I'm hopeful they'll have finally sussed it out before then. Oh wait, you said days not months.

I would say that the donkey proved himself.

This is the key. But not just to benefit the defense. A dangerous goal-scorer lifts the whole team.

Please don't quote Glasgow. A lot of us have him on ignore to avoid those irritating animated gifs. Ta.

If Welbeck's record was better we wouldn't have a chance of getting him. He's a decent but not world-class striker, the best we could hope for as a well-established international (English to boot). Of course it would be great to unearth another Mane, but the odds are slim on that.

Indeed. A lot of reputations are on the line here.

To answer your question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Welbeck#International_goals I'd be very happy if Saints can get him. We're not going to get Agüero or Kane.

I refuse to make predictions before the window closes.

The third goal in particular. I mean, WTF?

16 goals in 40 England appearances. Good enough for me.

Maybe this was Sparky's cunning plan to get Mr. Gao to loosen the purse strings a bit further.

If we don't bring in a goal-scoring target man it'll be madness. If we don't bring in a goal-scoring target man and sell/loan out Gallagher it'll be stark raving lunacy. Again.

Far be it for me to defend Liverpool, but I think Roma should be unhappy with Roma for the Salah transfer fee. Just like we should be over what we got for Mane.

No, I reckon we're going after that tall Danish CB instead.

I'd be happy. Can't see him coming to a club our size though, or that we'd afford his wages.

If we can bring in a goal-scoring frontman I agree he should do better than the previous two in terms of goals.

It was a clear handball that prevented the ball from going across goal. Also the Croatian first goal came from a free kick from a non-existent foul. On top of that Kante then got a totally unjustified yellow, which restricted him from then on (and led to him being substituted). Croatia's other goal was a gift. France are worthy champions.

France 3 Croatia 1 a.e.t.

Lowe and Wilde?

It's coming home.

As opposed to Rose's? What a load of bollocks. (No disrespect to Rose whose problems are nothing to downplay, and good luck to him.)

Oh well, 1 one-day trophy out of 2 isn't bad.
