thats fair enough. common sense does of course suggest that, personally i'll believe we've got the money for a quality striker when we pay for one.

we really, really need someone who can put it in the net though. yes Ba looks good but he could easily go the other way or even worse get a bad injury, i'm simply not convinced that Ben Arfa is going to be the goal scorer we need (if he even gets on the pitch) and the rest speak for themselves Which is why I said we need another striker. in know mate, just pitching in as we near the start and it looks like we're almost getting things into place (with the LB situation as well it seems) it's bothering me more though, we're so close to having a promising looking squad, just need the most important bit!

whether its because he cant or wont he is definitely, definitely less mobile

Both Routledge & Obertan are over 21 so would need to be registered in the 25 man squad for the forthcoming season. We have 23 players on the books at the moment who would be included in the squad, 24 if you reserve a space for a striker, so we need to sell players before we can buy, unless we're going to exclude some older players from the squad (like Smith). smith should be taken out and shot

nothing wrong with that at all, 5 year deals are 3 years deals nowadays anyway. happy about this, a promising player who's definitely moved for the football, cant complain. it does seem odd though how over-stocked we are in midfield compared to everywhere else, can see barton leaving.

this. he's the only nufc player who's had me close to tears on numerous occasions, i just cant watch him anymore man I don't understand the Shola love. Had enough of the lazy fucker. the kevin nolan argument applies doubly here. nolan got goals but imo kept things ticking over amply while not being overly mobile. shola is less mobile, gets less goals while playing up front and regularly breaks down our possession due to being shit.

Mine arrived las friday. My membership card hasn't arrive yet, though. Not sure that we get membership cards as well as ST's. Should get a membership pack but not another card. Could be wrong though. incidentally i just lucked my way into using a mates ST, i cant afford one this season

Remind me how many of those we bought? Hopefully we'll bid for Messi soon, we might win the league. Nut, while i sympathise with your view, the bare fact is that we haven't actually brought a striker in yet (not Ba), therefore that line is simply more believable, imo

pleased with this, although it'll be pretty sobering to see enrique dominate him twice this season

this. he's the only nufc player who's had me close to tears on numerous occasions, i just cant watch him anymore man would be funny if it wasnt true, he's just so shit

got a ticket for this one now, absolutely delighted

lets!

shola :facepalm:

man u season ticket holder reckons he needs a run of games, is lightning quick and will beat people but frustrating lack of end product 'a lot like jonas' fwiw

we thought he might stay, then it was too late to get anyone else in

strongest part of our team though?

Tiote and Enrique (if they're here!)

that team doesnt worry me at all, with the exception of whoever's on the left against simpson.

Would it help you if i said - "aspire" to replicate arsenal/ajax model? You get the drift - we want to grow through youth/long term grow what? a team?

The club has already said it wants a top ten finish, i think everyone can agree, we'd all be happy with a top ten this year? If so, im not even sure what we are arguing about. Would you be saying the same if Tchoyi had headed his final chance over the bar? Very convenient result for the club that was. Regardless of what happened last season, a top ten finish would represent progress. Again, I think we'd all take that. It wouldn't have if we'd beaten West Brom. But we didnt? As I say, very convenient. I think if we don't finish in the top seven, then we've failed. :lol: # What?? Didnt you say we are going down if we dont sign a striker. So relegated if we dont sign a striker, top 7 of we do fkn hell. What are you on about? I never said I thought we'll finish 7th with a striker. Where we are in the league, the money at our disposal, anything less than 7th is failure imo. Jesus, its nee wonder people call us deluded. Anything less than 7th is failure. f*** me. A £35million windfall if invested properly could have us challenging for a top 6 place. Why is there such satisfaction with mediocrity on here? It's either that or it's simply the wanton need to look clever on the internet. bingo

Just checked, we've finished in the top ten twice in 9 years. Pardew says 'lets not think of Europe' and people say we are going backwards. People need to get real man. Its pretty obvious that a certain few are just looking to jump on him at every chance. there's a difference between 'getting real' and the constant lowering of expectations that we've seen under these lot. he doesnt need to come out in the week before the season starts and tell us european football is getting further and further away, it's a ready made excuse for the players for a start, and that's only scratching the surface of why it's such a bad idea. if he wasnt just a mouthpiece for the board that picks the team, he'd be trying to inspire a bit of confidence in the team and the fans, rather than moving onto the 15th excuse why we haven't invested this summer. and citing the carroll sale for a reason we cant compete with the big clubs ffs, dont sell him, simple as that. they didnt come along and steal him from us with their big club loot sack.
