position instead of makeshift CB.Brewster's millions said:He has improved quite a lot, to be fair, but the story is that he doesn't like it here and wants out anyway, either back to Benfica or Spain.
Mascherano is a very good DM but he will be 29 next season and won't ever score a header from a corner.

He will boss a midfield on his own though, his passing is astute and he's consistent too. I'd love the guy here. He would placate the De Jong lovers too.

Dunno but if so then on that basis we must not accept Platt or Clichy either.
Only a few years back Pardew knocked Wenger for having many foreign players yet he now he manages Le Toon.
Macherano is getable imo. They have Busquets ahead of him and Song as an option. They need a CB and play Mascherano out of position there. He's better than that and we coudl utilise him to his true potential.

oh i don't care about that, i was just wondering whether he would make the decision stick to his opinion and not join us.
i agree about his talents, he's fucking mint.
