The Wish List

[patrick42uk]

He had a very good game against Chelsea recently in a champions leagu group game. He changes direction so easily and his touch is flawless. These are the consequences of his size and they make up for that "deficiency".

Maybe he's more of a playmaker than Hazard but he isnt lacking in pace and acceleration either. Far from it. At a discounted price, he's worth a punt IMO.

Case in point, Gianfranco Zola.

 

[Klaus Daimler]

I've never said that Giovinco is too small. I've simply said he fails to make his mark most of the time when he plays. I don't think he's worth a punt for Arsenal since we've got Wilshere coming through.

 

[outlaw_member]

The comment wasn't directed at you, Klaus, so stop getting so touchy.

 

[Lord Dula]

Giovinco looked great against Chelsea a year back

My little ol' Wish list;

Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris
Centreback: Simon Kjaer
Midfielder: Felipe Melo
Winger: Eden Hazard

What I wouldn't give......

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Felipe Melo, Ricky? Are you mad? You can have any midfielder, and you chose Melo? Reallllllly??

 

[ricky1985]

Well, it's my "sort of realistic" Wish List. I do think Felipe Melo is a better player than he's being given credit for, and will show it at the World Cup.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Oh ok when you put it like that. I agree that he's definitely the most realistic midfielder signing.

I like the rest of your list, albeit it's a group of very young players.

 

[Floating]

Keep Cesc, sign one from each category and we're set, lads. :bounce

GK: Frey / Neuer / Benaglio / Hart / Adler / Diego Alves
CB: Godín / Westermann / Rami / Cahill / Mexès / Garay

 

[SA Gunner]

My wishlist.

GK: Akinfeev
CB: Cahill
CM: Gourcuff

Im pretty sure Diaby will step up more in the defensive mifield/box-box role next year.

----------Akinfeev
Sagna--Cahill--Vermy--Clichy
------------Song
-------Cesc----Gourcuff
Van Persie----------Arshavin
-----------Chamakh

[USArsenal]

we would never get Gourcuff if Cesc stays.. (unless the agreement is that Cesc will stay one more season, and then we will cash in on him)

 

[outlaw_member]

Well, it's my "sort of realistic" Wish List. I do think Felipe Melo is a better player than he's being given credit for, and will show it at the World Cup.

Speaking of which, I hope people don't judge Gourcuff for what he shows for the French NT side. Imagine if we did the same thing with Henry. Although, Timleaf's comments in another thread about unfancied teams being dangerous has made me reassess their prospects.

 

[qs]

France will only be dangerous if the players take over because they've no fear of Domenech now that he's leaving. Which is very possible knowing the French

 

[USArsenal]

Domenech is what is known as a "lame duck"

 

[Lazaq]

This is my somewhat realistic wish list if Fabregas ends up leaving. I want him to stay, mind.

OUT:
GK Fabianski (+£1m)
CM Fabregas (+£60m)
LW Rosicky (+7m)
CB Gallas (Free)
ST Simpson (+2m)
Sum: +£70m

IN:
GK Adler (-£17m)
CB Cahill (-£14m)
CM Gourcuff (-£21m)
DM Melo (-20m)
Sum: +£72m

--------------------- Adler

Sagna ---- Cahill --- Vermaelen --- Clichy

---------------- Song ----- Melo

Chamakh ------ Gourcuff -------- Arshavin

------------------ van Persie
