I think Gouffran's a good option in that he can play 2 ways: He can play on the shoulder when we need to take risks or he can be more restrained and protect the full-back behind him with his high work rate.
Unfortunately it would appear he doesn't have a lot of the qualities required to play wide in an attacking sense.
Overstatement IMO. We've been given another chance (which we probably don't deserve in all fairness) to save our bacon. We better fucking take it this time, or the scenes at SJP will be very ugly should we go down after the Arsenal game.
Not if the Liverpool game is owt to go by.
No but it would never happen, wrong side of 30.
I know he's had mentality issues in the past but when you look at our lack of options up top I think he'd be a good squad addition.
Carlton fucking Cole would be a good addition to that lot.
To be fair I see this from Swansea and Stoke all the time. They just tend to be far better than us at getting goals without applying lots of pressure and and then sitting on their lead.
Impatient.
This cunt inherited a team that'd just finished 4th, 3rd and 5th, spend £55m plus on it and was sacked 18 months down the road with us in 16th. Thank Christ for whatever impatience helped get rid of the negligent prick.
We should always target having at least 6 players in the first 11 that have track records of scoring 5+ goals per season.
Being good strikers of the ball like Beren says is only half of what's required. Marveaux and Ben Arfa are two good examples of players who strike the ball brilliantly without having scored more than 30 or so at club level in their entire careers.
