Ronaldo

Could he captain us from the off?

Damn right.

Kay.

phoenix nights Half A Shilling - "Send The Buggers Back"

As in send them back?

Because it didn't work last night?

Vuckic has only started one league game. I think he certainly looks like the type that will get 10 goals a season in time.

Who's only played a handful of games? Ben Arfa's nearly 25.

Stupid thing to say, but no malice in it whatsoever. I don't think people should make too much of a deal of it tbh. Damn right.

Vuckic would appear to be far more of a goal threat.

Once again, he played a full 90 minutes against Blackburn in the league.

Clearly nothing to do with the fact he stuggles to correctly make contact with the ball. I wish we'd stop making elaborate excuses for players who simply aren't very good and don't have the talent to surpass that.

I think he's practically undroppable after that performance. He'll be dropped, though.

Then why did you advocate 4-4-2 with Hatem on the wing? He's a better player with someone up top with him than without, whoever it is. And would you seriously play him as a lone striker given our midfield's (including Hatem) seriously underwhelming goal stats? Thought not. Pipe down.

He has. Against Blackburn I think.

Ah, right. 4th choice behind the players we haven't bought yet. Outstanding.

4th choice behind who?

Demba is boss at the moment so put him upfront on his own. Give me strength.

It wouldn't.

Well, this is the same man who took Ben Arfa off for Shola Ameobi at half time for no apparent reason. When did that happen?

Stick HBA behind him for a sustained period and you wouldn't need players to graft to feed him. We'd have someone with the ability to set him up...like the chances at City & Man Utd, like the goal tonight... We have no goals from the defence and no goals from the midfield, and you want a player with less than 20 league goals in his career partnering Ba? We need a new striker to partner him, it's as simple as that.

Feed off what work? He's not the type of player who should be grafting to bring others into the game, that should be left to someone else.

That's a bit like saying Colo's based his game around hoofs up the pitch. They can't help what they're being told to do.

And when did I say that? We need someone next to him who can score goals and create space.

We need a new striker and we all know it. As for chances, he isn't Ba in that he can't spin straw into gold. The wingers did him (nor Demba) no favours.
