Veloso would be a good signing, whether he is interested in Lyon after being touted by the bigger boys in Europe remains to be seen. Demichellis I would not be to keen on, he doesnt work in our system of play, he is probably to robust and lacking in mobility. And I would rather we dont have Delgado, I remain unconvinced of his benefits.

apparently Fox Sports En Espanol is confirming that Cesar Delgado is joining. Plus im watching the Cruz Azul game and he isnt mentioned (my spanish listening skills are sub par, even though im ecuadorian ). But HIS reason for joining lyon are funny to me, he’s joining to better his chances to play for the Argentina National Team. He must not be aware of those two guys named Messi and Tevez playing in Europe also.

Crosas is far, far to inexperienced to fight the cause against man u-he has only made a handfull of proffesional appearences-here how bout demichellis of bayern in DM who can play CB to. …not cup tied!

The staff gave up the idea of signing L.Diarra.
Other names are being mentioned, like Marc Crosas from Barça.

Nevertheless I would prefer Veloso from Sporting Portugal, since he can play as DM, CB and LB.

Yer but inara, we are playing who i think are the best team in the world(man utd) and im a pesimist who thinks we will go out so we would only need the player in your opinion for 1/2 games ?

Id sign Felliani over Diarra any day. And Mathieu.

Ronan: Diarra is cuptied and pretty much useless. If Toulalan gets suspended or injured in the CL, we won’t have anyone. You can’t expect that Toulalan will be available for all European matches.

Plus Lacombe said that Diarra doesn’t want to return to France and will probably stay in England.

Thanks for the info, Caio! I really like Fabio Santos and am glad that he’ll be coming back.

I know people are abducted everywhere, but it seems that footballer’s families are big targets in Brazil. It’s one of the reasons Cris and his wife don’t want to return there. Though as you said, it happens everywhere. I guess it’s just more publicized in Brazil though.

I just resd thst lyon want to sign diarra but that they think arsene wenger wont let him go-???????????????????-WOT??????? A. Arsene wenger barely plays diarra except from in cup compititions which he doesnt care about anyway. B. Diarra let a story out in the french press saying he wanted to leave—- Again the fact lyon have said they want him but he kind of isnt available is bullshit! Yet again its the stingy board not willing to pull there weight in transfers-Diarra wouldnt be expensive anyway-about 5mill(english sterling)- and also the lacombe guy is happy not to sign a left back and just play bodmer or kallstom there instead-tite bastards! Dont even talk to me about the swap of fred for delgado because ill probly want to murder Aulas!!
