Potential transfer targets

[the wes 7,212]

Players to sell: Alex and Malouda

Players to sign: Hatem ben Arfa, Vedad Ibišević, Joe Hart and a central defender.

Hatem ben Arfa i do not rate him at all

[BlueLion. 21,491]

You kidding me? The kid's got more potential than Nasri.

Hatem ben Arfa would be a good squad player we need a world-class winger

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He's got the potential to be world class. If you ask me, we shouldn't be going out and buying players who are already at their prime for extortionate prices, only to see their confidence and form dip considerably. We should be buying young talent.

Why did Lyon let him go there was more out cry for malouda when lyon sold him

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Lyon used to play with wingers, but now use a narrow midfield.

[Matterz 67]

He is a very talented player, and he is young and probably wont cost too much, plus im sure he will be happy to be used as a squad player! I think he could be a very very good player, he is a bit under-rated probably because he was coming through at Lyon the same time as Benezema who just overshadowed him

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Completely agree with you, its much the same at Barcelona with Bojan overshadowing all their other young prospects.

We have some great talent coming through Stoch and Kakuta on the wings, if we go out and sign another winger who will walk straight into the team these guys will not get the chance to develop. The two youth cup strikers also look very good and with Di santo we have to give these guys a chance before we start slashing the cash. If it takes 2 years or so with nothing to develop this lot i am prepared to wait.

[Matterz 67]

Im all for giving youngsters a chance, and I agree that the likes of Stoch, Di Santo, Mancienne and Kakuta should be part of our firsrt team, however that does not mean they should be first choice just yet....they need to grow and learn from experienced world class players who can win us leagues and cups, and the best experience for the youngsters is to play second fiddle to someone like that! Still think we really lack someone of high class on the wing

I would love to see Arteta at Chelsea he has be brilliant this season lampard and Arteta would be a brilliant partnership in midfield

[Matterz 67]

I agree Arteta is a class player im not sure how much game time he would get at Chelsea though even though he is miles ahead of Malouda in terms of class

[Elliott 7]

Arteta can play on the wing, but I don't think he's the type of winger we need. We need real pace... like Sinclair and Stoch.

[nikno 1]

With all that's going on at City, there's no doubt talks of Robinho joining us will start in the papers. Thing is, I can actually see it happening, and hopefully for a cut down price. I know we've been told there's going to be no spending but if we can get Robinho, I think Roman will open up his pockets.

[Matterz 67]

Have to agree, Arteta is more of a Wide Midfielder as opposed to an out and out Winger which is what we need, what about Valencia or Krancjar?

[the wes 7,212]

Valencia is a good wee player
