I haven’t played much play station, but I’ve been watching finishers since Jimmy Greaves & Denis Law were around. You don’t need XG, PD or BFG to know who is a good striker, who can finish & who can’t. being a good striker isn’t just as much about getting into positions as it is finishing. A striker who keeps getting into good positions but keeps missing, is a shit striker. It’s not complicated

What a load of old pony.

If you could add 2 former Saints player.....

This team need sorting out, need some leaders. I’d have Jimmy Case & Chris Nichol -
A “bit” of strength?? We need to toughen up. We need someone who will put himself about , a lot of strength is needed , not a bit.

Says the bloke with his picture.

What a load of old pony. Professionally, he’s better off at Villa than the shit storm at our club. Once he couldn’t get a move to a top top club, he had 2 options. Stay at a club in decline or sign for one that clearly have more prospects of success than us. No doubt he or his agent would have discussed their ambitions and their plans for him together with how they see the club moving forward. What’s our pitch to him, “stay and fight relegation”. Anyone who believes it’s only about the money is deluding themselves.
-
Where? Name names, which posters didn’t want him but are now pissed off we’re not getting him.
-
How does playing in Qatar fit in with teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony.
-
The buck stops with Ralph. If he wanted to he could spend some of the Ings money & saved wages on a keeper. If he thinks we can make & mend that’s down to him.
-
What difference does the position we recruit for make. Have we a budget for specific positions or an overall wage budget? If we sign a new keeper, the 2 existing ones get paid, & if we don’t, the 2 existing ones get paid.
-
But wages aren’t packaged as X amount on keepers, X amount on defenders etc. Whether we sign another keeper or not we still have to pay our existing keepers wages. Unless we’re going to sign a top proven striker, I’d get a decent body in nets & spend less/loan to replace Ings. As I said it’s choices, if lurch or McCarthy cost us this season, that’s down to the choices the manager has made.
-
I can’t believe how relaxed people are about our goalkeeper situation. We need someone decent in nets, we’ve clearly got some dough from the Ings deal so not getting someone else in nets is down to Ralph’s priorities. What’s the point in signing a 15 a season goal scorer if lurch & McCarthy are going to chuck 12 in at the other end?
-
I do. I’ve never really criticised the club for selling players who want to leave. 50 years of supporting has made me immune to it.
-
Liverpool sold Coutinho when he was their best player, how did that work out for them?
-
I’d make pointless gestures before getting off to work in and promote Qatar.
-
Course it’s a fucking step up. Not as big a step as people expected but if you think we’re now on a par with Villa you’re deluding yourself.
-
And the way Liverpool players wore tee shirts defending a racist, Villa take the knee next to John Terry and Utd defended a racist tweet from their striker. They’re a bunch of stinking fucking hypercritical twats,that deserve stick. It’s a free country, they’re free to take the knee and people should be free to boo them doing so.
-
It’s obvious isn’t it?
-
You’ve answered your own question
-
Look at the results, look at the leads we chuck away, what more evidence do you need.
-
What I saw was a midfield that were too easy to play through and offered fuck all protection for our back 4.
-
Not so impressive when the lack of midfield bite costs us countless more
-
Nope, not alone.
-
So you just made up that people are moaning about the signing.
