Why take a player back we don't need! If we are going to spend the money on a new player I'd rather one that addresses the actual needs of the team.

Didn't we start the last game with Flamini in central midfield?

He was DM in fairness..... Would get walked over on Monday with Ramsey and Fabregas in there and Ozil ahead of them

We would crush anyone who came near us with that midfield!

We would be killed time and time again on the counter.

No no no, we'd get overrun with to many men to far forward. A legitimate DM to compete with Coq is with we need for midfield.
Don't want Fabregas near the team!

This is what we need.

Fabregas wouldn't get his game. Ozil is the front runner for his position and if he is out we have other options who would be ahead of Cesc. Unless Cesc wants the position of kit boy I don't see him fitting into the team anymore.

Once his Catalan DNA activated he lost his chance to come back in Arsenal colours (well that and Wenger getting his mitts on Ozil )

Jeez, just as well I'm not manager!

I reckon Rambo and Cesc would manage it between them, as long as they were clever about it.

Just saying.

Have you seen Fabregas play lately ? The guy hardly ever tracks back and just lets runners go time and time again it's unreal. Playing him as a deep lying midfielder is just plain suicide.

I doubt Aguero is 100% match fit though. If he starts he'll be subbed early or they will bring him on in the 2nd half. Bear in mind we may have Alexis on the bench as well. Big game this, looking forward to it!

Massive massive game. Win it and I'll start to believe. We're more than capable too.

(IMHO)

TBH given the way this season has gone and how erratic City are no matter what the result the League is still wide open.

I think a win this weekend would make a statement and it's technically a 6 pointer so I'd be gutted with anything less than 3 points. I reckon we can do it, be delighted if Alexis can make an appearance.

where's this news coming from?

I'm presuming he'll go to either chelski (after hiddink's interim bit) or Xity. i did hear he wanted out Bayern.

Dunno if he's the best placed person to take over, but i still firmly believe, that someone should and the sooner, the better.

Probably the best manager to take over after Wenger.
My only issue would be how he is with injuries. Wenger is nothing compared to Pep when it comes to over paying players.

What do people make of the guardiola to arsenal in 2017 news. Was just reading GMS, I know I know, saying that he's prepared to take a year sabbatical or another year at Bayern if he's assured that he'll get the nod. IMO he is the best suited manager I've heard of to take over the role.

I'd imagine Arsenal are the club Pep Guardiola is waiting for. He'll walk into a team with his own playing style, and wants to move to London.

Was reading givemesport but have just seen they were rewording a daily mail thing. There goes that anyway
