Spurs are currently better than arsenal though so I'd already say he was at a pretty high level

--------------

Arsenal 2008 > Spurs 2013 fact not an opinion

We would get stuffed by our 2008 side now while spurs only just beat us at their ground

Agreed but spurs now > arsenal imo

Not by much but they're better imo

ok what about if you take bale out of the picture?

or if you want to be fair both our best players. Id consider cazorla as our best player

I'd still argue spurs were better personally

Lloris > Sczesny
Walker => Sagna
Kaboul > Mertesacker
Vertonghen < Vermaelen
Assou-Ekotto < Monreal
Sandro < Arteta
Dembele < Wilshere
Lennon < Walcott
Sigurdsson < Cazorla
Bale > Podolski
Defoe > Giroud

6-5 to us individually but agree spurs probably are more assertive in attack, better team spirit maybe

id have suarez at no1 for this year, top scorer, a good amount of assists, and i think its only baines ahead of him for chances created this season

and id still have spurs without bale than arsenal without caz/wilsh, spurs have holtby or dempsey that would slot into his new position, and thats still stronger than what arsenal have in reserve

Vertonghen < Vermaelen
Sandro < Arteta

id disagree with those 2 personally, vermy has been average this season, and verts would be a good contender for the premier league team of the year, and arsenal are dying for a sandro type of player that would be much better for their team than arteta

Begovic/Cech
Rafael Shawcross Vertonghen Baines
Mata Michu Fellaini Bale
Suarez RVP

Imo

Love how Garth Crooks put Ramires RW in his team of the week when he played CM, and Townsend RB

Arsenal didnt concede this weekend, maybe szczesny should be GK

tranq personally think vertonghen has been average this year. hes only just been put back into cb. hes played better at lb this season and its not his natural position

put Terry CB, hasnt been at fault for any goals this season

or do a garth crooks

------------------Forster----------------
RVR-----Dragovic-----Nastasic----BMI
---------------Illarramendi--------------
Narsingh--------Moses-------Ocampos
------------Benteke--Lukaku-----------

if all fit may play this next U-21 game

u21 this week

is it...

dragovic out as well as is BMI

if they play u21 they cant be involved at weekend is that right?

its an injury free week cause its fa cup and they can play but obviously fatigue will have an effect, u21 games much more fast tepo than normal games, its if they played this weekend that counts towards them being played in u21

not playing anyone who will feature for first team this week so quite a weakened u21, chance for Boga, Bazoer, Yirango

i think wolves can still catch up with the europa pack if tactics and transfers are good. just need someone more committed than me lol

dunno wether to sign Lindegaard or not he hardly plays but def need a better back up than Forster he should be 3rd choice really

Forster
RVR-Dragovic-Nastasic-BMI
Illaramendi
Narsingh-Powell-Ocampos
Morata-Lukaku

Beeney, Bossaerts, Rekik, Polo, Berardi, De Jong (if i still have him) Rhodes

Neuer
Lahm-Kompany-Subotic-Sakho
Khedira
Cesc-Vidal
Moses-Aguero-Neymar

Forster, Baines, Bender, Hamsik, Mkhit, Hulk, Benteke

reckon i can steer Southampton to safety, will be very difficult mind

its not too late for soton but now we're into the 2nd half of the season its going to be difficult. not many teams below qpr/sunderland pick up that many points so to claw back that gap with 17 games left is going to be hard

its league cup this week too

thing is I have managed to change them round alot a with a front 4 of

Jesus Navas---Kaka---El Shaaawary
---------------Negredo-----------------

I will be a threat to most teams really in the bottom half

my wolves strike force - llorente, bony, dost, vucinic, doumbia

aye but thats not your front 5 is it

cant see any better in the bottom half than Soton

my defensive midfielders - biglia, gargano, mavuba

wingers - isla (others on loan so my main area to improve)

CM/AM - Pastore, Asamoah, Cabella,

CBs - Benatia, Mbiwa, Samba, De Vrij, Lombaerts, Collocini

Full Backs - Juanfran, Cissokho, Oxcipka, Soares,

GK - Mandanda, Mignolet

Others - Taylor, Coady, Berisha, O'Hara, Tore,

This is not including loans ^

So the main areas for me/next manager to improve is the wing position, centre mid and full backs imo

the first 11

-----------------Mandanda
Juanfran--Benatia--Mbiwa--Cissokho
-----------Gargano--Asamoah
Isla--------------Pastore----------Gaitan
-------------------Llorente

still has potential imo
