Silly Season January 2014

Barkley can play upfront, too.

I think there's a few traditional playmakers who are coming through the ranks who will end up playing the false nine role - Barkley is one, Draxler may be another.

I'd love to see a bit of 4-6-0 with Barkley leading the line. Not just now though.

It's a mata of wages I'm afraid.

I know a pun when I see Juan.

i’d Hazard a guess we won’t get him.

Swap Pienaar and Osman for Mata and Hazard and we’ve won the league. Do it Bill!!!!!

Haha, these are the best Ba none, Oscars all round.

Max rep for anyone who pulls off a Azpilicueta one.

To all the people who say we should bid for Mata... Schurle you can't be serious?

 

[Hangleton]

Soprano? - he’s definitely boss!

How many would you say defines many!?!? I guess he is referring to Mirallas and Naismith, maybe Gerard, all of whom I would describe as False Number 9's at best, playing deeper just off a Number 9, not out-and-out strikers in their own right.

A quick question...and I mean a question as I am not 100% sure. Didn't Mirallas play at Olympiacos as a striker and also get the leagues most goals by a player...and then when he moved here Moyes shifted him into a winger position?

He was played on the left in Greece cutting in, we should play him there more often in my opinion because he seems to like moving inside on his right foot

You guys are taking the Mikel!

He played a Striker for Olympiacos and he was indeed the highest scorer in the League, but he has played most of his career as a Winger and thats the postion he has always played for his National team.
