ReplyDeleteHe Is a great addition to the squad and we must do all we can to get him permanently. We also need a striker in the shape of Sergio Aguero or Karem Benzema.Another addition I think should be a Centre back to partner Luiz David and a right back in the shape of Daniel Alves .Aaron Ramsey should also be part of the team in January and I think we will have a complete squad to conquer Europe
