Yes we are trying to build a squad - but a balanced squad and we are nowhere near that currently . If Merieles doesn't go then Adam is just there to sit on the bench - it's a lot of money to spend on someone to warm the bench when we have such pressing needs elsewhere . By all means get another CM but sort other areas out first .
Still doesn't answer have people actually watched him and what he was like since Jan - what extra does he add to the squad - does he improve us ? No IMO .
As for Mata - wonderful player with a lot of intelligence and clever passing BUT he doesn't go out wide - he cuts inside all game long so that will be enough guy through the middle .
A balanced squad is key and it seems that's where we're going - if our reported targets are anything to go by anyway
As for Adam, I wish we signed him in January then we could have seen what he brings to the table before the summer transfer window, either way I'm glad he's here. Adam has a passing range Meireles simply does not have, we can sit all day and ask who's better but it all depends on what you need and when you need it.
We might be in negotiations with a lot of clubs Benny, if Villa accepted our first offer we'd have had Downing before Charlie. It's the way it goes, there's no evidence we're focusing on one target at a time and putting all of our eggs in one basket, look at how Sunderland are conducting themsleves for example - some clubs are just taking longer to negotiate with than others, Blackpool took 6 months ffs
one speaks so much sense.
Get on the link ave put on facey, you'll be bouncin
I think that tune deserves its own thread Ben
Good isnt he, not sure how to put tunes in threads though
Thought for a minute that Spearing might be off or something.
