I don't really like this as Arteta would play too many games. Big teams are going to steamroll Arteta. Having Cavani will just make us crush the minnows by more goals but against the top teams Arteta would be a liability.

Finished my first season as Southampton manager.
6th and I qualified for Europa league, beating Liverpool at Anfield 1-0 to secure my place

I'm really looking forward to that game because Wilson is likely to feature.
Why the rush?
They don't what to make the same mistake as last season.
You calling Fellaini a mistake m8?
At £27m, YES!

Yes. Yes he was.
It's dead m8, and I'm glad. It's luverly not to hear muppets in the press go on about Spurs & 4th. I'll take fighting off Everton and Newcastle for 5th/6th and
Fellaini ending up being a massive failure, but it would of been seen as a quality to decent signing if we had brought him in on July 1st instead of deadline day. People would have said it was a safe but reassuring move for Moyes getting one of his own, and he was coming off a real good year.
I think I've resigned myself to hoping for some good football and looking forward to the new stadium. Levy's finally forced the last businessmen in the area out of their homes and livelihoods so we should be seeing more than just a giant Sainsburys soon.

Directv says the Europa League game ft. Tottenham is on right now but they have a preseason ACMilan game on instead. What did I, or DTV get wrong?

I don't see where he can fit.
He's too slow and dangerous for defense work and the one thing he's adept at, in offense, is better filled with Mata, Rooney, Kagawa.
He said his preferred role is DMF.

He say this once he realized he will get no burn at any other position?
Hopefully it becomes a big enough "distraction" that he leaves MoPo alone to do his job.
Winning the Europa gets you into the cl. Worth taking it seriously, no?
He played much higher up at Everton, and did the same for Belgium most of the time. His height is what makes him playable. Nothing else!
I'm just not sold on either Khedira or Willy so am hesitant to commit long term to them.
Haven't seen enough of Willy though. Could definitely be wrong on him.

Yep. He was bad at the games where he was DMF. How many players has he elbowed so far?
Christ just seeing Levy's stony face after we scored that extra time winner against West Ham gave me palpitations.
I'm hoping for 2-3 seasons for MoPo at least, probably going to end up being 2-3 months...

Even if they're not that good, they have got to be better than Flamini or Arteta.
Don't even ask. He must be one of the dirtiest players around!

He's dead on the inside. :-/
AC Milan Consider Fernando Torres As Plan B To Replace Liverpool Bound Mario Balotelli.
Please let the Martinez deal fall through!

My life is over.
I take it your a Milan fan?
I'm sold on Khedira as a player but not sold on the stupidity of his wage demands, He can go elsewhere with that shit.
LOL. Torres doesn't want a wage cut. That rules out Milan completely, in fact all Italian teams.

They should just go for Chicharito. The guy can score goals if you give him playing time, will happily come off the bench so long as he gets a good amount of minutes and will be cheap.
Don't doubt that.
The question is how much better do they make us.
If it comes down to Cavani or one of those two I am taking Cavani everytime.

Without question. I would be slightly scared of Arsenal + Cavani.
Khedira's wage demands: as long as he is a first team starter, I don't really care what we pay him. Just keep the contract short so it doesn't turn into an albatross, that's more important to me than the wage.
I don't like Khedira, but he's a known quantity. We know what he can do, we know what he can't. if the stuff about him being offered to us for 13m is true, I think we have to bite at that price and if that means using the money we would be spending on a fee on his wages, I don't mind.
edit: and obviously we have a gaping hole at striker and it's probably the area with the greatest room for improvement... but it's also the area least likely to be improved this summer.

No I'm a lifelong Liverpool, PSG, and Real Madrid fan. Never heard of Milan.
It's a rumor that has popped up a few times this summer. Whether there is any validity to it remains to be seen.
