Hi Will,

Here is the second part of my season review for La Liga. Top 10 U-21 players:

Thanks!

I'd be all for signing Baines—I'm a big fan of his, and always come away impressed from his composed performances at left-back for Everton. He gets forward at opportune moments, and rarely finds himself out of position on the left; something that would be a vital improvement for Arsenal at the position.

Not too familiar with Jantschke, but I do agree that another right-back should be brought in. Two leg breaks in a year is no good news, and while I love Sagna, I'd like to have another option than Jenkinson at the moment, who's far too green for me.

I watched Kallstrom extensively during the '09-10 season for Lyon, and I do know he's looking to leave this summer. I thought he might be headed for riches in Russia, but not sure what his most recent development is. My biggest worry with him is that, while a proven performer on the international stage with Sweden, I don't know if he can keep up with the pace of the EPL.

My opinion is based off Lyon's two-leg tie against Real Madrid in last season's Champions League, when Kallstrom looked completely off the pace against the speed and power of the Galacticos. He's got a wondrous left boot, but I don't see where he fits in with Arsenal at the moment.

Great calls on Baines, though, and I must say I'm intrigued by Jantscke.

Thanks for the message of my bulletin board. Having read the statement again, I can see you're right. But I didn't mean to condescend. What I meant really was that it's what we all call depth, not the sense in which the statement came across.

I always enjoy your comments as they're always thoughtful.

On a left-back. I thinks we may need one. You recall that I mentioned this in a recent article. I'm not as worry as you are about Santos, but even then, it'd be best to have a solid option there.

I have been rather impressed by Taiwo in his appearances for QPR. That could be an option, if he can come cheap. The trick is not to buy another Squillaci.

Hey Will,

La Liga weekly review:

thanks for the comments on my Benoit article. very well-said!

On your recent question. I must say I hold a similar sentiment to yours, which is why I won't complain much if Arsenal decide to cash in on RvP.

Hi Will,

Here are some lessons from La Liga this week:

I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment.

Thanks for the kind words Matthew, much appreciated. Ad for Kidd and Baretta, they could be a good team if WWE pushed them properly and not as jobbers like Reks and Hawkins, but with how the tag team division gets treated I doubt they would have a chance to really see a push from it.
