Was just a joke. The strength in depth is incredible, a decent left back and I reckon you're an outside punt at the title.

Ah, I should have seen that, I'm not a Spurs supporter though. I reckon they should at least try to get Luke Shaw he's already proven himself to be a capable defender at 18, he's certainly one for the future.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.

When you say alive do you mean still playing or off all the footballers living on the planet even retired one?

Feel sorry for Anelka.Who was the agent?
I don't feel bad for WBA though :)
Flamini coming back would be a good homecoming but is he a good back up :meh:

Flamini is better than half the midfielders in the Arsenal squad right now, and has top level experience that the majority of your squad does not.
I fail to see how this is anything but a solid addition.

He's on a free, isn't he? Fuck I'd have him, we'd have decent back-up/competition for Lucas for the first time in 3 years then.

Ah, I should have seen that, I'm not a Spurs supporter though. I reckon they should at least try to get Luke Shaw he's already proven himself to be a capable defender at 18, he's certainly one for the future.


Luke Shaw is part of my dream defense an United. Yeah sure there's Buttner, but I would really love Luke Shaw in our defense, even more than Leighton Baines, considering their comparative ages. We already have Phil Jones, another young English defender with a very bright future in my opinion (thats assuming he won't become more of a midfielder under Moyes). Add Martin Kelly (not that I don't like Rafael), and then keep Vidic in for the experience, and I would cry tears of joy. This is all wishful thinking though.

Buttner's leaving isn't he? Besiktas, or something? Maybe it was a loan deal, can't remember details.

Oh, fuck yeah! Can fill in at left back as well, as he did the season we reached the CL final. And kept two clean sheets each against Juventus and Real Madrid.
