All we need upfront is Jay Simpson on loan from Arsenal. He would score 20 - 25 goals in the championship alongside Andy Carroll, who should get around 12 - 15 goals.
I don't think we should sell for £70m either.
Its about status and pride as much as anything. If Ronaldo is worth more than our whole club than what does it say? One player for god sake. That's why Ashley holding out for the 100 is important for the club IMO.
I'll tell you what'll be ironic. We finally find some use for Smith, but his performances will likely prompt a bid from a prem team who will suddenly think he is great again.
Solid start. Was not expecting any points today.
We really do have huge potential to bounce back up if we can just get rid of the outside turmoil and get a manager in.
Shola has been good today I don't care what anyone says. He isn't a good footballer in general, but the least you would ask for is some effort, which he usually doesn't muster, but he has today.
Was about to say.... one of those tackles is going to be way off though. Wouldn't mind seeing him up front at some point.
On the whole I'm quite impressed with the overall effort.
What would be the point of that?
Duff is infinitely worse on the right imo. Completely incapable of any type of delivery with his right foot and so he just twists and turns till he falls over.
