Saint Charlie

He will.

Eriksen will score again before the end of the 90. Surely.

No others sources have mentioned this. Its pretty low on the reliability scale.

LOL at one guy on Twitter asking Alex Crook if there is any truth in this. Expect a story in the Mirror/Star tomorrow.

Another try before you buy scenario too which makes sense. Possible in the summer that we will mostly sign players who have already been with us on loan.

LOL. No he isn't. But he reports it as a done deal so obviously its come from elsewhere as this guy is one of those that retypes other peoples news day in, day out. Must be thrilling.

Any source other than the DM article? That Journo is a "copy and paste from other sources" Merchant so it wouldn't have come from him. Sounds like another Elia type where he was class in the Dutch league and very hyped up then hasn't settled since. Would be good to get another forward player in.

Plus he was easily their most threatening player last night. Will be a massive boost to have him back.

Gallagher isn't fit and hasn't played all season so he won't be up to speed in the time we need.

Pelle was vital to the attack during the Newcastle game and setup the first goal. Mane and Elia are not central strikers. Long is injured, Jay Rod is injured and Seager totally unproven. Look, if we don't get a striker, nothing disasterous will happen, we aren't going to get relegated and it will still be a great season. However, we will never have a better chance than this to do something really special in the league and without question we are short in the central striker role. Sure even NickG can't disagree with any of that?

The question of who is for the club not the fans. The key point is we need a striker which if the "whole f**king world can see" then I'm not sure what your problem is? Ive said we need a striker, sorry I haven't suggested any. There is little point because I don't know who Koeman knows and who we have scouted. Nobody on here mentioned Elia before the press linked him. In anycase it looks like we are going with what we have so maybe no no9 type strikers are available anywhere in the world. Fair enough. And no need for all the "c**t" stuff, its just debating football.

Careful, you will get called a "clueless c**t" by an internet warrior in a minute.

Pretty sure he would be on the bench. Great option.

Ghana win. Senegal out and Mane back to Saints.

Would it be a suprise if Toure and Bony are crap, Ivory Coast lose, then they play for City against Chelsea at the weekend?

Is head to head valued over GD in this tournament or did the commentators just not know the correct standings? When Algeria went 2-0 and Ghana was 1-1 Ghana were ahead on GD but not going through?

Get in!! Hold on Ghana and Mane could play versus Swansea.

Bentaleb for Algeria. Think that means Senegal currently 3rd on GD? Great strike, he is a really good player. Edit: Apparently needs another Ghana goal for some reason.

Any goals in the last 10mins or so could have a massive impact.

Mane subbed off....very suprising, easily been their most dangerous player.

Hard not to see Senegal scoring to be fair, but Algeria will try to do them on the break.

Taider booked for Algeria.

SA winning

They have enough good youth players of their own. The likes of Seager, McQueen, Gape etc are no more likely to start for Feyenoord than Saints.

"Proper" as in a no9 type. Im sure someone somewhere in the world has a striker they don't need, or who needs a change of scene. Afterall, someone loaned us a decent winger they didn't need. Of course the better team you are the harder it is to find players good enough to make an impact but its not impossible, surely?
