Do we even have a chance of getting Christian Ericksen.
as a potential playmaker alternative though I know Morotta is a cheap bastard but smart at the same time cause were never in debt but, he might just shop on the clearance isle again and get near expired canned goods like o let's say Alonso.
I've seen messi struggle against mexes. And kill him the next game.
Asamoah was in bad shape after the ACON. The entire team was actually.
He's what, 23 ? Very young for a defensive player, considering ribery and robben on their peaks. Lets see what would happen if they meet again this season
That was a depleted Asamoah after pleasuring a hundred "Ragazza's" in a month. Like a weakend Batman taking on Bane in knightfall.

Is Mamadou Sakho worth taking a gamble on? He has some SBA traits, but is still as raw as piece of rare fillet mignon. With some good solid coaching, he could possibly fulfill the "New Thuram" label he was given.
If Quag, Matri and Tattoo from fantasy island were sold off, which I am in favour of, do we need one more forward signing? That leaves us a bit thin up front for 3 competitions.

Looking at games against Bayern last season we really missed having man-beating wide players. If we want to beat the best we have to do better on the wings. It really doesn't matter how solid Asamoah is defensively because when you're failing to use the width of a 3-5-2 properly you're going to get caught out overusing the middle especially against Schweinsteiger and co.
Sportitalia running an article that Matri is likely to accept Napoli and will give his yes post the SuperCoppa. I'm thinking we may use some of that money and reinvest it in a Zapata type forward. Although closing the mercato with DiMaria (as rumoured) and Kolarov/Zuniga, will be something special, no doubt.
Forget about Di Maria he is unrealistic based on transfer fee wages and position.. although I rate this guy a lot!
Fast great dribbler awesome technique nice shots... I`d take him! He will be great even if we play him off position (Not as a wing back or any position which require a good defensive ability...)
I can see him playing as a SS and doing a great job even if he is definitely more of a winger...
As for our forwards - I hope I`m wrong but I`m not confident with Tevez and Llorente.

It's always great to be having that wide man option, especially whilst playing away from home or counter attacking. Nearly every top team in Europe has that option apart from us.
