Good point, just cant see why he'd want to go meelan when they are half way down the toilet. Meelan seems to be a club where you go when your a substandard ageing player with not much else on. We have much more of a clear vision and drive than meelan surely.
To be honest, im not saying that I dont want Iturbe here id just rather we bring in either ONE player much better than he is and more proven, or more than one player to add depth to key positions.
Iturbe is not the player to take this club forward, I honestly cant see Iturbe helping us go further in the champs league where Sanchez would. Besides 30M for an unproven youngster is too risky. Rather spend that money and more on someone who is going to actually add to the quality of this team.
I think that the club should be stretching the budget to its limits to make the deal happen. He is versatile , can play anywhere across the front 3 and even behind the striker. The club will suffer if he aint signed, what a waste he would be at arsenal. not enough chileans in the squad :)
Sanchez is 10 times the player that Iturbe will ever be, you cant just pass up that type of talent and raw skill with Sanchez. With the state of the leagues defenders he would run rings around the defense of any team in Serie A. A 30M price tag is well worth it after the mockery hes been making...
Pleased to see him go , it wasn't until tevez and Llorente came that I realised how out of his depth he was within the squad. Really was painful to watch him come on for tevez and 'try' to play football.
