didn't they use us to get United to show their hand?

I just read smalls previous posts...inspirational poster

Will Hughes?

Only Jon Obi Mikel plays more square passes than Morgan and because Louis van Gaal was getting slaughtered for United's boring style of play, he dropped him, despite them tending to win more with him than without him. Carrick, someone that never plays a square pass, came in, had a decent game and it was bench time for Morgan thereafter. Even with the new TV money I doubt we could afford to take on his wages, so cant see him coming back even if wanted to get away, which I doubt he does.

has a diamond formation worked for anyone, ever?

the one issue with `fox in the box' type strikers is that you need to get the ball in the box for them to be of any use and to do that you tend to need strikers that are good outside of the box...

What do you think of it so far?

him going would be no stranger than him coming, but maybe its just his agent trying to squeeze a new deal from Saints. Good luck with that one...

I suspect there are quite a few skates on here pretending to be saints fans who post the odd normal post so they don't stand out as obvious skates, don't post a great deal, but are at the front of the queue when there is a chance of a wind up.

Isnt Charlie Austin one of those?

I mentioned him last season, but having watched the game last night it reminded me of what a prospect Oliver Burke looks. Pace to burn and now he's filled out a little he is now even more of a threat. Perhaps not ready for the prem yet, but maybe a loan back deal would work here.

He is highly rated and worth a look ourselves. One decent season in the prem and he will be worth a damn sight more than that.

Nice. Always exciting when it comes to strikers. Wonder what type of player we are looking at, small and pacey, a fast dribbler, a big man like Pelle or something else... That's the beauty of the closed season, you get to dream about making a couple of top notch under the radar signings that become the next Henry or Mane, whilst wondering if you can replicate the form from last year having lost a couple. No point in sweating over it. Enjoy the ride...

their fitness worries me too, but there is that Shane Long fella too s'pose.

so, in simplistic terms, a big static striker who scored 20 goals having replaced another big static striker who scores 10 wouldn't aid progress?

One of the most boring tours ever, not helped by Neds commentary which I find annoying. Just shut up for two ****ing seconds every now and then you **** Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

442 writer describes the white panel as a brassiere...embarrassing.

as good as a new signing that. I thought Liverpool would come knocking again. If anyone does now it will cost them.

now that is what I call a signing. Fantastic move by the club. No doubt these new contracts are costing us a fortune, but the extra TV money is there and it always was going to go straight to players.

Likewise. Very simple but classic design. Have to say though that there is absolutely no consistency between the designs for the three Spurs shirts. It looks almost as though they are being used to advertise the different options available to Sunday league teams...now there's an idea.

he's the ideal plan b/alternative attacking option. Big man, decent touch and can finish (when the sun shines). Take him and Wanyama out of the side and we lose don't half lose some height defensively at set pieces. Just a couple of reasons why we should be looking to keep him.

Whether you like a shirt or not tends to be subjective, but IMO the home shirt is a truly dreadful piece of design. Is the white section trying to emulate the UA logo in some way? I know it doesn't, but that is the only possible reason I could think of for its inclusion. The neck/collar design doesn't make any sense and nor does the way the stripes reappear on the shoulders. There is no balance, no solid idea behind the design and the result is a compete and utter mess.

Looks terrible. Over fussy. Dreadful. Worse than the terrible green monstrosity even. I'm amazed considering their importance to sportsclothing firms how poorly designed football shirts are. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
