Draxler is the same as Coutinho, either a number 10 or a winger. He's pacy but doesn't have the flair Coutinho has. When you think about it there is some sense to it if you don't want Suarez dropping in behind Sturridge but rotating from the center to the wings. Right now it's basically Hendo at the tip of the midfield triangle which tells you all you need to know even with his improved form.

Just turned on Pool/Oldham - what are you doing GK? Saw Spuds also lost this morning and Chelski needed a late Torres goal to equalize. Fun seeing the lower level sides play so well. Arsenal certainly could have lost yesterday if we didn't throw on Wilshere/Gibbs. FA Cup is just plain fun.

Not sure what your point is considering the players we are linked with don't play in the middle of the park, but sure.
So, Galatasaray just signed Drogba, while Juventus signed Anelka.
Guess China wasn't that interesting after all.

Just my humble and all that but City selling Balotelli is a good piece of business, he's been a let down this season and getting ?20m for someone with such a short fuse is a decent price. Yes of course he can turn it on but it's been getting longer and longer between each show.
Sucks that Balotelli is leaving.. he was amazing at ruining team morale and him leaving might just mean that City will perform better.
edit: QPR lose 4-2 against MK Dons and draw against Man City... what the hell.

I'm a fricken savant calling Sissoko the best NUFC signing, really don't understand other teams not trying to get in on that. Belhanada is going to Turkey for cheap as well. Do the general English people think they are all wussy French or what? I just don't get it.

T-Minus 1 day until the xfer window slams shut, and Arsenal aren't going to bring in anybody. Madness. Instead the board put a freeze on ST's - talk about a fucking spin job. If Arsenal happen to lose tomorrow, there may be rioting in the streets. Wish Stan and Gazidis would GTFO already. Even if they win handily, there is no excuse not to shore up SEVERAL positions (not just striker). Its clear to anybody that Arsenal is short. They did bid 8 million for Villa - 2 million more than we paid for fucking Santos. If I was Barca I would have spit in Dick Laws smug face....
I don't really see Villa leaving this transfer window, possibly during the summer especially if Barca try a 2013 Neymar push. Villa just had a kid yesterday and did play a full 90 on Sunday. The issue right now with him starting/getting playing time is the fact that his inclusion would mean throwing off the Alba-Cesc-Iniesta left flank synergy. So far this season those three have been absolutely brutal at breaking down everything.
As an aside, Barca vs. RM in a bit over 4hrs.

I don't blame Barca for not wanting to sell him either - good cover if anyone goes down. I also think he makes a move in the summer, but not to Arsenal. This was kind of a now or never type deal given his age. He'll probably wind up at City or something this summer for a retarded amount of money. Great games today - Barca/RM and LPool/Arse afterwards. Stuck in meetings most of the afternoon though, and I half thought about rescheduling them haha.
