If the team don't look down to their closest competitor, we will end up going down like now where we are standing at 5th place & also like wht happened end of last season.
Any way, wht is the difference between
Your cup is half empty & ours is half full ?
Our closest competitor is also Villa, so why not focus on catching them instead of constantly worry about Everton chasing us? What happened last season was a result of overwhelming injuries, the lack of adequate squad players, inability to recover from mediocre form (due to the previous 2 factors), and absolute shit luck with referees and important decisions.
If you think we're in deep shit, think back 05/06 where we needed the help of lasagne to ensure CL qualification. It ain't pretty, but we still made it. Again, have faith... oops I'm sorry that's something you never really had in the first place.
Someone else has already explained the quote, so I won't repeat it.

StarGhazzer don't be too mean, it's a blessing to an office guy like me to have tea time

Seriously, do we need an attacking player or a defensive player? Which one gets the highest priority?
Me mean?

Where got woh?

Our defensive side of the game does need a lot of repairs, but I can see why le Boss is focused on getting Arshavin. Look at our long term injury list - Fabs, Tommy, Dudu, Theo. The former 2 are our midfield engines, which without it we lack ammunition for our strikers; the latter duo are our gunbarrels where without it we lack penetration and attacking prowess. Arshavin, theoretically of course, would give us the edge in both creating and scoring.
Going back to the defence, I'm sure the team would welcome any good players be it CB or DM or even fullbacks. Any team would do so! But our main problem remains with the organisation, concentration, and ability to defend as a unit rather than individual shortcomings. JD has been impressive in his cameos and I fully expect him to retain the starting position till the end of the season if nothing bad happens to his legs. The other slot would be fought between Willy and Kolo, and currently Kolo seems to be emerging as the winner with the armband in his grasp too. Silvy would remain as a squad player, the very same reason why he was bought in the first place.
Still, I'd love to see Sendy return as a squad player ahead of Silvy
