i never said BA will flourish at arsenal, but he will definitely give them a good outlet. instead of having a hopelessly tired giroud play 90 minutes of each and every game and by the end of those games he is sometimes literally dragging his legs, they would have BA take the pressure off him. BA may not have scored having mata, hazard, oscar behind him but he was good enough to be a part of winning PL games (when FT was playing in the europa league) and in the end helped us finish 3rd. arsenal would do well with the "winning part" of my sentence.

Yes, I agreed with the notion there just like I already stated in the previous post.

also u keep saying BA would be PLAN A at spurs and the only argument u have given to that is his physicality and directness meanwhile ignoring what i wrote in my last reply. how do u think BA (even if he is PLAN A) would improve spurs at the moment. but as u said each to his own.

I did actually and apologies if it wasn't made clear. Whether to Arsenal and Tottenham, Ba would improve them in different ways. With Arsenal, he will give them a different option/Plan B if their initial plan isn't working and/or be a decent backup option to Giroud. As with Tottenham, he will improve them by adding to their squad depth and when I said he's closely aligned to their Plan A because of his physical and target man abilities, if you like, I meant that he can fit it in seamlessly into given he's similar to Adebayor. Say if Adebayor is rested or injured, then Ba can come in for him in almost like-for-like replacement. And moreover, with Spurs playing 2 strikers these days under Sherwood, Ba is likely to get more game time there than he has been here.

u r still not getting what i want to say. probably i am unable to explain myself.

ba is a decent player. he has his moments of magic (city and utd) but he is also a very limited player. If BA is a player in any of the TOP 6 or rather TOP 7 these days (including everton), then he should be 2nd or a 3rd striker option (with all due respect to him). If Ba is transfered to Tottenham, and is given a first team role along with adebayor/soldado, i really dont see how that improves tottenham or makes a difference to us. and that is my main point. i dont see it affecting us in a negative way. BA + adebayor/soldado upfront does not have your heart thumping like SAS or Rvp+rooney. hence if we get a good offer, i dont see any point in not selling him since he is barely going to play a part this season and is definitely not going to play a part in the next.

No, I totally understand what you're saying. It's just that I disagreed with what you said. As I mentioned earlier, I guess it's each to their own. :)

Watching Villa these days and I just wonder, what the heck are they doing in the Premier League?! Offers almost next to nothing. Decent at times, absolutely appalling at others. And one of the worse things of watching Villa is that they never seem to improve from their mistakes. Almost every game, you see them keep on making the same mistakes, especially defensively, again and again and again. :doh:
