Mr X

sums him up does the hard work then a casual sloppy pass

anyone else noticed the pressing midfield tactic doesn't work against west brom they have us sussed

awful cross from rameriz put us back under pressure

time for ramirez to show he can make a difference

omg glad lovren had to make that tackle and not hoiveld

a less well known export

Says spurs and Fulham after him as well

Like that player osvaldo clearly doesn't want to come here so I would prefer someone that wants to play for us even if they aren't such a big name

exactly

Osvaldo fell out with his manager because he slagged him off on twitter, sounds right up cortese's street

guly ahead of puncheon and puncheon not even on the bench?

22 pages in time to close now!

easier to jump ships lots of appealing London footie clubs

true how old is shrek these days?

18 million for a 27 year old seems a lot of money! But maybe that's the going rate now?

we don't want another player coming here for the money only and then not being arsed to put the required effort in. Ramirez was a big mistake till he proves me wrong

We are not a big enough club for this kind of player unfortunately , that said a player will go anywhere if the money's right as most said Ramirez wouldn't come. More money doesn't always equal a better player may be better of looking at cheaper alternatives

Agreed personally I would cut our losses and accept any offer of 10 million (although finding somone to pay that would be difficult) and buy either another defender at lovrens level or a striker as like others have said looks disinterested and has done for some time his heart is back home

no mention of Ramirez's contribution?

At least on a level par with a centre-back we didn't really need any more midfielders and if our defence was that shocking 14th would have been beyond us

A striker was priority as there is no backup for lambert as in a natural replacement I don't see j rod as a like for like replacement different kind of player

Yes as our game is totally based around a high pressing midfield domination

True, will seventeen days be enough though? Seems we were totally focused on midfielders when it was clear we needed a striker as priority. Lambert as good as he is will get burnt out and wont make ninety every game and J rod is a different kind of player

its the lack of a quality striker to back up Lambert that worries me think we are ok in other areas

Loving the prediction from Joel Northam that says we will finish forth top ten would be fantastic
