This for me. That midfield is our strongest; we need Guly slinging in the crosses, Lambert bullying their weak defence and Ramirez/Puncheon exploiting the panic.
Have to get at them straight from the off, and show self belief.
TEAR IT!
Based purely on the Wiki page, this guy looks decent (yes....I know).
But 20 years old; 6 foot 4; impressed for Juve; Scandinavian. Could be good.
Happy if we are pillaging Italy. If we can get quality players cheap then why not. As a rule players in Italy are more technically gifted than their English counterparts. Makes sense to me.
Exactly this.
We wouldn't be spending if we could afford it. Cortese is no fool; he may be taking calculated risks, but he is no fool.
Far rather we bought young, expensive players with resale value than old heads without.
Doubt we'd get rid of him, but I do believe he will evolve into our 'off-the-bench plan B' (not the singer!)
Players like Ramirez and this fella clearly benefit from, and reward, more movement in front of them. J-Rod will be that guy.
Yep. Thought that as soon as it was scored. J-Rod does give us that something different, and will grow into a class no. 9 for us in a couple of seasons.
Quite like the line up - stronger than I would have thought.
Please to see Lee involved - hope he gets on. Surprised Mayuka is in there - but not starting.
2-1 Saints.
Possible. But I do get the feeling we now know exactly what/who we want, and will make early generous. 'Its £xxx with a decision in 3 days,or poke it'.
We went early with a generous offer in the summer for j-Rod.
Great entertainment, and can't really complain about a point there.
But......dodgy substitutions when we were a goal and a man up. **** poor ball retention - we're a prem team playing against 10 men FFS! And no leadership on the pitch.
Did play some good stuff at times though.
