So to bring back the gloom, with Barca open to offers for Cesc, if Van Gaal takes him to united....

AW hasn't spent years developing Ramsey and Jack only to now make way for that back heeling Barca reject to retake his position.

nobody left but the fans...

He better not go to United. Dortmund. I like Dortmund...

Box to box. Strong, powerful, only one who doesn't constantly get injured :-(

the defense imvho. Shaw will cost them around £30m and they'll probably buy a couple of centre backs too, plus a winger.

If they play 4--5-1/4-3-3 next year it will be Mata as the attacking mid with Strootman and Cleverley/Carrick behind him.

[Paul Vaessen's moment of glory]

ground, with a lounge and a dark room for his horniest fans, you know, the ones with Barsenal DNA.

[Alexism - Atheoist]

We'll replace Sagna (well, we'll find another right back :cry: ) a striker with pace, a backup keeper, a replacement for Vermaelen if he leaves, and then maybe a left winger (Vela?)

That's a lot of signings right there. More likely we get the DM next year.

A few years if you said to someone - the 4 4 2 would be near extinction in a couple years time they would not have believe you.

Same win these players....they are coming in younger and younger...16 and 17 and playing game after game at the top level....they therefore hit their peaks a lot sooner than before,,,in the old days if you 27-28-29 that was awesome...you were at the age when you hit your peak...

Think the lad is on the wane and I don't like how Barca have blunted his. Midfielder instincts by playing him as a striker...what a joke.

Not sure where he play either....we're overloaded with attacking midfield talent...only place would be in front of the back 4 but Ramsey is the man now and what we need next to him is a Vieira type...not a Cesc,,.,

[Luis Anaconda]

well, he probably did it himself, clumsy f**ker

[Pokster]

so if TV leaves we need a CB, a striker and a more physical midfield player imo

plus a GK of course
