Yup, that's why I mentioned him. Looks like we used him all wrong. Been banging in the goals for Sunderland u18.

Tioté to Chelsea would hurt less than most other clubs tbh. But please stay away, thx!

He better not turn in to quality...

$Abramovich$ <-> Ashley.

Quite happy tbh.

He had a goal mistakenly disallowed.

You are aware that over the past 14 seasons we have spent fortunes on wages and transfers to acheive just 4(good chance of 5 this season) top half Premier League finishes? Aside from a 3 season spell we have pretty much been midtable crap consistently in that time flirting with and succombing to relegation and financial meltdown. But yeah at least your point about Ashley not spending a penny of his own cash is spot on.............. Well yeah. Most of that money being spent on old/uncertain players. While now it's about proven young players - the future of the club.

What's your valuation of the players? I'd say that looks very costly.

Excellent post, highlights the folly of this idea we could and should just turn over players and expect to keep finding new ones who'll play just as well as the previous squads. When you pursue a development strategy with a club like ours, you find a good player and you hold on for grim death. Players like Enrique are players you do break any supposed wage cap for because they're absolutely blue chip - players you know will earn their wages and help make sure others will earn theirs, too. They have experience which is literally unobtainable elsewhere because they earned it here. It's one thing to limit offers made to new signings - they're unproven and could end up like Smith, so you want to limit the potential damage, but when they've proven themselves to be special, you make the necessary accommodations and harness the momentum instead of squandering it. Two posts I'm 100 % behind.

Isn't he more of an attacking midfielder? Very much so. Not good enough either. Couple of good goals - let's not be blinded. He is a bench player for WBA. A bit like Tiote at Twente. Let's compare every bench player with Tioté, aye? The goals don't fit either.

It's ok now.

Perotti - yes Odemwingie, Cole, Cissé - no

Shit pictures.

I'll just see pass this and pretend everything is perfectly alright.

Man Utd with around 35 shots, and around 20 of those on goal. Disappointing that we had so little to offer. Only one I quite liked the look of was Streete (bar the one situation where he got dummied).

that won't happen So you reckon we'll go the whole summer without buying a striker?

s*** player, gets a goal now and then. Can't ask for much more. Will need to be replaced in the summer anyway.
