Nonsense. Mexes has been much better than Chivu this season, the latter being inconsistent and prone to making mistakes. Chivu is much overrated as a defender. What makes him stand out is his build-up play and delivery.
Anelka would be an excellent signing. He'd score 15+ for us in Serie A - while also contributing to our overall game. Just watch him play for France and Bolton a couple of times and you'll agree with me.
