By that Logic we should stick Mata in as a DLP because of his supreme passing and vision. It seems people are only mentioning Oscar as a deep lying playmaker because he hasn't set the world alight yet in his usual position. Give him time (a few seasons) and he will. That is his best position.

Hmmmm, for £15 million or under he's worth it. Anything above it, we would be better off going for someone better.

Perhaps the position in which he has been a starter for quite some time now within arguably the best footballing nation ever. An attacking midfielder, the position in which he built his name. That position.

We would only have 4 AM's. If Isco comes marin should go. So only 4, not 5.

Nothing you mentioned hints at playing him deeper. Everyone is just making assumptions.

I thought people were joking when they said we're only buying players if they are Brazillian (and Belgians/Spaniards). It seems its true...I can't see the interest in him other than his Nationality. Shell out a little more for a player who is substantially better (Isco).

I don't understand where people are making this assumption from? When has this ever been stated? Frank plays in the pivots...

2 questions: How do you pronounce his name? Is he physical and defensively strong? We could do with a Deep lying playmaker/Defensive miffielder HYBRID (Alonso) which I'm getting the impression Benat is not.

I get the 'Overrated Brazillian' and 'Brazillian Marin' vibes from this. I would prefer a player who starts out as a Squad player but has the potential to be a starter (Like Moses has done). From what I'm reading Taison is mediocre with little potential. Athough, I'd take him (with a bit of Skepticism) as we need depth in the 3 Amigos' position. I'm unsure as to what we are going for. Do we want a winger or another Attacking Midfielder? A host of better options: Sanchez, Nani, Honda, Walcott, Willian, maybe even Zaha (?).

Marin barely plays anyway, is slightly above average and will probably leave IMO. So we need Isco. People who are thinking we're going overkill with AM's. I say, not really. We need depth. Look at ManUre. They have 4 fucking Strikers and were still linked to Lewandowski. So I ask you. What's the difference between that and our situation with AM's? Hazard and especially Oscar need work in order to make a big impact in our team week in, week out. Overall if we get Isco, Marin should leave IMO and bring in KDB who can be the 6th body (2 for every position) in the 3 behind the striker. ---Moses/KDB-----Mata/Oscar----Hazard/Isco--- -----------------------Not Torres------------------------- See? It all works out. KDB can play anywhere among the 3 and also deeper in midfield.

Well...he's going. Best enjoy him while he lasts.

We could be back in for Modric... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2257903/Luka-Modric-linked-Manchester-United-City-Chelsea.html Nothing more than £20 million then we'll talk.

When does his contract run out?

Still needed, in order of importance: Essien Striker CB

Overpriced. Moses has done a good job for us at a tiny fraction of the price of Bale. Not that I'm saying Moses is as good but Moses offers more to our team and is growing. Sanchez would be the best option if we want a winger and Isco or Honda the best option for an attacking midfielder.

Getting Isco will be another great signing. So talented. We have almost no quality in depth in the 3 positions behind the striker (apart from Moses). Marin will be at most a squad player. Really hope this is true.

Ummm what? Anyway Azpi's crossing is a lot better than's Bosingwa's. He just had an off day today.

Indeed. ManUre are nothing special. They are so reliant on Van Persie its laughable. If we had Ba from the start of the season we'd be at least 2nd.

What if he doesn't get a lot of games?

Really? Wow. Didn't notice that. Legend. I'm sure he truly and deeply appreciates the fans' support.

Sometimes he frustrates me and overall he is a bit wasteful but I must admit he has been very good and a great value signing.

We are going to miss Moses. No doubt we need to bring in a player because Marin has looked unimpressive (Admittedly he hasn't had a lot of games back to back).

That's the difference. It was a tap in for Ba, but Torres wouldn't have even been there to tap it in. He would have been off day dreaming and playing with the Grass.

Because let's face it, we aren't going to win the PL. However we're strong enough for top 4. FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League are our last chances at Silverware.

I'll try not to expect too much. It might take a couple of games for him to settle in. It'll be great if he scores though, on so many levels! If he can just have a presence and hold up the ball, contest ariel headers and such, he'll be better than Torres already.
