Epl 2013-14

[pegasi]

Ilori (Sportin Lisbon) & Sakho (PSG) are defenders. Now we are flushed with defenders.

Leftback: Enrique/Cissokho
Rightback: Johnson/Wisdom/Kelly/Flanagan
Centre Back: Agger/Skrtel/Toure/Illori/Kelly/Sakho

Wisdom may be loaned out and Rafa may do a last min bid for Skrtel. Would be sad to see Skrtel go because even though he had a bad season, he turned out an immense MOTM performance against ManU. I think Skrtel needs more time to adjust to Brendan's pass & move.

Kolo or Allen can be DM, if Lucas is injured but I prefer Kolo since he has a commanding presence and has more BPL experience.

The perceived "lack of depth" may be exposed more if Pool is in Europe but at the moment, its BPL and Carling Cup that we are competing in.

By "depth" I mean quality not quantity - and I assume you are gonna compete for the top four. But I must admit that I know very little about your new signings but merely based my assessment on lack of big name signing and the fact that two of your subs against a top team like Man U yesterday were Sterling and Wisdom.

Arsenal need both quality and quantity after clearing out some dead woods...By any chance would Liverpool need Nicklas Bendtner?

Haha! Thanks but no thanks to Bendtner!

Quality... hmm! Tough one! Would you consider Suarez once he return from his ban as a quality signing?

Sterling & Wisdom seem like quality... for the future!

As for quality, look at Spurs! Immerse quality signings but against your Gooners, they look like great individuals but have not gelled into a team to grind out wins.

This year will be an interesting one and I am cautiously optimistic that we can break into the top 4. 3 heart stopping 1-0 wins, I doubt my heart can take it!

Yes, Suarez will be "like a new signing", hahaha.

My son supports Liverpool so I'll be cheering for the reds...when they aren't playing against Arsenal

By the way, this Premier Football Outlet at IMM is selling Liverpool last season's jersey @ $29...

Thanks for the tip on the jersey! But I already bought it at the beginning of the last season!

I hope when Suarez comes back, it would not disrupt Sturridge! Maybe BR could play him and coutinho behind Sturridge!

Let's see if anyone comes and goes on the final day of transfer!!

[azrielsc]

Ooo.... Ozil to Arsenal! Definitely a good buy!

Confirm already? I read somewhere that terms between Ozil and the Club was not agreed upon. May be a false info though..

Ozil pass medical
Now waiting for signature

[azrielsc]

I know it is a bit difficult to get to the Groups!

Have to say that being in Champions League action does attract the stars! Too bad Pool can't do that!

YNWA!

Announcement due in this hour. Ozil will wear the no. 11 shirt. Palermo's keeper Viviano is also close to complete. Still time for Ba...

Very bad news for gunners - Bendtner's talk at Crystal Palace did not yield any result. Quite why Palace want to sigh both Arsenal's flops Chamakh & Bendtner is not very clear.
