If we're going 4-4-2 next year someone like Downing makes sense. We're desperate for someone who can cross the damn ball.

Reckon it'll be 4-4-2. Two of Cisse, Gomis, Gouffran and hopefully Remy up top. Ben Arfa left, Sissoko right, Cabaye and Tiote central.

Saw the thread title update, came in here feeling good. Read the last two pages, remember our rubbish manager, no longer excited. Ah well, good signing if it comes off. Someone we can launch it at.

Shit.

Absolutely STUNNED.

Signing Remy would be the last straw? After some of the absolute shit we've dealt with the last few years?

Well, this is a cheery thread to arrive home to.

Our DOF out roaming the streets asking people for advice.

55 million? Seems steep, unless we're paying in pesos.

Great stuff this. Kinnear and Harford FFS. Like some sort of awful 80's bad guy tag team in the WWF.

Can't believe we're launching long balls at Gouffran. Well, I can. Obviously. But you know what I mean.

Aye, great post but absolutely depressing too.

We're going for it on 4th down.

Boy, this is escalating quickly.

Nacional won the Colombian championship on Wednesday night. There was a decent party like.

Watching the Colombian championship final, literally every 20 seconds there's a commercial. This is in-play advertising like, some images come up on screen and the sound of the stadium and commentators is muted and you have some cunt yelling at you about a sale in the Colombiam equivalent of Tesco. Fucking unwatchable. Any fears this will happen on TV in Britain in the coming years?

There was a delay, no? Was half watching in the bowling alley, class finish. Some shocking penalties though.

Don't think it'd be terrible, but I'd rather someone more versatile if possible. He and Cisse as a pairing would be woeful, and either of them playing wide in a front three would be a waste of a shirt. IMO our primary target should be someone who will start on the left of a front three. Then after that try to get a squad player who can play either centrally or out wide. But I'll not be upset with Bent, provided he's not our only addition of course.

What. The fuck? Fucking insane.

They're paying us a fee? Been a complete waste of wages, literally can't remember the lad doing anything in a game for us, ever. Missed a one on one against the Mackems the day Taylor went over the wall, actually, but aside from that I'm struggling to remember any involvement... think I'd actually struggle to pick the guy out in a lineup with four similarish looking fellas.

Bimpy. Poor lass like, seriously hope she's actually a stunner... or blind/illiterate if not.

So Arouna Kone is beyond our reach as a club? Feels good man.

Would be a solid signing. Can back up/compete with Cisse for the central striker role while also being an option out wide. As has been said though, we'd need one more to be set at the top end of the field. Any 3 of Cisse, HBA, Gouffran, Kone and AN Other up top in the 4-3-3. Could throw Obertan on if we're desperate, with Campbell hopefully making a push for some appearances next year too.

Was there some sort of issue between Rooney and Moyes when they were together at Everton, or have I imagined that?
