I know Bent's our plan B. What I meant was that we should have gone for a striker similar to Gomis and what we need. 8m should get us a reasonable one, contract dispute/ending or otherwise. You look at the lack of service to Cisse vs Braga and you think how Bent could exacerbate the problem, not solve it.

Shows what hypocrites Sullivan and Gold are. They said they'd never sign him. That was because of his lengthy ban last season.

Tbf 8m is a very good fee and I can't blame our people if this collapses because of Aulas/agents being arses. What I have an issue is for 8m, we should have and already proceeded to a plan B (not Bent) by now. We drag this on and it eventually comes to this late stage in the transfer window that it's all-or-nothing. And we can't get similar for 8m?

I'd be very happy with that as a home kit tbf. Nah, no way. You compromise the stripes, next time they bring it out in SD colours.

So who plays upfront?

Our lack of cutting edge upfront is truly worrying.

Can't believe Ashley missed out on the opportunity to advertise sportsdirect.pt.

Cisse still very much feeding on scraps, that's scary. Hopefully Remy and potentially Gomis will give him much needed service.

Take that, brummie. We can score from corners now too.

Capitano.

Has Anita played any minutes in pre-season yet?

Mrs bimpy will be happy to know that.

Harsh that.

Pardo. Hate that name for some reason.

Diving even in a friendly ffs.

Santon crossing with left foot.

Ref needs a Ben Arfa thunderbastard right into the face.

How is that a foul?

Nice attempt from Cisse.

Scorebox makes it look like we play Brazil. Not far off since they are stocked full of Brazilians I guess.

Colo with a decent attempt.

Yay, they've cleared the sand.

Me too

Can't remember an older outfield player still playing at such a high level in recent times.
