Average, mediocre ball hog that is talented but does not have a football brain. I'd avoid him if I were Juve.
I think we need one of those. We have a team filled of players who treat the ball like a hot potato on the flank. He's obviously never going to start anyway.

You (Arsenal) have been doing so well lately (not this year). Sure, I will believe you. :D
I support the team, its not like I make any decisions :p

I don't think anyone needs a ball hog. He's the type of player that would make a wrong decision 8 times out of 10 and ruin most attacking plays that go through him; he's not very intelligent with the ball.

I liked him very much in his earlier days at Sochaux and Monaco and thought he had a bright future, but like many French talents, he never really matured and developed the way he should and ended up developing into an immature, ball hog with poor decision making. It's unfortunate but quite common with many French talents, Ben Arfa being another prime example.

I am all for signing Menez. Especially if he comes for a low fee. He is in his prime and already proved he could play in Serie A when he was at Roma so there wont be much adjustment. Also he gives us something we really lack, someone who is excellent in 1 on 1 situations and going past his marker. He also has a lot of pace. He might not be super consistent but there is always hope that he can take the next step here at Juve and players with his talent and skill are incredibly hard to find for such a low fee. People should not forget how much we spent on Martinez, Krasic and Elia. Menez is far better then all of them, yet would cost us much less.

I'm not convinced. A bench RWF we already have - Pepe (we're unlikely to get him sold I guess so he will be here). We need a starting 11 material which Menez is not.

I'd rather keep money and sell a few players that aren't contributing right now (we need to sell them anyway). It's hard to improve this squad without proper money and I don't think we can do it any other way.
