Summer mercato 2012

[ACMILAN1983]

lol, atene you really want to see De Sciglio as a starter it seems. Tbh, imo if the kid's ready then by all means I'm up for giving him the starting shirt. Thing is, last season we did only see him a couple of times and that's not a real indication that he's ready yet.

Either way, the way I see it we still need a new fullback. Presuming we can eventually sell Taiwo, Didac and Mesbah and De Sciglio and Abate are our starting fullbacks, then we would only have Antonini as backup and so would need another backup.

There's one other possibility too. Abate rumours are slowly growing with PSG, so maybe De Sciglio could play RB. I don't think Abate will be sold though personally, with maybe his agent looking to get a new contract?

those are all great names can we get khedira tasci lol have a solid strong german presence

I don't think we'll see Tasci come now, especially if Mbiwa's bought. Tasci distanced himself from the rumours too and committed to Stuttgart.

Names of the day:
Kaká, Alessandro Matri, Micah Richards and Sami Khedira.

Personally I would say:

Kaka: No
Matri: Maybe as a squad player
Richards: Not particularly keen on him (btw, very unlikely imo)
Khedira: Not a player I would oppose by any means

Never forget Arsenal has a very good image in France thanks to Arsene Wenger and the big number of French players who have been involved in that team over the years ...

So if Arsenal comes in the race sooner or later, I wouldn't be that confident.

PS : I can't be French, I hate Arsene Wenger and Arsenal !!

True, but Arsenal right now have bigger worries with Van Persie and getting others. Mbiwa as I'm aware was only linked to them, but I don't think would be priority, especially as they already have Mertesacker, vermaelen and koscielny.

If we don't mess around over this transfer, which I don't think we'll do as we need to do a lot of work this summer, then I think we'll get Mbiwa quite comfortably.
