Yes it is. If Benteke goes it's because the valuation Villa have placed on him has been met; shame to lose him but at the same time it has made the club £25m.

No one even uses their full squad, anyway. A bunch of kids who might get 5mins on the field in the final game of the group stage make up the last 3 or 4 players of Arsenal's squad.

Yeah arsenal still have room on their 25 man roster but a couple first team players count as U21 and don't need to be registered.

I realize that, but they're effectively putting themselves at a bit of a disadvantage by not being able to register a full squad for Europe.

Given their performance in Europe with a full squad, I'm not sure we'll be able to tell the difference.

Clark and Okore are injury liabilities but I really liked their partnership and think we will be solid at the back this season if they can stay healthy. Kozak might finally play, which would be cool.

Ogden/Jackson are usually pretty reliable. Probably means Di Maria is a goner though with Depay and Pedro on the wings and the emphasis on possession play.

Can't stop another club from buying him which means they're effectively selling him although they didn't choose to. Subtle difference I know but one that was pretty obvious from his post.

Would fit into our system of play better and would hopefully have an impact similar to Sanchez. In any case, he would be more consistent than Di Maria and actually manage to hold onto the ball.

Lol Pedro isn't even close to Sanchez.

I honestly think he's the kind of player that won't look very good outside of Barca. He's a good finisher but he's not physically gifted (like Sanchez is) nor is he overly creative.

Francois_Dillinger posted:

Villa haven't decided to sell Benteke; the valuation that Villa placed on him has, allegedly, been met so contractually he can talk to whoever meets that valuation. Why would Villa want to get rid of Benteke?

I've read elsewhere that originally Delph was told by City that he would be behind Pogba in the pecking order, but over the last week that situation changed. Who knows. In any case, this is a bit of a weasel move after releasing a statement that he was staying last week.

It's nice that we're in for top midfielders like a Pogba or a Delph

I watched Pedro score a brace against Llevante six years ago or some poo poo while i was tanked on 10 or so Estrellas and he was good at taking balls from an in prime Xavi and and in prime Iniesta and kicking them into the back of the net, sometimes hard, sometimes not. He'll surely slot right in at 2015 Manchester United featuring Adnan Jauziaia and coached by a retarded Dutchman, thanks for reading this Pituae post.

Juwt when you thought the owls cpuldbt possibly sigb any more players, Sheffield Wednesday have signed Watford midfielder Lewis McGugan for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.

The 26-year-old spent time on loan at Hillsborough last season, scoring three goals in 22 league appearances across two spells.

He told the club website: "It's been a stressful few days and I'm glad it's over the line now."
