I would happily take it but unfortunately I don't think it's likely.Some of the vaulting masters on here must be licking their lips at the thought of vaulting you to death if we bring a late flurry of top deals in mate.
Imagine if we'd have got Mata, Witsel, Carvalho and Koulibaly. We'd have a shout at top 3.![]()
Osman? Do me a favour, he was lightweight. A 'take some small part in moves' type player, not a highly creative one. Similarly, Pienaar held onto and screened the ball well, and laid it off. Not massively creative. Arteta is the only one you mention who could change the flow of a game single handedly quickly. Martinez brought Deulofeu to the club and he could, and can, do that very same thing. He tried also bringing in Eto'o to do that but it didn't quite work out.Martinez has Osman amongst others to thank for that first season. How many points did him, Pienaar and Naismith rescue for him? Then of course he got clever and decided he didn't need them and that Clev and Kone would provide creativity ha.
We've not replaced the footballers in Moyes' team. Arteta Osman Pienaar, we don't have anyone in the squad who could get on the ball and make stuff happen like these three did. We have lots of direct wingers and shielding midfielders. Ross can on occasion but is a bit more individualistic. I thought once Mata rumours disappeared we would go for a lesser player of that ilk but we seem to have diverted our attention to wingers. Unless Koeman sees Brahimi/ Gabbiadini (should we get either) as this type of player, not seen them myself.
