all these players would strengthen the current squad.
im holding back the cock sucking until he adequately replaces a single one of the players you listed.
ade out, chamakh and park in
Koscielny is a much better player than Kolo was, certainly at the end. Vermaelen has had probably his worst season since he joined us, but he's still got a lot more chance to be a decent centre half than Toure.
£15m was good business... he's never worth that. Where is he in the City pecking order? 4th behind Savic? Maybe 3rd at a push, but Kolo been frauding it up...
It's basically the same amount as we spent on Ox... and when you're in the process of getting your finances straight, these are the decisions you have to make... take 15m for an ehhh CB you picked up on the cheap to cop a genuinely world class potential player?.... you gotta do it.
Similarly if you can get £25m for Ade who's always had major flaws in his game and pick up a hungry breh like Podolski for £11m then use the other £14m elsewhere, go for it.
Going into the season with Chamakh and Park as striking alternatives was a bad move, and we should've had a better striker in there, but he's acted to try and fix that. Will be interesting to see how Podolski fills in across the front line and all is not quite lost with Vinho yet... Ox will probably get some games as a FW too.... they do need one more CF, but all clubs have made errors...
Utd with Owen, Chelsea/Liverpool pissing money away on strikers that haven't worked, Chelsea again thinking Sturridge was capable of playing a game which involves team mates... Spurs offloading Pav and bringing in Saha...
