Shaqiri I understand to add a dynamic option to the right flank and a bit of versatility and youth but Mata is the really puzzling one for me, Ekotto has LB nailed down so Bale wont be moving there I would imagine. What on earth is Harry planning moving for Mata?

Sorry Jamie, I really don't want to waste my time typing about Amauri. Good player but I would pass. If we ever need a pure physical strength, we will put Smalling upfront.
Maybe it was a sneaky attempt at raising the price for Arsenal to pay? Can't think of any other reasons tbh. What a waste of money that would have been.
He's a family man, would settle well in Manchester; looks good in gloves; enjoys under garments; likes the colour red; and has a young family.
And back to football he's an outstanding professional, brilliant athlete and is more than just brute strength, he brings flair and elegance to the mix with his power.
Last time I mention Amauri I promise...But how can you turn him down he's awesome.
I genuinely should be his agent.

You have same fetish with him like I have with Obertan... ( can you say it like that ? Have fetish with someone... I doubt it... so... Your fetish is Amauri, just like mine is Obertan. The same thing. Except Obertan is best winger in the world)
anyway..

He's the only football player in world football besides Totti/Maldini/Del Piero I genuinely 'love'.
And on the Obertan comparison, I'm not sure have you got a framed signed shirt on your study wall with the words
''Immortalis ludio ludius es idoneus of eximius res , letalis ludio ludius es idoneus of valde res''
Probably typoed that but that's inscribed on a little metal plate on the front of the shirt cabinet.
If I have a fetish for anything its putting football shirts in frames/cases... oO)

I don't know if that cool or weird... The fact you just love Italian footballers, not the fact you framed football shirt, that awesome

He's Brazilian but never been capped so he's an adopted Italian, him and Nilmar at Villareal are one of those combinations that actually makes me salivate thinking about it. The perfect club/partner for him especially with Rossi feeding the two of them from CF.
Breaking up Villarreal's fluid 4-4-2 system that has brought them so much success in order to fit in a sub-par target man and a formation that forces them to carry three lazy strikers ftw.
Also Bent > Amauri.

Villareal will probably play a diamond next year either way under Garrido, either Valero CAM or Rossi CF with 2 widemen and Bruno holding the midfield.
Nilmar/Rossi/Amauri aren't that lazy, Amauri will work hard when his team have possession he can get very physical...
Amauri>>>>>>>>>>>>Bent.
You know that was never going to lie, Di Natale>>>>>>>>>>>Bent, Matri>>>>>>>>>Bent.
Don't get me wrong, I do like Bent.

*snaps with fingers* Oh no you didn't. Looking forward to Jamies response
He wasn't capped cuz Juve wouldn't let him to play friendly me thinks....
Hum. They sort of play a 4-2-2-2 (one of my favourite formations, incidentally) with interiores, and Valero quite deep and Rossi and Nilmar pulling wide.
Mostly true.
Oh you funny. Amauri has only got into double figures in a season three times in his career, in other words HALF the amount of Heskey!
Di Natale >> Bent >>> Matri >>>>>>>>> Heskey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stephen Hawking >>>>> Amauri
Or because he is statistically worse than Heskey.

He got called up to a squad at Palermo but Zamparini refused to let him go and again got called up by Dunga but Juve wouldn't let him go. Eventually he got Italian citizenship anyway and had his first cap last year, thank god he didn't get in the Brazil squad because Italy would be robbed of such a great striker!
I remember when asked about playing with Balotelli he compared him to a new Ferrari who wanted to 'do everything, drive everywhere and be better than any other car'...'But the mechanic who put him together forgot to test drive it so every now and then it breaks down or sputters out oil.'
Brilliant.

Meh, statistics statistics statistics.
An immortal player is capable of extraordinary things whereas a mortal player is capable of great things.
Moral of that line is basically I enjoy people like Amauri/Diego/Ibra rather than 'great' players statistically like Bent.
Indescribable, just personal preference.
I would argue Luca Toni>Bent.
No logical reasoning, Toni hasn't been himself for 3 years but once I attach to a players career I never forget the moments of excellence they produce. World Cup winners in 06 I'm the same, if someone tried to tell me Grosso was useless I would agree but I would still have picked him last season over Armand Traore.
The great striker they capped once and never since!
You're silly. I like this.
Moreover, you should talk to Joss about Serie A, it'd be a hilarious conversation.
"SERIE A IS ****"
"But it has Amauri and Totti!"
"BWARRRGH DEFENSIVE FORMATIONS"
"But, but... Ibrahimovic!"
"GRAARRGGGH"

Sorry, even though I like to argue, I pick a fight when I'm right ( wow a rhyme ). So, I'll pass on this one cuz I can't win it. How can you choose between Heskey and Amauri ( sorry Jamie, I know, stupid joke
)Oh that last part XD Pure magic GC.
This part, ****, I'm really tiered...

Serie A is in a slump but it will be up there again one day, statistics aren't that big of a catalyst for my own judgement on players. Cassano's statistics goal scoring wise are appaulling yet he is one of Europe's best CFs. You can't judge Amauri by checking up his wikipedia page or reading his stats, players are much more than numbers on a web page.
Just my opinion as I always say.
If I was building a football team I would take Amauri over Bent and I would take Ibrahimovic over Van Persie, just my views nothing radical or me saying that the Serie A is the greatest league in the world because we all know that's Ligue 1.
Statistics don't tell the tale, Puskas has the greatest ratio of games to goals in world football ever yet people never mention him alongside Maradonna/Pele do they?
Beckham's stats in the MLS have been poor but no one will remember him for his displays vs Colorado Rapids will they?
They remember MOMENTS not statistics, that is what makes a player a legend not numbers on his wikipedia page.

Cassano's hardly a clinical striker though, he's a creator rather than a finisher (and a fatso to boot, but hey). I do like Cassano, carved out his own interestingly unique left-sided semi-striker-semi-midfielder role at Sampdoria.
I wouldn't take Amauri over Bent, but seeing as having Ibrahimovic basically guarantees you a league title (or at least has for the last five or so years) I'd take him over RvP as well. Still, there's another thing that would make a conversation between you and Joss extra interesting.
This is how bills get paid in Italy, none of this 'image rights' nonsense. Players have to earn their pay through hard work...And Ice Cream adverts.
You genuinely wouldn't believe it but whatever money Cavani made De Laurentiis made sure he took 30 percent off him but 'what for?' you ask...
His words: ''Aurelio tax.''
And this God Cubed is why the Serie A is the greatest league in the world...For off the field entertainment.
I rest my case, Serie A/Amauri/Italian players all 'own' and Bent and Heskey can jump off a cliff and take their statistics with them.
Notice how I never said Amauri>Anyone amazingly good, my delusion of Amauri grandeur only stretches so far...I would never say Amauri was better than anyone I consider him (personal opinion) better than.
Case rested, we have found out I like old Italian players and apparently 'lazy' players although that's debatable since Amauri is in alot better physical shape than alot of players... (Antonio.)
