Okay so in fairness I am drunk and when I was sober I was thinking this was fucking ridiculous but my new take on it is that I think we should let AVB do his stuff and if it fails miserably then we can all say how shit and his signings were but for now I think we should sit back and let him sign who he thinks can win us back the premier league and win us the champions league. I don't see how meireles is the player we need but AVB is the professional football manager so if it happens I'll support it.... would rather modric though.... or messi....
Fair enough! I think if we do sign him we'll play Mata in CM as our creative force, or even not play with a DM and play with Lampard Ramires with him behind striker and then Perreria Sturridge.
Well then reserve judgement until then like I am, instead of people saying it's a stupid signing etc etc. Also I've seen on some saying its 22 million euros not 30 million.
Okay well you bitch and moan and I'll trust AVB that he knows what he's doing with this. To be fair the only way we'll know if it's a good sign or overpriced is after we've signed him and he plays, so I'll judge him then but you go ahead and judge it now.
Perreria wing and mata in the middle as the creative one? Could happen, and I'm sure AVB knows what he's doing he was with Perreria at Porto and obviously knows his strengths and weaknesses and will have something in mind that does not involve him sitting on the bench as cover for Ashley Cole.
