Either wing. Pretty two footed. We wont pay what they want though.

Viana would look head and shoulders above the rest of our current crop. He'd probably do alright now number 10 is always used.

I don't wish ill. I just wish he had a financial crisis that meant he had to sell us for whatever he could get.

He now owns 25% of GAME, apparently.

Aarons over Atsu

Potentially De Jong if he'd stay fit. I'd not take Aarons as a starter though. He's a bit too much pre season specialist right now.

In a serious answer, no matter when Rafa leaves and for what reason, if he's still out of a job its going to be Pardew.

What's the point in doing a facebook thing. Just a load of angry swearing comments in bad english about signings. I'd hate to work for our Media team like.

No one wants any players we'd be willing to sell for good reason.

If he does leave, it wont get hostile. Everyone will stop caring and Ashley will get the husk thats left to play with as he's always wanted. He wins, we lose.

a grand total of 0 strikers

There's always an excuse for when Rafa is directly positive himself, and some newspaper is trying to say he's fed up and leaving. Last time it was the club were making his quotes up, now its because kids were there. Can't we just take what the man himself says?

If Abraham was his first choice I'm concerned. Not on Gayle's level.

Pondering to consider launching a resignation letter.

He gone yet then?

17th every year will always be the target.

Why's Rafa still here then?

On the subject of Wingers swapping sides, I actually think Ritchie does it better than anyone else we have right now. Mostly since his game is based on off the ball movement alot

Yes please to Montero.

This rate we'll have "Rafa's going to quit" rumours every other week.

Is it hell. Perch was better for us. Anita's football was prettier but it wasn't effective.

I liked that time he started in midfield and Perch at right back at Everton away, and he was so ineffective they had to swap round. And that's the reality. Perch wasn't as "technical", but he was a better player. as was Guthrie before him.

12 in 21 when they called him back last year. But Ritchie's the last player we need to improve, and Atsu's his backup. Need one for the other flank.

Quite often had shocking first touch and general control in possession for a technical player. All sideways and backwards, boring to watch, ineffective midfielder. Okay fullback, but his legs look to be going a bit and he gets caught out against pace.

I'd assumed the two "Close" was just the youngsters.
