As Woof said recently said, I don't think I could bear Arshavin signing for us. With a player with that name and a cow-owner called Gillette, the jokes would be unbearable.

Yup.  Signed with them just before the World Cup from FC Koln.  Apparently. he's only scored 17 goals in 72 appearances for them, which might explain why he's linked with Spurs rather than a top club.  I'm sure his fee will go up after doing well in Switzerland-Austria but he'd still be a cheaper option than Villa, I reckon.

Podolski has mostly played second string to Klose and Toni this season, and the season before that he wasn't a regular aswell, as far as I remember. Would be quite a good shout I reckon, but only for the right price. He's not worth nearly as much as Villa imo.

Keep the far superior Alonso, and buy Villa with the Barry money...

Its the only thing that makes sense Lando ive been sayin for ages form is temperary class is permenant.

What does class do for the team? Does it wins you matches ? Lets look at the bigger picture , class does not win you premier league titles , form does and that what alonso has clearly been lacking for the past 3 seasons .

Of course class counts, im not sayin hes the saviour but we shouldnt be gettin rid of a player with the abilty of Alonso we should be keeping them type of players and adding, Different games suit different players. We want quality running right through the squad not just the first team. AN im not saying Xabi is not a first teamer cause he is imo, But its heartbreakin to see us having to sell a quality player just to buy.

I mean ok Barrys a good player like but i prefer Xabi

Barry hasnt exacly set the world alight an it looks like were the only ones bidding for him,

I said he'd of been a useful addition about two years ago. 

Well then you were right.  He had a good World Cup in 06 but is even better in these European Championships.  Plus, he's been seasoned nicely with 2 years at a big club.   He'd cost a fair wad of cash but probably would not be in the Villa or Eto'o bracket.  Plus, his game would suit the Prem, IMO.

The same barry that is keeping a 18 million carrick and hargreaves and also lampard out of the side and also i doubt alonso has set the world alight either .

The very same Barry who has made only a handful of appearances in friendlies and the odd qualifying appearance. Lets not build him up to be what he isnt.
