Mad that but then anyone else decent fucked off after a couple of years. Wilson can’t be far off?

 

The player with the most goals in the squad at the minute is Matt Ritchie.

This was before this season so Wilson has 3 more. Miggy now level with Hatem.

Arcade Fire mentioned on a podcast (Smartless, I believe) that Spotify only care about Drake being (He being their meal ticket and one of a few artists that makes millions from the platform) promoted from the music side. This absolutely confirms that. 
 

Props to him, how many logos have been on the Barca kit? Can’t be that many.

Looking down that list. Owen when he did actually play, up to the second half of the relegation season was prolific. Just looked up on Soccerbase and when he scored his last goal v West Ham it took him to 26 goals in 50 starts and 10 sub apps. Nothing in the last 11 games. Prick.

Perez went on a few decent scoring streaks. Worked hard, but a very limited footballer.

 

We robbed Leicester blind.

 

I think that's really harsh. We definitely cashed in during a rich period of form and one of his peaks with us and got a great fee, but I wouldn't describe him is limited. His lob away at Leicester, that amazing backheel flick away at WBA in the blue and green kit, one with the outside of his boot at a mad angle at Vicarage Road, the great goal away at Blackburn in the cup to clinch it. Many many other crisp and accurate finishes. His key strength was his pressing and positioning and ability to win the ball high but he was technically very decent, "limited" not by any stretch.

He drove me absolutely crazy and he wasn't so much prolific as he was streaky. I appreciated the need for him to be in the team though, even though I'd question it every time he needlessly lost possession in matches where we regularly had limited possession.

Aye, I was surprised. Liked him from the get go. Looked like he had a touch on him. 

Should've gone to Arsenal, their kind of player all day. 

He was never good enough for Arsenal

Perez is one of those players that gets judged more harshly on his end-product because he’s thought of as a striker, despite typically not playing there. He was an attacking mid/winger that scored 12 in a Rafa team that finished 13th and people thought was terrible. 
 

He was frustrating mind, due to to the sheer disparity between how he started and ended the seasons.

I thought he was really poor. He had a run of goals through being the only outlet we had when we were terrible, but technically he was extremely limited and his attitude stank. Cupping your ears to your own fans? Exceptionally poorly judged.

 

Absolutely no surprise that he's been awful at Leicester. We robbed them blind.

 

Another striker who seems to be overinflated by the media right now is Toney. Am I the only one who thinks he's a less injury prone, but much less capable Carroll, who loves knocking in pens? Don't get it TBH.

He didn't cup them to be fair, it was fingers in ears to shut out the noise from the weapons that were constantly on his back. Worked an absolute treat. 

 

For such a "technically limited" footballer he scored some technically impressive goals. He'd be a real asset in a Howe squad, I've no doubt.

Fair point about the fingers in ears. Still disagree about him being an asset. A cursory look at Leicester forums show that they are clamouring to get him off their wage bill, with only a year left on his contract.
