Hard to expect Yorkie to know you're joking Rich, you were basically a cunt to him for two years.

Sounds exactly like the kind of player we should be after, a striker who has the pace and workrate to work the channels and give our midfielders some options. Seems like he has a bit of skill about him too, would be very happy if this comes off.

Hoping it's a pacey type (if we get anyone at all), as without that kind of player we'll be entirely reliant on Ben Arfa for some sort of incision in the final third this season.

New student in class today. Forced the name Sammy upon him as a tribute.

Good news if true.

CM Punk-tastic this. I'm guessing he challenges Colo to a duel for the captains armband, defeats him and then signs for QPR.

He's honestly looked absolutely hopeless the first two games. Fuck all effort, touch of a rapist, little awareness of what's going on around him. Not panicking yet and writing him off after two appearances would be ridiculous, but it's been far from encouraging so far it has to be said.

Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Raylor Obertan Tiote Cabaye Jonas Best Shola That's what I'm expecting, and I wouldn't have many complaints tbh. Marveaux looked knackered by the second half last night, think he'd be best used as an impact sub after an hour rather than starting. Can't start Ba after how rubbish he's been in two games so far.

Starting a new game soon, he's getting bumped to -9 at least.

Should be 'Sammessi Ameobi' tbh.

SAMMY!!

We need him in the middle with Tiote but with Tiote being told to just sit in front of the back four. Let Cabaye go looking for the ball everywhere and give him license to get forward too.

Definitely, and Best is ahead than Shola and Ba at the moment IMO. Aye, Best isn't up to much but at least he causes a few problems and fucking runs the odd time. People can say there's a lack of service, and there is, but it doesn't excuse the striker for offering completely nothing like Ba has for his first two games for us.

I don't care how young they are, Vuckic and Sammy should both be ahead of the likes of Lovenkrands in the pecking order.

Cracking defending Leon!

Take a chance Loven.

"Reliable left foot."

Borderline, think Taylor dived tbh.

Wonderman!!

Good run Colo.

What a save.

Vuckic. Gosling man, make him walk home after that.

Jesus man Gosling, absolute shocker.

We spent too much on Ba.

Need a change like, gone a bit flat after a good period.
