    Opinion: never going to happen.

    Analysis: Vurnon Anita is almost a copy of Nathan Dyer of Swansea. Same height, same type of player. Anita isn't a LB but more of a midfielder. He is a midget compared to the average height of LB's in the EPL. He is suitable as LB in the Eredivisie but not in the Premier League. He is quick, he is agile. But he is not a defender, that's why Van Marwijk dropped him out of the selection for the EC. As a defensive midfielder he is at his best. His passing and tactical skills are fine but his work rate and mentality is what stands out. He is like the small version Dirk Kuyt in that aspect. His man marking and tackling are great but his height(5ft 6) is his main weakness.
    I would rule him therefor not suitable for EPL.

    Sid...I'm good thanks, how are you and yours?


    I joined the toonforum and ocassionlly pop in to not606 to offer my pearls of wisdom.

    To be honest I've been working like a galley slave for the past few months because I'm under pensioned and I guess still in demand, therefore the dollar is still important.

    As long as the old legs will still support me whilst I'm still coaching I'll keep on going, fortunately I've got a couple of players(no name dropping) who if they don't follow my mantra of ale enjoyment could well top up my retirement fund...:emoticon-0100-smile

    I hope you're well and looking forward to Championship football season after next..<ok>

    Interesting link. Only seen him a few times but looked handy. He would certainly be good in terms of the squad, an additional option at left back and defensive midfield. Hopefully he'll be in addition to Tiote. Possibility of releasing Cabaye if so in a midfield three. Could also take some of the load off Tiote and maybe help reduce his booking count.

    Rumours on twitter that the fee has been agreed. Not sure if that's true but would be a great signing if it's an addition to the squad.

    Think we all would but there is still along way to go, so I'm sure that Carr, Pardew and anyone else involved with our transfers will address those problems between now and August 18 or 31.

    ----------Krul----------
    RB-Saylor-Colo-Santon
    ---tiote----Anita-------
    -------Cabaye---------
    Benny------Ba/marveaux
    -------Papiss----------

    solid in defense, lets cabaye work his magic and the attacking three get to play with freedom.

    if we are in for anita and dont sell tiote, does this mean we are building a team round cabaye? rite move if you ask me
