If only it was that easy.

Not beyond the realms of possibility though. Or something similarish.

I wouldn't want Ba purely for Arsenal's luck that as soon as he joined us his knee would explode

Thinking about other players though, I've watched Ganso + Lucas a fair bit and they look like great players, although they would have to bulk up a bit and work on their fitness. Brasil is nothing compared to the PL on intensity.

Other players could be Shaqiri? Looks a very good player and competiton for gervinho + Ryo, but it may be too much.

As for goal keepers, Vorm will cost a fair bit. A cheaper but still very good option would be Vincent Enyeama. I found out this guy is a beast of FM a couple of weeks ago, but I base my opinion of him on the World Cup and a few brief appearances otherwise. Backup in the Lille squad, solid and experienced. Would be great backup for us IMO.

Shaqiri just signed for Bayern for 9m euros

My dream squad (realistic):

Goalkeepers:

Szczesny, Fabianski, Martinez

RBs:

Sagna, Jenkinson ()

LBs:

Santos, Gibbs

CBs:

Koscielny, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Hangeland

DMs:

Coquelin, Song

CMs:

Wilshere, Arteta

CAMs:

Hernanes
Eriksen

Wingers/Inside Forwards:

Chamberlain
Gervinho
Mertens
Ayew

Strikers:

RVP
Negredo
Walcott

Fair enough. I don't know anything about him apart from the United game, but people have been raving about him

We'll all have to get used to seeing Djourou around the place for a long while yet. I bet that recently signed long term contract is over £40-50k per week.

There's not a club in the realm of Christendom likely to take him off our hands now.

Na it's only like last week he signed. Said he wants to be like Ribery

There's not a club in the realm of Christendom likely to take him off our hands now.

What about that club Gyan signed for? Maybe they'll buy him.

And off Bayern? How many wingers do they need?

Galatasaray isn't in Christendom is it?

There's still a chance then...

Lexy, Galatasaray were actually interested in signing Djourou a while back.

My signings and sellings would be
Players out: Almunia,Santos,Squillaci,Denilson,Diaby,Chamakh and Park

Players in: Cissokho, Sakho, Marvin Martin, Goetze/Hazard and Remy

Pretty sure Leeds isn't in the realm of Christendom so hopefully they get promoted.

Really Kam?

Squillaci linked to a move away in January... Chamakh linked to a move away in the summer and again in January... Almunia applied for a part-time job in Pret A Manger...

How is it we can never get rid of these players?

Where was Miquel today btw? He should ahead of Squillaci and probably Djourou as well in the pecking order!

Anyways, speaking of dreams...

Zzzz... Oh Marvin Martin... how great you look in your brand new Arsenal shirt.

Yeah it's late. Shweet dweams folks.

GK Szczesny, Fabianski, Martinez

RB: Sagna, Inkoom( Can perform Eboue role by playing several positions.)

CB: Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Hangeland

LB: Baines, Gibbs

CDM: Coquelin, Song

CM: Ramsey Arteta, Wilshere, Cabaye, Rosicky

W: Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho, Miyachi, Hazard

CAM: Lucas Moura

ATT: RVP, Podolski,Dembele, Afobe

Under 21 players included so even though 26 players included still squad space for the likes of Santos etc.

Night

Before I go, have you guys seen Batman's article on the City/United board about the FA Cup? The Squillaci comment alone had me in fits.

Yes I did see it. He also did a Champoins League one
