Either by buying it or rapidly nuturing it, the gunners need an improved defence. Our attacking game is one of the best around but we are lacking at the back. I am sorry to say Lehman has to go.
Assuming Chelsea have tapped up Ash then squeeze the Russian for £25 million + Carlo Cudicini.
Add Kovac (free AFAIK) as an experienced CB
Add Kompany (£10 mil?) as the young one
Add Owen (£10 mil?) as your striker
Add Bernard (free) so Clichy doesn't have to play every game
Add SWP (£18mish?) as your fantasy
Actually that leads a bunch off free money so get Hleb too.
Then go and steal a couple of players from Class 1A of the Milano playgroup with big money contracts.
I like the idea of Bernard, i've always liked him and didn't know he was free, i can't see Cole moving to Chelsea though, probably La Liga if he goes so we'd probably have to settle for less money.
I hope we get Hleb, he looks like more than the tits. More like a double d cup. I've read he can play brilliantly in attacking roles on the right, left and even in the middle if need be. It's killing three birds with one stone :shades:
