Xabi is also far superior on the ball and an infinitely better passer than Flam (does more with the ball and won't lose the ball as much) Xabi also possesses a better shot. And as for professional temperament is there any comparison. Wenger and Wrighty7 know this much, now so do you. <BR/><BR/>Why we may not get him?

Alonso is too expensive, and he's not going to run flat out and cover every inch of the pinch like Flamini did. Yes, we probably need someone with Premiership experience to slot straight in, but I can't see it being Barry either.<BR/>I'd like to see an experienced signing too, but more likely it will be Diaby.

We need a midfielder with a higher workrate and hopefully pace, who will harry the opposition and win the ball. This is why the Cesc/Flamini partnership worked so well last season, Flam did the majority of the dirty work to free up Cesc. I really do rate Xabi, I think he's a technically gifted player and fine passer, but he would not fill the role we need filled. Unfortunately, I don't think either Diaby or Denilson do either, and unless this is addressed our midfield will look incomplete indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-48734765791759952002008-08-04T21:00:00.000+01:002008-08-04T21:00:00.000+01:00Wrighty, this signing makes absolute sense.

He could easily deputize for fab in any event and help nurture the young talent coming through. With a signing like Xabi we would have a devastating midfield. Not many could compare to Alonso Fabregas, Nasri, and Walcott or Rosicky.<BR/>The the factor that leads me to belive this deal will actually be done is the fact that if Liverpool indeed want to land Barry they need to recoup some of that money and Arsenal seem to be the only suitors as of now.Lord Nachohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542276742355876730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-19039186825074958522008-08-04T20:56:00.001+01:002008-08-04T20:56:00.001+01:00Have to disagree.
