  1. A 21yr with a lot of heart but no pace will struggle with such weight on his shoulders, especially in a side such as ours. I'd imagine even under ideal circumstances it would have taken him a season to learn what is going on in this league. He's on a hiding to nothing and once he missed a few his confidence is gone. The club absolutely refuses to pay the money needed for a top striker with pace and instinct cause they don't come cheap.
  2. We sit deeper away just out of fear and that leaves him with fewer options when he gets the ball.
  3. Our tempo is noticeably slower in away games. Probably instructions from island head.
  4. If you're not playing a recognized striker play a 433. Even Ibra would struggle the way we play the 4231...Only ever 2/3 players available in the final attacking phase.

    I can't imagine they'd gamble the PL survival of the club on some old crock from the Ruski league who doesn't like training.

    Looks in his mid to late 30's...But for African footballers that's nothing. He'll score 10 or more goals no worries.
  7. KK would have been on the blower to him about 17 times by now.
  8. Is it right that we only sent one e mail and no phone or face to face talks?
  9. Might be trickier than it seems at the moment. The balance of power has shifted slightly and the mid-table sides are fully capable now of beating a top 4 side. Much more than a decade ago. I do agree with your general point tho. A real test would have been a 10yr project outside a top 4 club.
  10. Welcome to the pressure cooker of the PL.
  11. My feeling when I lived there was that football wasn't as much life and death as it is in Eng/Holland/Spain etc...Generally found the French quite effeminate.
  12. It looks like we're having a proper go at this.
  13. Silly for them to turn down that kind of money.
  14. He's ideal for the PL. Strong, brave with a bit of determination. He'll fight you for your lunch.
  15. Never seen him play but I imagine he's 5 times the player Dummet is cause he isn't Dummet.
  16. It's gonna be someone like Gayle I can feel it.

    12m is actually peanuts for a player with Eng ambitions.

    Gomis never seems fit to me. Lumbering and methodical. Has a few goals in him mind. And the eyes of a serial killer.

    Sissoko is going in the summer, I think we all know that. He's done his bit in the shop window and will be looking to move up. He's not really that good.

    Andros Townsend

    He scares teams and keeps the back four honest. He'll get 4/5 assists and a couple of goals and his price will remain solid.

    You scamps. He's a good little player who will get better.
  22. Excellent Doctor! Once the super ego cuts loose there's no holdin the little devil.

    I got Sunderland, Villa and Norwich down (Norwich bottom). Did it twice. Arsenal win the league with Man C runners up. Leicester and Spurs in CL.
