Ummm yeah I watch every game. It's not "Donovan this, Donovan that" it's are we a better side with him in the lineup? YES. Where did I say I didn't like Coleman? I LOVE Coleman. I'd kill to see Coleman and LD on the right side overlapping.
Oh and by the way, are you saying we couldn't use Donovan on corners? Arteta has been utter [Poor language removed] on corners this year.
As for our strike force, Yak was awesome yesterday. But if you're telling me that having a striker who can put 15-20 goals away ever year wouldn't propel us into the elite, then you're high. Yak has scored 20 for us exactly 1 time since he's been here. If he starts actually scoring AND playing every game, then maybe it's not a need.
Disagree with the Felli thing, but I do agree about the corners.
LD's are to die for, and Arteta's have been shameful.
Agreed. He should give them all to Baines and Bily.

Just so everyone is clear...I am a Felli fan. I love the guy. But I can add. We have a ton of central midfielders and and we are glaringly short on the wings...and no one is even mentioning the fact that Pienaar is probably gone after this year (at least there is no indication he's going to sign).

LD is not a solution for the left. If you're going to fork out the money, you get a dedicated left winger/midfielder, not a Right winger.
And our central midfielders are all mostly old -- 28/29. If you only think about the present, you can **** up your future.
Actually LD's preferred position is on the left. He much prefers to cut in, much like Pienaar does. Moyes stuck him on the right because that's where we needed him.
As for our central mids...I'm really thinking about how do we get Rodwell on the field every week (if you go back to my original post in this thread)? Before last week, I would thrown Barkley into the mix for a few years down the road, but who knows now?
I'd like to see a 4-2-3-1 at some point, with Rodwell and Fellaini in the holding role, Arteta more advanced.
