If we want to give him real competition then mikael landreau has come to a mutual agreement to free him from his contract after a fall-out with the coach. May be worth a look.
I think he'll go eventually (as we've dropped too many points already for CL - yeah 3 points off but I just think we'll struggle to be that close with a tricky December!) and we need clubs like Zenit bidding to drive up his price.
Dembele is top notch - he would have been a brilliant player for us working with Felli! I remember a couple on here saying we'd missed a trick when Fulham picked him up and they certainly weren't wrong.
I hope we've got a sell-on clause!
If he and Moyes can put what happened behind them then he and jags could still give us at least 3 quality years. Loan to buy - in the summer he's in his last 12months.
Gibson is a massive player for us - initially we coped well in his absence but it is clear now that teams are coming through us too easily. I think we need to go back to Felli and Gibbo (I change my mind re. Felli's role weekly!) with 3 of Ossie/Pienaar/Mirallas/Oviedo/Naismith playing off Jelavic in the 4-2-3-1 formation we are playing. Felli and Gibbo will help us dominate the middle and hopefully keep leads! I'd actually like to see us go out and get another striker in Jan who is ready to compete with Jela as I think he needs that on the back of his form this season.
Baines/Oviedo/Osman were the only ones to turn up - very frustrating!!! Moyes annoyed me today - we needed Barkley on for Pienaar or Naismith on 60-70mins - maybe he doesn't trust the players he had on the bench but we looked tired in areas and it needed freshening up! Another 2 points lost and disappointingly a fair result overall!
Your recouped figures are wrong for at least Liverpool and Man.Utd... Torres? Ronaldo? and Arse have sold Cesc, Clichy, Nasri and RVP for a lot more than above - in fact they're all wrong!!!
Edit: just saw the club by club table - that's better - seen similar before!
