Haha Ozil benched & even worse no DM,no way can Real win UCL with this. You cant play 3 CM's & expect to get away with it.

Being Khedira/Lass' back up is living the dream :bow:

what a goat

Because Yaya can do everything that khedira does but even better

Real Madrid doesnt play with a real DM (Khedira and Xabi both arent), I think most people would argue that the difference between Real Madrid and La decima is actually a stronger more solid midfield

How does this relate to Sahin? If Yaya comes, he's killed - you have to bench Özil or Di Maria/Benzema/Ronaldo to make a place for Sahin and Yaya. Unless Xabi somehow goes on a huge decline, which I doubt he will anytime soon - Sahin won't get a chance as a starter.

Sahin only hope is to challenge Xabi's position anyway, because we wont play Xabi-Sahin much.

Khedira is the one that would see the bench.

I actually had the same theory. The main reason Alonso is playing so much is because Mourinho doesnt trust anyone in our midfield but Alonso. With someone like Yaya around, he could actually afford to rotate more, so long as he has one of those two on the pitch.

Di Maria would probably see bench.

We saw Xabi-Khedira-Kaka-Ozil-Ronnie-Benzema playing together for a long period of time, Xabi-Yaya-Sahin-Ozil-Ronnie-Benzema would be an upgrade to that certainly

Either Sahin or Ozil would be on the wing Yuri. In either case, is that a good idea Yuri?

by Mr Nick09 Mon May 21, 2012 8:22 pm

In big games, it's not a bad idea. Di Maria is kind of suspect in big european games because of his predictability.

It is definitely worth trying, i think. But you would lose Di Maria's work rate in such a case.

We dont want his work rate. We want to work less, just be more efficient.

Sahin to Arsenal is done. He passed his medical today and trained with Arsenal. He'll be anounced tomorrow. The details will be disclosed tomorrow as well. Good luck to him and Arsenal.

From a Times journo (no idea of this lad's reliability, mind):

Gary Jacob ‏@garyjacob

@Jack_Sear_ @E_Z1ya Arsenal looking at other options. Sahin is not as advanced as been said. Not sure what happened

Daily mail saying the deal has stalled.

a Liverpool ITK says, Liverpool have made an attempt to hijack Arsenal's hijack, which originally hijacked the deal from LFC on thursday, when Liverpool had once hijacked it from AFC on wednesday.

wtf Very Happy

by VanDeezNuts Tue Aug 21, 2012 5:17 am

the deal wont go through until madrid have modric imo, which will wait until tottenham sign someone

-lots of moving parts in this deal

Liverpool.

I want Arsenal to win and all but Liverpool deserves him more....and it would maintain the slim chance we have of getting him back.
