I like him, although Ryan ridiculed me for it.
Arsenal should go for him.

He's OK, but I'm not convinced he's absolute top quality, whereas I reckon Cahill is.
Cahill for 14-15 million would be a nice start to the summer rebuilding!

No... too fragile for a big man.

he has played 30+ premier league games every season since the 2007/08.
I like him because he is dominant in the air and a tireless worker. But I am not sure he would fit into our playing style. Nor do I think he is that adept at reading the play which is more important for a team that holds possession as opposed to Rovers who are usually under pressure for most of the game. He has been used as a rather successful back up striker for Rovers too. I wanted him last summer because he would have represented great value for money and would have been the commanding CB we need, but I don't think it would be the right move now. We should either go for proven quality and be willing to pay the premium to get it, or go for an up and coming star that might need to develop a little to become the commanding CB we need; Sakho?

How's Shawcross done this season?
12 months ago, Cahill and Shawcross were very much being talked about as players of a similar level. Cahill has since become flavour of the month despite some recent below-par performances, whilst Stoke's recent run of good form has not raised Shawcross' profile in the media.
