Lots of back patting going on in that article. The most blatant club driven peice of propoganda that I have ever seen.

Wasn't that some absolutely crappy article about us not fearing losing players to everton, let alone our manager. Shows how up ourselves we acted/act to be honest. Always think we're a step above everyone else and stick to our guns.

Great share Norm - cheers.

Camara for me. But also when we came from behind to be Liverpool 3-2 was pretty epic with a late Mane goal late on. I remember the ground shaking in the kingsland.

Not that it helped them at all.

West Ham are the graveyard for good strikers.

It was a genuine complaint last year that we couldn't put chances away in some games, but this year we don't even look like we know how to attack.

He's in the latest photos, along with Cedric.

Pretty much. The Suarez incident is the first thing that sticks in my head, all their players with Suarez support t-shirts on. They've wound me up ever since then to be honest.

That City makes me sick, never stop whining. woe be them.

Don't really see him as an out and out striker to be honest, never really have done. More of a support player. If played right around the correct setup, he'd get goals. Let's not get started on that one though...

Yeah, probably. I think we were trying though, lots of links to Vietto. (although not sure he is the out and out striker we needed). Club showed too much faith in Austin and Long, if Austin wasn't so in and out of the team we'd probably be ok.

Why was our summer transfer window a car crash out of interest? Thought we came out of it stronger as a squad, so not sure how it can be seen as a car crash. Unless you're swinging the VVD thing back at the club and now blaming them for not cashing in then?

Did you see his hat-trick goal? Insane. Think Long vs Villa, but better.

Thank **** for that.

Ah the victims strike again.

Carrillo, surely?

Bear in mind I believe Sturridge is injured at the moment (well, he was at the end of Dec. according to Klopp). He'd be a risk signing anyway, but signing him when he currently has an injury is just a tad insane. Hence why he's not moved so far I think.

I think Sessengon will become a winger anyway, don't see him as a full back as he progresses. Reminds me a bit of Bale in the sense that he started out as a full back, but he has all the qualities to be an attacking left sided winger to be honest.

Staged payments is how it works. We weren't going to get a cheque for £70m on our doorstep. Anyone who thought that is a little bit dim. I always take the 'up front sum' to mean guaranteed fee, so it's guaranteed we will receive £70m for example. It's not dependent on appearances or international honours etc. As a buying club we would also not buy a player outright, I don't know who does in world football. Even Coutinho's transfer will be staged - possibly over the duration of his contract - in order to balance the large fee over a longer period of time. Even in the 'glory days' of Cortese, the signings of Osvaldo and Gaston for e.g were staged over a period of years, hence why we still had outstanding owing to Roma even once he had left on loan for the 10510th time. Cortese is talked up here as a god and that it was all good when he was here, but he cost us a fortune. The Dani Osvaldo mess cost this club millions, we're not just talking the transfer fee, we're talking wages, contract cancellations, agent fees with all his loans etc. So as much as Cortese has been lauded up, he left us with an absolute mess to sort out right there. Anyway, going off tangent a bit. Basically no football club receives a full transfer fee and neither do they spend the full transfer fee straight up.

There was a link in an article from a week or so back, 'confirming' our interest in Sessengon and it mentioned that Fulham have an interest in Targett and he would be used in any deal. Still not sure we'll see Sessengon here to be honest. He'd cost too much money and he's probably holding out for Spurs, which is nailed on in the summer once they sell Rose.

He was trying to be clever, but failed. Sessengon is a left full back etc.

There's more chance of me manging this team than there is Nabil Fekir lining up for us.

Yeah, there were unfortunatley a lot of jeers directed directly towards him whenever he touched the ball - where i was in the kingsland anyway.

Yeah his first goal was against Millwall, he did everything in the game bar score until the final 10 mins. Then he went on and got another at WHU and that was that.
